The criticism at the end of Lost is not the final chapter itself, but rather the fact that unknowns were never resolved for which many were still hooked on the series.
Game of Thrones
We are still recovering from the disappointment that was the season finale of this series. For those who were once faithful followers of game of Thrones, it is difficult to explain the monumental disappointment that was the closure of this vast universe. David Benioff and DB Weiss —»D&D» for friends and haters— lost interest in the project seasons before it ended and the plot suffered with it.
Characters who were once ambitious and cunning ended up watering down and losing coherence. The ones who were good-natured became Disney villains overnight and vice versa. The script of each new episode made more water than the previous one. And the world premieres had failures due to carelessness in each of their production stages.
The season was a complete disaster. Let’s remember that premiere in streaming of a night battle that looked totally pixelated. The mythical ‘SICANSIOS‘ (‘She can’t see us‘), which could not be dubbed or translated as it did not even appear in the script. or the infamous Starbucks disposable cup as failure of match of the century. The eighth of Game of Thrones exemplified what happens in a multi-million dollar project when the board has emotionally jumped ship.
Our beloved cast of actors was the first to feel let down. They needed a lot of strength and therapy to face the interviews promoting the last seasons. Kit Harington himself, who played Jon Snow, called it disappointing the last season when they asked him to summarize it in a single word – the interviewer’s face was a poem, by the way. We will always have the first five seasons and the thousands of fan fiction better written than rulan by Internet. In the meantime, we will continue to pretend that the last season never existed.
The entourage
How could such an absolutely brilliant series have such a mediocre ending? The eighth season of Entourage ended in an eighth episode in which each character seemed to attack his own personality. An unfortunate ending no matter how you look at it that absolutely nobody liked.
Luckily, it seems that the writers of the series finished the work like this on purpose —probably to criticize the ‘they were happy and they ate partridges’ so widespread in Hollywood, which, after all, is the environment that criticized the series—.
A few years later, Entourage (the movie) It hit theaters around the world. And finally we could see the ending we all hoped to see. The film It begins a few weeks after the epilogue that the series told us. Within a few minutes, everything they had built in that series finale it goes to waste, and we were able to see a kind of long chapter of the series that, this time, was what we wanted to see from this HBO production.
Lois & Clark: The Adventures of Superman
Yes lost you were outraged for not explaining anything, this series was spectacular. Issued between 1993 and 1997, Lois and Clark: The Adventures of Superman prematurely terminated after the fourth season and about 88 episodes.
abc decided cancel the series when a fifth season was already in the works, so they solved it in a bit of a weird way. At the end of the third season, Lois and Superman finally got married. During the last season, both characters wanted to have a child, but after multiple investigations, the couple is informed that they cannot conceive.
Apparently, the drafts of the fifth season drew a scenario in which both protagonists raise a Kryptonian son who grows rapidly. When the writers learned that the series was not going to continue, they improvised a happy ending, but quite absurd. At the end of chapter 22, the two arrive home and They find a basket with a baby dressed in Superman logos. Next to the baby is a note that says the child belongs to them. Why? Well, because it was good for the writers. For some, this was the first time we had faced a deus ex machina.
How I Met Your Mother
For 9 years, the children of ted mosby They were listening to the badge that their father gave telling their stories. And it is that, if a target had this sitcomwas to solve that Question. Or so we thought. Poor naive.
At the time, this ending was one of the most hated in television history, with a near-scratch approval on IMDb. However, what the general public did not reflect on is that the creators of this series were deceiving us from the beginning. Ted is not telling his children how he met his mother. Why would he tell the story beginning a decade earlier and detailing point by point his affair with another woman? Would that make any sense?
What this series really tells us is how Ted spent a decade trying to woo the woman of his life. And he succeeded, even if he had to go through a bitter pill and admit to his children that his mother was nothing more than a second course. Possibly the critics they came from the fact that many thought they had wasted their time watching the series. However, it is an ending that gives a good reality bath to the viewer.
Dexter
This series was highly praised by critics, with a very brilliant first four seasons, but it was decaying little by little.
The end of Dexter he didn’t like it for being realistic. The serial killer kills Debra and we see how the protagonist leaves by boat, entering directly into the eye of a storm. A one-way trip, because they let us know that he would die shortly after.
However, after the credits we could see that still alive, and now lives in the middle of nowhere, working as a lumberjack. The change of opinion did not end up liking the audience, who did not buy the idea that the character would disappear and start a new life with a low profile.
