Endings to tv shows/movies that you absolutely hated. Spoilers allowed

[Yourangduckie]

Any movies or tv shows that got to the grand finally and you were like "what the actual fuck!"

Mine was Lost. Felt it was a rushed lazy ending.

The last episode of Dexter was pretty grim too.

I disagree. Thought it was a good proper ending

Really??? I was so disappointed with the lorry ending

One day makes me angry too. They spend the entire plot making Emma be responsible for making Dexter into a better person and what thanks does she get? It's definitely a plot written by a man.

This absolutely although not many people irl agree with me.

The Witches, the 1990 film, which was given the happy ending of the hero being changed back into a boy. Legend has it that Roald Dahl hated this ending, and stood outside his local cinema with a megaphone, telling people not to see the film, in his dying year.

Also, if a book is allowed: the short story "The Serial Garden" by Joan Aiken, in which a boy builds a cardboard model garden, which grows into a real garden; until the boy's mother burns the model. Apparently, readers of the book (decades ago) were really angry and upset about the ending.

Another vote here for HIMYM. So crap.

same! And the “hey kids, so your mom’s dies, but whatever” and the kids “ohmergad dad!! It’s Robyn who’s your true love!! Not mom!! Go get some!!!” 🤯🤯🤯

YES!! Absolutely ridiculous. Took away the main purpose of the book.

Behind her eyes on Netflix. What even was that ending!!?!

Oh that was utter garbage.

True to the book! A bit better explained in the book.

Well the book sounds shit too.

I had mixed feelings about it, for sure. I did like the bit where Louise ( Rob) looks malevolently at the child!

When it first aired I watched seasons 1,2 and most of three hut fell away. Last year we decided to binge watch it all. I'll be honest, I had not a clue wtf was going on half the time! I am one of those who thought they died in the crash!

The music played over the end of the last episode of Breaking Bad was just awful. Really middle of the road, cheesey rock. Such a shame.

Hard agree!!

I was super pissed at that ending.

And Jed Mercurio using it to make his little political point and being all “Well that’s how it is in real life”.

If I wanted to watch real life stuff Jed, I wouldn’t tune into a television DRAMA 🤯🤬

Yeah, I’m still annoyed 😂

I agree. Why, why ,why was there any need to have the fire??? It wasn’t even as if it was shown or referred to in any way which helped the plot.

My first thought.

I didn't mind most of the ending of GOT, but the worst bit was the fight arya had with the knight king. After building him up for so long as this big boogey man, it was literally over in 2 minutes. I was expecting a massive epic battle but it was such an anticlimax lol.

The real house actually burnt down between the end of the series and the Christmas special. But they could have just used a set and not shown the outside.

Yes! We don’t need real life, we want escapism! It was such a wonderful experience pre-ending, everyone talking and discussing who H was and then …
It was as if someone poured cold gravy over our trifle.

I remember finishing the last episode and just staring at the tv, shouting “What the fuck was that??!!”

Sorry only just saw this as am in the middle of moving house and only have a semi-reliable mini hub until the fibre optic engineer comes next week. It's basically a group of writers who work together to create scripts for specific television programmes - so it's not written by a single person but in collaboration. I've just checked and my friend worked on series four - so definitely not responsible for the finale! Phew!

I’m so glad you know that Aiken book, @scalt! I read it to my children years ago and it made me truly devastated. I still see the book on the shelf and think maybe somehow this time the boxes won’t get thrown away (but I’ve also got the vaguest memory of there being a sequel book where it does get addressed?). Absolutely heartbreaking.
