Altair Syndrome 

A term given to any character in a video game who inexplicably dies by simply touching the water despite them being able to accomplish many other amazing feats.

The name is taken from the character Altair in Assassin's Creed who, despite being a trained assassin who can leap from 50 foot towers into hay and survive, cannot swim and dies from going to deep into the water.

Often used as a cheap way to stop players accessing certain areas by game developers, similar to the invisible wall.
John Marston (Red Dead Redemption) - Brilliant with a gun, managed to take on entire gangs and the Mexican army by himself, cannot swim and dies in waist deep water - Altair syndrome

Eddie Riggs (Brutal Legend) - Guitar playing, axe wielding, half demon roadie who lead an army to defeat an demon emperor of a heavy metal based land. Similar problem to John Marston - Altair Syndrome

Batman (Arkham City) - He's batman, do I even need to explain this - Altair syndrome

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
