Wait, was that the ending?

[Nocta-Aeterna]

Berserk. I haven't seen anything to beat that ending in strangeness.

It makes more sense if you read the manga, the anime 'only' flashbacks the reason why Guts turned into a roaring rampage of vengance.

Apart from HP: The Deathly Hallows's immensly dissatisfiyng epilogue, I can't think of any wtf endings that I know of.

 

[Rottweiler]

Actually, I'd say half of Stephen King's books end in wtf. Maybe more than half. Dark Tower most definitely. Misery was right up there though.

 

[oppp7]

Basically whenever a game ends on a cliffhanger and the next game announced is a prequel (Halo 3, Dead Space...). Also, the epilogue for Deathly Hallows sucked.

 

[IamQ]

Hancock. What made me confused wasn't what happend, but more, why would have an ending like that?

Spoiler

They suddenly out of nowhere make those 2 random thugs, shoot hancock alot of times and then he gts his powers back and kills them. Then there's a scene where he speaks foregin. WHy?

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.

I hate the epilogue on Veteran, it took me OVER 9000 tries to do it.

What about the godawful film they made? Seriously, for the ending to THAT they decide to take out the entire climactic ending of the book and save it for the next film, while having the movie ending be nothing more than a literal fade-to-black, seriously, there is no fucking ending! It just stops!

Oh hell yeah, the film was just a horrid travesty in almost every way. If we're talking book to film adaptations it wasn't as bad as the Eragon movie though, which seemed to engage in so much anal loving without consent that it came out all rather coated in faecal matter.

 

[TotallyFake]

Ok, so I didn't check if anyone else put this but "The Departed" had an... unorthodox ending.

I think you're confusing unorthodox with "completely bloody excellent"

And I don't understand all the hate for the COD4 ending? Yes, it did kinda come out of nowhere, but was a spectacularly emotional finale that was completely different from the typical cliche of "they save the day, get the girl, live happily ever after"

A series of unfortunate events.
The ending is just like, "SO anyway, maybe this series is true and maybe it isn't, and nobody knows what happened to anybody. The end." and I'm left wondering WTF THE SUGAR BOWL IS!

Sorry for the double post, multiple quotes across pages get confusing.

You've also missed the point. VFD is built around needless secrets and codes piled upon codes. The sugar bowl is entirely unimportant, as is the cause of the fire, the tunnel between the Baudillaire house and 667 Dark Avenue, as is what the parents were doing with a box of poison darts yadda yadda.
The kids decide to move away from all the VFD bullshit and live their lives. You can't know what the sugar bowl is without getting caught in the cycle again. And the reveal about

Spoiler: ending

Ok, all the syndicates are dead, now what? My bosses put all of the syndicates into power to create a new world order? Uhhhhh, am I gonna do anything about this? Why should I support people trying to take over the world? As a super powered police officer, aren't I supposed to stop this?

that was a definite kick in the crotch

It's like they had a sequel planned without any foresight the game was going to do well. The only reason it sold as well as it did was because it came with a free Halo 3 Demo. If people are going off of game sales then that game was overrated*. I know people who bought the game for the Halo 3 demo, tried it, and returned it for store credit. I know people who didn't the advertisements for it and still bought the game because of the Halo 3 demo. Is this why the ending sucked? Because they knew it was going to sell? This is not a way to judge whether it is worth making a sequel.

*note: I personally liked the game but it is overrated if you just look at the sales since it was riding the coattails of something else.

 

[Molten Water]

Jumper...It just ends...fucking STUPID movie overall anyway

 

[SonicMTD]

Mirrors Edge.... it had promise build up and then... let's cut to the sisters hugging on top of a building.... WHERE DO YOU GO FROM THERE FAITH!!!? Arn't you still on the run?

 

[Hlain]

The newest Prince of Persia was a bit... anticlimatic. Sure, it shows the selfish human nature and how youre own love is put before everything else, but like the romantic sucker I am I would have enjoyed the more noble choice of the two endings.
Though the semi-old PoP trilogy, ending with The Two Thrones, had a great ending, putting it all together. It was awesome...

Ehm... That was kind of the point.

The government you have been working for is aiming for a fascistic regime (of some sort) and you have been used as a tool for their hidden agenda.
You should have been working for peace and freedome, but then your employers weren't entirely truthfull.

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

Anti-climatic?

I really liked it, and the fight is one of the best I've ever seen. At least the ending makes sense, unlike a lot of the stuff mentioned.

Halo 3: ODST. I just don't get it, what was the campaign even about? I played through the whole thing, and I honestly don't know what they accomplished in the end, I mean we a cool squid-thing...that has nothing to do with the game that's chronillogically after it. That's...helpfull?

I was rather miffed by it myself. I get that the Engineer has all this info on the Covenant, but surely that means the UNSC would know what the hell the Covenant were digging for instead of being all "ZOMG portal lol" in Halo 3.

The information could be the reason that the UNSC wins the war in Halo 3 rather than falling to the combined force of the Covenant and the Flood. After all, the Chief isn't around to save their asses at that point. I agree though that they should have known about the dig, but if they'd known in H3 it wouldn't have made any sense until now.

well they where alredy digging when they left so not much time to figure out how to extract vital inteligense from a alien being.

 

[Kriptonite]

Gigantic was a movie that ended very...strangely. It was good, just really weird.

 

[fearofthemind]

Mine would have to be the bioshock ending. The good one. Or maybe the ending to Godzilla final wars.
Spoiler: Godzilla and his son walk off into the distance, like in a western.
Or the ending to gamera 3: revenge of iris.
Spoiler: Billions of Gaos are flying toward the location of Gamera. Gamera stands in front of a building and roars. Brilliant.

Silent hill 2. It was my 1st silent hill game. And it didnt make any sense at all.
