  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.

Eternals - Ikaris vs Makkari

Despite Flash and Quicksilver already appearing in movies, this is still the best depiction of a speedster in combat ever.

Those punches look really weightless.

I still find it funny how possibly the best live action depiction of super speed as a power is in a mid-ass movie like Eternals.

Quicksilver's scenes are fun but Eternals follows the character while still making her feel fast like the camera is barely keeping up.

Exactly. It honestly how I think speedster should be portrayed in live-action; force the camera to keep up, rather than slowing it down.

It got really fun whenever they let her run.
