Awesomeness Withdrawal: Difference between revisions

So you've just finished a series/book/movie/video game/whatever that was [[So Cool Its Awesome|simply amazing]]. The characters were likeable, the plot was masterfully executed, the work as a whole was just thoroughly enjoyable. So you're sitting there, admiring the skill of those who crafted such a masterpiece, revelling in the [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|powerful]] [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|emotional]] [[Crowning Moment of Funny|responses]] it evoked within you (yes, even the [[Tear Jerker|more]] [[Bittersweet Ending|negative]] [[Downer Ending|ones]] too)...and then it hits you. It's ''over.'' That's it. No more clever plot twists, no more suspense, no more drama, no more character development. Whatever it was that made you love the work, it's been used up. Sure, you could just rewatch/reread/replay/rewhatever it, but you know it just won't be quite the same as that wondrous first time through, when you're just getting to know the characters, when you're on the edge of your seat from the suspense of wondering what happens next, when everything is new and unfamiliar and unexpected. You might hope for a sequel, but even assuming one does come there's [[Sequelitis|no guarantee]] it will be able to recapture the full glory of its predecessor. Suddenly, one of the most enjoyable times of your life has slipped away from the full splendor of present experience into the realm of memory, where all things grow dull and dim over time.
