You feel like you've been given the first three chapters of a story, a story that you really would have liked to see to its conclusion, but either a) it's on a whole different set of rails now, or b) while you ''do'' see it to its conclusion, it ignores the intriguing possibilities you'd hoped to see. Note that this does not include a plot/idea you like not being a well-written story/well-made game/etc.
Compare [[Aborted Arc]] and [[Worse Than It Sounds (Darth Wiki)|Worse Than It Sounds]]. Not to be confused with [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]], where the thing you would have liked to see ''did'' happen but they never actually showed it. Often results in [[Alternate Continuity]] [[Fanfic Fuel]]. For this trope applying solely to characters ''in'' the plot, see [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character]].
