For when an iteration of a franchise is very good on its own, but isn't as enjoyable as it should be due to coming after a stellar iteration. Named after the third-to-last episode of Breaking Bad, Ozymandias, which is universally considered to be one of the best episodes on TV, causing the next two episodes to pale in comparison.
"I should have liked that episode more than I did. There wasn't anything wrong with it, but it just wasn't as good as last week's episode."
"Sounds to me like the episode suffers from Ozymandias Syndrome."

When you announce a highly anticipated product or piece of work, as well as reveal that it's nearly finished and close to releasing. Tends to make fans of the work get close to release as well. Named for Bethesda's video game Fallout 4, which was revealed in a nearly finished state during E3 2015.
"Dude! insert game or movie here was just announced! It's coming out in two months!"
"Oh snap, way to pull a Fallout 4 on us!"
