Ruined FOREVER (Darth Wiki)/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

* [[Ruined FOREVER|This trope]] caused the [[Broken Base]] of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'': when it moved into the second half, many of the more traditional shounen fans claimed it was [[Ruined FOREVER]] because of being.... ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. The base broke even further due to ''[[End of Evangelion]]'' later, which some saw as an example of a [[Trolling Creator]].

** Fundamentally, ''[[End of Evangelion]]'' forms an alternate ending for the series, along with the updated "video & LD versions" of episodes 21 through 24. Fans do exist who would have preferred that NGE ended with its television broadcast of the original ending, some considering the updated ending to be unnecessary retcon that soils interpretation of the show.

** If the [[Rebuild of Evangelion|new Evangelion movies]] (the fan-branded "Rebuild") end up being connected ''in-universe'' to the original Evangelion series, many Eva fans will cry out "RUINED FOREVER" in a singular voice so terrible that it will knock the planet off-axis.

* At what point was ''[[Armored Trooper VOTOMS]]'' [[Ruined FOREVER]] for people looking for a hard sci-fi mecha series? Was it Roots of Ambition where Chirico survived a shot in his heart due to Perfect Survivor status? Was it The Shining Heresy where Chirico was [[Born Lucky]] enough to do a crazy ricochet fluke shot into the Order Buckler's cockpit and destroying Teitania's Auxillary Brain, Was it the newer OVAs such as Pailsen Files and Phantom Arc for Sunrise copping out on [[Conspicuous CG|dodgy computer-generated ATs]] and it basically amounting to needless padding on Chirico's backstory, Some even claim that VOTOMS wasn't very realistic to begin with when the Quent arc rolled around and [[The Reveal]] happened. for bonus points, mention the phrase "Child of God." as that aspect of Chirico's character is a sore spot with many fans.
