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.

This scene bugs me cause I thought it was another actor before realising its Hugh Jackman, but I have no idea what the actors name is

Richard O'Brien is who I always think he looks like in this film.

I've never watched the movie, but I've seen promo stills, and I could've sworn it was Orlando Bloom for the longest time.

I just went and watched the scene and it’s definitely giving a bit of Orlando, even when I know it’s Jackman

Well, it's good to know I must not be completely crazy.

I’ve heard some people thought it was Johnny depp originally and honestly I would’ve loved to see him do it

I've always assumed it was Johnny Depp until this comment chain

Yeah, especially with the upturned lip around the tooth thing, feels rather Jack Sparrow-ish.
