Worst Plot Twists
Inspired by the "Worst Endings" thread and something extremely stupid I watched last night, this is a thread for posting awful plot twists. Obviously, there will be a lot of spoilers in this thread.
The big one I can think of currently is from the new ABC show No Ordinary Family. The son, J.J. is apperently pregnant because of his super-brain.

Of all the confusing stuff in the series, that was the worst. The story would have been just as fine if they kept it as the guy was ansem, and the proffesor(who is the games true ansem) is called Xehanort, and then make Master Xehanort, master Ansem. Although confusing, it to me is much better than what truly happened.
This.
Also in Heroes, Hiro's power is slowly killing him.
Earthworm Jim 3D, Jim's feminine side is trying to take over. What.
And I just have to say it:
Bot that the game actually says this, but it's the only explanation that actually makes any sort of sense whatsoever, so...
Anyway. For me, the biggest example of a bad WTF twist is Ratchet & Clank 2. So, the big bad guy turns out to actually be Captain Quark, in a role he was clearly shoe-horned into at the last minute after he proved popular in the first game? Yeah, no.
Or if any comic fans out there have read X-Men Unlimited? The plot twists in there are crazy, because the author roster kept changing, new elements like Mystique (blue shape shifter) was hinted at being Xavior's pet cat, but then nothing ever came of it... That kind of "twist" annoys me!
A good twist is the kind found in the likes of good books like the Wasp Factory, anyone ever read that?
He's not pregnent.
As for plot twists, Jericho is good at those. In fact, Hawkins is the master of plot twists.
All this talk of Shyamalan and his twists annoys me to no end. Every movie has a twist.
I'll throw a real ringer. Ash is an android from Alien. An android that bleeds either yogurt or pudding or milk. Or worse.
Here's another. Rei is Shinji's mother from Neon Genesis Evangelion. Not just Shinji's mother. Clones of his mother.
And finally. Tia Dalma is Calypso from Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. Why? Because this gave way to the terrible chemistry between her and Davy Jones, one of the most badass villains of all time. It also gave way to her terrible reveal as a bunch of crabs, thus disappearing from the plot to do nothing interesting with her character after a lot of build up. Nothing at all.
I was even okay with infinite, it's just the random number of 507!
2, Even if they weren't cancelled for good by then, none of the people watching it would have any clue where all of this started., only that he has been alive a long time and has regenerated hundreds of times.
I am not Doctor Who expert(never watched it), but if they have chosen such a high number isn't that because they're trying to prevent the number of regenerations from ever coming close to the limit?
1) The Doctor makes shit up all the time anyway. For all we know, it was a number HE pulled out of his ass, so it should "sound random".
2) Regeneration is a natural process, and natural processes don't give two shits about our decimal numbering system.
3) It is A NUMBER. Time Lords are not supposed to be immortal, just "functionally" immortal, mostly, or at least long-lived.
And:
4) Essentially, that we had the change at all was extremely stupid and this is the first real retcon I can think of in Doctor Who history. We've had at least ONE Time Lord cheat the limit before, it would have been far more respectful to see how the next series does and, if it's time to cancel, kill off the Doctor(in a way that sort of allows for a revival later). If the show does well enough for another series, have him cheat the system, not completely ignore it. The IDEA is dumb, the NUMBER is the least of the concerns, and is better than "infinity".
You know, by tomorrow, all will be fine. This is likely just my night in the ticked-off fandumb.
I'm totally going to use the number 507 everywhere now, though. Kind of like how weird al always sneaks in 27 somewhere.
Tell the truth, I always imagined the whole final regeneration thing with him ending up regenerating anyway at the end, and then being extremely confused as to why he isnt dead
First it was revealed that Xorn, this Chinese mutant that supposedly had a star for a head or whatever, was actually Magneto all along. Magneto on DRUGS. Then Magneto kills Jean Grey, Wolverine decapitates Magneto. Thus ends Grant Morrison's stint writing X-Men.
Except that IMMEDIATELY afterwards, Marvel clearly decides that they still want Magneto alive. So Professor Xavier takes the body believed to be Magneto's to Genosha for a funeral. There he runs into... Magneto. And Magneto has no idea who this dead guy is but it's obviously not Magneto because HE'S Magneto.
........ what.
And then a short time later, the X-Men .......... find Xorn. Only he's a different Xorn. He's the first Xorn's brother. With identical powers. Who has no idea how his brother made himself look like Magneto or imitated his powers.
..................... sigh.
Not long after this I decided to stop reading comics.
Maybe the time lords changed it to the maximum ammount of regenorations possble cos of the Time war.
Seriously, spider?
Blade Runner. Deckard is a replicant. It's bullshit, and I prefer to believe this isn't the case, whether it's been confirmed or not.
You should read the book then. He isn't in the original.
Blade Runner is a weird case for me. I hate 50% of the storyline yet it is one of my fav movies and my second fav Sci-fi(T2 being one and BttF being 3).
Why then you ask? Two simple things.
-Atmosphere (the combination of visuals and sound)
I get goosebumps everytime Deckard walks up his balcony and that blues kicks in and you hear the sound of passing spinners.
-Favourite post-apocalyptic world
I love how it's all dark rains and is brimmed with coloured neon lights and the heavy asian influence.
^This. I'm a firm believer that Deckard is a human myself, regardless of what Ridley Scott has said.
Also Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is an awesome, awesome book.
