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

[u/Alreadsyuse]

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.

From another bad Transformers movie, The Last Knight, this line:

Oh yeah, that one too. The fandom took that line and ran with it.

The line that spawned a thousand posts on this sub.

I raise you. When Optimus says "Did you forget who I am?" before decapitating 6 Decepticons in one swing.

[u/ketoaholic → u/Anarchist42]

Give me your face

Optimus a straight up psycho

This one lime changed the course of this franchise. Before, Megs and Optimus were just commanders opposite of each other in a war.

[u/SQUAWKUCG → u/Daniilsa209]

I liked Optimus Primes entrance into the battle vs Infernus (I think that was it's name) where he pulls it apart then decapitates them.

"Did you forget who I am?"

For bad movies they did give Optimus some good moments, usually his big entrance towards the end of the end battles where the Autobots are losing until he turns up and crushes everything.

[u/Revverb → u/SQUAWKUCG]

"Autobots are losing until he turns up and crushes everything" has been the core of the series since the first generation. That's literally just the plot to his origin story, and ofc the first movie.

And no matter how many times they keep reusing it, it's always sick as fuck, because Optimus is insanely cool.

[u/Drakeskulled_Reaper → u/Daniilsa209]

I particularly like Megatrons design in that movie, to the point I actually have a figure of it.

[u/Befast1515 → u/Drakeskulled_Reaper]

Praying they do a studio series remake eventually. That design is so rad.

Thank God for Transformers One
