Sometimes a show (or other type of story) will seem to be going in a certain direction. Sometimes that direction is given more grounds by supplementary content. Some fans may be fine with this, some may be excited...and some might be irritated about it. Is there a trope for discribing this type of negative reaction to an upcoming arc or plot element? As an example, season 3 of the Flash ends with Barry leaving his loved ones behind (possibly forever) just as he was about to marry his fiance, Iris, and have their happy ending. An interview with the actress who plays Iris reveals that she would be okay with a going-back-and-forth kind of romance arc, which (as seen in other television dramas) usually involves the couple breaking up and dating other people and then getting back together again. Those who do not like this type of romance story arc are not looking forward to this happening, especially when Wordof God confirms that Barry will be returning the next season (can't have a show without the protagonist).
