Verb: When a sequel kills off key characters or undoes important plot elements from the previous movie/story in an anti-climatic, unceremonious, or illogical way. Usually results in the previous movie/story feeling hollow or less satisfying because the audience knows that their adventure will ultimately be undone in the next installment.
The term originates from the beginning of Alien 3, where it is revealed that Newt, Hicks, and Bishop all died in a crash landing on Fury 161. Fans considered this to be insulting to the climax of the previous movie, in which the characters' survival was the only goal.
