I suppose if you can find another trope that fits that disappointment, that will work fine. However, I think a distinction should be made between \"underwhelmed\" and \"disappointed.\" The former can actually be a good thing, and AntiClimaxBoss can theoretically be made to work if that\'s the point, but to be clear, that would be an IntendedAudienceReaction and not an InvokedTrope.

But I don\'t know of a way to determine the creators\' original intentions. However, for now the AntiClimaxBoss entry can be written out to show how expectations were hyped up, and then let down, regardless of intent. Here\'s my proposal:

* AntiClimaxBoss: Adam Taurus was built up as a powerful and dangerous adversary for almost five years, ever since the initial \"Black\" trailer. In Volume 3, he nearly killed Blake and crippled and traumatized Yang. In Volume 5, he successfully pulled a mutiny on the White Fang\'s leader and took over. At the end of the volume, he and his forces are easily caught and thwarted by Blake and the rest of Menagerie. When Adam moves to attack Blake, she strikes him down with a single dodge and a double-handed strike. His forces are beaten and apprehended, and after being double-teamed by Blake and Sun, Adam is [[VillainExitStageLeft forced to make a retreat]], his forces lost and divided.

However, one last thing I\'d like to clarify is that, as a whole, the White Fang has been taken down, right? From what I can gather, Ilia states that Adam will have no one at all, and that the White Fang will be left divided. Thoughts?
