The term ''danglers'' is a common term derived from the fact that the plot-lines are metaphorically left to "dangle" or "hang". A ''dangler'', or ''dangling plotline'', is a [[plot device]] in fiction where a [[plotline]] is forgotten, phased out and eventually dropped, thus a resolution is never achieved. Although dangling plot-lines can occur in all forms of media, they typically appear in comic books, movies and book sequels, where the original writer or creative team can be replaced.
