I'm not phrasing it well. Surprise is part of it, yes. As Robert McKee phrased it, "the closing of the gap" that is at the heart of story telling. If you hear a story at all, even just rehashed on wiki, it happens. The point of a writer or a director is to make it work as well as possible. A writer doesn't just have an Idea. Everyone has Ideas. A writer chooses exactly the right words to convey what happened. A movie is even more a culmination of that--a director choosing exactly what shots to make, and actor choosing how to deliver the lines, the composer choosing the sounds that will best highlight the scene.

The difference is the difference between saying "Coulson went to stop Loki and got stabbed" versus the emotional impact of the scene itself. It's just about "being surprised." It's about a story being told well.
