The finale was awful



to:

*aster2560: Henry danger is one of the worst sitcoms that I have ever seen in my life if I could put the whole series as a dethroning moment I would, but I can’t so I’m going with the series finale because it is a piss poor series finale for a show. I have many reasons for hating the finale, but my main issue is that they don’t resolve the whole Henry can’t graduate highschool sub plot he just leaves at the end

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* curiouskat: Over the course of the series, I grew to hate [[CasanovaWannabe James]] and his chauvinistic behavior, but it goes [[UpToEleven above and beyond]] in [[TheMovie "Big Time Movie"]]. The boys are inadvertently involved in a literal TakeOverTheWorld plot, and are being chased around London. As soon as the gang meets [[ActionGirl Penny Lane]], James is focused on [[SingleTargetSexuality her and only her.]] Normally, his persistence and treatment concerning women in the show itself is a major detracting point against his character, but the movie serves to make him as obnoxious as possible while they're trying to thwart a madman bent on world domination through [[EarthShatteringKaboom its destruction.]] James only [[SkewedPriorities cares to hook up with some girl and doesn't care about anything or anyone else.]] This continues to occur as a running gag throughout the entire movie. What makes this worse is that near the very end of the film, she kisses him, basically rewarding him for pestering her all day and wearing her down after she's constantly rejected his creepy advances! Yeah, this'll teach kids that if you bother a girl enough, she'll bend over to your whims and eventually go out with you! This certainly hasn't aged well, and it's not a movie I'd watch again any time soon.

* [[futuremoviewriter]]: Though I hate ''Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh'' with a passion, I'm not gonna judge the show by its standard and I want to address not only how angry I got watching "Peruvian Puff Peppers", but how extrememly angry I got in hindsight too. Not nearly as bad as the others mentioned, but just wait! This is the episode that spells out Megan as a KarmaHoudini and it's very clear that it's beginning the build-up of her always getting away with everything because the show's BigBad [[JokerImmunity has to be around for the long haul]], but what angers me so much is that this episode begins all that build-up...and it never pays it off! This episode was the formal introduction and it's one that I never wished I had gotten because seeing it, I took some comfort in her eventually being found out and having to answer for everything. I don't have that anymore because it never went anywhere! They created a great villain only to never seen her through to her comeuppance and a satisfying conclusion. Not to mention that Audrey and Walter being so convinced and naive of Megan's innocence and good-nature (even though she's openly bad-mouthed Walter before and after as well as been less than subtle about how much she likes seeing Drake and Josh hurt) and refusing to believe Drake and Josh even without evidence is both stupid and irritating to the core! Before, they played Megan as a sister who yes is very annoying to them, but still cares for them, until they started playing her as a megalomaniac and as [[OhCrap someone who could have indirectly poisoned someone at that competition]] in this very episode [[UpToEleven just to one up them]]. "Peruvian Puff Peppers" wasn't the worse, but it's excruciatingly painful as it began the snowball effect in the first place. It should have been clear after this episode, she doesn't really care if they live or die!

** Ferigeras: I would like to add to this, because that episode is actually much worse than my fellow troper above just described. That toy car that had to be surgically removed from his intestines? One pint of blood was required to actually perform the surgery safely, but obviously that blood would have to be of the same type as the patient, so how was Tori chosen, out of all people? That's where the aforementioned stealing of her medical records by Jade comes into play, as when one of the doctors told Robbie's friends of this requirement, Jade almost immediately announced that Tori had the same blood type as Robbie, which of course she knew from those medical records... which were stolen for the sole reason of attempting the "prank" with the flowers described by the troper above in the first place, and that's not even the worst part. Those three pints of blood Tori had to give as opposed to just one? Well, the first bag of blood was missing when Jade intentionally got rid of it when the doctor was looking away for a moment. So then a second pint of blood had to be taken... and then Robbie enters the room where Tori is currently in, picks up the second blood bag and just kind of plays with it in some infantile way, after which he accidentally drops it and splatters the blood all over the room. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Nice]]. Now, this would have been the first time I actually had something to be angry at Robbie about (given that just about everywhere else he's the ButtMonkey at the hands of an army of [[TheScrappy scrappies]] anyway), but this whole debacle happened because of Jade anyway, whose only reason for doing all of this being her wanting a role in her class's play... and as the absolute kicker to all of this, the moment that ultimately convinced me that this would be my Dethroning Moment for this show, her only punishment for all of this? She merely doesn't get that role, and she's just bummed about it... while Tori had to be in life-threatening danger at her hands (more than once in this one episode, mind you), who we then end up seeing barely able to even stand up from the lack of blood in her body. Admittedly, I had a strong feeling I would dislike Jade more than anyone else earlier than that given that she was a JerkAss in a Creator/DanSchneider show (already something of a red flag for me, given [[Series/DrakeAndJosh Megan Parker]]), but this single episode has finally cemented her as one of the most aggressively toxic examples of a KarmaHoudini in media history that I have ever seen.

* CapriciousSalmon: My DMOS for Josh has to come from "Megan's New Teacher." In the episode, Josh gets to teach as part of a student teacher program, and [[ContrivedCoincidence gets Megan's class]]. He's super enthusiastic about it and wants to challenge the kids, only they they don't like him and don't do any of his assignments. Are they being lazy or does Megan prank Josh like usual? No, all of their criticisms of Josh are right because for this episode, he has to act stuck up and tone deaf. Curious what he did? Let's see, he gives middle schoolers college level work that not even their parents can understand, and when they understandably don't wanna do it, he gives them a pop quiz they all fail. It'd be one thing if Josh was trying to teach them and they didn't listen, but Josh absolutely deserves to be penalized. It's one to give them work that might be a little too advanced, but that's absolutely Draconian. I'm surprised none of the parents complained or Megan didn't think to tell Walter and Audrey, or alert her teacher. Look, I'm a teaching major so I emphasize a lot with Josh in this episode, but he went way too far, he does not deserve a trophy for teaching them! [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Oh, and he might've caused one kid's parents to divorce because neither could understand the homework, but we're gonna ignore that.]] What got me was when he has to do a presentation while the real teacher observes him and he actually gives a lesson that'd be applicable for kids Megan's age!

age, so to some degree, he likely knows he's wrong!

* webster24: While I don't mind ''Henry Danger'', one episode just had a bitter ending to watch, and that would be "Birthday Girl Down". Basically, the plot is about how Henry is banned from Debbie Putch's birthday party since he was accused of setting the speed on the ball machine to 11 and causing her to fall off the roof. He successfully proves that he was not the one that did it, and Henry is permitted to stay. But right after that, just when it looks like Henry has learned his lesson (a moral that's rare in Dan Schneider shows), Debbie says that she's going to jump on her trampoline. The second she said the words "right near the roof", I knew exactly what was going to happen. And I was right - Henry gets a balloon that's stuck on the lights near the roof, and he jumps onto the trampoline and hits it the same time as Debbie, which causes her to fly off the roof and onto the pavement again. That basically ruined the entire thing, because just as it was looking to be cute that she was accepting his apology, he conveys that he's learned nothing. So much for that.

* webster24: While I don't mind ''Henry Danger'', one ''Game Shakers'' had its share of fun episodes here and there, and the episode just "Poison Pie" was okay, but it had a bitter ending to watch, and that would be "Birthday Girl Down". Basically, one of the plot is about how Henry is banned from Debbie Putch's birthday party since he was accused of setting the speed on the ball machine hardest scenes to 11 and causing her to fall off the roof. He successfully proves that he was not the one that did it, and Henry is permitted to stay. But right after that, just when it looks like Henry has learned his lesson (a moral that's rare watch in a Dan Schneider shows), Debbie says that show I can remember in a long time. Babe and Kenzie made a pie full of peaches in an attempt to make up with a doctor they were causing problems to, and the doctor supposedly gets sick from it and the girls are interrogated by the police. Then, Kenzie pulls Babe aside, vehemently accusing Babe, who claimed to hate peaches, of poisoning the pie, which Babe is understandably stunned by. She repeatedly denies sabotaging the pie and Kenzie continues to antagonize her, and eventually Babe decides she's going to jump on her trampoline. The second she said had enough and the words "right near the roof", I knew exactly what was going to happen. And I was right - Henry gets a balloon that's stuck on the lights near the roof, and he jumps onto the trampoline and hits it the same time as Debbie, which causes her to fly off the roof and onto the pavement again. That basically ruined the entire thing, because just as two get back out there. Sure, it was looking to be cute revealed that she was accepting his apology, he conveys it wasn't the peaches that he's learned nothing. So much made the doctor sick and things worked out in the end, but that scene was just totally unacceptable. It was just Kenzie being an ass to Babe for that.
absolutely no reason and served no purpose other than to waste my time.

* SpaceProtagonist: I previously said I'd give you the Henry Danger episode: "Henry's Frittle Problem", but now, I'm giving you a character's personality from Series/IAmFrankie. At the end of season 1, Andrew made a HeroicSacrifice to help Frankie escape, and risked being captured and used by WARPA. We should be proud of him, except for one little detail. When the gang helped Andrew escape from WARPA, he proved to be a jerk. Andrew refused to listen to his own creator because he thought he was using him, he's quick to trust Simone, an android who was introduced in Season 2. Plus, when James tried to introduce Andrew to the critics, Andrew and Simone thought he was being a selfish fame-seeking jerk, but look... when he went to school, he was proud to suck up the fame centered around him, and use it to his advantage, and he tried to sabotage James' interview just to hang out with his stupid android girlfriend. I didn't think it was possible to make a sacrifice maker unlikable, but [[SarcasmMode Congratulations, you managed to prove me wrong!]]
