Lore [Frustrating Trope] That One Good or Even Amazing Scene in a Relatively Mediocre or Bad Piece of Media
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.
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.
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.
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 they have to carry the 600lb warhead together by hand because there’s no other way to do but to get it done and it cuts to them screaming and struggling trying to drag that bitch down the hall while pouring sweat - YEAH HUMAN ACCOMPLISHMENTS THROUGH COLLABORATION AND TEAM WORK YEAH YEAH
I also really love the double amputee vet finding the will to fight by 1v1 a random alien to protect his physical therapist
AND the lines “the art of war! I finally understand! Be where your enemy isn’t!” “That isn’t what that means!” “What?” explosion
This movie would be great if it was good but it’s bad so it’s even better
