Have you ever loved a series/francise so much that you DIDN'T want to see it continue?

[Sarah Kerrigan]

I would have to say the Boondock Saints. As soon as I watched the first one I was like 'oh this was amazing!...andd it has a sequel..' And the sequel is still good, but as soon as I heard about 'hey there is a movie coming next! No wait, a TV show!' I was suddenly all 'nope'. Don't ruin something that was amazing, and turn it shitty.

That or how a Prometheus Sequel is coming. It was great the first time, thanks!

For me its Legacy of Kain. I loved what they did with it (although Blood Omen 2 is non-canon) and I don't need to see it done again. Stories can end. Really. Tolkien proved it.

 

[Professor Idle]

I heard rumours of a fourth Toy Story. No. No. No.

Seldom have I seen a trilogy wrapped up so well. You do not ruin that.

Bioshock's a big one. I have yet to play Infinite (don't worry, I have it, I'm just waiting until exams are outta the way), but after I played the mess that was Bioshock 2 I found myself wishing that #1 had been left as a standalone game.

The Office is another huge one. Once I heard Steve Carrell was moving on I immediately thought the series was gonna end (as it damn well should have). But nope, they kept it going without the centerpiece of the show and ruined what was one of the funniest shows on television.

I would say Star Wars, but the prequel trilogy gave rise to the "Chewie and R2-D2 are rebel spies" theory, which is badass.

hhhhmmm, kinda surprised no one has mentioned X-files yet... wow did that have an awful last 3 seasons...it hurt to watch

 

[Sir Shockwave]

Everything EVER. There is such a thing after all as outstaying your welcome after all, even if your company is incredibly schizophrenic when it comes to managing it's properties.

I felt that way about the Sword of Truth series, then I found out they were making a TV series and I thought "maybe"... Then a friend of mine watched it and told me it was horrible and I have never seen it or had any desire to watch it.

Does this count?

 

[Longstreet]

Scrubs.

Season 9.

I didn't want that. Nobody wanted that.

Wasn't that the med school one? Yea i'll role with that, they should have stopped it after 8 then. Although the reason it was planned to stop

Spoiler

JD leaving and all

was complete bonkers.

The reason he left;

Spoiler

wanted to live closer to his kid, and would have to travel half an hour more to his job. REALLY?! get up a bit earlier in the morning you lazy ass

For the rest i usually don't like stuff ending when i like it. But most of the time i do in hindsight if (or rather, when they eventually) fuck it up


EDIT; Some poster just reminded me of 2 and a half men. I saw one episode after charlie left, dear god it was awful.

 

[Worgen]

I'm really surprised no one has said mlp since the fandom was all.

About the whole alicorn Twilight thing.

 

[The Towel Boy]

I'm pretty sure just almost every Nintendo franchise is going to be on this list...

 

[Breaker deGodot]

Toy Story! A thousand times Toy Story! We do NOT need a fourth movie! NEVEEEERRRRR!!!!

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I don't know if I'd say I 'loved' it but I would have rather seen Star Wars: The Force Unleashed be a one-game kind of thing than...well we all know what happened with it.

Since I was just getting into Superhero comics, I wasn't against the New 52 and really enjoyed the first 8 issues of Deathstroke (especially number 8). Then Liefeld.

Ever since Nintendo announced that future Zelda games would be made using motion controls. I can barely even play Skyward Sword, the last thing I want is another one.

Does anyone remember Yuyu Hakushou? It was a pretty unique anime about a kid who gets hit by a car and must go through some trials before he can return to his body. If the anime was just a 6 episode mini-series that ended when Yusuke returned to his body, it would have been great and while I do like what the series became, it was basically a DBZ rip-off. It turned from the description above into a detective/fighting show then again into a tournament/fighting show then again into a 'we must kill this guy before he destroys the world' tournament/fighting show

I agree with people who didn't want Halo 4. I agree with people who said Dragon Ball Z (even Toriyama doesn't count GT as canon...I'd keep the movies but everything else should have ended with Goku dying on Namek with Frieza (I know he didn't die on Namek)).

 

[JoJo]

Torchwood should have died after season 3.

Got to agree here, it's a real shame because I thought the concept behind Miracle Day was a great idea and the child murderer character was pulled off very well, but the rest of the season just felt off. The whole premise felt stretched over too many episodes and the ending rushed when it came. The new characters... eh, a year later all I can really remember about them was that they were both American, one a black man and the other a blonde white woman. Neither of their personalities really memorable. I hope if another season does emerge they return to the "monster of the week" format or at-least cap any series-wide plots at five episodes like Children of Earth (which was very good).

Regardless of whether you count GT as canon or not, it should've ended with that at the very latest and stayed ended.

 

[Vhite]

Oban Star-Racers, the half-blood anime. I'm pretty sure that in could continue somehow but I'm just glad it didn't just because I like how things ended up (at least for some characters).

 

[TheVampwizimp_v1legacy]

Ghost In The Shell, they are already making a new serie with this ip but I'm already sure they mess it up. The 3 movies and the serie Stand Alone Complex wrapped it up fine.

Really? I don't see the problem. It's been five or six years since the last time anyone did anything with GitS, I'm excited that it's finally getting a new entry. And based on the one trailer I've seen, it seems fine so far. Nothing stood out as a red flag to me.

There is supposed to be a Wheel of Time movie series in the making.
At first I was excited but after thinking some I'm starting to hope it never sees the light of day.
There is just no way it could come out any good.

Bleagh. I was worried about someone doing that. I might be able to get behind a Game of Thrones-style HBO series, as that would at least have a chance of giving them the time and space and cast size necessary to do credit to Jordan's storyline. But no movie could ever come close to encapsulating all the characters and events of any single book in the series. Each book would have to be a whole trilogy, which would mean a total of 42 Wheel of Time films. That can NEVER work, and only a lunatic would ever try.

Yeah, it was kinda off wasn't it? Personally, I was more pissed at the general laziness the writers showed near the end of the season. It got really murky and then they just stopped trying to be coherent at all. That, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss the old characters. I mean, the black guy and the blondie were carbon copies of previous characters and it really felt like the writers weren't able to come up with actual personalities, so just doubled back to what they knew worked for the original ones.

If they're ever going to make another series (and I seriously wouldn't keep my hopes up, RTD has said in and interview that it might happen in 15 to 20 years) then I hope they focus on a completely new team, like Torchwood four or something. Let Barrowman stay with Arrow, he was really just hanging around in Miracle Day anyway.

Final Fantasy... should've stopped at X.... Though I find VI to be the pinnacle of the franchise, I will allow VII to be up there as well.
