It's quite clear in Con Air that Garland Greene experiences a moment of shakabuku with that little girl's tea party and is a reformed character at the end. My fanfic sequel to Con Air has a Greene copycat that ends up bringing Buscemi, Tommy Lee Jones, John Cusack, and Harrison Ford into a mashup of Fugitive and Con Air to find the real killer.

[@RobertGreenwald]

The Truman Show’s ending is darker than it seems. Truman may have left the dome and entered the real world, but he is still the most recognizable person on Earth. He will never have a normal life. He will be followed and photographed and hounded everywhere he goes. The only money he can make is from either writing books and doing interviews about the world he just escaped, or by suing the makers of his show for what he would be owed both from profits and them robbing him of a real life. The mental toll the experience would have on Truman is likely to cause severe anxiety, depression and possibly suicide.

[@heathermillsphantomlimb9314]

He’d have Sylvia, though. She could help him acclimate to the real world. He’d also be able to afford private security and isolate himself as much as possible, since he’d be entitled to any royalties and residuals made from the show. In reality, the creators and actors in the show would’ve been arrested ten times over for kidnapping, false imprisonment, and impersonating law enforcement officers. There’s so much wrong legally in that movie that it wouldn’t be possible to ever pull off. But, a trained monkey would be able to win Truman enough money to never have to work again and go anywhere on earth he wanted. He’d definitely have a lot of hurdles to jump through, but there’s worse ways to live.

I will add Bruce Willis' movie "Surrogates." At the end of the movie, his character deactivates all the surrogates, so that "people will be forced to leave their homes and interact in person." Except that most adults have surrogates doing their jobs. So, all the planes being flown by surrogate plots will crash, as will all the trains and busses, including school busses full of children, because child surrogates are illegal, so kids don't have them to go to school in their place. Also, all emergency vehicles will stop, including ambulances taking human patients to the hospital. Speaking of hospitals, all the surrogate doctors working on human patients will stop mid-operation. Even those surrogates that stop without causing deaths will be an issue, as the roads will be filled with an endless traffic jam of vehicles whose drivers stopped. It will take months to clear them out, during which time no food will be delivered, emergency services will be unable to respond, and utilities will be unable to be run. In addition, all the surrogate police and soldiers will shut down, leaving their weapons and other hardware easy pickings for criminals who either cannot afford a surrogate, or don't have one to avoid being traced, as well as enemy troops and terrorists getting their hands on advances US weapons. So, Bruce's character basically shut down human civilization because he felt lonely.

Doesn't even have to be a crucial or dangerous job - just the amount of people driving on the highways or through neighborhoods that suddenly couldn't control their vehicles for several minutes would be disastrous on a large scale alone, and that would be on top of the crucial and dangerous jobs that would cause even more disaster.

Since you asked my favourite Shyamalan film is The Village. It gets a lot of flack but I don’t really understand why. The “Night Twist” was the only one I genuinely didn’t see coming and it’s one of a few films that uses jump scares well. The acting, framing and cinematography in his films are always top notch. He’s clearly never going to be Hitchcock, who he’s clearly emulating, but you can’t say he shoots a film badly. His success/fail rate is probably about 1.5 in 10 but when he does land it he does in a big way. Unbreakable and The Village are good films. The rest are either disposable, nonsense, or insultingly bad (or all of the above). But all of his films do look good (except The Last Airbender and After Earth, that look like shit.

There was nothing special, interesting or compelling about the leads, and it was just about their survival. Contrast that to the same director's Independence Day. There we have multiple arcs to follow, those characters are charismatic, they come from different backgrounds, and while they are also trying to survive, they are trying to get others to survive as well. And because those people are inspirational, we care about them, we root for them. Even in The Day After Tomorroy, which is not a good film by any measure, we see the leads invested in doing good. 2012 is too grim and cynical for such a dumb movie. If it's about the lava, the waves and the absurd stunts, then make it fun. Leave the darkness for those who know how to properly convey it (hey, I love Melancholia).

[@otakonjunkie]

We didn't really see anything bad happen to Africa in 2012. The series it was based on heavily implied that it was, for whatever reason, basically okay. And that the people on the arcs were going to have to deal with them.

[@julesmasseffectmusic]

Meanwhile Australia has been reduced to only those who were sking the time. It's flat as buggery here.

[@holgerschrenk8827]

Independence Day: Yay, we defeated the aliens. All the major cities in every part of the world - gone (if not burned to a crisp they lay flattened under a humongous alien saucer). Hundreds of millions, probably billions of people - gone. Most of mankinds cultural achievements (arts, architecture, historical buildings, historical documents etc.) - gone. The political structure to organize the time after defeating the aliens - gone. The economic base to rebuild - gone. That's not how I envision a victory.

[@aceofspades9503]

but.... victory cigars! 🤣🤣

[@shanemulvey4065]

Also it was always brilliant to see nuclear man fly Hemmingway into space with no bother to her. If she survived the vaccume of Space, reentry would be rather difficult also.

[@batlokoasekhamane4813]

Kingsman 2 should have delved into the carnage. It would have been unique in the genre and everything would have felt more natural than what actually came to be

[@jonathansantiago5327]

Yeah, the 2012 problem… The writers actually killed any real hopes for a hopeful ending when they blew up Yellowstone. That sunny sunset will disappear.

[@focofox37]

Dont Worry Darling definitely ended with me asking a million questions. It was like the 1899 season cliff hanger...

[@guyfaux3978]

It's A Wonderful Life-- does George fire Billy like he knows he should?

[@randyk636]

SNL did a skit in the early 90’s with Dana Carvey doing his best Jimmy Stewart. In it, they figured out that Potter stole the money and the whole town storms his home to lynch him.

[@Marquisdre]

U missed that the highest elevation in Africa allowed people and animals to survive in 2012

[@bjam27]

Yeah they all run to the big mountain !!

[@Cameron5043]

The population of Africa in 2012 was 1,128,843,454

I feel like if superheroes and mutants were real, the regular citizens would have been pushed to extinction without all having Iron Man suits.

[@raineyhayes3821]

I just finished watching "Trick or Treat" (1982). Joan gets off scot free for sending Malcolm to an insane asylum just to start a relationship with another man. Her son, Christopher, is a spoiled brat who faces no accountability for his actions. On top of that, he'll probably get away with killing Linda because he used the original killer's knife and the police wouldn't be able to establish a motive for this murder. He probably also wouldn't be stupid enough to leave the knife handle unwiped afterwards. The killer was an enraged Malcolm who was actually insane but we have no way of knowing if he was insane before being sent to the insane asylum.

[@guillaumeroussel4634]

For me, I see Con Air like Steve Buchemi being the only one to be able to return to society because the society and him share the same madness. Cage have difficulties with her daughter

[@linda10989]

I hope the girl what played Eggsy's sister wasn't traumatized during that scene. She was only 3yo I'm guessing?

[@captainspaulding5963]

Yeahhhh, she wasn't in the scene. Do you know how movies work? Use child in the stroller, push stroller into the bathroom, CUT SCENE to include shots of a stroller with fake child in bathroom while door is behind broken

[@BradleyThomas-oc8nm]

Back to the Future 2 and Timecop should be on this list. Both characters mentally murdered and took over the present day versions of themselves. Everybody around them will be complete stranger's because of the changes in the timeline

[@danielmiller3596]

Middle aged people acting immaturely... meh. Fairly standard.

[@maurer3d]

Ferris Bueller's Day Off: I always viewed the movie as a fever dream caused by Cameron's sickness... So to me the car either never existed or is still sitting in the garage.

[@christorrence1114]

What about the people affected by the timeline change in Back to The Future? I'm sure some people ended up being negatively affected.

[@Batmanapplejax]

The ending of Back to the Future always seemed a little sad to me - sure, everyone else is happy, but you have no memory of your own life and the memories you do have are no longer real. Seems like a descent into depression or madness could be starting. Luckily he has Doc I guess

[@KevPage-Witkicker]

Snake saying f@ck you to the whole planet saved a poor sequel in one amazing scene.

[@drewbieware]

I know it’s an unpopular opinion, but I really liked The Lady in the Water. Seen it more than once.

[@carouselcakes6237]

I love that film & I’m truly baffled by all the hate for it.

[@ericthompson3982]

I absolutely love it. It's a bizarre, lovely faerie tale with just some of the weirdest, most wonderful characters. I've never understood the hate, either.

[@bigtiredpotato]

With Escape From L.A., that's the whole purpose. Snake is fed up with the human race's constant widespread violence via technological weapons. He declared humanity didn't deserve technology and he was right.

[@LouisPeppie]

You need to watch THE MIST. Most devastating ending of all time.

[@AWeirdoNamedKieraDaley]

Eh, Charles is in love with Erik so I can give him a pass for forgiving him ❤

[@DeMan300]

It's a good thing that Billy madison apologized to Garland Green for his bowling. Since it took him off his list.

[@Cameron5043]

The population of Africa in 2012 was 1,128,843,454. And it states that Africa was untouched in the catastrophe. So they had a lot more survivors and hope to work with than that American/European centric estimation you just gave of 2012.

[@lpgodin2]

I think that Superman reverting the rotation of the earth in the first movie is much worse than moving the moon...

[@NoticeVids]

Whats the movie at 05:11?

[@i.b.640]

Still Superman 4

[@NoticeVids]

​@i.b.640 it's goes from Superman and it says Warner bros in the corner, to a boat movie with a big wave and it says Sony Pictures in the corner, and then back to Superman with Warner Bros in the corner. So the middle movie is different.

[@troylovel6714]

i could be mistaking but i think that is the cruse boat from 2012

[@NoticeVids]

​@troylovel6714 yes it is, I just looked it up and found the scene. Thank you.

[@troylovel6714]

@@NoticeVids no problem

[@aguasanta]

The serial killer from con air could be an excellent sequel.

[@shannonmiller8396]

I literally never even knew there was a "Superman 4". From the looks of it, that's probably a good thing.

It's terrible.

Is ghosts of mars not escape from LA’s sequel

[@IanM-id8or]

The true consequences of the end of Superman IV: The Quest for Something Vaguely Resembling a Storyline are that there would be no more Superman movies for several decades. And when there were, they kept not quite living up to the 1978 movie

[@dhenderson1810]

The Superman IV thing wouldn't be a problem, as it would be no different to an eclipse, and nothing happens then.

[@IanM-id8or]

The human race sprang back from a near-extinction event which left 1000 individuals. The human race would spring back after the events of 2012

[@vodeankandosii3982]

Escape from LA's ending is a happy ending. That humanity didn't deserve to avoid the dark ages.

[@dhenderson1810]

You do realise for thousands of years, there was no electricity and the world survived.

[@robgronotte1]

There weren't nearly as many people then, and everything used for important tasks weren't dependent on electricity.

[@John_Smith_60]

Do you realize that for those thousands of years, the Earth had available natural resources that it no longer has (metals, fossil fuels, and even trees)?

[@32dreadman]

Drive angry was another movie that the ending probably doesn't have a good ending if you think about it. Nic cages character gives his grand baby to amber turd's character who is still wanted by police.

[@04beni04]

why does this guy sound like the DJ of your local back in the 90's?

[@douglaswright1489]

Let's pretend that the 900 Land Before Time sequels don't exist. I'm sure a lot of us would like to. They make it to the great valley and live happily ever after. Except that their carefree childhoods are over. Their entire lives before that were filled with starvation and destruction, something was always trying to kill them, and then they just straight up murdered Sharptooth. Nobody is going to just forget that. Also, what relationship did they have with Ducky after using her as bait and almost getting her killed? That must have been awkward.
