I’ve watched shows, movies, read comics or listened to podcasts where there is a lot of build up around a mystery, only for the end to be lackluster. In these the journey itself was more riveting than where we ended up. What are some instances where the answer lived up to the hype?
When it was first released, The Sixth Sense ending blew everyones’ minds.
Usual Suspects and Se7en as well.
My youngest sister has never watched Sixth Sense so that’s the plan the next time one of us visits the other.
I suspect even though she doesn’t know the twist, it has invaded pop culture references and memes though that she will figure it out early on in the movie. I remember even just knowing there was A Twist^TM was enough for me to spot what was coming much earlier on than the reveal. Really looking forward to seeing what she thinks of the movie from her Gen Z perspective.
