Sometimes, no matter the quality of the work itself, it just takes the creators so much effort and heartbreak to make it that at the end of it all, they can be forgiven for wondering to themselves, "WasItReallyWorthIt"

These sort of productions tend to range from complete disasters to slightly more benign ones, but what they always have in common is [[HostilityOnTheSet frayed tempers and patience]], screw-ups, [[ScheduleSlip delays]], and [[CreatorBreakdown breakdowns]]. RealitySubtext may happen too. A PrimaDonnaDirector usually ensures that things end up disastrous (especially if he just got his AuteurLicense and his ego is on full force). Both ProtectionFromEditors and ExecutiveMeddling can exacerbate this phenomenon. [[ThePlague Plagues]] like UsefulNotes/TheSpanishFlu or the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic can also strike during an inopportune time in development, forcing the crew to set production back by weeks or even months. {{Epic Movie}}s are particularly vulnerable to this, especially if HostileWeather strikes the set. This trope always applies to small or start-up studios, due to how little experience the show runners or head businessmen have in running a new one.

->''"The enemy is a prop that doesn't work. A guest star who can't say the word "soup". Another who can't say the word "phenomenon". Writing the stage direction "''Beach in Paradise''", and finding yourself on a wet winter day in Rhyl. The enemy is reality, and reality is, unfortunately, everywhere."''
