Alduin in Skyrim. He's hyped up as this ultra powerful, literal world eater. But in game ends up being just as strong and literally the exact same as every other lame dragon fight. Only difference is you get 3 stupid Skyrim NPCs helping you fight him as if it wasn't easy enough on your own. It's the perfect flavorless cherry on top for Slyrim's really boring and bland main story.

Even though I enjoy Bloodborne quite a lot, I am frankly not fond of most of its bosses. The Old Hunters carries its boss roster hard. The base game has only a few bosses that I outright enjoy, but most are underwhelming. None are more obnoxious than Micolash though. Not only do you have to tediously chase him about, he only has two attacks when you actually do catch him... one of which has a habit of one-hit killing me. So I get to chase him all over the place and listen to his dialogue on repeat over and over until I corner him again, only to get one-shotted again. Repeat this until my prayers are answered, and his atrocity of a boss fight comes to an end.

I think I'll have to pick the boom boom fights from Mario 3

Soulsborne freaking rules, but everyone agrees some of the bosses in the series are lame. The first time I watched a Dark Souls 2 speedrun showing Dragonrider falling off an edge and dying within a matter of seconds, I literally had to laugh in disbelief.

Very minor rewording.

Pinwheel from Dark Souls.

He's not the easiest boss out there, but compared to other bosses in that game he's just... extremely underwhelming. Low HP, poor attacks and overall incredibly easy to beat. It's the same game where we have absolutely painful bosses like Ornstein and Smough. Also it appears in section of the game that overall is tough to handle. How did that boss happen, seriously?

In Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, by the time you reach the boss Darkrai, you've received a bunch of op upgrades that make the final boss fight easier than 90% of the other boss fights in the game lolol! I'll never forget how surprised I was the first time I played through it, and the boss fight was so easy!! I will say, the story build up to that point did still make the whole thing pretty epic, but the actual fight itself is hilariously easy.

If you like pokemon at all, I do highly recommend Shadows of Almia!!! It's my favorite pokemon game of all time, super underrated, with a great story!!

Morpha in The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time.

Canonically causes multiple natural disasters, and is over both the most-infamous Dungeon and the most-popular Middle Boss.

Expectation? A Waterbender Cthulhu. Reality? …A glorified Blue Chuchu, just 1 attack, and can be cheesed in seconds.

Mmkay. Rookwood and Harlow from Hogwarts Legacy. The most easiest boss I have ever done. All you have to do is avada kedavra these motherfuckers and ‘boom’ intense death.

The champion in Pokemon X/Y. Levelling up in this game is pretty much effortless, so the entire fight is a total cakewalk. I don't even remember her name!

Edit: Her name is Diantha.

 Seymour in FF-X: I freaking hate him in the game 

[Steve Piranha 29,496]

Bowser from Mario Galaxy 2. It was so lame that it was offensive 

[Twitchy-Tremor 306]

Honestly once sonic went 3d egg man is so cheesy 

[DubWolf 18,476]

Gnasty Gnorc; you flame his butt 3 times and then he faints   .

[SkarletVoid 192]

Any Mario Boss is just bop them 3 times. And Micolash did nothing but piss me off for months

[Snoopy Fan 7,799]

Pipsqueak from Skylanders Giants, just one hit, and he’s done.

Spiderdemon in the original Doom.

It's the final boss, but I have never had even an ounce of trouble with it!  To be fair, I don't think I've ever fought it without the plasma gun, so that probably does take a bit of the heat off.

Aw, I liked the final boss in the original DOOM. DOOM (2016)'s bosses are way better though.

Agreed, especially Jacques. Even as a kid, I was just like..."Really? You just do a little platform chase and that's it?".

Most bosses in Elden Ring. I personally found Elden Ring to be incredibly disappointing, and the bosses were a big reason why. There's so many copy and paste bosses, most of whom aren't made anymore difficult in subsequent fights unless they are made into a two vs one battle, which is just cheap difficulty. The rest of the bosses, while having good design, are so overly aggressive, have unreasonable damage output, and input read so much that fighting them solo and in a more traditional Souls-like way is infuriating. The bosses were clearly design with summoning in mind, be it other players or the ashes. It kills the single player experience for me. The worst of the worst are Melania, Margit, any of the tree sentinels, and of course any multi-boss fight. I've heard the DLC only goes further with this flawed design philosophy. 

Sekiro is my personal favourite FromSoft game, despite some of its flaws, and I like most of the bosses in the game. Demon of Hatred is trash though. It is just sooooooooooo tedious.

In the extremely disappointing time I've had so far playing Final Fantasy XVI, I found the boss fight with Garuda very lame. Being locked on a circular platform where you just slash away, wait for the tornadoes to subside, then slash some more is nothing compared to what follows. In the Ifrit section...you can literally just sit there and spam the exact same fireball move to win.  A much more effective "strategy" than actually fighting. 

The action focus is not this game's only flaw, I wish.
