Grand Finale: Difference between revisions

* The [[Animated Adaptation]] of ''[[Jumanji (animation)|Jumanji]]'' had a finale, at a time when such was extremely rare for kids' shows. Unfortunately, it's a [[Clip Show]] in which we sit through boring [[Stock Footage]] until we finally {{spoiler|see Alan's first trip into Jumanji, including the clue that he never got to see. Once they solve it, the three leave the World of Jumanji for good. As Peter says at the end: "Game over."}}

* The American animated series based on ''[[Street Fighter (animation)|Street Fighter]]'' had a definite ending. The last story arc of Cammy being brainwashed by M. Bison ended after Cammy came to her senses and freed her comrades, culminating in a final battle between Guile and Bison (Guile was made the main character of the cartoon instead of Ryu, the franchise's usual lead character). Guile finished Bison off once and for all by, bizarrely, blasting him into a computer, at which point his powers cause it to overload and the wires and insides of it seemingly begin to ''eat him alive'', before the computer then explodes. There is then the obligatory walking into the sunset of the five characters present, although there is no get-together with all the other characters or any other sense of closure. All that is known is that Bison, their eternal enemy, is definitely dead once and for all.

* Surprisingly, ''[[Camp Lazlo]]'' ends with one of these. As appropriate to the tone and style of the series, it's not so much flashy as spectacularly weirder than anything that's happened previously -- and this is a series where an entire episode revolves around one character getting stuck up another's nose. It still qualifies as definitively and permanently changing the core axioms on which the show depends, though.

** Not to mention the fact that Scoutmaster Lumpus {{spoiler|turned out to NOT be the camp's scoutmaster}}. Samson, the [[Butt Monkey]] of the series said it best: "I think it just got to the point where things can't possibly get any weirder."
