Solaris Syndrome 

When a story has fantastic worldbuilding and sparks the imagination with wonder and mystery, but then does absolutely nothing with that potential; opting instead for a spiritual woo/hand-wavy/religious nonsense ending, when it could've been so much more.
"Solaris looked like it was a great movie, and then it did nothing with all the potential they built up in the story."
"Yeah, that's Solaris Syndrome for ya."

Complexitizer 

A thing which adds to the complexity of other things, with or without clear reason for doing so.
There are two kinds of pride... The kind where you take pride in your accomplishments, and the kind where you are prideful... The first is good, the second is an endless source of trouble and life complexitizers.
