Plot twists and big reveals you solved by yourself

[bigfatcarp93]

In Mass Effect 2, I kind of figured

Spoiler

Garrus was Archangel

the moment I saw his armor.

Also, in Portal 2, I pretty much figured on

Spoiler

GLaDOS being Caroline

.

 

[axlryder]

Spoiler

Bruce Willis is dead the whole time

Kevin Spacey is Keyser Söze

Edward Norton is Tyler Durden

etc. etc.

I usually figure out plot twists almost immediately just based on the tone of the film and through the application of basic observational and deductive reasoning I acquired from having watched many a murder mystery with my mother when I was a kid.

 

[octafish]

I knew who Altas was from the moment his family was killed, even when I didn't know what his name would be, because well...

Spoiler

The Polito form is dead, insect.

Jade Empire...that one bugged me as the game dragged on and on and on.

Fucking Slumdog Millionare, knew the final question, who he would call and what he would do about ten minutes in...I walked out at that stage.

 

[chozo_hybrid]

I dunno if I was supposed to already know (it was pretty obvious) but I knew straight away that

Spoiler

Quincy Sharp was the spirit of Arkham. Their voices are exactly the same.

I figured that one out, after you hear the first one you find and next hear him as himself.

In The Darkness II

Spoiler

Right from the beginning I figured the visions that Jackie was having of Jenny were the the result of the Angelus messing with his head, and that it had taken Jenny has its host. I was never heavily into the Darkness lore, but I knew what the Angelus was because of my cousin who is a huge Darkness fan. It was made kind of obvious by the fact that ever time Jackie had one of these visions the Darkness would say "IT LIES!!!", emphasis on the word 'it'.

I didn't see that coming until just after the carnival stuff.

The ending to Lost, along with every one who ever watched even 5 minutes of the first episode, 10 years prior to its cancellation.

I had never seen the show and I called the ending when the series started. I was till in highschool then and I specifically said

Spoiler

It will turn out they're all dead

I think it was based on a book, which is probably how I called it.

What got me into LOST was that the producer promised, in the off-season gap between Season 1 and Season 2, that a) there would not be a copout ending, nor ambiguous or non-ending and b) all the big theories already postulated to him -- most notably this specific theory itself -- were wrong. I stopped watching LOST at the midway ending with the flashforwards where everything major was tied up, but with enough minor loose ends to keep producing episodes for the dedicated fans. If he did indeed pull this stunt as the final, final ending, after suckering people into watching by explicitly promising that would not be what happened, then that's disgraceful.

 

[Composer]

Every episode of Doctor who since the beginning of Matt Smith.

 

[Waaghpowa]

I stopped watching LOST at the midway ending with the flashforwards where everything major was tied up, but with enough minor loose ends to keep producing episodes for the dedicated fans.

I have yet, to this day, to see an episode of LOST in any quantity of time. Maybe I saved myself the time?

It had its highlights. Namely, Season 1, bits of Season 2 and Season 4. Season 3 and the filler bulk of Season 2 were terrible.

 

[immortalfrieza]

Pretty much everything that going happen in Avatar I figured out after the first 10 minutes or so, when they got done explaining the basic premise of the movie. It was laughably predictable after that, but despite that I still managed to enjoy the movie.

I figured out the killer in quite a few Bones episodes because I noticed a pattern with it, every killer will either have appeared in the first 5-10 minutes of the episode or just come out of nowhere in the last 5 minutes of the episode, the killer almost never shows up halfway through, and they will never not figure out who the killer is either.

Captcha: Smoking Guns

My, how psychic captcha, you must have seen me coming an hour ago.

 

[Explorator Vimes]

I'm actually really good at it, annoyingly so actually that my friends just tell me to shut up if I'm about to say something about a game or movie, but the funny thing is that I did not at all see the KotoR twist coming, probably because I didn't know crap about Star Wars really. Heck I played it less than 4 years ago in college, which made me...22ish? My buddy actually subtly wanted to hang out when I was in the reveal area just so he could watch me flip at the reveal, which I did.

Other than that I called both who the kid was in the pit and who would be Robin in Batman with little knowledge of Batman universe both in their first or second appearance on screen, only ever seen that one and the 2nd of the series of the movies, and the Batman: The Animated series, never read any of the comics. Tate only as the actual badguy, not specifics since I didn't know who Liam Neeson's character was really.

I'm blanking on actual movies, but I know I've completely undone hours upon hours of prep for a lot of tabletop games I've played in by guessing every part of our DM's plots, which is only funny so many times.

 

[Sean Hollyman]

Obvious one from Dark Knight Rises

Spoiler

the kid who climbed out of the prison, i mean, the kid didnt have the mask, they kept saying he was injured in the prison and got it there

Yeah I got that too, they said they attacked and beat up Bane, but when the kid was climbing out, it had no injuries.

 

[twohundredpercent]

I figured out the chick in Orphan was a really

Spoiler

A midget

like the 2nd time I saw the trailer.

 

[Eclipse Dragon]

I guessed the whole big plot twist at the end of The Sixth Sense.

Video games are easy to predict, especially when a character is going to die.
There is one character I keep guessing will die, but to my surprise hasn't yet.

Spoiler

Sully from Uncharted,
he's the mentor character and with everything that happened in Drake's Deception,
it just seemed like they were going to kill him.

Yeah, don't be suprised; Uncharted is a fun series. It's a videogame that takes inspiration from old cinema and literature. Everything works out for the hero at the end and he gets the girl. Hell, he managed to get the same girl three different times.

Yeah, but I was so sure they'd kill him off for dramatic effect.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

The first time I saw The Princess Bride:

Spoiler

That Wesley was the Man in Black. It's kinda obvious.

Doesn't keep me from liking the movie, though.

 

[irani_che]

The Cabin in the Woods most recently

Spoiler

The college kids were being sacrificed to some sort of ancient evil in order to stop something very bad from happening; they practically give it away in the opening credits and first 15 minuets of the film

Kind of left me disappointing cause all my friends were calling "Best twist eva!" Hardly I say... Good movie though

that isnt a twist, you know its going on from the get-go

the twist really is

Spoiler

all the horrors in the underground storage boxes and the show of the "sacrifices" it was just a reveal for the two left, but the audience were floored when they realise every horror movie you have every watched has had the same basic 5 characters plus a few extra ones for dying suddenly. I have split up loads of horror movie victim gangs into this trope, including scooby doo

 

[Jakub324]

Spoiler: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl

I figured out that the Marked One and Strelok were the same person. Can't remember how, though.

Doc calls you 'Strelok' early on.

I took the other questline (wish granter one), so I didn't even know Doc existed until my second playthrough.

 

[mynameisphil]

The first time The Princess Bride:

Spoiler

That Wesley was the Man in Black. It's kinda obvious.

Doesn't keep me from liking the movie, though.

I don't think that was supposed to be much of a secret. They made it incredibly obvious. The only person who didn't know was Princess Buttercup.

 

[Dr.A]

Spoilers for Isaac Asimov's Robots of Dawn.

For those who haven't ever read it, there is a highly advanced robot who became locked in an infinite loop and became completely useless because of it. There was one other robot like it, both of which were made by this one scientist guy and extremely valuable.

Sorry, read it two years ago and I'm too lazy to look up the names.

Anyway, they were trying to find out who could have possibly done this to the robot, since it required a paradox so huge the advanced robot couldn't work through it. The scientist claimed he was the only one who was capable of doing it, but swore it wasn't him.

The book is all about the detective interviewing suspects, trying to figure out whodunnit. Halfway through reading the book an idea popped into my head that seemed to be the only explanation. If it wasn't the scientist, the other other person, or..."person" it could have been was the other robot, which turned out to be right.

Yaaaay.

Usually though, with books and movies, I suck at figuring out what's really going on, when everyone else thought it was obvious.

Quote: Fight Club...
Another twist was Fight Club. I knew the film had a twist ending and had been told that "reality was off kilter", so I did have a slight advantage in figuring it out.

Spoiler

I saw Brad Pitt walk on screen and I said "Please tell me he is real and not a figment of the main character's imagination". I thought I might be spared that old twist right up until the main characters girlfriend said something to the effect of "You're insane! *WINK* *WINK*

That and the "SuBliMiNaL iMagEs" that last for several frames (!) in about three spots into the first half hour...

I'm not burning you, but it took me very little time to come up with the spoiler the fist time. T H E N; I thought that was too cliché. o_0
And dismissed it altogether. And felt stupid towards the end of the movie. XD

 

[Swyftstar]

I knew who Miranda Tate really was the instant she walked on screen in Dark Knight Rises

Spoiler

I didn't know exactly who she was at first but I knew she was dirty the second I saw her. It was confirmed for me when Nolan kind of lingered on that scar on her back.
