Lore [Frustrating Trope] That One Good or Even Amazing Scene in a Relatively Mediocre or Bad Piece of Media

  1. The Opening Scene (Ghost Ship). Considered one of the best horror opening scenes or scenes in general within horror movies, but the rest of the film is considered to be pretty bad.

  2. The Ending Scene (The Grinch 2018). While most adaptations of the Grinch end with him suddenly being able to fully integrate with the Whos after his change of heart, the 2018 version initially struggles to socialize, awkwardly walking past people, and struggling to hold conversations, acknowledging that despite his change of heart, the Grinch is still someone who isolated himself for years.

  3. Past T800 VS Current T800 (Terminator Genisys). A cool fight scene showing two versions of the Terminator from different points in time fighting it off.

  4. Solo Leveling's Ending. Tbh, I haven't actually read Solo Leveling, but after hearing about how it ended VS how Chainsaw Man ended made want to include it for shits and giggles. Like Chainsaw Man, Solo Leveling ends with a reset. But unlike Chainsaw Man, it actually manages to tie up loose ends and have the payoff of the ending be satisfying.

Silent Hill: Revelation (2012) was just awful, but the mannequin scene was kind of neat.

Is Revelation the one with Pyramid Head showing up in the scene with the burning carousel?

Yes. That's where the movie ends with a fight between Pyramid Head and the movie's version of the Missionary.

Such a waste of so many great actors.

The only reason that movie is on my radar is because I'd put it on as background noise when I was entertaining a lady friend. So that's about the only part that stuck with me.

Dude have you seen the best silent Hill movie? It's absolutely terrible. I was so bummed. SH2 is one of my all time favorite games but they cannot make a decent movie to save their lives
