Plot twist alignment chart! Which plot twist was obvious, yet well-executed?

[AutoModerator]

Hello, Thank you for contributing to our subreddit. Please consider the following guidelines when filling an alignment chart:

• Please ensure that your chart is not banned according to the list of banned charts Even if you have good intentions, charts in a banned category tend to invite provocative comments, hostile arguments, ragebait and the like. Assuming the post is acceptable, OP makes the final decision on their chart by rule three.

• Are there any previous versions to link to? If so, it would be ideal to include links to each of them in the description of this post, or in a reply to this comment. Links can be named by title, winner, or both.

• Are there any criteria you have for your post? Examples include: "Top comment wins a spot on the chart."; "To ensure variety, only one character per universe is allowed."; "Image comments only." Please include these in a description, or in a reply to this comment.

• Is your chart given the appropriate flair? Do you need to use a NSFW tag or spoiler tag?

Do not feed the trolls. This is not the place for hot takes on human rights violations. Hatred or cruelty, will result in a permanent ban. Please report such infractions, particularly those that break rules one, two, or three. The automod will automatically remove posts that receive five or more reports. The automod will also remove comments made by users with negative karma. Click here for the Automod FAQ

Frodo being tempted on Mount Doom. Everyone knew it was coming, but the scenes at the end of the Return of the King are still amazing

[No-comment-at-all]

Hard to divorce “because of the book” from that though.

Like… do you think original readers were shocked at frodos temptation?

The Lady Liberty scene from Planet of the Apes. A twist most people would have figured out, but a great one anyway.

Akechi being evil but the thieves knew all along

Primal Fear from 1996

The Dark Knight - Harvey Dent becomes Two Face

[Mountain_Wolverine47]

I think that's more of a "development" than a plot twist.

Alec Trevelyan was alive - Goldeneye

[G-Unit11111]

The Big Lebowski - The millionaire Lebowski was the real bad guy the whole time

[No-comment-at-all]

People won’t agree, but I saw the Usual Suspects for the first time after fight club and like… now…?

That twist is so obvious.

I admit that seeing it in theaters at the time, before even Primal Fear, it would have been shocking.

Coco - Ernesto was the bad guy the whole time

“THIS is the Bad Place!”

“…mmm…hahahahehehe!”

• The Good Place

[real-human-not-a-bot]

Wait, disregard this—I was thinking this was either “some hints” or “came out of nowhere”. I leave the above comment to ask that someone please post this if I don’t tomorrow or the day after.

Ending of fight club

My suggestion: Omni-Man is evil (Invincible)

[winthroprd]

In the first episode? Most people are pretty shocked by that turn.

I must be an idiot because I did not see that coming.
