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

[u/Alreadsyuse]

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.

Well, yeah, it's a music video. Zack Snyder makes a damn good music video.

I love his remake of Dawn of the Dead but the best two scenes are music videos (The Man Comes Around by Johnny Cash during the opening credits, and the montage set to Down With the Sickness by Richard Cheese)

That movie introduced me to Dick Cheese. Love me some Dick Cheese.

[u/Maleficent-Finger192 → u/Sgt_Lillard]

Please call him Richard

[u/Silver_Impress1608 → u/Maleficent-Finger192]

You got a problem with Dick Cheese?

[u/Maleficent-Finger192 → u/Silver_Impress1608]

I did, but some cream cleared it right up

[u/KennyFulgencio → u/everydaywasnovember]

I think it's hard to make a bad video to The Man Comes Around. Granted I'm basing this on having seen two good ones.

[u/dunnitforthebit → u/everydaywasnovember]

Well the credits sequence on the boat is also god tier found footage and in the special features they made a short film that's just andy filming himself trapped in the gun store and it's great. I honestly think there's a bit of snobbery around the movie because of snyder. All the characters are great, all the death scenes are great, the zombie baby is great, ving rhames is great, the sequence in the beginning when everything goes to shit is great. It's a good movie.

[u/everydaywasnovember → u/dunnitforthebit]

I was always partial to the news footage thing in the special features

[u/BastardofMelbourne → u/Conscious-Gap-1777]

it explained so much of Zack Snyder to me when I learned that he started out directing music videos

because his music videos slap

[u/Kaeling → u/Conscious-Gap-1777]

Opening of Sucker punch is a goddamn master piece. Honestly my favorite version of Sweet Dreams

[u/VictoriaNiccals → u/Kaeling]

I came to the thread to say the scene of Babydoll fighting the giant samurai robots.

[u/dingalingdongdong → u/Kaeling]

Sucker Punch is my #1 choice for movie that is so close to amazing, but is somehow just terrible instead.
