Ozymandias Syndrome

For when an iteration of a franchise is very good on its own, but isn't as enjoyable as it should be due to coming after a stellar iteration. Named after the third-to-last episode of Breaking Bad, Ozymandias, which is universally considered to be one of the best episodes on TV, causing the next two episodes to pale in comparison.

"I should have liked that episode more than I did. There wasn't anything wrong with it, but it just wasn't as good as last week's episode."
"Sounds to me like the episode suffers from Ozymandias Syndrome."

ozymandian

1) A work of great hubris, generally fleeting and devoid of meaning, especially a tremendous structure or public work.

2) Possessing the quality of a warning against such hubris, esp. when the warning is presented ironically.

From the poem Ozymandias by Percy Shelley.

ozymandianly
ozymandianess

1) The ozymandian islands of Dubai will surely fascinate future ethnographers of our wanton and insolent age.

2) Michaelangelo's David was ozymandianly sold on Craig's List, adumbrating the end of the seemingly invulnerable Christie's/Sotheby's nexus.
