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 😡😊

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.

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.

@@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.
This is why the Bruce Timm DC animated universe was so good, it had 6 interconnected shows (technically 7) and each lead onto the next show, even if one show didn't seem to have a proper conclusion, it got to feel like it did by the ending of justice league unlimited

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.

I saw that
Danny Phantom as a "Glitch in Time" series that properly explains the ending of the main show.
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 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.

He then "leaked" it online to try and force the network to start KND again through fan outcry. Annnnd that's why knd is never coming back.

Frankly Steven universe had lost T its magic with the last seasons when they decided to overly complicate the show and shove political ideology into the mix
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.
As someone who grew up and loved Fosters home for imaginary friends i think the ending kept in line with the overall wacky humour of the show. I dont think we needed any deep heart wrenching stories to close it out properly. Im very fond of the ending.
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)
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.

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?

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.

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.

Agreed. Whenever a KZread 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.
Wait, you cover Samurai Jack's fifth season AND video game but you DON'T cover Steven Universe Future?!? Double standards man. You could even argue that Steven Universe Future leads to even more Problems! And also Butch Hartman is the last person you want involved in any project going forward.
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.

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.
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.
... Hoagie...like the sandwich...not 'Hoagle', HOAGIE.
Per the creator Beast Boy had several ptsd after losing terra. Similarly to when in the newer series how he grieved for Superboy.

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
I wish you included Symbonic Titan
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.

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.

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.

You missed a rather infamous example - The Amazing World of Gumball. From what I understand the series ended as it did with the promise of a movie as a follow up which would bring full closure and explain everything 'off' about the series. . .three guesses at what didn't happen. Sad truth - 99.9% endings to all stories regardless of media the story is being told on are ill thought out, contrived, rushed, or just plain bad regardless of the media it's told on. This realization made me come up with a personal writing rule - Figure out the ending of the story while figuring out how to start the story. By doing this things like reader backlash will be cut down.

The bs they put in Steven Universe to cater to the alphabet mafia ruined the show.
I honestly didn't know SVTFOE was considered a bad, REALLY BAD, ending. I thought it was meant to be a bittersweet ending.
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.
It's the journey that's important not the ending
this is why you make the ending first after a few episodes being made and making sure that the ending still fits for the last episode of the entire show
White diamond wasn't just talked out of being evil. She literally ripped out Steven's gem, thinking that would bing back Pink Diamond, only to be proven wrong. THAT made her begin to change her mind about her ways. While nobody talked about it in Steven Universe Future, it was shown visually during Steven's flashbacks & intrusive thought of shattering white diamond as revenge for it. Edit: clarity
Another show i hated in the end was adventure time. cuz for all they build up they did to tell the story of Jake and Finn. I hate that in the end that Finns adventure is just forgotten to time and the only beings that got to live their "happy ever after" was PB and Marsoline. its almost as if they HATED Finn they way they did him in the end. Whats messed up is that ven normal finn, farm finn and Pillow fin had WAY better endings while our finn just grows old, senile and dies while trying to see Jake. It felt like a slap in the face for people who wanted Finn to at LEAST find some measure of happiness in the end.
You got super mixed up here with the Samurai Jack ending in the way you explained it. In the show, Ashi does not disappear immediately. She is able to go back in time with Jack, and then disappears RIGHT before she is about to walk down the aisle for their wedding ceremony. If she was going to disappear due to Aku's death, it should have happened right when he died. Showing her getting slightly weak, then able to travel back in time and live for at LEAST several days before dying right before they get married was not bittersweet at all. It was stupid in every way that made any sense. If they had gotten married and she got sick and died after and slowly faded away, that'd make some sense. Either that or she should have disappeared right when Aku died. Horrible all around.
That's the problem with all of the big companies these days, they force shows to end because of money money money, whether the creators love it or hate it because their opinion is overshadowed by greed.
The ending with Ashi actually coming back was meant to happen in the tv show, there was even the pre drawings of the story board to bring her back after as a reward from the gods. But it was cut even when it needed less then 1 more minute of animation at the end. So the game representing the ending he wanted after cartoon network shafting the creator again.
Wasn't Johnny also basically a self made man who went from the stereotypical 90 pound weakling too a body builder?
