Split : The twist isn't even a twist

The twist isn't even a twist

I don't get how people are saying that the twist is amazing. We see Bruce Willis in his role from Unbreakable, who tells the woman in the cafe that the name of crazy guy in the wheelchair was Mr. Glass.

How is this even a twist? It doesn't change anything that happened earlier. It's just a cameo, like Wolverine's in X-Men: First Class. Nobody called that a twist.

I think some people want M. Night Shyamalan to be back on his game so much that they're blinding themselves.

Re: The twist isn't even a twist

Well, in a way, it's incredible unique because it I'm not necessarily sure that it can be categorized as a "twist". I loved it and the overall ramifications to what it means, but it doesn't work in the same way most other twists do work. And it can only exist and have meaning because of another movie.

I'm not saying it is a twist or it's not a twist. That's what's so interesting about it. It's hard to categorize and people will undoubtedly disagree if it is or not.

But it is very interesting and very unique.

Because that didn't change the entire context of the story. This did. This plays like a horror movie. The twist tells us that while it has horror elements this is a supervillain movie

Re: The twist isn't even a twist

the ending is not so much a twist rather than a reveal that changes the context of the movie. It just reveals that this is not a horror/thriller movie, but rather a super villain origin story for the horde - the ending explains why he can walk on walls, bend bars, etc. Also, there's going to be a third movie with david dunn facing down against the horde, so i'd say it was a pretty good/surprising ending that sets up the next film.

Re: The twist isn't even a twist

Third movie? You're kidding me. That sounds awesome.

Re: The twist isn't even a twist

It's been talked about between the actors who agreed to come back for a sequel and Shyamalan is 11 pages into writing a script for it, so hopefully!
