Commutative Property of the Peter Parker Principle 

Peter Parker Principle: With great power comes great responsibility.

Commutative Property of the Peter Parker Principle: With great responsibility comes great power.
Totalitarian States often fail because of the Commutative Property of the Peter Parker Principle.

As the responsibilities of the State inevitably increase, so too must its centralization of powers. Since power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, it is inevitable for a Totalitarian State to eventually become an Authoritarian one. Under this same principle, it is inevitable for an Authoritarian State to eventually become a Tyrannical one. A Tyrannical State intrinsically produces dissidents, whom fight the State until death or dissolution.

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!
