Phantom Menace Syndrome

A delayed reaction of disappointment, potentially towards any work of art or entertainment. Having a positive appraisal of a song, or a book, or a movie or TV show (for example) that gradually decays into a negative appraisal after some casual consideration.
A common response to having high expectations that are unmet, towards an artist or intellectual property that one is subjectively fond of.

Midladder Menace 

A term, typically used by players of the mobile game ‘Clash Royale’, to describe someone who uses the most brokenly overpowered cards. Some examples are Elite Barbarians combined with the rage spell, Megaknight, Elixer Golem with battle healer, and Electro Giant. You may hear this phrase used outside of Clash Royale to describe someone who is using something that is much better than what someone else has to beat the person with the worse thing.
“This guy was running an elixer golem and battle healer deck, what a midladder menace.”

(In Forza Horizon 5 terms) We are all just trying to have fun in X-class Ariel Atoms, yet you have to be a midladder menace and use the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento.”
