Not all plot twists work well, and this is particularly true when they involve science fiction. Even in shows that aren’t usually sci-fi, a sci-fi twist can sometimes ruin an episode or even damage an entire series. These twists often come in the form of confusing retcons or unexpected character revelations that feel out of place. Whatever the issue, a bad twist pulls viewers out of the story, and here are seven of the worst examples.
At the beginning of *Batman v Superman*, Superman is struggling with the fallout from the battle in *Man of Steel*. The destruction of Metropolis, caused by his fight with Zod, leads most people to blame him. While it’s difficult to watch a superhero battle so intensely in a populated city, that’s not the movie’s biggest flaw. Here are seven mistakes from *Man of Steel* that you’ll notice every time you watch it.
After Rick Grimes left *The Walking Dead* in 2018, the show noticeably slowed down. Many fans felt Rick was the emotional center of the series, appearing in most of its biggest stories and delivering some of its most iconic moments. While he had many memorable scenes, these six stand out as particularly impactful and have stayed with viewers long after they aired.
A24’s latest hit, *Bring Her Back*, is a truly frightening film centered on grieving siblings, Andy and Piper. Directors Danny and Michael Phillipou don’t hold back, creating a horror movie that’s deeply unsettling and emotionally impactful. One critic described it as more than just scary-it’s an experience that stays with you. The *New York Times* praised the directors, suggesting they aim to evoke not only fear, but also genuine heartbreak.
The Justice Society is one of the oldest superhero teams in comics, and its members are incredibly powerful – strong enough to potentially defeat the entire Justice League.
These are the kinds of games developers dedicate years to crafting – truly ambitious projects that have the potential to become classics.

Fans of Eddie Murphy can now watch both *Beverly Hills Cop* and *Beverly Hills Cop II* on Tubi, along with *Coming to America* and *Daddy Day Care*. These movies became available on the free streaming service on September 1st. Murphy famously played the quick-witted Detroit detective Axel Foley, a role that led to several sequels. While the first two films are on Tubi, *Beverly Hills Cop 3* is available to rent or purchase, and the newest installment, *Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F*, is a Netflix exclusive.
Valentina Allegra de Fontaine purchased Avengers Tower and converted it into the Watchtower, establishing it as a headquarters for Robert Reynolds, also known as the Sentry (played by Lewis Pullman) – a hero she essentially created. Before it was public knowledge that Valentina had bought the tower, fans speculated about who might move in, and some of those guesses were more exciting than the actual reveal. Popular theories included the Fantastic Four turning it into a new Baxter Building, Doctor Doom establishing an embassy for Latveria, or Spider-Man’s Mister Negative taking control, and those were considered the most interesting possibilities.
I was really surprised to learn that this game wasn’t initially designed for the new Switch! Apparently, when the development started, the Switch 2 hadn’t even been announced yet. Producer Masato Kumazawa told IGN they only started exploring the possibility *after* Nintendo revealed the new console. They began testing and developing for it, and everyone thought it would be amazing to bring *Resident Evil* to that platform. It’s cool to hear how they adapted to the new hardware!
