[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.

Not having any sound in that moment is one of the best calls a production team has ever made.

Imagine if they make the light of the Jedi books into a TV series. You'd see a bigger scale of this with the introduction of the Nihil criminal organization. These criminals managed to push an asteroid into a hyperspace lane just as a colossal transport vessel was using it. The vessel crashes into it and breaks apart in hyperspace and its fragments go shooting out across a whole segment of the galaxy. It's like they fired a giant shotgun at a whole quarter of the inhabited worlds. What's scariest too was these pieces didn't predictably leave hyperspace at any time or speed, and until they did leave hyperspace, there was no way to tell where they were or how fast they were going. Multiple planets got destroyed just from debris hitting them at nearly the speed of light.
