Re: What twist in a series or movie actually surprised you?

[(Anonymous)]

Up until about three years ago, it was every Moffat twist that surprised me in his works. But only because they came out of nowhere with no set up and made no sense. They were surprising but not satisfactory. Now they just fill me with disappointment and sadness.

I can't remember the last time a "twist" with actual narrative set up surprised me though. Of course I don't really like being surprised with twists, so that is fine with me. I put my hate of twists down to the lack of a twist in the Story of Abraham and Isaac. The twist in that should have been Abraham refusing and that meaning he had passed the test. Instead to twist was he really was supposed to murder Isaac and God only let him off at the last second because he was pleased with the preparation to murder. That is where I think I learned to hate story twists. I think. Also where I learned to distrust religion.

Hm, passing a test by refusing to do what's asked of you because that was the real test is a pretty old twist itself by now. But I wonder if the Abraham and Isaac story, and other people having the same take on it as you did, had something to do with it becoming a popular twist initially.

You mean all the people going "whoa, Jehovah, not cool dude" made pop culture decide to come up with the "but it was all a secret test, dude, to see if you were brave enough to not do it". To see if you were brave enough to defy even god to do the right thing.

I'm just always annoyed that everybody ignores the fact that Isaac was a grown-ass man and CONSENTED to be sacrificed.
I mean it's fine to be horrified etc., carry on with being horrified, but he was not a child led to slaughter. He was 40.

That kinda makes it worse. That means they are in something that is one letter away from Piers Morgan. Did he at least get some koolaid first?

Come the fuck on, did you even read the original? The kool-aid is right there in the text! They had a whole party! Fountains of beer! Barbecue!

I thought that got cut by Pope Leo II? I can't keep up with all these tru-canon boys. And the retcons. Man, so many retcons. It seems every time a new showrunner comes in for Christianity they gotta retcon all the stuff the previous showrunner did.

They keep dropping the juicy stuff, too. And then all the new fans don't know about the original and start arguing interpretation. Fake fans everywhere, I tell you.

And the cosplay is awful. All those Christmas pageants with kids in terrycloth bathrobes, I swear...
