Wait, was that the ending?

[Brickcups]

When Dumbledore dies.

I already read the books but that is just inconsiderate to someone who has not read the books and plans to.

OT: I can't really think of anything right now, though I might later.

Is it just me, or is it really hard to find anyone who DOESN'T know he died? I mean, when the book came out you couldn't go two feet without hearing the "news."

Metal Gear Solid: 2
MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS IF YOU'VE BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK WITHOUT 3 DOLLARS AND A PLAYSTATION:


I played that game, and at the end I was like "What the fuck? Did that just happen? Was that rose girl real? How far was I playing the game before it became a simulation? Was it always a simulation? And why were the patriots all dead?!

Needless to say, I literally was bothered for DAYS over whether or not I was real. Usually I know the difference between reality and fiction when I'm playing a videogame, but I was completely dumbfounded when I realized that was exactly what the game WANTED me to do at the end of it. I was like "The simulation (game) was of a simulation... and it had never told me?! What kind of mindfuckery is this!?"

Maybe you guys weren't so confused, but to this day I question if my life is happening or not.

Reminds me of family guy.
So all that happened was just a simulation?
Yeah? And?
Won't that piss any body off that sat there through this whole simulation watching it just to learn all of it was fake and meant nothing?
Well at least we didn't do it like the sapranos where we ended everything mid- *Credits*

 

[Sibbo]

I'll be the first to mention No Country For Old Men.

Oh god that was aggravating, was waiting for some huge showdown and nothing.

 

[GebGuy]

I saw one other guy mention it, but yes, the ending to the Dark Tower series. 7 books for

Spoiler

some little kid to magically erase the end boss with his magical pencil. wtf

 

[duchaked]

Call of Duty 4.

Man, this chase is pretty fun.
Ooooh shit! Holy shit, this bridge is gunna fall!
Oh, another gun fight? Ok, sounds good.
Wait, what just happened? Did we get hit by a bomb or -- ooooh shit, that guy is executing our dudes!
*head turn*
Oh, a pistol? For me? Gah-hyuck, why, thank you very much.
*totally awesome slo-mo shot*
....What? That's the ending?! What is this shit?
A fun epilogue.

hahaha I didn't think it was bad at all, rather satisfying
tho yea kinda predictable cuz I was like going "oh man I better be able to shoot this guy..." out loud to my friend who was watching me play and then "oh...thanks price" bam bam bam

1984, what kinda ending was that?! There should've been a shoot-out and car chase.

yeah 1984...
well I feel like Equilibrium is the much better alternative to some of the supposed-utopia dystopian future theme
(plus the cleric are badass, but don't steal the spotlight to turn the film into a mindless action flick)

The Legendary ending of Halo 3, just because it leaves the ending open, I mean, what is that planet they were headed towards?

in response to the halo 3 legendary ending:

this is coming from the perspective of someone who has read too many of the halo books, but my random wild guess is that the planet is onyx. the frigate split right next to the ark, so it would be totally possible to have floated to onyx. but that is just a wild guess.

I have read all of the Halo books myself (at least all the ones I know of) and it wasn't Onyx. If you remember, all of Onyx's land fell away, or dissolved, or what have you, exposing the interconnecting and cris-crossing beams that are the inside of it.

I think...

damnit, i forgot about that. you are right, onyx did break apart. although, it could be the sphere the other spartans ended up inside of when they went through the teleport. but probably not.

 

[PirateKing]

2001: A Space Odyssey. Though, considering the movie as a whole, it didn't make any sense.

 

[JemJar]

Spoiler: Memento

Because even if you watch it in "chronological order" it still doesn't actually explain itself.

Really? I thought they wrapped it up nicely. What did you think was left hanging?

Spoiler

Only if you assume Teddy is telling the truth. But he might be lying because it was actually him. Or he might just be lying to avoid being killed.

 

[Frybird]

My pick would have to be the movie version of The Mist.

Spoiler

what pissed me off about it was that they never revealed anything regarding the creatures. Maybe the book didn't leave that out.

Spoiler

The book didn't explain where the creatures. Never seen the movie but the guy and son and girlfriend don't die in book.

The Mist's Ending (Movie) pissed me off for another reason:

Spoiler

So yeah, they wanted a real downer ending. Something really depressing. And i am okay with that.
But couldn't they really come up with something better as "LOL, you shot your loved ones! If you stopped for a minute, everything would've been fine!" ?
Even more annoying if you take into account that the movie was hyped and advertised for "having the most shocking ending EVAR!"...wich might be true if you are shocked by enormous amounts of cheapness

 

[Smudge91]

the matrix revolutions...just, wow. So anti-climatic!

Even though i love the matrix, i have to agree the ending was a bit of a let down. I was expecting a bit more, i honestly don't understand how people don't understand the matrix aswell its a fairly simple thing imo.

 

[Angryman101]

Mine would have to be the Cowboy Bebop ending.

Spoiler

"Bang". Great show, but did Spike die? I still ask myself that question and still can't decide on an answer.

Note: It doesn't have to be an anime based, confusing ending like I did. It can be from a movie, TV show, video game or a book.

Actually, the maker of the show wanted it to be left ambiguous and is constantly questioning why so many people think he did die, according to interviews. I personally think it makes it a more beautiful ending if he did die, but would like to believe that he lived and finally got it on with Faye.

Blade Runner. That entire movie just had me saying "What the crap..."

Trigun. Brought up tons of emotional and deep questions, then ended it with a show recap (honestly, a show recap for half of the last episode?) and a short, simple gun battle with no explanation of exposition whatsoever.

Fooly Cooly. Another one that just confused me the entire time (but an amazing anime nonetheless).

Going from bottom to top...
Fooly Cooly was made by the same people who made NGE. Impenetrable plot combined with pretty animation is kinda their game.
With the Trigun anime, that's what happens when you end the anime about, what, 3-4 years too early and don't even introduce half of the later cast? It's called a gecko ending, I believe. Look it up on tv tropes. Try not to ruin your life because of the website I just introduced you to.
Blade Runner was about blurring lines, about what makes a person, a person, and finally about making little to no sense due to the massive amounts of unique stylization and VERY thick symbolism.

OP: Going to have to go with the show Firefly. I know it was canceled and had a movie, but come ON it ended too soon god damn it!

 

[Frybird]

Another one:

While i was okay with the Ending of FEAR 2 (...well, mostly because it's weird uniqueness), i can't shake the feeling that the last 20 Minutes or something were the only time were the story actually moves...somewhere.

You might be very confused if you play FEAR 2 without playing the first one, but when an eventual FEAR 3 will be out, everything relevant in FEAR 2 can probably reduced to one or two sentences.

 

[CrysisMcGee]

I'm gonna say Medal of Honor:Allied Assault had the worst ending ever. I was so mad, the same day I went to the game store and traded it.

No ending cinematic, no ending resolution, no letter of congrats, not even a Frakking ending screen. Went from ending the mission right to credits.

 

[silasbufu]

Crysis

 

[Dr.Poisonfreak]

I found the call if juarez :BIB ending a bit shit

Spoiler: it's like..

oooh i shot lots of people now im gonna become a vicar and marry my brother and the woman who cheated on me with him, yar thats smart gyuk gyuk

 

[olicon]

Ever heard of Ultraman [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraman]?
It's one of those kids shows--predecessor to Power Ranger.
Except at the end, everyone died. Like, everyone. The kid, the hero, the heroine, the entire city--dead--wiped out by some crazy ass monster.
Take that, modern Saturday morning kids show!

 

[Ghostkai]

(I did search this and didn't find anything similar to what am about to talk about.)

Think of an ending, that left you a bit puzzled an ending which left far to many questions or even just one big question. For example an ending that left you with such thoughts, like. "Wait so did he/she die or not?"

Basically endings that left you puzzled, they were good endings and the show that they came from was good to, "it just left you a bit confused."

Mine would have to be the Cowboy Bebop ending.

Spoiler

"Bang". Great show, but did Spike die? I still ask myself that question and still can't decide on an answer.

Note: It doesn't have to be an anime based, confusing ending like I did. It can be from a movie, TV show, video game or a book.

For Cowboy Bebop, watch the whole of the end credits, you should see a star go out (given what the Indian Shaman-like guy says with regards to stars going out and warriors dying, it should answer your query). Hope that helps.

As for me... Erm, probably No Country for Old Men. Great film. But last 20 minutes or so, just bad. Almost feels like theres an extra 15 minutes of the film to go when it finishes.

 

[LooK iTz Jinjo]

The Sopranos had a pretty horrific ending.

That Fucking Cut To Black!

I hate to say it because I loved it so much but COD4's ending just left me wondering what happened and I went outside.
