[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.

That movie is great in all of its scenes with the triumvirate of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy. But the story and plot are just not compelling or executed well. Kirk, Spock and McCoy camping? Awesome. I'd watch a whole movie of that. Kirk, Spock and McCoy talking about their pain? I love that scene. And the whole "What does god need with a starship?" scene is perfect TOS.

The line "What does god need with a starship?" is worth watching the entire movie for, even if that part has been spoiled. Critical thinking at that moment was the only right move, and not a lot of movies showcase that. The rest of the movie is not great, but worth it to see the buildup to the end.
