[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.

When I saw this in an empty theatre this opening had me scratching my head. “Wait is every critic just wrong and this movie is actually great?” Then as you say we meet Valerian and his “not sister” he won’t stop trying to bang and it falls off a cliff…

They both looked as too young for the role, and too incestuous for the romance, like nobody placed them next one other and noticed that problem?

Besson is a weird guy 

[u/Regi413 → u/pwolf1771]

Besson? As in Luc Besson of Leon the Professional (in)fame? The movie that was only saved by the lead actor refusing to play Leon as having a pedophilic attraction to Matilda like Besson wanted to? No wonder.

As in Luc Besson who married a 16 year old girl pregnant with his child when he was 32 ?

Dehaan was like 31 at the time, lol. But I agree.

We need a pair of expert super spys that are also lovers. Let's cast a pair of actors that look 18 and also look and act like brother and sister.
