Hello? Hello, hello?
The Loud House is ruined forever when they added the white-haired Token Boy in a perfectly fine show about a family of 10 sisters being chaotic.

The Unknown Pleasure they were talking about
Shin Megami Tensei started out REALLY solid, with those two Japanese kids climbing up that pyramid, but they just HAD to rip off Pokemon with that Demon Negotiation mechanic...
I can't say goodbye to yesterday…
Pokémon died the minute they added the Pokémon. Completely took away from the character dynamics.
Electro Archon
Danganronpa started off great with a wonderful set of characters. And then they killed them off. So much potential character development squandered.

Godzilla
Power Rangers had decent (but later good) writing and strong fight scenes, but everything went to shit when they took Stock Footage from Toku, meaning that the series would be incapable of any sort of originality or charm.
SKREEEEEEEONK!
The They who said it
You know 12 Angry Men? It's awful because they set it in one room, with occasional shots of two others. No set design. Bah!
I’m a space pirate, give me your moon rocks.
Man, Invader Zim was so much better when it was still a show about a paranoid crazy kid trying to prove to everyone that aliens and the supernatural exist. Why did they make his suspicions correct by adding an alien to the show in the stupidest way possible? And what's with that annoying robot. Bleugh. I give it two more seasons tops.
Forum signature.
Thomas & Friends was ruined forever when they added the talking trains to the perfectly good period drama about a railway controller on a British island trying to run a small regional railway.

Sesame Street was much better before they introduced Muppets into the show.
eh
dark souls was totally ruined the moment the dragons got killed! they were my favorite, man, why couldn't it be an era about them?
A Gentleman Pirate
Friends was absolutely ruined when the friends were added. They were so unlikeable and cliche.
It’s not about the desti-something, it’s about the whatever.
What comes up
Lord of the rings was ruined when they created the fellowship, it was better when it was just the hobbits.
"So I'm going to be a hero. I'll make that money...So that my mom and dad can have easier lives!"
WOOOOOOW
Gravity Falls was so much better as a show about a conniving old man and his two hapless young employees trying to run a money-hungry tourist trap. But then those two stupid kids showed up and ruined everything with their stupid magic conspiracies!
My favorite sci fi enemies are the giant sexy depressed women
Avatar: The Last Airbender was ruined the moment it was revealed that the titular character wasn't a Blank Slate which the viewer could impose themselves on.

Bonnie's Artistic Cousin
House of Anubis was Ruined Forever once they added Americans to the cast.
Current Project: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
『 』
The Yu Gi Oh anime went to shit the moment they made it about games? How could that ever be engaging?
Super Mario Bros could've done without Mario tbh. He took all the focus away from the rest of the Mushroom Kingdom.
uwu'd too hard
Epithet Erased would be perfect without those weird word powers people have! Ugh, the show spends too much time on them. It would've been a great show about a trip to the museum otherwise!

What comes up
Batman was way better back in the early golden age stories when he used a gun and killed people.
"So I'm going to be a hero. I'll make that money...So that my mom and dad can have easier lives!"
Clone High was such a great show about a high school principal and his robot servant before they shifted the focus to the teenage clones of historical figures he genetically engineered.

Doom used to be so compelling with the marine defiantly standing up to his superior for not shooting civilians. And then they sent him to Mars and added Demons. Fonzie's got competition.

Electro Archon
Puella Magi Madoka Magica was great when it was all about the Incubators and their quest to save the universe from its heat death. And then it became just your standard Magical Girl show. I'm honestly glad those girls got killed off. What do they have against Kyubey, anyway? He's working for a noble goal, and he's so cute!

The Fourth-Placers' Revenge
Magic: The Gathering was ruined by all the busted cards printed in Limited Edition Alpha. Seriously, who on Earth thought Black Lotus was a good idea?

I like cute things. You gotta deal with it.Imma be real with you, I gave up on Hades the moment I heard that I'm not playing as Hades. I mean, who gives a crap about some DeviantArt-OC-looking guy who's based on some nobody when you could be playing the Lord of the Dead himself?

Inspired by a joke within the Doctor Who fandom, claiming the show was Ruined Forever "when they added the alien in a time-traveling phonebox to the perfectly good show about a policeman walking past a foggy junkyard at night and hearing a strange noise."
The game goes like this: You say something along the lines of "[X show] was ruined forever when they added [description of the lead/main character] to the perfectly good show about [half the plot of the first episode]", then the next person does so.
I'll start: "Sponge Bob Square Pants was ruined forever when they added the chipper sea sponge to the perfectly good show about a greedy crab and dead-inside squid trying to run a dying fast-food restaurant."
