A randomized drop Tower ride based IP...that Disney HASN'T bought? But I thought the ride changed COMPLETELY?! WHAT IS EVEN REALITY?!?!?

10:22 Some of the most memorable episodes didn't have morals & were only meant to scare you. The episode "it's a good life" being the best example.

[@rct3isepic]

Except "It's a good life" was commentary. It was commentary on dictatorships. This isn't really commenting on anything.

[@ItsScottS]

@@rct3isepic What exactly was the commentary, that dictators exist? I agree with the OP, while some did have morals, Twilight Zone seemed to be more interested in ironic twists than teaching a lesson.

[@rct3isepic]

@ItsScottS the commentary is showing that dictators are often very childish. And to go with your other reading of ironic twists, where's the ironic twists in the tower of terror story? We know nothing about the 5 people. They just appeared, and had a freak accident.

[@ItsScottS]

@@rct3isepic That is your interpretation of the episode, which you are absolutely entitled to, but looking around the internet I have seen others reading religion into the story, comparing Anthony to God, which would result in an absence of the moral you seem to believe is required. That said, a quick count of the first season shows that the major plot device that gets used in The Twilight Zone is weird, supernatural thing happens, which ToT fits into perfectly. Examples include The Last Flight (guy somehow time travels), The Fever (guy who is against gambling can't resist the allure of an apparently sentient slot machine), And When the Sky Was Opened (after an accident in an experimental spaceship, the crew start vanishing from existence along with the craft itself), etc. I feel that you are holding ToT up to the reputation that Twilight Zone has in your mind, and not the reality of the show.

[@rct3isepic]

@ItsScottS I'd still argue that the weird thing happens in order to tell a morality tale or make commentary on social issues. Like The Fever, is what I call a "Hell of your own making" type of story. Which is what we see in the Japanese version of the ride which ironically isn't tied to the Twilight Zone. But looking at the show, the weird thing happens episodes are always character driven, which doesn't work with ToT since we know pretty much nothing about the characters, and we have no idea what happens to them. I think the best way it could maybe fit in is if the episode subject of the episode is the guests and it's a commentary on trespassing at abandoned spaces

[@rct3isepic]

No. It'd be cringe now, and honestly it was cringe then
