Lillard announced from the beginning that he was Afton. That’s why he tweeted “I always come back”, a phrase exclusively associated with the Purple Guy.

"It's absurd that Giselle survived her brutal fall from the plane at the end of the sixth movie" This is *FAST AND FURIOUS* we're talking about. The word "absurd" doesn't exist in their dictionary.

Also for Exorcist: Believer - It was so weird how they just brushed over Catherine being dragged to hell. It happens and immediately after, the movie tries to end on a hopeful note. Like an innocent child being dragged to hell isn't horrific??

Suprised the latest Kingsman didn't make it. It was pretty clear who the secret villain was almost immediately upon seeing there alter ego.

“It’s absurd that Giselle survived her brutal fall…” Nothing is absurd when you have FAMILY.

FNAF's twist didn't fall flat with me. Even if it was predictable (it's a kid's movie, so I'm not upset), I loved the meta joke of the fact that, MatPat claimed for years that phone guy was William Afton. In the games, he very, very isn't. But having that actually be true here is fucking hilarious. Scott trolled everyone for paying attention. And having dream theory be a plot point was even funnier. The only thing that could have topped it was if Foxy was actually secretly on Mike's side the whole time. That'd be the trifecta of popular wrong fan theories.

As a requel, Scream 5 was meant to somewhat replicate what happened in Scream 1. Thus, you have the love interest being the killer in both... Go to Scream 6, where the characters are in college, just like Scream 2. In both, you have a pissed off family member upset that their son has died and they want revenge. While it might not be a flashy, OMG! reveal, it was the first time we had three killers, and the motive follows their movie counterpart (Scream 2). Personally, I had no issue with the reveals in either of the newer Screams... As long as a long-lost, unknown relative doesn't show up in Scream 7, I'll be happy... 😃

Nah nobody expected GI joe to pop up in transformers because there hasn't been any crossovers in recent times, I hope they truck on through and make a quality film, that's all I hope for 😂

The Blackening is satirical… you’re looking at it way too seriously.

Even for people who havnt had he fnsf timeline memorised for a decade. The opening animated sequence literally tell you the twist. (Assuming you know Matthew lillard by name)

Glad to see Scream 6 on here because after watching it, I could not understand why it was being so highly praised. It was predictable from beginning to end and the fact that the body count was so low and not a single major character died, not even Gail who, lbr, should have been sacrificed to at least lend some authenticity, made it even more underwhelming. The Blackening, on the other hand, was surprisingly highly entertaining and since it was satire, I think everything played out exactly as it should have. The iPhone wasn't even the biggest give away. When the lady ran into Clifton at the gas station and she couldn't really remember him and then later the rest of the group also barely remembered him yet no one questioned who or why he was invited was a deliberate trope to show how horror movie characters overlook such glaring warning signs. He may as well have been wearing a bullseye with bright red arrows pointing at him.

What if all the characters in the Fast and Furious franchise are now dead and all the recent movies are set in some sort of afterlife.

I watch whatculture all the time and I believe the mention of "The Blackening" is THE FIRST majority black cast comedy I've EVER SEEN on any of their videos! Thank you for recognizing a comedy from a minority group

The real twist in Exorcist: Believer was that the father choose to save his wife yet his child made it and not his wife. The daughter switch at the end mirrors that deal. It's just a bad movie though.

was the fnaf twist even meant to be a twist? I thought it was more like a nice wink to the fans, just about everybody who vaguely knows about fnaf knew something like that was coming, same with the main character's name.

why is FNaF even on this list? that wasnt a twist *for us* it was for the characters 😅

For the fast and furious one they got an excuse. They got the power of FAMILY 😂

HI ADAM

FNAF's reveal didn't fall flat for me but I still already knew who he was going in. In June, I had seen the cast list and his name was already attached to the actor. It wasn't until after that it was changed to his alias. So for anyone who saw the early cast list, it was already revealed

Why does the Five Nights reveal have to be a shocking twist? Like what was said, we all knew Afton was going to show up somehow. If they'd kept his identity a secret just by excluding him from the trailers, people would've picked that apart, too. Additionally, they already set everything up from the very first meeting between "Steve" and Mike by having Steve trip up over Mike's last name.

Nobody went into FNAF *not* expecting that reveal, it was obvious.

I thought the twist at the end of 'The Flash' was the absolute best scene in the movie, due to Ezra Miller's perfectly timed response to seeing who was playing Bruce Wayne. My sons and I were laughing hysterically.

But I loved George Clooney's cameo in THE FLASH It made me laugh my as off

Amazing video Adam from what culture of weak twist in somewhat good movies,fantastic job. I was done with transformers thanks to transformers the last knight and I was kind lead down with transformers rise of the beast too.

I don't agree with Scream being on this list 🤔

Matthew Lillard was said to have been playing William Afton many weeks before the movie even came out. So including it as number 1 is incredibly fucking asinine.

Never heard of the iPhone thing, that’s crazy. It makes me like the inclusion of it in the blackening more

In Madame Web, Ezekiel unmasking is Tobey Maguire 😂

Villains can use iPhones though. In Fate of the Furious, Cypher is seen using an iPhone. In the scene at the beginning, when she shows Dom her phone, you can clearly see the Apple Logo on the back of the phone.

As many times that James Gordon has told people that flash was the final movie. People STILL wondered is Clooney will be his Batman. Smh Jesus Christ

.... I mean, everyone already knew Lillard was Afton so it wasn't a *twist* at all. Fans already knew what was going on... I genuinely don't see why you added FNAF to this list. It's a literally Non-twist... 🤷

Lillard was perfect as Afton, the movie was fun from start to end but that was NOT a 'plot twist'.

As son as the lad got the suit in Transformers, my first thought was this is like that movie that got Chris Rock slapped then remembered that was G.I Jane not Joe

I did not know that about Apple so that would not have clued me in, especially as an Android user who is not a fan of Apple for a myriad of reasons(I still love my iPod though). I think it's hilarious that an evil corporation worries about coming off as the product of choice for evil doers. Also, the Fast Franchise is just straight up urban fantasy. After the 3 or 4th movie they didn't even try to come close to anything realistic. I don't think anyone that loves that franchise expects anything different, including deaths to stick. If anything, the more outlandish they get, the more fun it is. They didn't jump the shark, they invited it to the family cook out.

If you know the FNAF franchise, you knew the ‘twist’

Wow just wow I expect better from a channel I respected.

I quit Transformers after 'Age Of Extinction' and with Paramount seemingly desperately for sales, I'm glad I did

Wrong! The real twist in FNAF was figuring out whether Afton ALSO killed Mike's brother 😂

In Modine's defence, an Anders also destroyed Kirkwall

Who the hell knew Apple won't let villains use their phones in movies?

I had to watch fnaf with a dozen teens, they lost their damn minds with that reveal.

While I hate that Giselle was shown to have survived, it's not impossible that she couldn't have. Owen Shaw was shown to survive his fate so it makes sense that she could've as well.

I watched fnaf with a couple of teenagers. While I enjoyed seeing lilard ham it up with some stu vibes one onf the teens genuinely didn't see it coming, my guess is they haven't seen scream. So based on its a movie for the fans and teens, I think the twist worked as even though I knew going in that was the twist seeing a friend being surprised that it was him made it even better.

FNAF's twist was fine. The film had to walk a very fine line, similar to comic book movies: it has to appeal to people who know the franchise and people who don't. If you know nothing of the franchise, finding out who Jessica is and who Afton is are both decent twists. You know he's up to /something/, but when you learn about the ghosts you might presume he's sending people to die for any reason. Fans went in looking for errors in the story, and it wouldn't be the first time that a creative team may try to deviate from the source material. So while the twist was obvious to us, it was a "twist of relief": Yes, we saw it coming, but also, thank Freddy they didn't decide to make Mike an amnesiac killer or his sister a figment of his imagination or Jessica into the real villain.

Granted, I haven't seen The Blackening yet but that can't be the 'obvious' reason he's secretly the killer as general audiences probably aren't going to know about the iPhone rule

Also, there's an Expendables FOUR!? I didn't even realize there was a three!

The Blackening is satire and we all knew Clifton was the antagonist from the get go as soon as it was established that none of the other characters knew his name... We stayed watching because we wanted to find out why and we were not disappointed.

I was so disappointed in Five Nights at Freddy’s. The missing children was hinted at in the game but wasn’t the reason behind the behavior of the animatronics. Then came the reveal of who was responsible which, once it became clear that the focus was on the missing kids, was very apparent. I actually rolled my eyes.

How did the fnaf ending fall flat? That's the frigging whole storyline of fnaf in the first place

I don't agree on Scream 6. I liked it. 🤷‍♂️

The Blackening is a horror comedy making fun of horror movies, so the obvious twist is part of the joke.

I have to say. The FNAF movie is decent but it would be ten times better if they make William Afton the main character instead of Michael. Kinda like Godfather movie where the main protagonist is the bad guy all along who fall from grace. Plus making the animatronic as the bad guy is the wrong step because the story is more to William and Michael Afton rather than animatronic itself.

The blackening's twist was supposed to be obvious. It's satire. That's why it's funny.

Can you even call Afton a twist?

The iPhone wasn't why Clifton being the villain was obvious in The Blackening. It was obvious because he was the only one who pushed everyone to play the game when they didn't want to. They also focused on him in certain shots that just screamed "he's behind this". I called it right after they got locked in the game room because of this. Also the real twist in exorcist believer was that Leslie Odom Jrs character chose the wife over his daughter, not that Catherine got dragged to hell.

A this rate the next F&F movie will have Vince and Jessie coming back from the dead as well.

The Blackening doesn't belong on this list. Clifford was obvious from the get go cuz no one invited him and barely even remembered who he was. He was the odd man out, so it was obvious and I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be since this movie is satirical. Did y'all run out of movies to fill up the list?? 🤨

Fire who ever made this list. Scream didn’t belong on it. It could have been the blonde FBI agent

Thank you Adam, amazing commentary as always. I am so tired of characters coming back to life in diferent ways, it got so old long time ago.

I actually really liked Rise of the Beasts.

I hate that iphone thing. It ruins certain twists for me because if a character is using android I just assume that they're a baddie unless specified otherwise... Made me constantly question Spider-Man for using a sony phone every single time. He's probably the baddie not gonna lie.

Oh my GOD I have been avoiding all spoilers for The Blackening until I watched it 😩 I am pretty slow at watching movies and had kindly forgotten about this one until I started to watch Alanda Parker's (sub, just DO EEIT) reaction and decided to wait as here recently I've been bummed about spoiling some movies for myself. Actually what finally did me in was spoiling Talk to Me. The regret is still real. Anyway In don't blame What Culture (tho I do remember these twists lists including just the movie title with their numbers rather than the twist + title but I digress lol). I did it to myself 😑

I really don’t understand why you’d want to ever put an iPhone in anything if it can only go in the good guys hands, especially a horror/mystery movie 😂 like if your doing a modern day mystery just give everyone shitty phones, it’s really not that hard lmao

iPhones what? That's the silliest thing I've ever heard lol. The smartest character in most movies is the antagonist.

im gonna make a horror movie where everyone has android phones EXCEPT the killer :"D he or she will have an apple phone

Who in christ is gonna know about the iphone thing 😂

the blackening...? fail

“Scream” nah I yawned 🥱

I thought FNAF did really well, actually.

Scream 6 twist didn’t fall flat

Scream won’t be good until Stu comes back

Loved the fnaf movie

I'd be upset if Gal Gadot came back from the dead too.

I feel like The Flash gets bashed because its just the cool thing to do. Bash the DCEU and especially any Ezra Miller vehicle. It's inclusion on this list, is that. The Clooney twist did not fall flat. It caught you completely by surprise as it was supposed to.

Seems like whoever made this list was completely out of touch with these movies. Lol

#4 Because the villain usually has the superior tech.

William Afton isn’t a twist.

I need people to know, when I realized the whole movies lowkey shattered for me. We all know Fast and furious is just pushing it now BUT Giselle being a like does kinda makes sense because in the same movie just a little after Owen Shaw fell from OUT of the plane which was higher than Giselle fell and survive. So in turn if Owen survived (albeit barely) than Giselle DEFINITELY should’ve have survived too. I realized this when they were rerunning the movies before I watched Fast X so going in, in my mind, I knew she was alive

BRUH. The ending of The Flash with George Clooney was hilarious and I absolutely loved that little nod to the least liked film of the franchise. I'm 95% certain that was just supposed to be a joke.

For number one, I was frantically thinking to myself "Matthew Willard... I know that name, who's Matthew Willard again...? URRRGGH!!" And then, right as he appeared on the screen in the clip, I went "Oh yeah...SHAGGY!" And that somehow just made the 'plot twist' seem even sillier.

Why the fuck is scream 6 on here

sometimes i wonder (it was kinda my problem with WhatCulture before) with this negative vibe, are they looking for things to say are sh1t, or something. some valid arguments in this video, but does it make the entire movie fall flat? no. dissapointing, Whatculture.

FNAF was way too obvious. They had only introduced like 3 adult characters.

isnt David Gordon Green the same loser who ruined the last two Halloween movies?

I will give you Ethan and the dad and scream sex but Let's be honest, no one thought that the girl who got her neck slit open at the beginning of the movie was 1 of The Killers... And to give the half a** answer of oh, we never saw her got stabbed is really lame because we literally see the same thing in this exact same movie with another character who does end up being dead. We also see lots of people get stabbed a s*** ton of times that should be dead That aren't dead so To try and play that off. As a reason why you were tipped off that she was a killer is just you having hindsight and trying to lie to yourself about it.

Retribution was just bad full stop

I called FNAF's twist. Soon as Lillard started saying his last name. Which like, isn't really a BAD thing. but its more indicative of movies in general today. They're predictable now. They follow the same format. And, yes I understand keeping with what works and what not. But there is a reason the Writers are Striking, and its that predictability.

Do we seriously have the blackening on here? Clearly your the wrong audience 😅

Nah agree with all but Flash and Five nights of Freddy. Obviously DC fans are not that intelligent cause it was a call back

Fast 10 is terrible on so many levels

ALL THESE MOVIES SUCK‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
