The DmC: Devil May Cry mop hair. You can't really get a more obvious "fuck you" than that. If it hadn't been for the controversy surrounding the new Dante and the way Ninja Theory responded, it might have been a humorous reference to the older games. But given the context surrounding the scene, I really can't help but feel that Ninja tried, and failed, to get a rather childish last laugh.
TLDR right away! What was, in your opinion, the biggest "FUCK YOU" to the audience that you ever witnessed in a movie, tv show, book, video game, anime, manga etc.
Okay then, let's talk about last episode of Game of Thrones!
I am seething with rage and infuriation. And don't get me wrong, I'm not against good characters getting killed. I think that the Red Wedding was brilliantly done and felt not forced and even somewhat natural in the flow of events as a whole. But the conclusion of that fucking fight between Viper and The Mountain just really felt like a giant "FUCK YOU" to the whole audience! Here we have an amazing new character with interesting backstory portrayed by a very good actor. And now he's gonna get brutally murdered by a FUCKING CARICATURE whose actor was replaced two times! And don't even get me started on how freaking bullshit that death was! You telling me that someone with skills and reflexes of Oberyn wouldn't be able to just roll away quickly after getting knocked down? Or that he wouldn't be able to block one hit to the face? And that even Mountain would be able to do all that after getting hamstrung, pierced through the chest AND poisoned?! It all just felt forced! Like Martin was thinking "There's no way I can just let more skillful warrior win! Let me check up my ass... oh, here it is!"
Well mine is also from GoT, though it's the books. Specifically the ending of the fifth book, which in theory concludes the 'Song of Ice and Fire' arc of Got.
At the end of the fifth book, in theory concluding this huge sweeping saga... *nothing* I mean *NOTHING* is wrapped up or concluded!! It ends on several cliff-hangers!! Then looking back over the course of the past two and a half books you realize that *only one important thing has been resolved in the whole lot*!!! (Cersei's power broken.)
I realize that this was probably a decision from the publishers based on the size of box sets they want to sell, but even so $&@( $%^# #%&& *@%& #$*$$# ^*@~** YOU George RR Martin!!!
The Martian Successor Nadesico film Prince of Darkness come to my mind especially when you had watched and loved the series-
Ok so Akito and Yurika did NOT lived happily ever after (someone fake their death so which Akito got torture and Yurika became that thing core) and it was made worse that Akito, the once likeable cook and anime fan into a emotionless anti hero!
I hear Evangelion (the original series) gave its audience the middle finger to the point that Hideaki Anno received multiple death threats afterwards. Haven't seen that far into the show - got bored with it halfway through - but that's a pretty famous fuck you.
No, the original series was Anno knuckling down and saying, 'Let's see how far we can take this'.
At the halfway point in the series shit starts to go down, and as the audience you're waiting for that sweet relief of the light at the end of the tunnel that you get most other shows like this. But this never quite happens in NGE.
End of Evangelion was really the rather mean-spirited slap, with Anno basically going 'Oh, you wanna know what really happened?! Well here you go...'
Now that I think about it Mahoromatic had one of the biggest bullshit endings I've ever seen.
The whole show is a light-hearted, nonsensical harem comedy, and then suddenly presents you with some overly dramatic, extremely far-fetched and convoluted "Gainax" ending. For no fucking reason at all. God, fuck that show.
It's like Gainax thinks, 'Oh yeah, we made Evangelion, let's give every show we make from here on out a similar ending, whether it fits or not.'
Y'see, there's this company that mainly operate on XLIG; Silver Dollar games.
They're shit.
In one of their more infamous games, "A Madman's Guide to Happiness", it's all gorny and psychological as you go through a madman's computer, who has killed himself. And then at the end, after roytalty motifs, bullshit mathematical equations, and stock baby crying sound effects, the game just sticks up its arms and says
"lol he wuz riht behind u faggit u shud gt rapd"
...And by extention, all of their games are like this. They did make one game that wasn't shit though. Just mildly racist.
I am going to have to go with the last episodes of Lost. The whole thing was a just a string of red herrings and I started to get used to it and was thinking "Oh so there will be a thread that connects all this I wonder where it is. I hope it is cool and connects as many seasons as possible"
but no look we are in a temple. What does the temple represent? A vague idea of life after death. Oh why is that important? Look they are in a temple what more do you want. I don't know conclusion, any conclusion even a bad one.
Still yeah to the OP I can get it and it is a shit conclusion and massively anticlimactic and I hated it at first but thinking on it this also feel very real it almost feat like all the horrible moments "So it goes" Slaughterhouse Five brings up only in a massively different viewpoint or more connected the death of Ned Stark.
"Knowing" is also pretty much a "fuck you" all around. It has a rather good build up but leads to an extremely stupid ending that makes you think they decided to smoke dope halfway through the script.
Damn ninja'd. That film was really good up until the end. It built up so much then failed to meet any of the build up
Basically anything where the ending is either a dream or aliens is a massive cop-out. Indiana jones and the crystal skull is a good example. It really was a stupid addition to an otherwise excellent trilogy. Lucas is his own worst enemy at times for adding more content that is not needed

Well it's not just "aliens", it's made even worse because it was thought out so poorly (a good "Aliens!" ending can be acceptable). What kind of idiotic alien race thinks it's a good idea to abduct children and let them build a world on their own? Surely any alien race with half a brain would also think to bring along doctors, teachers, farmers and engineers. I mean if there was a "5 years later" scene no doubt 95% of those kids would be dead.
Well, I have many "f*ck you" moments in any kind of media [movies,comics,games,etc].
However do you want to tell the awesome "f*ck you" moments or the "f*ck you" "f*ck you" moments?
I have one like that but it is more from something a show creator said than did.
When Stargate Universe first aired alot of fans were unhappy as it did not feel like Stargate and more like Battlestar Galactica. When asked about the old fanbase response Brad Wright, one of the show runners said that the show was so good it did not need the old fans, it would get new fans and that if they did not like it they should not watch it. I think that was a fair response and it would have been fine if he had just left it there.
However once ratings started to drop he said the following (direct quote)
'I don?t think if we, for any reason, go away, it is an issue necessarily of the quality of the product that we?ve been making. I think getting moved on the schedule has hurt us. And the fact that some of the fans that liked SG-1 and Atlantis were so angry that they have deliberately hurt us, which is unfortunate.'
WHAT THE FUCK! How exactly did we hurt them? By not watching? What about the millions of new fans the show was ment to get because it was so good? I suppose us old fans not only stopped watching but we went into other peoples homes and forced them to stop as well. That must be it. It could not have anything to do with the fact the show was a crap Battlestar Galactica ripoff that near nobody enjoyed.
Edit:
Also Legend of Korra. That entire show is one big fuck you to The Last Airbender.
I think the prequels ruined a lot. Darth vader was always an absolute badass until we watched the prequels and realised he was just a whiny teen.
I agree the original trilogy was very magical and it had a camp light-hearted tone. The prequels seemed to take themselves too seriously and thus lost a lot of what made the originals great
Im not getting my hopes up for episode VII. I will only be disappointed
Huh, a lot of Evangelion here. While I agree, none of that really stopped me from enjoying it. I guess because the whole series had a pretty mean spirited tone to begin with.
With that said, though, Evangelion 3.0 still sucks.
OT: The final episode to Masters of Martial Hearts.
Now, this is a terrible anime, but before the last episode it was just a really crappy, wacky action/ecchi show.
Then suddenly, out of nowhere, the last episode goes fucking dark.
The episode begins with the main character, fairly brutally, beating her final opponent to death. then one of her friend, who was the main reason she participated in the tournament in order to find her whereabouts, pops up and congratulates her. She then takes her to a warehouse where she sees that all the previous contestants she defeated has been drugged up to be sold in sex trade, which is a scene that looks like it's taken straight from a hentai. it is then reviled that the main character's best friend and her brother, as well as the friend she was trying to save, were all behind it and were in on the whole thing. They explain very coldly that it was revenge against the main girl's mother and father, who caused their family great pain, and has caused their mother to go mute. They pretty much break the main girl, shoot her in the leg, and tell her how she's a monster and deserves to suffer. Then the main girl's mother comes in and kills them, snapping their necks, and saves her. The mother then sets the warehouse on fire, presumably killing the drugged contestants and herself. The main girl escapes.
It then cuts to the mother of the betraying friend, stabbing a picture of the main girl. She then hears someone at the door, she opens it, and then her face has an expression of horror, before cutting to black (I will say, though, that was a pretty good ending shot.)
There was no hint of this ending anywhere before in the series, and the rest of the show wasn't this tone. It's one of the most mean spirited endings I've ever seen.
Also, the final episode of Pupa.
Another terrible anime, but the last episode is by far the worst finale for a series I've ever seen (worst than Evangelion, in my opinion.)
The episodes prior has one organization following them, has them escape experimentation, and one of the characters impregnating herself with the siblings's child. How does a 12 episode series, each episode only four minutes long (three if you exclude the opening and ending), plan to conclude these plot threads?
Cutesy flashback episode.
it's an episode about the brother winning a hair clip for the sister when they were very young, which she wears throughout the series.
Yeah, because that was the biggest question I had while watching it; how she got her fucking hairpin?!
The Panty and Stocking ending comes to mind too, but I liked that one, and in hindsight it was kinda hilarious, which I think was the intent.
I guess Madoka Magica: Rebellion can be another one, but I loved that one.
[spoiler/]you like Elizabeth huh? yeah I bet you really care about her...well WRENCH TO THE HEAD HAHAHAHAHAHA....but its ok! because the little sisters surved![/spoiler]
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II uses cloning as a plot-mechanic to force the series to have a direct sequel instead of letting the series be an anthology.
The ending of season 2 of Rosario + Vampire. A brief summary:
Harem following main male character: "Which one of us do you chose as your steady girlfriend?!"
Main Character: "I just can't chose a single one of you. I like you all too much to do that!"
Harem: "Hoo-raaay!"
This harem included a pair of mothers and, a girl who couldn't have been older than 12. This scene happens after the main character kicks the ass of the main female's father who it's heavily implied he'll end up with anyway.
Also, the Crimson King in Stephen King's Dark Tower series applies in the sense that
He's the closest thing to an ultimate villain and a highest-level antagonist the series comes close to having. He's talked about and there's lots of dark implications about him, but we only meet him in the last book and then... he is literally erased from existence by a character who we've never met, whose backstory (if I remember correctly) is explained in a few hasty paragraphs and who has a completely unexplained ability to basically change the universe as he sees fit.
Actually that character was introduced before the last book in the Dark Tower series.
If you read Stephen King's 'Insomnia' you'll get to find out more about the origin of Patrick Danville. I actually haven't read any of the Dark Tower books, but I've read Insomnia a few times now, and every time I do it does make me want to give that series a go.
