I had completely forgotten this was even a thing, and even more bizarre timing of the reveal behind the person.

This also just crossed my mind, after reading this and seeing who is claiming the deed.

I can totally see the Prestige counting for this.

This is one hard to say. Dark is one of my favorite shows, but I do think the journey is better, the journey is kind of the process for the acceptance of the finale, so it does make sense.

There is a mix of both throughout the show, especially in the Irene Adler The Woman episode. You already know she is behind a few criminal things from the start. There is also another case within that same episode where someone died next to a river, and one of the draws of the case is that Sherlock figured it out instantly, but doesn’t want to tell anyone what the answer is. It is slowly revealed in bits over the episode of what he figured out.

I may give Columbo a shot since it’s an older show I have put off trying. And Monk has also been sitting on my list.

All three great answers. I thoroughly enjoyed them. I’ve been trying to get my wife to watch Se7en or Usual Suspects for years.

I definitely think this movie popularized the “but it needs a twist at the end” trend.

Yes! I think this qualifies.

I loved Memento, very good example.

The closest I’ve watched in the last decade to something like this may be BBC’s Sherlock. Does that fall in the same category?

 

I’ve watched shows, movies, read comics or listened to podcasts where there is a lot of build up around a mystery, only for the end to be lackluster. In these the journey itself was more riveting than where we ended up. What are some instances where the answer lived up to the hype?

I hate, hate, hate, haaaaate, that the fake ai voices on short videos has leaked to YouTube and Instagram and anywhere else that hosts videos. I’m assuming that happened, because TikTok started off mostly as a Chinese company. People couldn’t speak English and used ai voices to remedy that and here we are.

A runner up is the downward trajectory of reaction videos. Now people are just pasting their floating heads nodding in the corner of a reposted content.

Their goal is not to be a Reddit alternative or to replace the fediverse. Maybe in the long run it will have a larger user base, but for now they want to remain on the smaller size. Which is fine, there is room for multiple websites. It’s a good thing everyone isn’t located in one source. Things can be across lemmy, mastodon, Kbin, tildes, squabbles, etc.
