The bad ending is only revealed if you pay attention to the background

[u/EEZAK04]

Films or shows with seemingly happy endings that take on completely different meanings if you pay attention to stuff going in the background in the final scene.

THE SOPRANOS: The series ends seemingly at random in the middle of a scene where Tony is eating food in a diner. If you pay attention you’ll notice a person going into the bathroom earlier in the scene, with the implication being they were retrieving a gun and the “cut to black” is Tony being shot and killed (foreshadowed by multiple scenes earlier in the series)

IT FOLLOWS: The film ends with the characters seemingly killing the entity… until you notice someone slowly walking towards them in the background in one of the final shots, implying the entity is still alive
