Stories that should've ended much sooner

[Glory To Arztotska]

Inyasha doesn't have a sequel. I don't acknowledge it.

Oh God dammit, I hate that you reminded me that this exists.

I'd call what they did to the dynamic between Sesshomaru and Rin character assassination if it didn't seem like what they legitimately wanted to do.

I'm almost afraid to ask but... what did they do?

The Blacklist (2013-2023)
James Spader being allowed to freely play a sassy near-omnipotent criminal mastermind was almost enough to keep this show interesting past the first 2 or 3 seasons. But it became extremely clear that there was an original intent to end the show quickly but which kept getting pushed back because it became super popular. I stopped watching around season five which at the point they had done yet another big fake out for the penultimate secret that Reddington is keeping from Liz about their connection. And if you read the wiki synopsis for the last couple seasons they failed/forgot to even reveal what the secret was, which was the foundation of the entire show. Really this is just another example of what happens when a good plot is stretched to death on the rack in order to serilize a few extra seasons.

Are there any decent fantheories out there I can pretend are the real ending? I also dropped it.

Sesshomaru and Rin went from a "Lone Wolf and Cub" adoptive parent and child dynamic to having children.

Dunno anything about that series so I'll assume yes.

Ah. There's even a trope name for it: Wife Husbandry. Very common in Japan. Goes all the way back to The Tale of Genji. Seems creepy and weird to modern audiences, though.

I will never stop being amazed at how Disney dumb-lucked into Lone Wolf And Cub But It's Star Wars, and it was massively loved, and they pissed it down their leg.
