One of the problems with many comic books and TV shows (and accordingly, TV shows sourced from comic books) is that they're written without an end point in mind, so they just go on and on and on and on, and the stakes are raised higher and higher, and every time the characters get some happiness it gets taken away in three chapters/episodes because Happiness Is Boring.
I like a lot of comics, but the endless fucking grind of it all wears thin quite quickly.

I always liked that personally.

For me, not everything needs to be a complete, coherent, unitary whole. It's OK to have stories that go on and on, that you dip in and out of, that you stop or start watching.

I don't mind episodic works at all! Actually, I love them! 'Monster of the week' style cartoons, procedural crime dramas, a lot of sitcoms - stand alone episodes are my jam.
Something like Supernatural, though, where the writers killed Satan, brought in Satan's Totally Eviler Brother Steve, killed *him*, brought back Satan, beat Satan, and at this point is it actually possible to give the slightest of shits about what The Actual Devil and Prince of Lies is doing? Really?

IDK, why not?

I hate when writers think the stakes have to constantly be raised. Coming across more problems is natural, having to solve different problems is great. But then there's the same problem, but BIGGER, or the same enemy, but BADDER, and it just feels like I'm getting the same story for more suffering for no reason. It also feels awful because I'm emotionally invested in these characters and it feels like they're telling me there's no possibility for them to be happy, and then what is the point?

AYRT - Yeah, absolutely. I stopped reading Saga because I liked the characters and was sick of watching their already shitty situation just get worse and worse. It was just exhausting!
