What are the most predictable "plot twists" you've seen in film/tv?

that they were dead the whole time on LOST

>>213315784 (OP)
you didn't see this coming
>>213316408
barely a twist

>>213316843
it was extremely obvious.

>>213317059
no it wasn't

>>213317212

I'm retarded when it comes to plot twists and this one I easily figured out.

>>213316408
They weren't though.

i don't watch pleb television. what was the twist?

>>213317378
he's gay

>>213317378
He was raped as a shota by the pedophile Christian Slater

I think if you watched the Sixth Sense, this one is extremely obvious. At least I saw it coming less than 20 minutes into the film.

>>213315784 (OP)
All the twists in picrel especially one involves make-up and every movie by that director.
De Palma's Hitchcockian films.
Incendies
Goodnight Mommy
Fracture
Westworld s01 and Mr Robot s01, only watched the first season for both.

>>213317378
The whole series was told from the viewpoint of a very unreliable narrator. In this particular picture you see that he's been in jail the whole season and not living back with his mother which the previous episodes had shown.

>>213316408
they were supposed to be on a space ship btw originally lost was gonna be scifi which is why the smoke monster has machine noises and doesn't fit with the rest of the stupid spiritual/MAGNETS stuff. would've been a lot more interesting

>>213315784 (OP)
This show went to shit after the girl gave birth

>>213316843
>you didn't see this coming
everyone was predicting it before the reveal

>>213315784 (OP)
>the main character you've been following this whole time?
>oh yeah he was just a schizo figment of the real main character's imagination to cope with being raped
>ok show's over now, byeeeee
what did they mean by this?

>>213316408
People were saying this from season one and all the writers and actors had to lie to our fucking face for five plus years.

Me and my woman just watched pic related. She called it five minutes in. I was kinda pissed to be honest but it was a solid movie over all.

>>213315784 (OP)
edward james olmos was dead all along

>>213315784 (OP)
No one i showed Mr. Robot to saw it coming, even then it's a really good and justifiable one.
>>213317608
It was like one singular reddit post, it was one theory out of many.
>>213317688
Did you miss the part that all of it was real, ipso facto Mastermind AND Mr. Robot are very much still Elliot?

>>213315784 (OP)
Does Barbarian count? It's so unsubtle that it hardly counts as a twist, but apparently some people were actually surprised by the former house owner being a serial killer/rapist. As soon as they showed the "scary" incest woman clearly enough to tell that she wasn't supernatural, I thought it was incredibly obvious. What a shitty, overrated movie, I'll never get my two hours back from watching Poughkeepsie Tapes for Redditors

jesus christ. almost 15 years later and people are still saying muh purgatory with lost.

You might have figured that something was amiss and some scenes were clearly masking some other reality, but if you somehow guessed that Craig Robinson was a prison warden with a goddamn side business of human trafficking that he operated from inside the prison, I kind of call bullshit, that's the wackiest conclusion to jump to.
It's very obvious in retrospect, almost ridiculously so, in fact, but I'm pretty sure the majority of people would just assume Dark Army shenanigans and Elliot just straight admitting to himself that he is a shizo.

This "twist" is very unsurprising if you've actually been in prison.

>overly nice kind person introduced at the beginning of the movie is actually le evil mastermind behind it all

>>213319041
every disney/ modern pixar(disney under another nae) movie

>>213315784 (OP)
There is one trope that is so common that at least a few authors have made fun of it when writing their own stories:
> when a man and woman take an immediate dislike to each other, they're certain to fall in love by the end of the movie

Finally a Mr. Robot thread. Despite there being like 8 trannies and a bunch of gay guys , this show’s atmosphere and soundtrack is unmatched.

>>213315784 (OP)

Not sure about "predictable". More like "the deception never fools anyone for an instant".

A supposedly male character turns out to be a female character in disguise. But she never looks even remotely male.

I loved how they shot the scenes taking place in the 80s as if it was a 50s movie with the primary colors and the widescreen. It added to the unsettling nature of the guy.

I'm still baffled Bruce Willis agreed to be in this film. The paycheck must have been huge. Good for him.

>>213315784 (OP)
Does any of the hackery actually make any sense? Or is it all made up bullshit, as per usual.

>Does any of the hackery actually make any sense? Or is it all made up bullshit, as per usual.
In regards to the twist in OP's picrel, it makes perfect sense. In regards to the whole show? It again all makes sense. People like to throw shit at the show for representing events from Elliot's perspective in a stylized way and make it seem like "it's all in le head!!" when in reality all the events do happen.

The "dead daughter is from the future" thing was so obvious that I was confused by the movie screeching to a halt to explain it to the audience.

In the movie Oblivion you're supposed to be surprised that the scavengers are humans.

>i'm surprised Bruce Willis agreed to be in a softcore porno with Jane March

>>213317556
didnt even understand that this was going to be presented as a twist when i watched it, it was so obvious i was sure they'd go in another direction
>>213320875
>paid to rub his dick against that hot actress
>baffled
y r u gay?

raised by wolves, but the books spoiled most of the twists for me

The ending of alien covenant was literally an olsen twins ending

They spoiled this in the trailer

>>213321930
>dead daughter is from the future
anon are you retarded

>makes millionaire bad guy look like the leader of Heaven's Gate
>people suffer the same end as the Heaven's Gate cult

The whole room I was watching with got mad when I said "that's Morgan Freeman" because his name was in the credits

>>213322643
Did you forget the movie?

When the badass hero of the film who never uses a gun or never fights or whatever the I don't do that rule is.... suddenly is 10/10 at it with some well I never said I was bad at it quip at the end.
It's the weakest of all twists being it's barely even a twist at all.
