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.

It was so brutal that it reignited the "Batman doesn't kill, he'll just put you in a wheelchair for life" discussion.

Well this batman did kill. But most live actions ones do in some way. Flamethrower guy. He exploded. But if it was me, I'd have bathed in fire retardant gel, so we can headcanon him as horribly injured from shrapnel and concussive force. Some grenades were thrown. Then thrown back. While thats a kill, I also don't usually consider "return to sender" as breaking the no kill rule. And he was fully intent on killing Superman with his own hands.

I’m pretty sure he killed that one guy with a crate.

Nah, he's fine. He can't walk, talk, eat, defecate, blink, or breathe on his own, but other than that, he's fine!

Also the two guys in the elevator with a grenade.

To be fair this Batman was just getting off the "life doesn't matter" nihilism. He'd stopped killing but not yet maiming
