The Greater Good 

The pathetic reason the heroes give as to why they kill people.
"You killed my brother!"
"It was for the Greater Good."
"I was mistaken, you're completely innocent. Kill me for the Greater Good."

The Greater Good 

It's like God for atheists.
Hym "There is no greater good. If the greater good only benefited 1 person you would take the lesser good if given the choice. You have no genuine desire or capacity to calculate the greater good and if you did and the calculation lead to an outcome you didn't like you would just do whatever made you feel better about YOURSELF. And THAT is what the greater good is all about. People feeling better about themselves. You can fail and steal and lie as much as you want because the greater good means you need an exemption so that you can be the decider. That is YOU wanting to be the creature. Still just another zealot. And even if you WERE... I would still tell you to slob on a hairy kittle baby dick."

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!
