I know that there are plenty of Pandas here who simply adore movies just like me. So here’s a question for you, folks: what matters more in a film—the journey or the destination? Does a film have to have a decent ending in order to be good? And does a bad, cliched, and tone-deaf ending necessarily ruin what was otherwise a perfectly decent flick?

Well, these people over on Reddit certainly think so. In a viral thread created by Minecraftplayer48, these redditors shared how, in their opinion, some film endings went disastrously wrong and spoiled the entire experience. How bad can things really be? We’re about to find out.

Potentially huuuuge spoilers up ahead, dear Pandas, so read on at your own risk. (Or just, you know, shut your eyes really hard and scroll down blindly as far as you need to go.) Remember to upvote the opinions that you agree with and let us know why you think so in the comments.

I reached out to writer and Bram Stoker Award-winning editor Doug Murano from South Dakota to get his take on what it takes to create a good story and how to craft a great ending. "As strange as it may sound, writing and piloting an airplane share an important similarity: taking off and landing are the parts that are most fraught with peril. These are times of transition and uncertainty. Most competent writers can write a solid middle, but hooking the reader (taking off) and delivering a satisfying ending (landing) often separate the competent from the good and the good from the great," he told Bored Panda. You find the rest of my interview with writer and editor Murano below.

    It's a really good concept and movie until the very. It tells the story about a girl that is kidnapped and used as a drug mule for this new drug, but the bag inside her leaks and she gets overdosed. This doesn't kill her though, she's now able to use more than 10% of her brain (which I know is complete bullsh*t cuz we use 100% of our brain but not at the same time) and gets superpowers. Then for some reason she needs to take more of the drug to reach complete usage of her brain and, when she does, she becomes a flash drive. A FLASH DRIVE. SHE BECOMES A FLASH DRIVE

    "At the risk of mixing metaphors, good writing places the variables in view and requires the audience to do the math in order to reach full understanding," Murano said.

    "When it comes to endings, specifically, I think a lot of writers give into the urge to say too much and do the math for the audience. There's no fun in that—and it's especially disappointing to see it happen when the rest has been well executed," the writer and editor explained to Bored Panda that when writers trust that their audience will be able to put some things together themselves, instead of having everything handed to them on a silver platter.

The nostalgia for US pop culture that the last two generations would have no clue of, yet a future one embraces like religion rang false, and 'the pot at the end of the rainbow' ending was as authentic as leprechauns in Antarctica.

    The ending of any creative project, whether it’s a movie, a book, or a play, is important because it sets the mood with which the audience goes back into their daily lives. End the movie with the fabled Hollywood happy ending and your audience will feel picked up. (Though according to some researchers, there are various types of happy endings in films and we can’t just mix them up into one single blob.)

    Meanwhile, ending the film on a sad or depressing note will leave your audience feeling deflated. Surprise surprise! And, well, from a business perspective, that’s not what you really want, is it?

    You want your viewers to keep coming back for round two of the silver screen (Netflix during the pandemic, but you know what I mean), instead of wistfully looking out the window, thinking philosophical thoughts.

The PR angle for a superhero movie was interesting and unique. But then all of that is ruined by the lovers twist. I'm fine with either the superhero PR angle or the tragic lovers angle, but they're way too different and the latter is introduced too suddenly.

    So there’s a certain amount of pressure that moviemakers feel to make audiences feel happy. Of course, this doesn’t happen in every single case (the viral Reddit thread alone proves that), however, some films really do feel as though they’ve had happy endings shoehorned in, no matter that the tone of the project was very different, to begin with.

    At the end of the day, what viewers really want (besides a bucketful of popcorn nom nom) is to be entertained. And one of the ways this can be achieved is by making the story immersive. If the viewer forgets they’re watching a film and feels like they’re inside the story and that it’s real, you’ve got them: hook, line, and sinker.

    However, immersion means believability. And believability means consistency. Or rather, a certain amount of consistency in the plot. The audience has to believe that the inner workings of the story and the world make sense. There must be a logical consistency to how all the pieces interconnect.

    Mmm... “People partner up in order of attractiveness” is maybe one way to put it, but another way is that people who wouldn’t have ordinarily given each other a chance ended up doing that. The jock was attracted to the weird girl and the prom queen and the burnout were attracted to each other. I get your point that attractiveness isn’t really an indicator of growth, but I don’t think it’s an inconsistent ending.

    And that respect for the inner logic of the story applies to all films. Yes, even fantasy and sci-fi films! For example, you can’t be adding dragons willy-nilly to a story where dragons have been extinct for thousands of years or one where there are giant flying whales instead. You also wouldn’t add someone who speaks in a modern dialect, unless it’s a comedy or you’re doing it on purpose for whatever other reason.

    So if an ending doesn’t match the tone or the inner logic of a story, the audience will notice and (odds are) won’t like it very much. There’s a bond of mutual respect between the audience and filmmakers that gets cut if the latter don’t abide by the laws of the story they’ve created. Or, in other words, it’s simply not polite to invite others into a world you’ve created only to pull the rug from under their feet (unless it’s a slapstick comedy or the twist is really, _really_ gosh darn good).

    Yeah I liked the premise of the movie but the way the plot works is really upsetting. He steals her life, lies to her and forces her to live the rest of her life alone in a ship with her captor. It should have ended with him fixing the capsule and her going back to sleep or maybe it should have started with both waking up because of the failure. But as it is it promotes abusive relations.

    I've seen a video where they edited the movie as a thriller instead of a space romance. The movie begins with Jennifer Lawrence waking up and meeting Chris Pratt. You don't know what happened before. There's just this really creepy man staring at her all the time and pretending he woke up at the same time as her. It was brilliant.

    Ive read a version where the film should have started when Lawrence's character wakes up and we discover the reason why as she does and then we Pratt's backstory. It seems like Pratt is the villain at first but then we find out what really happens. The film chickens out and tries to make Pratt sympathetic by revealing what happened to him early,.

    Yes, a despicable motivation for sure, but they would have all died otherwise. This can make even a bad deed a "thank God" event. She hated him when she found out what he did, but, knowing that they would all have been killed if he hadn't - no one would be able to not forgive him for that. And, being that he was not otherwise a creep or a cad, he was, after all, the only choice for a relationship, so it would have been inevitable. Living alone until one dies on a 90 year remaining trip would have made anyone go crazy. There was no alternative.

    If for some reason you’ve accidentally spoiled an ending to a movie that you really wanted to watch, there’s really no reason to get upset. At least, according to psychology professor Nicholas Christenfeld, whose research has shown that spoilers don’t ruin a story. Rather, they make you enjoy it even more.

    “What we found, remarkably, was if you spoil stories they actually enjoy them more,” Christenfeld said, who repeated his experiment with mystery stories, ironic twist stories, and literary fiction. “Across all three genres, spoilers actually were enhancers. The term is wrong.”

    That's a hint about the sequel where Flash is a predator, hence the teeth. The world's. slowest. predator.

    I liked "Wonder Woman" better than the other DC vehicles. Thanks to James Wan, "Aquaman" managed to stay above water. But, I think people went to see it for Jason Momoa, because it certainly wasn't for Amber Heard.

    Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom, I thought it was going to end on a sad and mature ending that you can't save everything but that stupid girl ruined everything by pressing that button.

    I was actually scrolling to see if this would be here. I was enjoying her character so much until she did that. "They're just like me". No they're not, they're bloody DINOSAURS.

    People Are Sharing What Movie Endings Were So Bad, They Ruined The Entire Film (30 Pics) I enjoy disaster movies immensely. That being said, the ending of Knowing (with Nicolas Cage) was just...dumb. It kinda ruined the whole thing for me and I haven’t watched it since

    People Are Sharing What Movie Endings Were So Bad, They Ruined The Entire Film (30 Pics) 50 First Dates. It’s supposed to be this wrap-up ending that makes you feel good... It bothers me so much and I can’t even really tell you why. I won’t watch the movie again because the ending makes me so mad. I get mad even just talking about it. Not sure why I have such a strong reaction to it.

    It doesn't sit right because the poor woman went through a pregnancy and has a kid and is living on a boat when she forgets everything every time she falls asleep. That would be a living hell for her!!! They make it out to be this romantic story in which he reminds her of everything each day, but it just comes off as super creepy. And now she's stuck with him on a boat in the middle of nowhere, basically his hostage.

    People Are Sharing What Movie Endings Were So Bad, They Ruined The Entire Film (30 Pics) The first Insidious was terrifying and brilliant up until the end... Its like whoever wrote it got a huge pay cut when they were about to finish the script, so gave it to their 8 year old child to finish. I was genuinely scared for the whole movie and the ending was so bad I didn't end up scared at all

    Imao horror movies should have the main character die in the end or be forced to make a deep, life changing decision.

    Yesterday.

    The concept had enormous potential. It was just so unique. What if only one person knew about the Beatles? The movie was fun and suspenseful. And then it just fell flat when he confessed to essentially doing nothing wrong. Just felt anti-climactic.

    I kind of felt the same way about the Invention of Lying. Similar concept. I was eager to see it. And then I was unimpressed, but I can't actually remember why.

    Eli

    Some horror movie I saw on Netflix about some sick boy whose family spends a ton of money to get him to some special doctor. The catch is the operation takes days to complete so the whole family has to live in a big house with the doctor for a bit. So as the movie progresses Eli actually starts to get more sick and he believes the doctor is actually killing all the kids she’s supposedly helping. He learns through a girl he talks with outside the house that the last kid didn’t make it and looked about as bad as he did at the time. Sounds pretty cool right?

    Turns out Eli is the son of the devil, and the girl is his sister. He ends up awakening his evil spirit and killing everyone except his mom and new sister. Kid walks out of the whole thing with demonic super powers and a “I’m a total badass” look on his face. Just [ruined] the whole movie for me.

    People Are Sharing What Movie Endings Were So Bad, They Ruined The Entire Film (30 Pics) Source Code. I really enjoyed that movie but those last minutes retroactively ruin the rest of it for me. Clearly tacked on to give a happy ending. I tell everyone I know to watch it but to stop when you see what was clearly intended to be the end and to ignore the last five minutes

    I dunno, I kinda like the idea that he's now possessing some random teacher (?). Can you imagine the chaos his life will be now that he's living someone else's life? How people will react when he doesn't recognize his family or friends and doesn't know where he lives? I'd love to see that play out.

    I loved the book so much, and I like Anne Hathaway as an actress, but she wasn't right for this role, and her accent was awful. This is one book I hope that Amazon or Netflix will turn into a series to give it the proper time it deserves

    Yes, really there was no "ending" when you think about it. It looked just like the director got fed up and decided to wrap it up just where they were at the moment.

    Horns. It wasn't a great movie, but the ending sucked. Terrible cgi, and Daniel radcliffes character was so indecisive, it felt like he would take six hours to order at a restaurant.
