Mötley Crüe did well as a Nikki Sixx playing-all-instruments project, but they went to shit when they added Vince Neil, Mick Mars and Tommy Lee and began attracting tabloid attention.

Guppy Love was perfectly fine until that mermaid and the crush came along and stole the plot.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate went from a potential 10/10 game to an utter disappointment once they added those annoying Splatoon kids. Such a waste of a character slot.

The moment I noticed that Metal Gear was meant to be about avoiding enemies instead of fighting them, I threw up my hands and said, "screw it." Kojima really should have listened to his boss from the start.

Pokémon: The Series was so much better when it was just about an impulsive child and his mom. As soon as he started traveling with that weird yellow thing, the show went down hill.

One Piece was fantastic until Luffy ate that Devil Fruit. I mean, come on - Super powers from eating fruit?! That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard! Squandered, squandered, I say...

Kane was ruined when they ended the Fake Diesel gimmick, had they been patient it could have been big and ended WCW early.

Dragon Ball was great when they added Bulma. I just wanted a story about a weird monkey-boy living in the woods, killing and eating giant beasts to survive, and here's an actual plot. Great.

The best character is always the one-shot disguise.

Dragon Quest was a fine old story about a dragon kidnapping a princess, but then they had to add this generic hero person and make it like every other fairy tale in existence.

The Young Elites was cool before Adelina discovered her powers. Then it just became a generic magical hero book.

Your Lie in April starts off as a cute story about a girl with a cat, but then partway through gets horribly derailed into some nonsense about some piano-playing kid. They should have just stuck with the original premise.

El Goonish Shive was ruined forever when they added actual plot and setting to the perfectly fine comic about two guys wandering around a void introducing you to their comic and trying to get their friend to wear a bikini.

Let's be real with each other, RoboCop would have been much better if Murphy stayed dead. It would have been a powerful statement of how harsh the job can really be, but no. They decided to make it into a schlocky action flick.

Leverage was a great show about a former insurance investigator struggling to cope with the loss of his son, but then he joined up with a bunch of criminals and the whole thing went downhill. How am I supposed to root for a group of crooks?

I like cute things. You gotta deal with it.

Iroduku The World In Colors was a great story taking place in an interesting futuristic world where magic was a normal part of society. That all came crashing down after ther episode where Hitomi gets sent into the past.

Lost was great until they shoehorned in a plane crash, a deserted island plot and ARGs into the perfectly good show about a bunch of people going on vacation.

Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins was fine as a solo singer, but then they had to team her with that Chili chick and Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes for some ungodly reason and make them form this TLC group.

Persona 5 lost me when I heard it was glamorizing high school thieves. Seriously Atlus? You could have made into a legal drama, but instead you decided on thieves in costume while ripping off Pokemon? For shame.

Digimon Adventure was ruined when Tai and the others got sucked into the Digital World. It could have been a perfectly good show about kids hanging together, but nooo. They had to add Mons.

KonoSuba had a great roster of main characters with a fantastic dynamic. So naturally, they had to utterly squander that by killing off Kazuma later in the story. As if that wasn't bad enough, at around the same time, they added that annoying Aqua lady, and the show barely even resembled it's old self anymore.

Friday Night Funkin' had some potential for a rhythm game, but unfortunately the first song immediately turned me off. The name is literally "Bopbeebo", I can't deal with that baby crap! I don't care about the rest of the other songs if it started off this poorly. Calling it now, this game is gonna crash and burn and it'll be left in the dust.
