Not to mention the invention of elves, orcs, and dwarves as we know it.

And then AMC started doing it TV shows too. They already have it easy with a 14 episode season, but now they're splitting up the last season into 7 episode seasons over 2 years.
Really pissed me off when I got to season 7 of Mad Men on Netflix only to realize that they only had the "first half" of season 7.

Harry Potter in general. Every goddamn five-volume young adult series to come after it and get adapted into a movie series.

The original Call of Duty. United Offensive was a fucking masterpiece. When the series stopped having the main games be PC exclusive it started to go downhill. After Modern Warfare people started copying the formula. By MW2 the bad design choicesa were cemented and the series was finished. Terrible ADS shooters have ruled the market ever since and FPS games as a whole never recovered.
There is a very small chance the new UT could bring back arena shooters but I highly doubt it.
a - No dedicated servers, auto-aim in multiplayer, focus on individual achievement and not teamwork, "first to aim is first to kill", tiny levels, questionable spawn system, forcing the pseudo-console war battles between Battlefield and Call of Duty fans, hitscan weapons with no bullet drop...
