Dethroning Moment of Suck (Darth Wiki)/Live-Action TV: Difference between revisions

** That episode was just filled with ungodly bad writing. It got what was right and wrong entirely mixed up! [[Designated Villain|Stevie]] was supposedly wrong and "evil" for daring to rise up against the unfair Wizard Competition (along with others she'd recruited who felt the same way) so that all wizards can keep their magic powers and there'd be less broken wizard families like hers or the Russos around. [[Designated Hero|Alex]] was supposedly "doing the right thing" in [[Manipulative Bastard|using Stevie and pretending to still be her friend]] just so she can freeze her and transfer her powers back to her brother. And Justin was supposedly right in hamfistedly declaring that "Stevie is evil and is trying to overtake the entire wizard world" even though she never talked about doing anything of the sort, unless the wizard world is really shallow enough to be kept standing by one stupid competition and it's stupid rules. And Max, who actually wanted to take over the wizard world to be king and is the one who kills Stevie in the end, gets [[Karma Houdini|no punishment or acknowledgement of what he's done wrong.]] And no one cares that Stevie's dead; Alex even makes a joke out of it after Stevie shatters on her unconciouss brother! And before that, Alex flat out states that she thinks "people outside the Russos are better." Well, YEAH; this episode proves that in so many ways! This is a [[Dysfunctional Family]] of monsters! If the series had started it's downhill spiral at the start of the third season, this episode is defenitely what killed it.

** Originally, for me it was the ending of [[Wizards Vs Werewolves]]. However, the series finale is now even worse and essentially replaced the previous moment. Basically, its the same thing: It was a massive copout that bordered on Dues Ex Machina: Justin wins the wizard competition and earns the right to become a full wizard. But, he interupts the awarding of it by declaring he doesn't deserve it, because Alex stopped and came back to help him when he got stuck on a bush and helped him get out. So, he declares that she deserves it, but not him. But, so he'll have a happy ending, Professor Crumps announces he's retiring and appoints Justin his replacement, so that he can become a full wizard instead. Ok, [[Tranquil Fury|this infuriates me]]. 1) Since when did Justin ever think Alex deserves the right to be a full wizard? He's made it clear before he doesn't think she deserves magic because she always abuses it. Why? Because, she totally does! Alex is always being reclass and causing trouble with magic, to the point she comes off as a [[Designated Hero]]. But, because she saved him, he decides to change his opinion? Didn't he get really mad when others ignored all the bad she did to award her for saving the world once? 2) If they wanted to have Justin give up the power, why not just show the damn scene first instead of flashing back to it? Did they want to make it a plot twist? Well, too bad, they failed! Why didn't they just make it clear before what happened, or better yet, just let her win and give Justin another reason to be awarded the power by Crumps. 3) Why did she even have to win in the first place? Like I said, Alex is constantly abusing magic and causes all the trouble she gets into. Justin isn't [[Not So Different|always that much better]], but he's usually only such because Alex does something to set him off. Why not just let Justin win? Oh, because of her and Mason, the boyfriend she would have to break up with. But, he's an immortal werewolf who will apparently never grow up, Twilight Vampire style. She's going to get older, he's not, so eventually they'll have to break up. 4) The Crumps thing came completely out of nowhere. Why not announce at the begining he was retiring, or a few episodes ago and build up to it? This is the problem with Dues Ex Machina endings, they can easily be averted by hinting/forshadowing/building up to it. All in all, the ending was just lazily written.

** The ending of the episode where Langston and Lady Heather meet. This turns Langston's [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] from a previous episode into nothing. Previously, Langston was able to turn the 'genetically predisposed to being a psychopath' theory on its ass by revealing that genetically and historically, he's a lot like Nate Heskel: He has the same gene and he had an abusive childhood, but he's still not a serial killer. That was an awesome moment. But then, in this episode, he confesses to Lady Heather that he feels 'a monster' inside of him, and feels he needs to kill Nate. Ok, so, you give a middle finger to a previous episode's very awesome ending by making it clear that actually, he is really a serial killer waiting to happen. Great way to make it apparent that being a [[Complete Monster]] isn't by choice writers. What makes it more infuriating, was that the previous moment was what saved Langston from being my least favourite character, so not only do they remove an awesome moments credability, they remove the one thing I liked about Langston.

* The most recent episode of ''The Office'',and that's saying something after the [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|CMOH]] wrap up of Michael's departure with Deangelo being [[Flanderized]] into a [[Jerkass]] and then cruelly let off before we really know anything,then Dwight taking over only to be once again be ousted,instead of going with it for a while. Those moments were embarrassing but compared to the interviews special for the new manager that's nothing. First,it's riddled with [[Celebrity Guest Stars]] who seem out of place all vying for the new position which slowed down the usual pace,the jokes weren't funny at all especially not Warren Buffett.But then the main story of the interviews was hampered by not only too many people,but the Gabe plot tumor trying to get Erin back and make everyone miserable to do so,which leads to massive [[Character Derailment]] to manipulating Kelly which backfires and gets him [[Put on a Bus]].Then you have the "Angela's Boyfriend is gay" subplot which also took away,wasn't funny and frankly just made a huge [[Kick the Dog]] even too much for Angela.And none of it was well executed,with awkward transitions littered here and there,and why did [[Jim Carrey]] get the last line? Everything imaginable went wrong "Search Committee" and not even Creed's [[Large Ham]] could've saved it.It sucks that Deangelo got axed so quickly for this.
