[@zsuleteBabaros]

Facts!!

[@dartocop7021]

I absolutely agree. My brother and I used to fight over who got to have the remote to the tv because we were SO EXCITED to see the newest episode of the OG Teen Titans. Then they just pulled the plug on it to make way for this newer, stupider version of the Teen Titans we idolized. OG Teen Titans ended their episodes with morals. They stayed serious about dark, mature themes, such as the episode where Robin has PTSD after their final fight with Slade. Teen Titans Gos thinks it's funny to make fun of things like that, which I'm surprised hasn't gotten the show's creators in trouble already 😡😊

[@thebloodedge284]

I remember watching a valentines episode of Johnny Bravo, and in it, Johnny's mom found him a girl who was perfect for him and loved him so much. But at the end of the episode, she couldn't be with him because she was a spy and made him lose his memory in order for him to not get tangled up with her fighting her enemies. I always had a feeling after that episode she secretly watches him, still wishing that they would be together again. For a finale, I want Johnny to finally be with her.

To be fair Samurai Jack's canon ending being that of a video game is a result of the insanely massive backlash Tarkovsky got for the original ending of the show. Like seriously people said to avoid season 5 not because it was bad but because the ending was insanely disrespectful to Jack.

[@TsukabuNosoratori2]

And also the original ending was rushed, so he just had to essentially shove it out like a bad fart at the time. I'm glad he fixed Jack's ending. Of any character that deserves a happy ending, it's our Samurai Jack.

[@phantom-ri2tg]

Just saying. I actually decided to not watch season 5 even before the ending was out. From what I saw it was a massive departure from what the original show was like. I think of it as an edgy reboot rather than a continuation.

[@tanepukenga1421]

@@phantom-ri2tg But the OG show... had child murder in it. Up until the end of the Daughters of Aku fight episode, I thought it was done rather well for 1 season on a tooth floss budget. Now if they replaced Aisha with someone like... the scottsman's daughter (any of them) then THAT would've made a (slightly) better ending

[@SatanRomps]

​@phantom-ri2tg I thought season 5 was amazing. I didn't think of it as "edgy", rather the ptsd and trauma that gets piled onto a person who's entire life's mission is "I need to kill ultimate evil so everything I know and love isn't dead." Killing evil is a task that will never be able to be completed and spending years going "I need to kill evil so I can go home" really fucks with a person. Also, what happens to the hero's mind and honor when he's forced to kill living humans? Do the ends justify the means? I honestly thought it was amazing.

[@phantom-ri2tg]

@@SatanRomps That is not what I meant. I meant the killing people after only killing robots and monsters in the original. And wow I sure love losing all the stuff I put in a comment thanks to youtube's ui. So first of all the whole time skip seems like a cheap excuse to reset the series. In the original there was not just portals but beings who could time travel and Jack was shown able to age. Furthermore when I wanted a conclusion I wanted an exploration of if it was really right to time travel as what was the point of helping anyone if it would all be undone? And the ending is a cumulation of these things. You mean to tell me 50 years of Jack not doing anything and everyone he helped was fine? Wow what an evil filled world. The original had explored the stress of his journey and asked the question of if he could even rest at all knowing any time spent resting is time Aku would be harming people. Except apparently it was fine because he could take a whole 50 year break.

I'd say that _Winx Club_ is a recent example of this. The new season is rebooting the franchise, so the "official" finale of the 20-year original run is a damp squib that ends with the Winx using an all-powerful wish to . . . make themselves the magical guardians of the universe forever, something that they already were by default. Not to mention that the season takes (arguably) the show's main villain Icy and retcons pretty much everything about her in an unsubtle and continuity-buggering way without resolving any of that, while using that to toss one final insult to a fan-favorite character from the early seasons by establishing once and for all that witches *have* to be evil and "good" witches _need_ to become fairies or they'll just turn out rotten eventually.

The ending to Adult Swims Samurai Jack was ill-thought-out. Their premise was that since Jack defeated Aku in the past then Aku's daughter could not exist as that future had been destroyed. If that future HAD been destroyed by Aku dying in the past then JACK could not have traveled back in time to defeat Aku. It's called a paradox. I remember being so pissed off by the ill-thought-out ending. In my head cannon, the other gods (Remember Aku was a god of shapeshifting and with a domain over time who was being hunted by the other gods in the first episode of the first series.) took Aku's daughter to judge whether she was as evil as her father and would be returned to marry the immortal demi-god Jack.

You'd think so, but the very first episode has a little girl wanting to adopt him. The issue seems to revolve around one big fault in the show, the adoptions don't seem to need, or consider the approval of the imaginary friend involved. They can be adopted AGAINST THEIR WILL. Nor does there seem to be any screening as to the suitability of the child. The girl who wanted to adopt blue appeared to be a very mean one and basically chased him through the house to try and catch him.

[@cmndrkool321]

[@metazoxan2]

@@cmndrkool321 I mean it IS modeled after IRL adoption agencies and children aren't really considered responsible enough to ... choose their own parents. But I do feel if there was an adoption that was obviously bad, any orphanage that actually cared wouldn't let it go through. and taht's the thing Fosters home is meant to be made out of love and good will. They DO care supossedly. So the way they utterly don't care feels odd. Another big issue with the show IMO is, and this is goign to sound weird, the life span of an immaginary friend is. As far as we can tell they don't age. And the entire premise is that kids became adults and abandoned their imaginary friends ... for some reason (seriously if these are real living beings you gave life why abandon them?). So ... what happens afterwards? Do they fade away eventually? Do they cease to exist when their creator dies? This is never explained. What would have fixed both of these issues would be establishing that if an immaginary friend has no child to be with after a long enough time they cease to exist. This would create a reason Fosters home would be willing to accept any adoption without filtering the applicants. Because preventing the immaginary friends from fading away is more important for them. This would also create the oppurtunity to write an episode where someone's time is almost up and the rest of the characters rush to find a child willing to adopt them.

Your ending monologue... about it being about the journey, not the destination... is why Teen Titans is still referred to the best version of the group, even to this day, and why many fans of the old show despise Teen Titans Go (which feels like it's just a parody filled with childish and crass humour, instead of a proper follow-up to such a fantastic show)

[@MindCaged]

As a couch potato for almost the first half of my life, I've actually noticed there are a ton of shows that have had bad endings and an unfortunate number with no endings at all. I think it's due to the nature of tv, where all the shows are /trying/ to get renewed to keep going, but they never know if they will until after they already wrap up production for the current season. Which is why so many shows end on cliffhangers, and perhaps maybe at least some of the bad endings are because the endings are rushed when they only find out at the last minute they're not going to be renewed. The samurai jack ending hurt with Ashi disappearing, I mean I admit it /actually/ makes sense and I could feel it coming, but still, if she survives in the video game, all the better I say. It reminds me of the end of Gurren Lagann which /really/ pissed me off as it seemingly went against the /entire/ philosophy of the show, which was to keep fighting and do the impossible, but at the end instead of finding /some/ way to save Nia, they just had her die at like the /worst/ possible moment in the last few minutes of the show and Simon just accepted it and went on to become a freaking anonymous vagrant, it's like it was designed to stab the fans in the heart, or at least me. I also didn't like the ending of the original Full Metal Alchemist where they were trapped in the other world away from everybody they care about except each other with no alchemy to even attempt to go back.

[@Burn_Angel]

2003 Fullmetal Alchemist's ending is not canon. For the realending, you should read the manga, or watch Brotherhood.

[@markmunroe-hz8rf]

In my view Samurai Jack ends with him mourning Ashi along with his friends who died with others in the future as Jack altered the past. He is later rewarded when Ashi is recreated and marries Jack and they have warrior kids. Or, Jack cannot return to the past, accepts his fate, defeats Aku, the ghost of his parents proud of him, he marries Ashi, the ageless effect vanishes, they have a son, who carries the sword and future technology to fight the evil that lingers after Aku dies. What do you think?

[@Sorain1]

If I'd been asked 'fix this' I'd have had the ending be her vanishing and Jack crying out to the Gods that made the sword in defiance of this injustice. The Gods then fix it by securing Ashi's existence by their own power (and thus sealing the end of Aku by preventing a two state paradox situation.) and consider the matter closed. Cue the couple walking back to his home together.

[@JustinKase1969]

What I find funny is that Johnny Bravo has a bad ending because he didn't get to find "the girl" at the end, while Samurai Jack's video game ending is wrong for allowing him to "get the girl". So the guy who is kind of a narcissistic jerk deserves the happy ending, but the guy who fought for the universe for decades and sacrificed so much did not? I, for one, liked the revised ending in the game - just wish it was the actual ending when broadcast. Honestly, I was expecting a shorter mini-series to follow with a search for Ashi.

The worst part of Steven Universe was its fandom.

[@LunkovichTromofski]

hey give its tumblrinna writers some credit, the fandom is at least tied with them as worst aspect

[@crimsonmaelstrom573]

Oh God! You couldn’t hold a conversation with fans because they would just go on and on about it! They were the most annoying people I ever met

[@Scantronimus466]

The second worst part was the show itself.

[@canaisyoung3601]

That applies to a lot of 2010s cartoons. They're average to amazing, but their fans ruin it by just being themselves.

SPOT ON TEEN TITANS!!!!! The way Terra said goodbye to beast boy hurt badly. Meanwhile I showed my sisters the old teen titans & they completely forgot Teen Titans Go existed. It was just that good & it felt very incomplete.

Long story short, Cartoon Network sucks at endings.

[@xRussianbishop]

You can drop the “at endings” all together. At what point did CN and Nick go from fun and mystery to almost stale like a prison

[@Topgamer-nz7sd]

Rumor has it that the creator of Danny phantom is wants to do a live action movie of Danny phantom with Tom holland for the role of the ghost boy

[@akmi1931]

I think one of the worst parts about Star Vs The Forces of Evil was the totally forced and cliche way they push Star and Marco together. The story was perfect with them being best friends and trying to force a romance between them actually ruined that. There isn’t enough portrayal of the notion that boys and girls can be friends without having a romantic element to it.

[@AzureKyle]

Teen Titans is my go-to for explaining why you want to have a fitting end for a story before it starts to get stale. Because they had originally had a proper ending for the show, literally titled The End. But then CN and WB forced them to make another season, which bombed, which is why they then pulled the plug, giving us the Terra episode as the final ending of the series.

[@ddqfpluskick]

To be fair This is why you should 1. Get a deal for enough episodes you need to finish your story. 2. Don't keep stretching things out when you don't.

[@riftwilliams]

Honestly I love the Final Episode for Teen Titans. It showed one thing that most endings will never do. "The battle will continue, even if you aren't there to see it."

[@kingarthurii5001]

I actually heard about the Star VS Forces of Evil ending, and didn't care that much until I was given more context. I never watched the show because I wasn't a fan of the artstyle, but I did like some of the characters and I understood why other people liked the show. So it's a bit of a dark twist when suddenly, Star literally commits genocide on all Magic-Born. Now I'm afraid to look up if any of the characters I liked were Magic-Born and if it turns out that they are now dead because of Star.

[@sammy_butterfly]

If you liked: Tom, ponyhead, buff frog, Hekapoo, glossaryck, Toffee, etc. they're dead

[@kingarthurii5001]

@@sammy_butterfly I'm not going to lie to you, 5 of those were the characters I liked. Weren't most of those guys friends with Marco and Star, you're telling me she killed her friends in order to stay with Marco?

[@sammy_butterfly]

​@@kingarthurii5001yes.

[@ViridianForest2934]

Actually her "genocide" was a mutual understanding, even of those born of magic, that magic is evil and causes more harm than good. So it was more of a sacrifice to save as much as they could of both worlds while ridding them both of magic.

The video game ending of Samurai Jack is better. Almost everyone I talk to agrees Jack deserved his happy ending after all his hard work.

[@Sorain1]

Even those who don't generally can't stand the paradox problem. She was how he got back, thus no her means way to have the kill on Aku back then and now the loop starts again. By definition, she has to continue to exist or the entire season/series was just a continual looped paradox devoid of any meaning.

[@hiddenflare6169]

Buddy, if you are going to put the best soultion to shipping wars in a thumbnail (/s), then you better talk about it instead of pretending its not there! Geez I get its possible someone on the team just put that up for a really cheap clickbait, but it just tells me how confident you are on your work that you need to lie to get people interested.

[@christinacaudle8333]

Agreed. Whenever a KZbin Channel does this, I make a habit of not watching their videos anymore. Even an honorable mention would have been ok for the thumbnail. That way you're not straight up lying to the viewers like that. Glad I'm not the only one annoyed for being lied to like that.

[@SockieTheSockPuppet]

Just like with Thundercats and the original run of Young Justice. For all their insistence to get toy sales equaling "popularity", they sure didn't bother to make much. Hell, Green Lantern didn't even _get_ toys, and people wanted them.

95% of the things you just said were straight up cat.But some of the things you did say on the rare 5 percent were kinda fax For example, the Steve universe one.No, that's not the reason.Hello, boy.Sorry for anyone who is in the LGPTQ Community , but it was basically an episode based on lesbian slash gay marriage Before. You ask this was way before 2015 before it was legalized When the gay marriage episode was aired, a huge argument between the greater Stephen universe and Cartoon Network ensued, stating that it was very inappropriate.And we're goingna be cutting and canceling the shows well seasons Unfortunately , however , the stephen universe creator was only able to fight for only a couple more episodes which Is why the ending felt so rush

[@MCPunk55]

Hm... Grimm was a show I adored but the last season was clearly rushed. Even the actors confirmed it. The Wessen CGI was bad, the storyline was held together by spit and a lot of things were left unanswered. There was supposed to be a season 7 but the actors said they ran out of money, which is why season 6 was so mediocre and rushed. Honestly, I wouldn't mind watching just a series of cases the department had to solve, with the help of spice shop owners Rosalee and Monroe. The only character development I didn't like was Claire Coffee's Adalind. She went from a badass Hexenbiest to a neurotic scared soccer mom. Sure, Eve's a lot more powerful but it doesn't mean Adalind has to lose herself. Also Sgt. Wu. His Wessen form was completely ignored and overshadowed, despite having serious implications. He was basically a lycanthrope without being a werewolf. And I loved the episode where he lost the fear of Wessen. "I've no idea what you are, but you're certainly no Aswang!" I know, it's not a cartoon, but hell. Every show needs a proper ending.

I don’t know where you got your information but no Alien Force wasn’t created because the original show’s ending was “bad”, in fact Alien Force was in production before the last season of Ben 10 even aired, in fact the last episode aired on the same week as the first episode of Alien Force.

Star vs The Force of Evil ending may be weird, but even so I still love it because I didn’t immediately watch it because I didn’t think I would love it, but when I watched it for the very first time and seeing Toffee I fell in love with the show. When I see a show I immediately fell in love, but this was different. It made me to judge it by it cover.

[@Johannesdertaeufer69]

Hard agree! I loved the ending so much I would even consider it to be like top 3 endings of all the shows I ever watched. The creators decided to do something different by not just giving the main character a random power boost because of the power of friendship or something similar to be able to defeat the enemy but by actually making the enemy an unstoppable force and putting star into this tough decision. The genocide thing also is bullshit IMO I mean there are mermaids and gryphons and stuff alive at the ending so the only creatures that could have been killed are the ones that are like 100 % magic which are like 3 creatures in the series so trading these few creatures to save all universes seems like a good deal. Also if Marco and Star willing to give up everything, willing to die for each other in the realm of magic doesn't make you feel a thing I don't know what else does. It at least made me as a grown man shed a tear or 3 and that doesn't happen too often :)
