Hello everyone, and welcome back to Best of the Trope!
Here are the rules. Each day, I will post a trope from TV Tropes, and each poster can name up to three examples of that trope. Whichever nomination gets the most mentions wins! Posters may also name as many Honourable Mentions as they like, but they are purely optional and will not count towards the running score. You may look at the TV Tropes page for that day's trope for examples, but you do not have to pick all your examples from the page. You can nominate whatever examples you like, as long as they qualify for the trope. Each trope will last around 24 hours before the next one goes up. In the event of a tie between 4 or more nominations, a tiebreaker poll will be run the next day to determine a winner. Posters may also nominate any tropes they wish to see come up during the series. This is optional, and you don't have to do it every day, or at all. Tropes will be randomly selected from the list each day, except for some occasions where I will pick a thematically appropriate trope that may or may not be on the list. Here's the list of previous tropes, so if you wish to nominate some tropes, check on here that it wasn't previously done. http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Best_of_the_Trope Trope list: Grand Finale ...

Today's trope is Torch the Franchise and Run. Here is the link: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TorchTheFranchiseAndRun
A writer has created a franchise, but they don't own the legal rights to what will happen to the franchise; the publisher, network, studio, or whatever does. Or maybe they share the rights with someone else and just don't have as much control as they would like. They want to stop writing it and move on to something else. But they don't want anyone else being able to handle their property, even though they don't legally own it. And even if they did own the franchise, what happens when their kids get their hands on the franchise after their inevitable death? The solution? Torch the franchise and run. Write one last story that totally wrecks everything. They kill off everyone they possibly can. They make the lives of all of the characters a living hell before executing them. They make 100% sure that everyone is dead, and those that aren't have no way of returning to the status quo or main premise of the show. However, the author can also achieve this in the form of an unambiguous happy ending where the villains are defeated for good and the conflict is resolved in such a way that everyone lives Happily Ever After. Essentially the authorial version of breaking your own toys so that nobody else can play with them. TL,DR: The creators try to end the series in such a way that it's very difficult, if not impossible, for anyone else to continue it. Nominations: The cast goes over the top (Blackadder Goes Forth) Pepe's creator kills him off (Pepe) Honorable Mention: Aliens (Crash Team Racing) - I'm not sure why Naughty Dog thought adding an alien was going too far in a series that already had time travel, genetically evolved animals and sentient enchanted voodoo masks. ...
