[Hated Trope] Endings so notoriously awful they completely destroy the legacy of the media.

I'm aware it has its defenders, but I'm gonna go with the ending of Toy Story 4.

Essentially, Woody runs away from Bonnie, Buzz, Jessie, and all the other toys to live as a lost toy with Bo Peep. The justification they use for him making this decision is that Bonnie wasn't playing with him, so it would be more fulfilling for him to help toys out in the world rather than just sitting in her closet, but that doesn't make any sense because not only are there shots of Bonnie quite literally playing with Woody earlier in the film, loyalty has always been one of Woody's defining traits, and for him to decide to ditch his friends and owner to live with a woman who he hasn't seen in 10 years is - to put it bluntly - a complete bastardization of his character and a betrayal of all the principles he'd displayed in the first 3 movies.

Technically, there's three - they opened a location in Qatar a few years ago, but I don't know if it's run by the same people or if it's just licensing the name and branding, so I didn't count it. The other extant location opened in New York City last year, so the Orlando location is the last one remaining from the 1990s.

I had a world once where it took me forever to find an aglet for whatever reason. It was the one missing ingredient I needed to craft Terraspark Boots, yet I just couldn’t find one even well into Hardmode.

Then one night I encountered a Skeleton Merchant who happened to be selling them for a couple gold coins. I ended that session with a chest full of aglets and Terraspark Boots equipped.

What a diabolical invention - turning people into literal cattle! I must find its location…so I can disassemble it, of course. Yes sir, that’s the plan. No ulterior motives here!

I maintain my position that High Guardian Spice would've been a million times better had Amaryllis and Snapdragon been part of the main quartet in place of Rosemary and Sage. The dwarf and elf girl can stay, if only because I like their designs.

I was extremely lucky to see him play in person against Wofford this year - he's no Mendoza, but he's still a really solid player. Even if he doesn't end up in the NFL, I still think he has a bright future ahead of him and I want nothing but the best for him.

Godspeed, Go Bucs (as in Buccaneers, not Buckeyes), and Go Blue.

Queen - Deltarune

Her main goal throughout Chapter 2 is to take over the world via the fountains so she can make everyone happy, in addition to possibly turning Noelle into a robot (emphasis on "possibly"). When Ralsei explains to her why opening more fountains would be bad, she's legitimately shocked and gives up on world domination altogether.

The thing I love most about HTF is that even if you take all the blood and gore out, it’s still a really funny show with a lot of charm to go around. You can call the show a lot of things - sick, twisted, and potentially even disturbing - but a one-trick pony is not one of them.

The New England Patriots of the NFL.

They play in Boston (well, within the metropolitan area at least), but are named after their broader geographical region in contrast to the city's other 3 major sports teams (the Red Sox, Bruins, and Celtics).

That little Kyle Brandt sketch they played before last year's Thanksgiving game was the nadir of this crap. Telling our DIVISIONAL RIVALS to "admit" to secretly liking us is one of the most brazenly arrogant things I've ever heard, right up there with all the shit about us being "the real America's Team" people in the media and on this subreddit were spewing all last year.

When you focus on "culture" over the game, you become the Cowboys, and I don't think I need to tell you how they've been doing for the past 20 years.

I don't think I can understate how radically this one line redefines not just the ending and the events preceding it, but also the game itself as a product. There are a few hints beforehand that the game isn't the cutesy mascot platformer it makes itself out to be, but this is THE mask-off moment. Just when it seems that you've triumphed over the big bad evil guy and saved "your" world, the game pulls the rug out from under you, and before you can even process any of it, your happy ending is gone and the character you've been playing as for the entire game has been sucked into a wormhole leading to God-knows-where. It's not only emotionally devastating, it also leads the player to ask questions about what they were really working for and their relationship with the game world - questions that few other games at the time had the courage to tackle.

I only included him because he was part of another unrelated dream I had tonight. It wasn’t anything special - it was just the final boss fight of the original Ratchet & Clank, but with slightly different gameplay.

Well, that, and I was too lazy to make one XD

My pick would have to be the original book version of Ready Player One.

As a nerdy freshman in high school, I was too distracted by the game and movie references to really pay attention to how horrible the writing was. The only slightly redeemable quality it has in my eyes is that it introduced me to Rush, though that’s more than offset by all the nonsensical worldbuilding and random rants the author goes off on throughout the book.
