"Attention! There has been an outbreak of Team Rocket Disease! All villains should stay inside, least they be infected and be reduced to defeating themselves and the heroes being blissfully unaware of their existence. If you are not an idiot comedy or a throw away episode of Pokemon, we strongly suggest you avoid catching this disease."
Anti-climaxes are for steppers in anime, Team Rockets, and independent youtube shorts to increase the sales of prozac, not satisfying conclusions.
