What a TWIST!

[zombiejoe]

What is your farvorite plot twist in a game, and/or movie, and/or book, and/or whatever

I have many, but my most recent is the 3rd game in the Colour My series, Color My Dreams. It takes such a dark tone. Full of monsters and freaky stuff.

Granted, I guess this isan't a plot twist, but I did not want to say somthing everyone would say.

The narrator's identity in [i/]The Somnambulist[/i]. I remember throwing the book against the wall in pure annoyance that I didn't see it coming.

Excellent book by the way, I wrote a review about it for this site but alas, it died very quickly.

Go back to your little hidey hole, M. Night Shyamalan!

i had a similar experience while playing Assassin's Creed. They pulled the oldest twist in the book!

The Plot twist in Eisenhorn...when he's fighting the titan. And certain people die

HL:2 Ep. 2, 'nuff said

 

[badgersprite]

Snape kills Du--

Just kidding. =3

Alright, for real, though? I don't know. Probably the end of Dexter season 2, when

Spoiler

Lila kills Doakes and Dexter kills Lila.

Even though I figured it was going to happen, it was still just superbly executed.

Other than that, possibly The Wire season 4.

Spoiler

When Bodie dies. I didn't see it coming until that episode. Ever since the "unless they're some smart ass pawns" scene in season one, I thought he was going to make it to the top of the gang. I really liked him. =( But I guess that's just how life goes on the street; you don't live. You never make it to the end of the chessboard.

i fucking love EisenHorn and Dan Abbnett He is a brilliant fucking writer, but i think the best twist is when Ravenor comes back, Or what happens to Carl Thonius in the Ravenor Trilogy

Woa woa woa, you didn't see that coming ?

O.O

OK Well admittedly I only saw it about a quarter of the way through and not instantly, but it looked obvious to me @.@

 

[Blackadder51]

Most of the twists in 24 are amazing

Moles in CTU, anyone?

 

[Thaius]

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Duh.

The Sixth Sense is in a close second.

Also, Bioshock. Amazing twist, executed better than any I've ever seen.

 

[BlackIronGuardian]

The entirety of Twelve Monkeys.

Can't really say which twist, 'cause the entire movie just fucked my brain.

 

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

Rankin, the Jury. I won't spoil it, but the identity of the killer came completely from the left field, but when I looked at it I realised it made perfect sense.

I can also remember in an early episode of spooks, 2 characters (man and woman) were being held hostage, and every indication is that they are both going to survive, because that's what happens on shows like this. Instead one of them gets capped in the head and it is heavily implied that the woman is raped a lot. It doesn't sound like a twist, but given the genre and episode it really is.

 

[ZeroMachine]

Last season of House, the season finale.

I don't want to even explain it in a spoiler box. Go watch that ************.

 

[Chicago Ted]

Lucky Number Slevin or Usual Suspects. Both were great.

 

[Poke_Freak]

Well, I'd have to say the ending for the manga Magic Knight Rayearth.
The twist is HUGE. And I mean "turns everything upside down" huge, but it all still fits and makes sense and leads to one of the best endings I've ever read in a story.

I'm tempted to post an explanation in spoiler text, but it's a twist that makes it impossible to enjoy the story if you know it before reading it, so I won't.

 

[Space Spoons]

The last act of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door caught me by surprise. The game revolves around collecting the seven Crystal Stars, which when gathered, will open up the Thousand Year Door beneath Rogueport. The general belief is that treasures beyond your wildest dreams wait behind that door. So you sink hours into the game, getting one star after the next, and then...

Spoiler

Surprise! It's a centuries-old demon called The Shadow Queen intent on spreading darkness and pain all over the world, and you're the only person that's standing in her way!

Didn't see that one coming.
