The moment when a Video game boss fight doesnt line up with the lore presented about them in the game for example said boss being said to have powers they do not possess when you fight them. Name derives from the monster Fatalis (Fay-tah-liss) from the video game series monster hunter which lorewise is described as the god of monsters, able to destroy entire kingdoms in a matter of hours while in reality being a bland generic fight that doesnt communicate the pieces of lore well. This description can also be used to describe a bbeg from a tabletop role playing game like dungeons and dragons that exhibits similar characteristics.
me- "The DM is really fatalising with the latest bbeg hes not even using the characters necromancy"
friend: "yeah I noticed that"
me- "I wish game developers would stop fatalising and give us boss fights that lived up to the lore"

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!
