Spectacle creep
A phenomenon occurring when the creator/creators of certain a media franchise (in games, movies, comics, etc) try to keep things fresh and interesting by unwisely making everything bigger, better and more spectacular. This can lead to the feeling that everything up to that point didn't really have a point or that everything after this point is pointless since it's just so ridiculously over the top.

A term first coined by "The Escapist's" resident Australian game critic Yahtzee, to describe a genre of fighter in which a game's focus is on the visual beauty of fighting enemies as opposed to actual realism or other aspects of game play.
All you ever do in Mad World is kill people extravagantly for points - it's totally a Spectacle Fighter.

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!
