Fan-Disliked Explanation: Difference between revisions

It should be noted that one factor in whether fans expect a mystery to be resolved or not is how prominent and important it was made originally. ''[[Lost]]'' made such a huge deal about the mystery of "the numbers" that expectations for the solution were raised to an incredible pitch. In the case of [[Sherlock Holmes]]' backstory, though, it is made abundantly clear that it's irrelevant and that no clarification is to be expected.

 

 

It's just like how everybody wants their [[Shipping|Ship]] to go through, but when it does, the result is [[Shipping Bed Death]].

Whether a show is better served by answering all, some, or none of the questions it raises varies by viewer. It's worth noting that this trope doesn't just focus on answers that are unsatisfying, but situations where an unanswered question actually ''helped'' the narrative. As you can expect, this is therefore a [[Subjective Trope]].
