Where has the plot gone??

[u/Supersaiajinblue2]

[u/xXTeenStarXx]

supernatural.

[u/baobab_bob → u/xXTeenStarXx]

Came here to say this. Agreed

[u/Hebrew_Hammer24 → u/baobab_bob]

Same literally went from just day-to-day normal things that normal hunters go after like run of the mill monsters to getting a little intense cause they now are fighting actual demons…to the ending of literally fighting God.

Like not just any “God” because they also fought other Gods as well. No, I mean the literal creator God. Not to mention taking out most of the literal biblical creatures that are written to be part of revelation, ie. Death incarnate, the other 3 horsemen, God‘s sister which is the primordial darkness and the antithesis of Gods light itself, The archangels, Satan, the biblical Leviathans, taking on the mother of all monsters, including all the primogenitor of each monster species, a.k.a. the alphas, and so on. Like past season five it goes to 0 to 100 pretty quickly. Then out of nowhere past season 9 it turns that dial up to 1000.

At a certain point near the end past season 9 or 10; they’re also trying to raise the literal fully grown but still childlike antichrist and turn him from his predetermined path of being said antichrist to the pseudo second coming of Christ and the literal replacement and successor to God.

[u/Vryk0lakas → u/Hebrew_Hammer24]

I can’t decide if I should rewatch this or not. I watched like 10 years ago and ended somewhere around a special revolver.

[u/Lockmasock → u/Vryk0lakas]

Oh god you’re barely even started on the journey

[u/kismaiyes → u/Vryk0lakas]

Just stop it at the end of season 5 and a small part of the ending to be just a hallucination.

[u/Hebrew_Hammer24 → u/kismaiyes]

Fucken hated the ending. Should’ve stopped it at the second to last episode. The actual last episode ruined it. So stupid. Just for anyone who wants to watch it. It’s honestly a 8-9/10 show. It does have its ups and downs and filler episodes in each season. Some plot holes and forgotten plot elements. But overall it’s one hell of a binge watching ride. Just for the sake of yourselves only watch to the second to last episode of season 15. Do not watch the actual last episode. It is really a let down and a stupid way to go. Ruins the atmosphere. Won’t talk about it anymore cause of spoilers.

(I know it’s been years but it’s the type of show anyone can get into at any time and still get spoiled).

[u/thegoten455 → u/Vryk0lakas]

It's pretty cool, but don't try to power scale anything.

[u/Skabonious → u/xXTeenStarXx]

And yet it ends with them getting in a fist fight with god

[u/GayPudding → u/Skabonious]

If you like shows about punching god in the face watch Preacher.

[u/Sparkando → u/GayPudding]

The ending of preacher was something else, the first seasons were awesome and then it went a pathway I did not expect

[u/GayPudding → u/Sparkando]

I never expected the show to actually tie everything together in the end, I did not think that was possible.

[u/Sparkando → u/GayPudding]

It felt a little rushed but the show is very enjoyable otherwise, might give it a rewatch someday

[u/GayPudding → u/Sparkando]

Amazon did cut their timeline down unexpectedly, so they had to rush. That's why I was so surprised.

[u/DukeLukeivi → u/xXTeenStarXx]

That series needs a FMA Brotherhood type reboot -- it going on for 20 seasons after derailing the apocalypse in season 6 had their jumped sharks jumping sharks.

[u/AfricanAmericanMage → u/DukeLukeivi]

My girlfriend's son has started watching it recently. I've never seen it and he was on season 6 and I was just asking him questions about what was going on and he said they were stopping the apocalypse and all I could think was that I knew this show had, like, 10 more seasons after that and was wondering how in the world they could keep upping the stakes after stopping the literal end of the world.

[u/DukeLukeivi → u/AfricanAmericanMage]

The season outro is a prophet of God doing an epilogue about how hard endings are, and all the loose ends and things...

They took an editorial sign off there, and then just kept going as long as they got renewed.

A Supernatural Brotherhood reboot would be goated, I swear.

[u/TaftYouOldDog → u/xXTeenStarXx]

At least it's thematically similar

[u/onefurme → u/xXTeenStarXx]

Remember the time they gave God a sister and the season ended when they turned into white and black good and flew into space?

[u/CthulhuMadness → u/xXTeenStarXx]

Baki

[u/AkihiroAwa → u/xXTeenStarXx]

still somehow its my favourite show

[u/Ok-Ad4916 → u/xXTeenStarXx]

Literally rewatching rn and came to look for this!

[u/kawaiinessa → u/xXTeenStarXx]

loved that show but it was a bit tiring that every monster was just human with fangs/claws

[u/Phyrexian_Overlord]

Obvious answer would be dragonball

[u/DaEnderAssassin → u/Phyrexian_Overlord]

Yep. Especially given its second arc ended in a fighting tournament and eventually Super ended up fighting literal gods.

[u/poggy_manz → u/DaEnderAssassin]

In a tournament

[u/SnarkFucker → u/Phyrexian_Overlord]

When a core concept of a series is power levels, it needs to go to insane places to keep raising the stakes.

[u/OneSidedPolygon → u/SnarkFucker]

power levels are a midpoint thing. Incidentally it's also when the shark skatepark of tever more powerful villains kicks in. Befoe King Piccolo the escalating factor was skill.

[u/hotcheetosnmodelos → u/Phyrexian_Overlord]

More like Naruto where there's literal giants fighting at the end

[u/Phyrexian_Overlord → u/hotcheetosnmodelos]

DB has a multi vs giant fight at the end of the first arc.

[u/hotcheetosnmodelos → u/Phyrexian_Overlord]

The post implies late in the series, which is why I said that

[u/SoVeryTroublesome]

The Fast and The Furious

[u/Notbbupdate → u/SoVeryTroublesome]

The funny part is that they never abandon the car aspect. They stop a nuclear submarine, using cars. They go to space, using cars. They skydive, using cars

The writers are willing to change everything about the franchise, except for the fact that it's the car movie

[u/OleBoyBuckets → u/Notbbupdate]

Last movie even had a whole rocket league type scene lmfao

[u/PlayedKey → u/SoVeryTroublesome]

but it's FOR FAMILY

[u/Thundergod250 → u/SoVeryTroublesome]

This Franchise went Outer Space more than Mission Impossible

[u/Release-the-List → u/SoVeryTroublesome]

Those DVD players ain’t gonna steal themselves.

[u/daidoji70 → u/Release-the-List]

Combo TV/DVD players thank you very much.

[u/Iron_Baron → u/daidoji70]

Cutting edge tech.

[u/IAmAPirrrrate → u/SoVeryTroublesome]

perfect movieseries to watch at double or quadruple speed as one massive binge - also the transformers movies work well with this

[u/Jesco13 → u/SoVeryTroublesome]

Just like pro wrestling it's just redneck anime.

[u/noideawhatoput2]

The 100 fits this perfectly. The last couple seasons are completely outrageous

[u/MindOfAMurderer → u/noideawhatoput2]

Indeed, quite remarkable how every season got crazier than the one before it.

I should make work of reading the books at some point.

[u/raumeat → u/MindOfAMurderer]

The book has nothing to do with the series, they just use the same basic premise and character names

[u/MindOfAMurderer → u/raumeat]

Thanks for the heads up, i'll try to remember it.

[u/Shootyy → u/MindOfAMurderer]

That being said I do think the books are worth checking out personally. Different story but still enjoyable

[u/iFunny_Migrant → u/MindOfAMurderer]

TIL there are books

[u/SryMyBadM8 → u/noideawhatoput2]

Gosh yeah, I loved watching the 100 but damn later on the plot points gets so ridiculous lmao

[u/Swaglord2906 → u/noideawhatoput2]

Oop I commented the same thing before seeing this and yeah they should have ended right after Monte’s death cause that would have been such a satisfying ending

[u/Rexo7274]

Naruto

[u/Supersaiajinblue2 → u/Rexo7274]

From using stealth tactics to fighting the literal goddess of fucking ninjutsu.

[u/Gonedric → u/Supersaiajinblue2]

Which is actually an alien from an alien family that will come back to fight the main casts offspring

[u/Supersaiajinblue2 → u/Gonedric]

Fuck Boruto. Why the fuck is Sasuke fighting a fucking velociraptor? I thought that mf was Blue from Jurrasic World.

[u/SimonTheJack → u/Supersaiajinblue2]

Remember Zabuza and Haku? On rewatch, That fight feels like it’s from a whole different show after seeing everything later on. Also the way we wildly boosted everyone later makes Zabuza look like a grunt in retrospect lol. Dude’s a full grown adult in his prime and is like half a Kisame. Also the way weaving signs could take like a full minute of different shapes before casting basic jutsu even for high level shinobi early on makes everyone later feel like some kind of demigod prodigy that can grab two fingers and spawn a house, three intelligent dogs, and a small moon on the battlefield.

[u/coolios14 → u/Supersaiajinblue2]

Yeah there's gotta be a fine line when it comes to ninjas being subtle and sneaky somewhere between using spiritual energy to cover your tracks, to fighting using giant eye power or wooden gundam mechs

[u/CleverInnuendo → u/Supersaiajinblue2]

From 100 hand signs making a derpy 10 foot tall water dragon to just doing whatever with a hand gesture.

[u/thomasrat1 → u/Rexo7274]

From dodging kunai knives, to dodging the freaking moon

[u/Relative-Country-452 → u/Rexo7274]

The wildest thing is that before the final arc, Naruto was still kinda grounded…

The final arc really fucked the power level

[u/zzzorin → u/Rexo7274]

was looking for this comment

[u/TimerPoint]

This is exactly how The God Of High School is.

[u/prieston → u/TimerPoint]

I knew someone would mention it in comments.

[u/Xenolifer → u/TimerPoint]

Which is totally normal since it's 100% a new edition of the adventure to the west with sun wukong which is literally the same picture as this meme

[u/TimerPoint → u/Xenolifer]

Started as a Material Arts competition and ends with Sun Wukong fighting gods in space.

[u/qamarayn → u/TimerPoint]

Yesss i was trying to remember the name, it shifted so quickly too after the first arc ended

[u/Repulsive_Bite_7705 → u/TimerPoint]

LMFAO, literally the exact plot as the image

[u/LiteraCanna → u/TimerPoint]

Just binged this a couple weekends ago. First night I fell asleep and when I woke up, I thought it had changed to a different anime altogether.

[u/TimerPoint → u/LiteraCanna]

I recommend reading the Manhwa/Webcomic. It gets stupidly over the top in a entertaining way. The problem with the anime was that they tried so hard squeezing in 100 chapters that they cut a lot of stuff.

[u/nxcrosis → u/TimerPoint]

It escalated way too fast. But the fight scenes were so beautifully animated.

[u/Brotherman_Karhu]

Red vs Blue is literally just this.

[u/Blales → u/Brotherman_Karhu]

You ever wonder why we're here?

[u/AFallingWall → u/Blales]

It's one of life's great mysteries isn't it? Why are we here? I mean, are we the product of some cosmic coincidence, or is there really a God watching everything? You know, with a plan for us and stuff. I don't know, man, but it keeps me up at night.

[u/mouse_8b → u/AFallingWall]

... What?

[u/prime014 → u/mouse_8b]

I mean why are we here?

[u/Shot_Step_3299 → u/prime014]

oh uh... yeah..

[u/atti-_- → u/Brotherman_Karhu]

But would absolutely NOT be this show without it.

[u/ConfectionTotal8660]

[u/Long__Jump]

Gurren Lagann

[u/franoetico → u/Long__Jump]

THIS is the only valid answer. Nothing scales like this show.

[u/mrdreka → u/Long__Jump]

But that show starts by showing people getting ready to fight using a gigantic mecha in space, so that doesn’t fit the meme

[u/SmokingTanuki → u/mrdreka]

C'mon, Gurren-Lagann is something like 10m tall in the beginning and the show ends with mechas throwing galaxies as throwing stars. Propotionally the scaling is even bigger than the OP's post.

[u/AfricanAmericanMage → u/mrdreka]

Yea that show went off the rails immediately. Right from the very beginning it was honest about what it was and what it was trying to do.

Side note: For anyone who hasn't watched Gurren Lagann please do. As someone who really does not enjoy mecha anime, in general, it is one of my favorite animes of all time, full stop.

[u/iscarfacemann]

Naruto. From ninjas to aliens

[u/Forgetheriver → u/iscarfacemann]

Hold up what

[u/cpMetis → u/Forgetheriver]

The power ramp up at the tail end of the Naruto and Shippuden is absurd. Then they reveal it's all because alien (the whole story has lots of references to traditional Japanese stories, and they decided to end with the woman from the moon and for some reason decided this meant it all started with an alien).

It's mostly ignorable in Naruto since it only matters for one character and you can kinda just pretend she's like a foreigner or something and nothing really changes.

But then... Boruto.

It's like the entire plot of Boruto. Like there are dozens of these aliens and they're all OP and their drama is now our drama.

[u/R1kjames → u/Forgetheriver]

He said the main antagonist of Naruto is aliens

[u/Myrmotte]

Fast & Furious

[u/Supersaiajinblue2 → u/Myrmotte]

From racing cars to destroying satellites in space

[u/TaftYouOldDog → u/Supersaiajinblue2]

With cars!

Destroying satellites in space with cars!

[u/MetapodCreates → u/TaftYouOldDog]

And Family.

[u/gridlock1024 → u/Myrmotte]

What do you mean? That series has always been about one thing......family

[u/LordCommanderWiggles]

Adventure Time is kinda like this. But the whole thing was executed so damn well that it doesn’t feel like bullshit

[u/WorldEaterYoshi → u/LordCommanderWiggles]

Eh, in terms of tone definitely but Adventure Time always had a deeper lore beneath the surface. I mean the Lych is the first boss and he continues to be a pain in the ass up to the very end.

[u/gamerfacederp → u/WorldEaterYoshi]

And even after was still a nusiance in season 1 of fiona and cake

[u/rip_tree_lurkin → u/WorldEaterYoshi]

I was watching adventure time when on LSD and it lined up so weird with the episodes we watched. First "hall of egress" which felt like a 12 hour timeloop, then the episode with the Lich where he goes "SLEEEEEEEP", and that was terrifying on a whole new level.

Just wanted some good vibes and happy colors :/

[u/G3N3R1C2532]

JoJo.

Part 1 is just vampire stuff in a Victorian setting, and now we probably have stands that can bend reality with their farts.

[u/AntiSombrero → u/G3N3R1C2532]

Lol them just giving up on hamon altogether after that arc was hilarious. Like, "no, we're doing stands now"

[u/_Aj_ → u/AntiSombrero]

Cool secret martial arts based on special breathing control? Okay.  

Nup fuck that your soul is a Bukugan that fights other people's Bukugan souls. 

And now its basically Beyblade, except marbles. And they've gone full flanderisation with the art style and themes. 

[u/MrSir98]

When my dad watched Dragon Ball it was about an extraterrestrial strong kid looking for some magical balls.
When I started watching Dragon Ball it was about a man with angelic powers fighting 11 other universes to stop his own universe from being erased by literally gods of destruction in another realm outside of this universe.

[u/ShadowForPresident → u/MrSir98]

Oh shit…..when you put it this way, from Dragonball to Dragonball Super sounds nuts🤣

[u/Supersaiajinblue2]

How has no one said Riverdale?

[u/MrTurkeyTime → u/Supersaiajinblue2]

Because it's terrible

[u/Night3njoyer]

In the first Iron Man movie, he was fighting terrorists, and in his last appearance, he was fighting an alien warmonger that travel thow time to get 6 magic stones so he could recreate the universe.

Guy went from dodging rockets and gunfire to dodging a moon.

[u/Apprehensive-Sea7120]

Arrow

[u/Quantum_Quokkas → u/Apprehensive-Sea7120]

I think this is the perfect answer.

From taking on street thugs to gaining omnipotence to defeat a God-like cosmic entity from the anti matter universe.

[u/bwk66 → u/Quantum_Quokkas]

Never finished it… wut

[u/ArrakeenSun]

You have to look at the whole series, but Doctor Who went from fun little sci-fi flavored mysteries in its original run to everything from 2005 onwards upping the ante on saving the Earth, Universe, Multiverse, Time Itself, The Doctor turning out to be the most important being ever... it's ludicrous and exhausting now

[u/Ghostbreak4]

Arcane, from stealing shit to fighting a god-like figure

[u/Fallen_Liberator → u/Ghostbreak4]

Well it is League of Legends. Wilder stuff has happened in that universe

[u/d0pe-asaurus → u/Fallen_Liberator]

Unlike Gurenn Fucking Lagann and (shudders) Darling in the Franxx which also fought a space god in Season 2, completely out of nowhere.

At least Arcane can fall back on the pre established lore of runeterra lol

[u/Experiunce → u/d0pe-asaurus]

I had a guy tell me I didn’t appreciate darling in the franxx because I didn’t understand its symbolism. it took everything I had not to have an aneurysm

[u/Ry_Sy → u/Fallen_Liberator]

Which is why it should've stayed as a more lowkey story. There's already so many world ending threats in League of Legends, they didn't need to add another. Piltover/Zaun is exactly the region that should be more grounded and personal.

Also, it's their first animated show and I'm pretty sure they plan on making more. Starting off with a world ending threat makes it hard to build up to something bigger.

[u/Ghostbreak4 → u/Fallen_Liberator]

Agree, then again, it went wild just because they didn't focus on one narrative, and if they did, it wouldn't be what Arcane is today

[u/Mirikado → u/Ghostbreak4]

Name of the show is literally Arcane… of course that’s what it ended up being about. It’s almost like everyone was saying “Don’t fuck with magic or bad stuff happens” since ep 1.

[u/Ben_Dover70]

Castlevania

[u/raulpe → u/Ben_Dover70]

Idk, in the main games it kinda goes to less ??? I mean, i think the only thing 100% confirmed to be stronger than full power Dracula was Chaos in Aria of Sorrow ?

[u/Zaconil → u/raulpe]

Even kinda the series on Netflix. The fight with Dracula then fighting death itself. Nocturne dialing it way down. Wasn't really impressed by the antagonist.

[u/raulpe → u/Zaconil]

To be fair in like 90% of the games Death is actually WEAKER than Dracula (or whatever other main antagonist) and you fight it before him, and it has been that way since the first games
