For must watch TV videos, check out our playlist!: ua-cam.com/video/24BORRcEvS8/v-deo.html What do YOU think was the worst TV plot twist? Let us kn ow in the comments!
CBS kills the mother in How I Met Your Mother. Turns out Ted was a widower the whole time. Wow. And I thought Robin was the mother - - BUT…she can’t have kids and then we had to wait longer to meet the mother. It was the worst season finale I ever saw. Worst than the finale for Two and a Half Men.
The HIMYM plot twist makes sense as you can argue that Ted's 9 seasons long story was more about Robin than the mother. But the writers didn't take into account that fans already moved on and were too invested in the mother.
Actually the ending was shot waaaay before so they had to somehow match the rest of the final season with it. That's y it looks soo abrupt and patched up. It wasn't natural
I can agree with that. I just finished watching the show again all the way through a few weeks ago, and it's still a great journey. Aside from that terrible cop out ending, the thing that really hurts the last two seasons for me is that Ted isn't over Robin until right near the end when she gets her locket back and he tells her "I don't love you that way anymore." (or something like that). It's only a handful (like 2-4) of episodes later or whatever we get that dumb twist. Really drags the whole thing down, but seasons 1-7 are pretty great, and 8-9 do have their moments.
@@Karlebow571, OMG, HE"S A BABYSITTER, NOT MOM. He even tells Nancy that he is a terrible boyfriend, but a great BABYSITTER. Mom doesn't equal babysitter.
Potentially hot take, HIMYM’s ending would’ve been great if the mother still died, but Barney and Robin stayed together and Ted and Robin didn’t end up together. The scene where Ted runs to see the mother in season 8 is so much more impactful knowing she dies and it took me a rewatch to realize it cause I’m stupid, it’s sad but it’s life, and if only for a short time Ted finally got what he wanted for so long and the ending of him telling his kids the story of how he met their mom is much more meaningful that way
I don’t agree with the Steve part. He immediately apologized and went back to save Nancy life when he had every reason to leave. Steve redeemed himself in the first season.
@@kimberlyjeanne9456 I actually blame the friends around him. When I rewatch season one I noticed that his friends were more cruel and over-the-top and outright mean than he was. He paraded around like he was the leader yet he wasn’t more powerful than the others. Originally Tommy and Carol were cracking jokes about Jonathan in cahoots with wheels death while Steve was more or less commenting on it. This along with many other things made sense in the long run when he kind of dumped his friends
I completely agree on HIMYM's ending feeling like something designed for a show that would only last a few seasons. Not nine seasons after tons of character development.
Problem with HIMYM finale is that the creators literally filmed the finale during season 3, way before Robin and Barney love story, way before we actually see the real mother. They should’ve just moved on from the original planned ending for something that actually made sense after 9 seasons
I'm fine with the Batman Beyond twist. Why? Because it was Amanda Waller who did it. And, as the events of Justice League showed, "ethics" isn't an issue for Waller.
The father still being alive killed Revenge for me. The show was basically “the count of Monte Cristo”. Once they revealed he was always alive it instantly made the first 3 seasons that Emily went through pointless. I jumped off the show after episode 9 of season 4. I just hated the show from there.
2:20 Dafuq you talking about? Steve didn't take part in the public shaming and dumped his shitty friends as soon as he found out what happened. Beyond that, Steve becomes one of the best characters in the series in season 2. Edit: also, what's wrong with the Batman Beyond thing?
Pretty shocked that the entire last season of Game of Thrones wasn’t on here. Like the 180 the writers did and the way they ruined the arcs of several key characters with some awful reveals was pretty shameful.
@@colleen4ever That can be said of everything after the death of John Snow. It's why the show slowly declined in quality after that point. All the backlash against the final season makes me glad I stopped watching after John's resurrection by the power of fan girls I mean of an unnamed god.
Couldnt agree more, mate. I think in general the show started to go off the rails a bit in season 6 with too many comedy diversions and an inability to follow on from the otherwise awesome events of the "Fight the Future" movie. Far too many twists and turns and tangents away from everything the first 5 seasons just to keep things going, especially anything to do with William. That entire plot should never have happened. I wish the Alien Mythlogy plot had come to a better, finalised conclusion at the season 7 finale.
In Batman Beyonds defense, the concept of Terry being biologically related to Bruce isn't a bad idea. It's just overly complicated how it was supposed to work.
I honestly didn’t mind the fake Glenn “death” because it was obvious he wasn’t dead, I’m actually dumbfounded how anybody thought he died, this show never shied away from gruesome death scenes but they always showed it, this time the camera was at an angle where u only saw down to his collarbone area & saw walkers ripping into his body high in his chest but later showed an overtop camera view where he’s being ripped into down by his stomach clearly showing it was Nicholas being torn apart not Glenn.
Little fun fact : both , Matt Leblanc and Jennifer Aniston , hated the "Rachel and Joey's arc" and this is one of the reason why this couple sucks and why that story was the most useless on the show
Yes!! That twist was definitely bad. Allison being alive actually made sense and you're led to that idea throughout the seasons. You're definitely not led to the idea that Spenser has a twin. And it's frustrating because I remember the writer saying that A.D. has been around since the beginning and then they come up with Alex.
That moment in "Two and a Half Men," succeeded in one thing: making Chuck Lorre look petty. And don't get me started on the ending of "How I Met Your Mother." Makes me want to heave.
I agree 100% about Chuck Lorre. They had already fired Sheen over a substance abuse issue, but Lorre couldn't leave it alone. He had to add that snarky and nasty scene. Typical for a guy who loved to preach at viewers on his stupid vanity cards. The show stunk after Sheen left and I haven't watched another Lorre show since.
Bobby Ewing coming out of that shower should always number one!You have no idea how pissed the world was when that was revealed.Dallas was huge at the time.
I'm glad that you do do actual twists rather than simple plot developments. One you missed was Nardole becoming a regular in DOCTOR WHO, which wildly misjudged how to apply comedy in the format; it counts as a twist because the character was definitely dead ('I'm an archaeologist from the future. I dug you up')
Let's not forget that St. Elsewhere's ending not only made the whole series pointless and implied that Cheers and Homicide: Life on the Street were also imaginary, but it also set the precedent that anything else that came after in these franchises was also not real. So that means: no Frasier, no Law & Order (any of them), no Chicago P.D., Fire or Med. Basically, it set up an entire cinematic universe in the mind of one random boy. Which really amps up the "in his own world" statement to slightly ridiculous degrees.
I actually hated how Lost ended overall, even more so than the whole "they were all dead waiting in a church to move on" trope, no it really pissed me off to see the missed opportunity of having Jacob the evil one wanting to keep everyone trapped on the island and suffer in a sort of Hell, and Man in Black/Smoke Monster the savior wanting to rescue everyone while finally able to destroy the island! So, the show ended well enough in season 5, end of the story.
The HIMYM plot twist makes sense as you can argue that Ted's 9 seasons long story was more about Robin than the mother. But the writers didn't take into account that fans already moved on and were too invested in the mother.
@@TalesWithHaggis Idk... Bran becoming King, Khaleesi turning bad and then killed, Aria killing the Night King... Those were things no one was expecting. Bad writing is definitely the root cause, but I still see them as twists.
As much as I also hate the Batman Beyond reveal, I haltingly admit it was sorted needed to build Amanda Waller’s character. Showing the darkest choices she was willing to make to ensure the world that she would meet her definition of “The Greater Good”
I can easily think of One Awful TV Plot Twist, The Reveal that Grogar was Actually Discord in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic's Final Season. Because Not only were we promised The Real Grogar from The Start of Season 9 (which turned out too be a Lie,) but it also ruins Discord's Character Development. And instead of Grogar being The Main Antagonist towards The Final Episodes, we just get Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow being The Main Villains.
I can’t believe that you DIDN’T put the whole bullshit of Jhon “TARGARIEN” Snow from Game of Thrones… a plot that ended up meaning nothing but a disapointment…
Jon being a Targaryen was planned all along by GRRM and was arguably the biggest storyline in the show. Blame Dan and Dave for completely botching the ending to the show
This needs to be updated after Manifest. An 8 months pregnant policewoman buying the abandoned building next to the place where some 150 people are unfairly imprisoned in order to excavate a hole in the communicating wall and help them escape should qualify as one of the dumbest plot twists in tv shows ever for a variety of reasons: - The prison is tightly guarded from the outside, and no guard ever catches anything - No other relative, friend or advocate to 150 people unfairly convicted for several months ever thought of this solution - she buys the building under the name of a fake enterprise, but she doesn't even bother disguising herself, and gives the coverage enterprise her own surname - for God's sake, you shouldn't use a jackhammer while pregnant! In conclusion, it's so dumb that it works, it's so dumb that it turns out genius.
There were definitely worse PLl plots that where bad. Wren’s death and being turned into a Diamond by Spencer’s twin she suddenly has long lost comes to mind.
I love once upon a time, but the final twist of the last season, that the final bad guy is the wish realm of Rumpelstiltskin, making rumple fight himself, was kinda lame.
How I Met Your Mother: the writers painted themselves into a corner by sticking with the footage they made of the ending with Ted’s future kids several seasons before the last one (since their actors would have grown too old had they waited until the last season.)
The timeless children that's all I need to say about the worst TV plot twist. For those of you who have seen it I think you'll agree it's by far the worst plot twist that has aired on television.
I remember this one from Friends Rachel and Joey get together you knew it wasn't going to last it were better if Rachel and Ross got together cuz it seemed well setup for that then it did a 180 with an unlikely couple. I mean what?
Revenge started so good and then yeah it went off the rails. HIMYM...yeah. I understand that they had that idea from the start, and they even filmed the kids part at the end of season 1 so they "wouldn't age", but after years of pushing on us that T & R weren't good for each other, to pull the bait and switch was annoying, especially seeing how great Cristin Milioti was. Even more so the fact that the finale was just rushed through. Maybe if we had seen the finale timeline play out over at least part of a season, it wouldn't have shocked us so much. There is the alternate ending out there that should honestly be used as true ending. I've thought about taking the episode and alternate ending and editing them together. Just for my own enjoyment.
@@ciaranmcloughlin7165 I'm not disputing that it was awful and contrived, and I think most fans of the show would agree. I'm just saying that it doesn't belong in this list, simply because it wasn't a plot twist. The show literally spent several seasons planting the seeds of Joey and Rachel eventually becoming a couple, regardless of how well it worked or was received.
I watched the Dallas episode where Bobby died. My mom was crying…and then when he came back to life she was wildly upset. That was crazy. But lost…no…that show deserved a better ending…
I think Coulson's resurection wasn't a bad twist, or unnecessary because without him the show wouldn't have been created. He was the core of aos, and his resurection with kree blood leaded to Daisy's/Skye's inhuman origin.
The Finale of ReBoot! In fact, the season that lead to it as a whole! The games became a side attraction, Dot increasingly became my least favorite character and, on top of it, having Megabyte come back in such an elaborate way was a veritable slap to the face from this otherwise fantastic series. Worst of all, Guardian Code considered canon? I don't think so!
HIMYM was hard to accept because the mother was excellent and it kinda ruined the whole show after investing 8 seasons of a magnificent show. Other than the mother, season 9 was so forgettable.
Rebecca, it was so painfully obvious what number 1 was going to be. So obvious in fact that I just skipped right through the rest of the video because EVERYTHING has been said about that twist.
#15- HELL NO! If anything that reveal made the show BETTER because of the drama it created. The only BS thing in that show was it’s finale. David shoots Victoria INSTEAD OF AMANDA AND Amanda almost dies but gets part of Victoria’s heart implanted in her as part of Charlotte’s revenge against Amanda. WTF!?! I’m a massive stan of that show if you couldn’t already tell, but that ending was SO DUMB!
Nancy staying with Steve in Season 1 of Stranger Things isn’t a plot twist. It’s a character decision. A plot twist changes the entire outcome of a story or character arch. This didn’t do either. There’s a huge difference between a plot twist and a character decision.
Given the option of Jonathan who took pictures of Nancy nearly naked without her consent and Steve who had awful friends he should have stopped the choice is clear and it’s not the pervert stalker
The plot twist in Sherlock was alright. Yes , it was a little far fetched but I'm pretty sure no one predicted that all those three were the same woman.
i think they missed what the sherlock series is all about. A long-running series finale villain was never its thing. So i could see how it annoyed original fans. but standalone it is a little lazy but it kinda works.

What do YOU think was the worst TV plot twist? Let us kn ow in the comments!
Ok
I think the Simpsons one was pretty bad
I didn't mind the Batman Beyond one.
When gossip girl was blackmailing himself it was Georgina but she got caught
CBS kills the mother in How I Met Your Mother.
Turns out Ted was a widower the whole time. Wow. And I thought Robin was the mother - - BUT…she can’t have kids and then we had to wait longer to meet the mother. It was the worst season finale I ever saw. Worst than the finale for Two and a Half Men.
Best thing about the "Rachel and Joey thing" was Ross's "i'm fine" 😅
I’m no fan of Ross. But there was so much wrong with that Charlie Rachel arc that I even felt bad for him
This is crazy because I just finished the episode where she says yes to joey
My family still says "OVEN MITTS!!" Anytime anyone is doing anything with the oven!!! Oh Ross!!! Lol
Pivot!
@@kingofmonsters14 YES!!!!!!
Fun fact, not even Matt and Jennifer (Joey and Rachel’s actors) liked that idea
Nice
Nobody did
Who could blame them? It was forced.
@@ciaranmcloughlin7165 just before the last season started
None of thr Friends cast liked it. Thank god the writers came to their senses.
Himym’s ending would be a lot easier to accept if Barney and Robin never got together and season 9 didn’t revolve around their pointless marriage
That’s honestly the thing i hated the most ab the show
The HIMYM plot twist makes sense as you can argue that Ted's 9 seasons long story was more about Robin than the mother. But the writers didn't take into account that fans already moved on and were too invested in the mother.
Yeah I would've liked the ending more if Robin and Barney never got engaged. The Proposal was too epic to diminish with an offscreen divorce
Actually the ending was shot waaaay before so they had to somehow match the rest of the final season with it. That's y it looks soo abrupt and patched up. It wasn't natural
I can agree with that.

We used to hate him, but now, he’s a fan favorite
And he’s my favorite single mom
@@Karlebow571, OMG, HE"S A BABYSITTER, NOT MOM. He even tells Nancy that he is a terrible boyfriend, but a great BABYSITTER. Mom doesn't equal babysitter.
@@projectpat8807 Jesus. Calm down. He's a good caretaker. That's it.
It did make some sense though bc in high school, teens tend to choose the wrong person

Of course he did! They had amazing Chemistry!
Of course he had. Chandler had more chemistry with Joey than Monica

Plus he saved her life lol
The Connors winning the lottery hit me so hard back in the day! They destroyed what was so special and relatable about the show 🤦♀️
Pretty shocked that the entire last season of Game of Thrones wasn’t on here. Like the 180 the writers did and the way they ruined the arcs of several key characters with some awful reveals was pretty shameful.
They didn;t have the blueprints of the novels to rely on anymore, so they had to make it up as they went along.
@@colleen4ever That can be said of everything after the death of John Snow. It's why the show slowly declined in quality after that point. All the backlash against the final season makes me glad I stopped watching after John's resurrection by the power of fan girls I mean of an unnamed god.

Yeah, I didn't get that either!.
Couldnt agree more, mate.

No no no

Agreed. Yes they’re killing one of the most beloved characters offscreen
Little fun fact : both , Matt Leblanc and Jennifer Aniston , hated the "Rachel and Joey's arc" and this is one of the reason why this couple sucks and why that story was the most useless on the show
The way they tried to fix it by ending the relationship immediately was stupid as hell too
But it's a slap in the face
Joey would have been better off with Phoebe. Why didn't they ever explore that possibility?
The twin twist of Alex Drake on pretty little liars still has me shaking my head
Yes!! That twist was definitely bad. Allison being alive actually made sense and you're led to that idea throughout the seasons. You're definitely not led to the idea that Spenser has a twin. And it's frustrating because I remember the writer saying that A.D. has been around since the beginning and then they come up with Alex.
For real though, I never could get myself to re-watch HIMYM after that disappointing ending
Family Guy killing off Brian, then bringing him back.
That moment in "Two and a Half Men," succeeded in one thing: making Chuck Lorre look petty.
And don't get me started on the ending of "How I Met Your Mother." Makes me want to heave.
I agree 100% about Chuck Lorre. They had already fired Sheen over a substance abuse issue, but Lorre couldn't leave it alone. He had to add that snarky and nasty scene. Typical for a guy who loved to preach at viewers on his stupid vanity cards. The show stunk after Sheen left and I haven't watched another Lorre show since.
Rachel and Joey was creepy....like a brother and sister getting together
You're saying Game Of Thrones is creepy?
Wait, so if Agent Coulson can get revived
What about Quicksilver?
Could still have been an emotional Avengers moment if Coulson had been turned into a newt. Turns up on Agents of SHIELD and says "I got better..."
Himym is 100% the worst
But, I feel like you’re misunderstanding what plot twists are because some of these are not plot twists (friends for example)
The series finale is a perfect example on why FRIENDS is better than HIMYM
It's not but hey you do you
The ending was decent. Also the ending should not determine how good the rest of the series is
The season finale was better but what sealed the deal was all of season 9 of HIMYM. Which was just ridiculously mismanaged
Horrible Series Finale, the last season was bad all together
nelky martinez Which show are you talking about
I'm thinking they dropped a piano on Charlie on "Two and a Half Men" because they couldn't do it in real life. 😆
So you think people with substance abuse issues should be killed?
So nice of you.
@@pattierotondo1108 No, of course not. Just a bit of dark humor. Because if I don't laugh, I'll start crying and may never stop.
Video suggestion:
Top storylines or things from Marvel comics that shouldn't be adapted into the MCU.
Bobby Ewing coming out of that shower should always number one!You have no idea how pissed the world was when that was revealed.Dallas was huge at the time.

THANK YOU!!! I can’t rewatch HIMYM over either and I won’t ever forgive them.
How was the agents of shield “plot twist” one of the worst ever? It created one of the best and most underrated shows of all time
The show was made because people were pissed that Coulson died in Avengers. It’s not a plot twist, it’s the core of the show.
And it didn't turn into a fallback that they could always use to bring characters back.
Finally someone agrees on that. It was not that great but later became worth watching.
Let's not forget that St. Elsewhere's ending not only made the whole series pointless and implied that Cheers and Homicide: Life on the Street were also imaginary, but it also set the precedent that anything else that came after in these franchises was also not real. So that means: no Frasier, no Law & Order (any of them), no Chicago P.D., Fire or Med. Basically, it set up an entire cinematic universe in the mind of one random boy. Which really amps up the "in his own world" statement to slightly ridiculous degrees.
Now I understand the metahumor on News Radio. They did one throwaway joke where Jimmy James is perceiving the station's reality in a little toy.
this was a interesting list of the worst plot twists in TV shows
Keep it up on your work and this channel
What about Sunset Beach when it is revealed that the whole series was a dream
YES! It made me so mad!
I actually hated how Lost ended overall, even more so than the whole "they were all dead waiting in a church to move on" trope, no it really pissed me off to see the missed opportunity of having Jacob the evil one wanting to keep everyone trapped on the island and suffer in a sort of Hell, and Man in Black/Smoke Monster the savior wanting to rescue everyone while finally able to destroy the island!

The HIMYM plot twist makes sense as you can argue that Ted's 9 seasons long story was more about Robin than the mother. But the writers didn't take into account that fans already moved on and were too invested in the mother.
No mention of Quantum Leap’s finale twist? I think that’s the worst of all!
I really expected Zelena pretending to be Marian for almost a whole season and practically raping Robin on Once Upon a Time to be on this list.
Forgot about Game of Thrones... Possibly my least favorite ending! Had the worst twists EVER in the last season.
It wasn't as much a twist as it was poor writing in general.
@@TalesWithHaggis Idk... Bran becoming King, Khaleesi turning bad and then killed, Aria killing the Night King... Those were things no one was expecting. Bad writing is definitely the root cause, but I still see them as twists.
After season 6 the show got ahead of martins work so the writers were off on their own. That’s when it went to pot.
As much as I also hate the Batman Beyond reveal, I haltingly admit it was sorted needed to build Amanda Waller’s character. Showing the darkest choices she was willing to make to ensure the world that she would meet her definition of “The Greater Good”

I have to disagree with Agent of Shield. This showed how important Coulson was and I love AOS.

Jon being a Targaryen was planned all along by GRRM and was arguably the biggest storyline in the show. Blame Dan and Dave for completely botching the ending to the show
at the end of Dexter I bawled like a baby... UNTIL that dang scene! I was SO mad!
The coulson one on this list was bullshit. It was written great and had lasting affects on his character for almost 2 seasons
This needs to be updated after Manifest.
An 8 months pregnant policewoman buying the abandoned building next to the place where some 150 people are unfairly imprisoned in order to excavate a hole in the communicating wall and help them escape should qualify as one of the dumbest plot twists in tv shows ever for a variety of reasons:
- The prison is tightly guarded from the outside, and no guard ever catches anything
- No other relative, friend or advocate to 150 people unfairly convicted for several months ever thought of this solution
- she buys the building under the name of a fake enterprise, but she doesn't even bother disguising herself, and gives the coverage enterprise her own surname
- for God's sake, you shouldn't use a jackhammer while pregnant!
In conclusion, it's so dumb that it works, it's so dumb that it turns out genius.
Sherlock's plot twist is not bad.. I really liked her for being more sly than Sherlock
The twist itself is fine...but it lead to a SAW movie rather than a clever mystery show :/
I still hate that Dan was Gossip Girl.
I must admit, that St. Elsewhere twist is one of the funniest things I've ever heard about
Was it Dynasty: The Colbys that had the flying saucer abduction ending?
Now THAT was awful!
There were definitely worse PLl plots that where bad. Wren’s death and being turned into a Diamond by Spencer’s twin she suddenly has long lost comes to mind.
OMG I hated the Rachel and Joey thing so much.
Himym truly fits top
I love once upon a time, but the final twist of the last season, that the final bad guy is the wish realm of Rumpelstiltskin, making rumple fight himself, was kinda lame.

Funny that stranger things (2) and agents of shield (1) were back to back Bc those r my two all time favorite shows
I love all the old shows on here very cultured! so many people forget about the old shows
The timeless children that's all I need to say about the worst TV plot twist. For those of you who have seen it I think you'll agree it's by far the worst plot twist that has aired on television.
I don't watch Dexter and even I think the way they ended it was absolutely ridiculous. Not surprised every fan was pissed.
Is it considered a plot twist that Brandon stark became king at the end of game of thrones? Cuz that was horrible.
bran da broken
I remember this one from Friends Rachel and Joey get together you knew it wasn't going to last it were better if Rachel and Ross got together cuz it seemed well setup for that then it did a 180 with an unlikely couple. I mean what?
I totally agree with your number 1....I’m still disgusted about that
Revenge started so good and then yeah it went off the rails.
HIMYM...yeah. I understand that they had that idea from the start, and they even filmed the kids part at the end of season 1 so they "wouldn't age", but after years of pushing on us that T & R weren't good for each other, to pull the bait and switch was annoying, especially seeing how great Cristin Milioti was. Even more so the fact that the finale was just rushed through. Maybe if we had seen the finale timeline play out over at least part of a season, it wouldn't have shocked us so much. There is the alternate ending out there that should honestly be used as true ending. I've thought about taking the episode and alternate ending and editing them together. Just for my own enjoyment.
Yeah Joey and Rachel was dumb. It feels like the writers were running out of ideas.
Dany’s villain turn in GoT. Not necessarily the turn itself, but the build to it.
Rachel and Joey getting together wasn't a plot twist.
It was still forced though.
@@ciaranmcloughlin7165 Yes, but this list isn't the Top 20 Forced TV Romances.
@@bryanc1984 true, but it doesn't mean it wasn't an awful idea or contrived.
@@ciaranmcloughlin7165 I'm not disputing that it was awful and contrived, and I think most fans of the show would agree. I'm just saying that it doesn't belong in this list, simply because it wasn't a plot twist. The show literally spent several seasons planting the seeds of Joey and Rachel eventually becoming a couple, regardless of how well it worked or was received.
@@bryanc1984 I suppose you have a point. It wasn't really a twist. Just a bad creative choice.
I watched the Dallas episode where Bobby died. My mom was crying…and then when he came back to life she was wildly upset. That was crazy. But lost…no…that show deserved a better ending…
Agents of Shield definitely doesn't belong on this list. One of the best shows EVER!
St. Elsewhere REALLY pissed me off.
I think Coulson's resurection wasn't a bad twist, or unnecessary because without him the show wouldn't have been created. He was the core of aos, and his resurection with kree blood leaded to Daisy's/Skye's inhuman origin.
I like the how I met your mother episode rewatching a second time. I only wish the mother’s death had more impact they kinda rushed through that
I’m triggered that Principal Skinner isn’t number 1
I’m not, but I agree with you. It’s a really bad twist, but I didn’t see it coming
The number one was the worst ending that could ever happen. Even to this day, I still hate the choice.
It's for nothing
Newhart (the show about the hotel) was all a dream by Bob Newhart in the Newhart show from 1972.
I disagree with the heroes and Batman beyond there okay 👍 but everything else sure💁
The Finale of ReBoot! In fact, the season that lead to it as a whole! The games became a side attraction, Dot increasingly became my least favorite character and, on top of it, having Megabyte come back in such an elaborate way was a veritable slap to the face from this otherwise fantastic series. Worst of all, Guardian Code considered canon? I don't think so!
HIMYM was hard to accept because the mother was excellent and it kinda ruined the whole show after investing 8 seasons of a magnificent show. Other than the mother, season 9 was so forgettable.
I couldn't accept Dexter becoming a Lumberjack either.
Why the hell is Game of Thrones not in this!?!?! Daenerys Targaryen turning bad should be number one in plot twist disappointment.
Rebecca, it was so painfully obvious what number 1 was going to be. So obvious in fact that I just skipped right through the rest of the video because EVERYTHING has been said about that twist.
#15- HELL NO! If anything that reveal made the show BETTER because of the drama it created. The only BS thing in that show was it’s finale. David shoots Victoria INSTEAD OF AMANDA AND Amanda almost dies but gets part of Victoria’s heart implanted in her as part of Charlotte’s revenge against Amanda. WTF!?! I’m a massive stan of that show if you couldn’t already tell, but that ending was SO DUMB!
"Somehow, Palpatine returned"
First responders Assemble!
Gotta love Ross " we were on a break!!!!!!! " 🤣
Buffy having Dawn as a sister is what polarized a lot of fans. That came completely out of the blue.
i though about watching Dexter and HIMYM even knowing the endings but those endings made me glad to know not to
waste my time
Nancy staying with Steve in Season 1 of Stranger Things isn’t a plot twist. It’s a character decision. A plot twist changes the entire outcome of a story or character arch. This didn’t do either. There’s a huge difference between a plot twist and a character decision.
Given the option of Jonathan who took pictures of Nancy nearly naked without her consent and Steve who had awful friends he should have stopped the choice is clear and it’s not the pervert stalker
For number 13, while I do agree it is unnecissary, it is something I would expect Amanda Waller to do.
Agents of SHIELD has to take place in a different reality, since it has developments that create bigger and bigger fissures between it and the movies.
I thing the ending of "Newheart" and the flashback to the old "Bob Newheart Show" was the greatest - although that's another list!
I'm still waiting for you to do the 20 animated movie plot twists. Not much Disney.
The plot twist in Sherlock was alright. Yes , it was a little far fetched but I'm pretty sure no one predicted that all those three were the same woman.
i think they missed what the sherlock series is all about. A long-running series finale villain was never its thing. So i could see how it annoyed original fans. but standalone it is a little lazy but it kinda works.
