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."

A (mostly eradicated) disease where an adult-oriented film/franchise is heavily reworked for children, or at least for a family-friendly audience due to its toyetic potential. Murphy's Syndrome was most prevalent from the 70s to the 90s, with specific examples including Rambo, The Toxic Avenger, The Mask, and Alien. It's a syndrome because nobody fucking knows why some stuffed shirts thought such a practice would be a good idea.
The name derives from the real name of RoboCop, Alex Murphy, one of the most well-known victims of the disease, having two shitty cartoons, a bland live-action show that only lasted one season, and two PG-13 rated films that nobody likes.

My cousin Chris grew up with RoboCop: Alpha Commando, not realizing that it was the result of Murphy's Syndrome.

Hoping that fame, greatness and success will magically occur without the inconvenience of hard work and dedication. This is a deep mental instability that occurs in many young people these days.
A typical conversation between two individuals with a deep rooted kardashian syndrome.
Eric: What are your plans for the future?
Tom: I don't know, I'll just sit on my ass all day and do nothing, hoping that the universe will magically give me everything I want without doing anything.
Eric: Sweet! I Don't have any goals or aspirations for the future either!
*high fives*

A strange phenomenon experienced by several games from 2017-present where the original game is surpassed in popularity by a battle royale spin-off or gamemode occurring in the same game or universe. The name 'Save the World Syndrome' comes from Fortnite: Save the World, a PvE shooter created by Epic Games. The developers introduced a new mode called 'Battle Royale' which quickly replaced the core game.
