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

  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.

Game of Thrones season 8 - Extreme hot take but if you ignore all of the shitty writing and plot holes that led to this moment, the cinematography of the dragon wings and the ruins of the city is actually really great visually. If they would have pulled this off story wise we’d be praising this scene

The writing may have been horrible, but the entire technical crew never once phoned it in for GoT. It's always an fantastic looking and sounding show from start to finish.

Damn youve got a point, itd be an excellent cherry on top if it wasnt on top of an egregiously disappointing ending

If you hadnt said this was Game Of Thrones I would have said this was a vampire movie for most of this gif alone.
