I honestly love the twist at the end of Would You Rather. It's properly nihilistic and fitting for the movies premise. I wonder why the writer(s) at WC Horror hate it so much.
They just want to be controversial for the sake of being controversial. Give it a week and they’ll do a “twist ending that saved an otherwise doomed film” and include Would You Rather in that list praising the ending.
I don't know if it "fixes" the twist or actually makes it worst, but there is an interesting theory that the aliens in Signs were demons, and the reason water hurt them was because it was holy water - since all of the glasses of water were made by the former priest, but it still counted as holy water.
It's a cool idea but he was a pastor, not a priest, and I don't think they bless holy water. IIRC I think that's exclusively the purview of the Catholics.
@@itsmainelyyou5541 That's right. Been a while since I've seen the movie. He wasn't Catholic, plus retired from the church, so maybe the holy water twist would never work. Still, I think it is an interesting theory, even if it doesn't hold water. lol
@@bandgeekforlife406 Oh. Do other denominations do this, other than the Anglicans/Orthodox which are catholic offshoots? I always thought it was a Catholic thing.
I had read a very similar theory but it was that the daughter was "an angel" (not literally, but still...) I don't know why people get their knickers in a knot about the water thing. I find the strangers being demons is actually more logical than aliens.
I thought the ending to Bodies Bodies Bodies was PERFECT and could not have been better honestly. It made me want to watch it all over again as opposed to being like nah I never need to see it again.
Love the ending in Would You Rather. It just fits with the movies theme. When it ended...i was just speechless. RE:2 is a guilty pleasure movie for me to watch.
@@davsny5I think the difference is they completely removed Michael from Halloween 3 but new beginning was essentially a fake Jason. Roy also must have been the strongest man on earth with some of the kills. I find it would have been better had they had some kind of tie between Roy and Jason, like a possession but done right. Because his freakish strength and “Jason-isms” made zero sense. I still enjoy the movie for what it is though and really like Tommy being a fighter. His PTSD was also done pretty well.
Not to mention Roy Burns was a random paramedic guy, but once he puts the hockey mask on, he suddenly has the superpowers of Jason Vorhees; even having a bigger body count than Jason in the previos three films. And this is before New Blood where telekinetic girls were part of the Crystal Lake universe.
Me and my boyfriend WANTED Brahms to just be a haunted doll. We had a running joke about a series of Brahms Adventures, Brahms dressed up in a lil scarf riding in a motorcycle side car through the countryside, Brahms riding a gondola through Venice, Brahms taking a bike tour through Europe, etc. 😂
No. Kirsty's return in Hellseeker was not "bungled". I find it poetic that she made the deal with Pinhead to save herself. She could have been in the movie more, but I suppose that could have spoiled the twist somehow.
Was I the only one who payed attention during the RE movies? If you look carefully, you can see that certain parts come from certain games. A lot of things that happenes at the end of the 2nd movie came from Code Veronica. Steve recognized Claire and refused to attack her. When Alice recognized Nemesis as Matt, he also realized who she was and protected her.
I'm pretty sure that the Cult of Thorn stuff had its origin in the prologue of the novelization of the original Halloween, which had someone in the time of the Druids going on a murder spree and being cursed by the Druids, for his bloodline to continue to murder people, which of course was never in the film. I still have my copy of the novelization 😊
"Would You Rather" has a great twist. It actually saves the movie. Yes, it's soul crushing, but that was the whole point! I personally hate when horror movies have happy endings. It's a horror movie...You should be depressed when it ends. LOL Look at "The Mist." That movie would be "meh" if it weren't for the ending. But the ending is what makes it stay with you. That's real "horror." When the credits role and you're just sitting there devastated and speechless.
Ah, a good nihilist I see. That's appreciated. I dislike when people are like "doom endings are awful and overkill". We need variety. Not ALL doom depressing endings, but a good "nothing even matters" too is fantastically impactful.
I hate the ending of The Mist because it defeats the purpose of watching the movie. It just feels like a writer giving the middle finger to both the characters and the audience by saying "They give up and kill themselves just before help arrives. Isn't that SO tragic?" It feels like a cop out. A father who would do anything to protect his child the entire movie suddenly decides to mercy-kill the kid, then help arrives? You force him to go against his entire motivation just so you can make the ending more "shocking" and "tragic" or whatever? Nah, it's just lazy writing.
Honestly? Would You Rather's ending is perfect. It could be seen as the ultimate "screw you if you expected things to work out" at first, but the whole film led up to an ending like this. It didn't subvert expectations, it made you THINK it would subvert expectations, similar to Knock at the Cabin, and then it just didn't.
I would say the ending to Would You Rather didn’t piss everyone off. Or it didn’t piss me off I guess. It was just soul crushing. Not to say it was as good as the ending to The Mist, but in that same vein at least.
@@tammybastion7419 She still has a bunch of money so she could presumably get help and live comfortably. In the Mist, the main character is left with nothing since he lost his son and wife.
He also was the one who shot his son. Can't imagine ever getting over that. At least in Would you Rather, her brother made the decision himself. Still tragic, but less devastating than The Mist@@wanderingmercurymarauder761
They never do. Nobody ever does. They crow on about how unsatisfying the film is, but can never so much as simply say what the website actually had on it.
I liked nemesis turning good at the end, it showed that Mat's humanity was still in him. Signs ending was awesome in my opinion, For one we never actually learned the ailens goal or reason for coming to earth so them coming to a planet that is filled with water shows their arrogance and possibly desperation for their attack. Also, the water was plain tap water not salt water so their might be a difference there.
I agree with all but Friday The 13th: A New Beginning and Would You Rather?. For the friday sequel it isn't great but it's also not the worst. I feel ut could have been fleshed out a little. As for WYR? Wasn't that the intention? To feel her pain with her?
Would You Rather was great. Most of real life isn't a happy ending, so have that end with sunshine and roses would have been worse. Plus, at least she still has the money.
Don’t bother. That’s not even the real twist. The real twist is such a slap in the face to soldiers who fought in Afghanistan. Like idk what they were trying to justify with that messaging
I like the theory that the “aliens” in Signs are actually demons. It’s not water that killed them, it was holy water. Also explains the vision years earlier, why the creatures aren’t wearing clothes or spacesuits, and in some lore demons can’t open doors. After hearing that theory I appreciated Sugns a lot more.
I know loads of commenters have already said it, but the ending of Would You Rather? is perfectly heartbreaking. It's a twist thay works very well for the movie. It may have made people feel sad or pissed off for Iris's sake but not with the movie itself
The ending of Would You Rather did not piss people off because it was a bad twist. It was because people felt bad for Iris because her journey ended up being tragic and pointless. Doesn't belong on this list.
@@bbsy1 Uhhhhhh really? Gee I dunno could be the part where you have to shoot a guy that saved your life and go through that torture to save your little brother who has cancer, only for him to self delete and it was all for nothing.

The ending for WOULD YOU RATHER is set up early in the movie, and very well I might add. Her brother tells her that she needs to go out more and live her life, taking care of him is important but it isn’t everything. Then, when she is going out to the party, she has a huge smile on her face. She is happy because she might be getting enough money to save her brother. What he sees is a truly person that his sister should be all the time. She set herself up for the ending by not telling him what she was doing, probably because she didn’t want him to talk her out of going.
I didn't have a problem with the ending of Signs. Who knows if the aliens had ever encountered water before? It's entirely possible that they didn't know what it was, or that it was toxic to them, until they came to Earth. And just because someone is super intelligent doesn't mean they think of all the possibilities in advance. You can be really smart and still do absolutely idiotic things.
I love Signs because if you saw that video online nowadays you’d roll your eyes and be like “so fake”. Back then, our videos were either clearly fake or real.
To be fair Signs was supposed to have been about demons, with the aforementioned water having been blessed by Mel Gibson's pastor character. Still not the greatest of plots, but it's a damned sight better than what we got.
"The Devil Inside" ending reminds me of Infamous: Second Son's Paper Trail mission.... mostly in the fact both required the use of an external website to get the full experience, and both websites are defunked now. At least I:SS had the foresight to update the quest to not need the website to complete tge mission anymore, but man, it just makes the experience feel so much more hollow (especially when the website was kind of important to understanding the plot of that mission).
Kristi was just a survivor and not a villain IMHO, she killed her stepmom, sold out her uncle and her husband by using pin head, but lets just say that it’s not like they didn’t have it coming. I mean if Trevor was goody too shoes and did nothing wrong then yeah she would had been evil but once he gave her the box, she knew what to do 🤣
I am glad I have only seen the boy. I guess I need to start watching horror movies again. Haven't watched one since 2022... I still have the list of horror movies I watched, I think.
I actually enjoyed the roy burns twist in the new beginning.vengeful father kills the kids he blames for his sons murder.yes I see the flaws but it was different
I actually stand by Signs. Like okay if you're allergic to, say, lemons, and you're an alien, you find a planet that's 75% lemons, but you realize if you just go to the land you'll be safe from the lemons. You wouldn't then expect the residents of the planet to throw lemons at you - you're on the part of the planet that isn't covered with lemons! ALSO the aliens seem pretty obviously to be a metaphor for demons? The main character is a reverend who lost his faith but regains it when these spooky creatures are defeated by water? Come on.
I fucking love Signs, underrated and truly unsettling. My dad showed me this movie way too young and I'm still traumatized by it lol. I love the anti-climatic ending I could talk at length about why it's awesome 😂
best part of that otherwise crappy movie. I'd take New Beginning over JGtH. JGtH is by far the worst in the franchise....ANB is a fun murder mystery in retrospect
Yeah, Me too! Duke kicks ass! also the book of the dead and freddy's cameo was awesome. foreshadowed at the time an uncertain fvj film. even though fvj happened it should have had a sequel fvj vs ash film which would have been so cool if it were done right!@@thecunninlynguist
I wasn't that mad about the Hellraiser one. Or rather, I was, but for a completely different reason. Kirsty making a deal with the cenobites to save herself seemed reasonable, given her dealings with them previously. Her putting up with an abusive partner long enough for him to become a Problem (at the time) seemed like a real cop out. It could be worse though, she could have spent generations building a space station to destroy them.
It's amazing how many people misunderstood the actual twist of signs. The twist was that the invasion was demonic and not extraterrestrial the reason the water worked in the farmhouse was that it was "blessed" by the daughter whom everyone called an angel throughout the movie.
don’t care what anyone thinks. i LOVE the Devil Inside haha. i love it so much, i got an inverted cross tattooed on the inside of my lip to match Maria. 😎
the water in SIGNS wasn't a twist, but a plot development; MNS uses much more of the latter, as opposed to the former, that he is credited for, and is thus blamed for weak twists that aren't even twists.
7:45 The haunted mansion in WWII is actually a simulation in 2010 but still actually haunted ...has got to be the dumbest sci-fi schlock-plot since [Insert any The Flash episode here].
So...has it occurred to anyone else that "Signs" is a dream film. A minister looses faith when his wife is killed in an accident. In her final moments, he thinks her neurons are randomly firing, and she is speaking nonsense, causing him to believe that nothing has meaning. He leaves the church, represented by the silhouette of a missing crucifix on his bedroom wall. Then the dream... his daughter sees a "monster", and asks for water, beginning a rather fanciful alien invasion story. The two children with their uncle wearing tinfoil hats? The unusual coincidence that the house in the children's book is *their EXACT farmhouse?* Everything his wife said proves to be referencing something important, even prophetic. Every quirk each person possesses is integral in their survival. The "signs" are a reference to the signs from God that everything that happens has meaning. In the dream, each meaning is revealed to Graham. His son's asthma saves his life when an attack prevents him from breathing in the alien's poison gas. The daughter's obsession with water saves everyone. Colleen's final words, "swing away", are a message to Merrill to use his ability with the bat to kill the alien with water. The final scene, with the crucifix restored to it's place, shows Graham finally understands that just because he doesn't understand the meaning of events, doesn't mean that the events don't have a meaning. It's a story about faith, and questioning what you really believe. A superior alien race, capable of interplanetary travel, would have noticed the water on Earth. They couldn't take us hostage, as we are comprised mostly of water. Our blood, our sweat, even our saliva would be toxic to them. The aliens represent the unknown evils in life. Religiously, water represents cleansing, rebirth, the removal of sin. Holy water is used to dispel evil. "See, what you have to ask yourself is what kind of person are you? Are you the kind that sees signs, sees miracles? Or do you believe that people just get lucky? Or, look at the question this way. Is it possible that there are no coincidences?" Graham speaking to his brother Merrill. Just me? I thought *that* was the twist M. Night Shyamalan intended.
I think Signs only pissed off lolatheists. Replace it with Drag Me To Hell and a protagonist dumb enough to not make sure she had the button and not her boyfriend's coin.
Hrmm. I'm guessing putting Would You Rather on this list will be... polarizing. Honestly, I realizing that these things are just opinion but I'm really shocked ANYONE would put Would You Rather on a list like this.
The cult of thorn is literally how the story of michael myers is created in the book that those movies are based from 🤦♀️...so to say that it was some made up bs isnt true at all....Sigh.... I want to love you guys so much WhatCulture. But, i struggle with your videos always contradicting each other. One episode will be about how everyone hates this movie, next, that same movie is on the everyone loves this movie episode. Plot points that didnt make sense and ruined the movie, then all those movies end up on a didnt make sense and people loved it episode. Idk... maybe its just me, but its starting to really push me away from the channel. 😣
I got pushed away months ago. They're never consistent. I can also see how young they are when it comes to their complaints. Nothing wrong with them being young, but they tend to look at stuff through that lens which ultimately causes the various rants in the comments.
The fact that The Devil Inside came out in theaters and in 2012 makes it all the worse. Oh let's just waste data on my iPhone 4 to see the ending of your movie in 480p or wait until I get home and probably lose interest on the way.
I have found a logical explanation for Signs. Basically, since their weakness is water, it's highly doubtful they have it where they come from and hence, didn't know it was their weakness when choosing Earth. I mean, yeah, that's all I got.
I always figured it was the imperfections in the water and not the water itself. Bo repeatedly complains that each glass has some kind of imperfection in it. It is not unfounded that populations are decimated by viruses and bacteria.
I disagree, the curse and cult of Thorn is actually something I like and gave a good explanation. Donald Pleasance, Mustapha Akkad, Debra Hill, etc. all were in it and I do consider it cannon.
The Critters are such fun little movies and I liked those supporting characters. Making one of them traitor was out of character and such a bad idea in general. Also forth movie generally suck.
I honestly love the twist at the end of Would You Rather. It's properly nihilistic and fitting for the movies premise. I wonder why the writer(s) at WC Horror hate it so much.

Sometimes I feels like they do an entry just to get a full top 10 list, even if that entry doesn't fit the list.

My problem with Friday the 13th the new beginning is that he killed everybody except the guy who killed his son

The ending for WOULD YOU RATHER is set up early in the movie, and very well I might add.
Her brother tells her that she needs to go out more and live her life, taking care of him is important but it isn’t everything. Then, when she is going out to the party, she has a huge smile on her face. She is happy because she might be getting enough money to save her brother. What he sees is a truly person that his sister should be all the time.
She set herself up for the ending by not telling him what she was doing, probably because she didn’t want him to talk her out of going.
Didn’t even pick up on that and still knew the ending. Horrible film.
I didn't have a problem with the ending of Signs. Who knows if the aliens had ever encountered water before? It's entirely possible that they didn't know what it was, or that it was toxic to them, until they came to Earth. And just because someone is super intelligent doesn't mean they think of all the possibilities in advance. You can be really smart and still do absolutely idiotic things.
I love Signs because if you saw that video online nowadays you’d roll your eyes and be like “so fake”. Back then, our videos were either clearly fake or real.
To be fair Signs was supposed to have been about demons, with the aforementioned water having been blessed by Mel Gibson's pastor character. Still not the greatest of plots, but it's a damned sight better than what we got.
"The Devil Inside" ending reminds me of Infamous: Second Son's Paper Trail mission.... mostly in the fact both required the use of an external website to get the full experience, and both websites are defunked now. At least I:SS had the foresight to update the quest to not need the website to complete tge mission anymore, but man, it just makes the experience feel so much more hollow (especially when the website was kind of important to understanding the plot of that mission).
Pinhead isn’t a villain. He is doing his job.
He's just following orders, huh?
Kristi was just a survivor and not a villain IMHO, she killed her stepmom, sold out her uncle and her husband by using pin head, but lets just say that it’s not like they didn’t have it coming. I mean if Trevor was goody too shoes and did nothing wrong then yeah she would had been evil but once he gave her the box, she knew what to do 🤣
I am glad I have only seen the boy. I guess I need to start watching horror movies again. Haven't watched one since 2022... I still have the list of horror movies I watched, I think.
I thought the ending to Ghosts of War was great.
The aliens will hate it when it rains
Actually, the worst Halloween movie is the one, where Michael isn't even in the movie. "Happy, happy Halloween. Silver...Shamrock"
People say that resurrection was the worst one. Busta Rhymes vs Michael..
In my opinion, Would You Rather's twist was a truly awful gut-punch, however, I believe that it fit the film.
I actually enjoyed the roy burns twist in the new beginning.vengeful father kills the kids he blames for his sons murder.yes I see the flaws but it was different
I thought the simplicity of the water element in *Signs* was terrififc.
Me too, and it could have been holy water blessed by the young girl, and the "aliens" were actually demons.
@@Vanillin24 That's just theory people came up with to explain away the movie's stupidity.
@@MataNui. that's half the fun when it comes to movies like that.
Um I DEFINITELY was infuriated at the end of Would You Rather!
The ending to Would You Rather pissed people off? I thought it was somewhat predictable, but fitting.
I actually stand by Signs. Like okay if you're allergic to, say, lemons, and you're an alien, you find a planet that's 75% lemons, but you realize if you just go to the land you'll be safe from the lemons. You wouldn't then expect the residents of the planet to throw lemons at you - you're on the part of the planet that isn't covered with lemons! ALSO the aliens seem pretty obviously to be a metaphor for demons? The main character is a reverend who lost his faith but regains it when these spooky creatures are defeated by water? Come on.
Ghosts of War definitely ticked me off. It was so promising as a movie
The water thing in Signs didn't make sense to me. We have humidity. They'd be burning just walking around.
I fucking love Signs, underrated and truly unsettling. My dad showed me this movie way too young and I'm still traumatized by it lol. I love the anti-climatic ending I could talk at length about why it's awesome 😂
At least Jason goes to Hell did the right thing and realistic thing and had the FBI kill Jason in the opening scene!
best part of that otherwise crappy movie. I'd take New Beginning over JGtH. JGtH is by far the worst in the franchise....ANB is a fun murder mystery in retrospect
Yeah I'll guess you are right, but Jason goes to hell was the most fun worst jason movie though. best worst!@@thecunninlynguist
@@joeb.evrythngEclectic5571 yeah it's fun. I wish they utilized Duke better, he was awesome
Yeah, Me too! Duke kicks ass! also the book of the dead and freddy's cameo was awesome. foreshadowed at the time an uncertain fvj film. even though fvj happened it should have had a sequel fvj vs ash film which would have been so cool if it were done right!@@thecunninlynguist
I have to disagree, I liked the ending of many of these!
Signs could've been easily saved just by saying the aliens were vulnerable to freshwater, not saltwater.
The Hellraiser one is just because it seemed like we FINALLY had a fucking good one, and then it slipped into like a C- movie
The Frist 4 hellraisers are great anything after 4 was terrible
@@hardingryan42 yeah, a literal cliff lol
I wasn't that mad about the Hellraiser one. Or rather, I was, but for a completely different reason. Kirsty making a deal with the cenobites to save herself seemed reasonable, given her dealings with them previously. Her putting up with an abusive partner long enough for him to become a Problem (at the time) seemed like a real cop out.
It could be worse though, she could have spent generations building a space station to destroy them.
It's amazing how many people misunderstood the actual twist of signs. The twist was that the invasion was demonic and not extraterrestrial the reason the water worked in the farmhouse was that it was "blessed" by the daughter whom everyone called an angel throughout the movie.
4:41 the aliens didn’t know what water was. Why would they? How could they?
don’t care what anyone thinks. i LOVE the Devil Inside haha.
i love it so much, i got an inverted cross tattooed on the inside of my lip to match Maria. 😎
Is that Winona Ryder on the thumbnail?? 🤗💕
the water in SIGNS wasn't a twist, but a plot development; MNS uses much more of the latter, as opposed to the former, that he is credited for, and is thus blamed for weak twists that aren't even twists.
I really liked the Boy twist. It was original.
7:45 The haunted mansion in WWII is actually a simulation in 2010 but still actually haunted ...has got to be the dumbest sci-fi schlock-plot since [Insert any The Flash episode here].
So...has it occurred to anyone else that "Signs" is a dream film. A minister looses faith when his wife is killed in an accident. In her final moments, he thinks her neurons are randomly firing, and she is speaking nonsense, causing him to believe that nothing has meaning. He leaves the church, represented by the silhouette of a missing crucifix on his bedroom wall. Then the dream... his daughter sees a "monster", and asks for water, beginning a rather fanciful alien invasion story.
The two children with their uncle wearing tinfoil hats?
The unusual coincidence that the house in the children's book is *their EXACT farmhouse?*
Everything his wife said proves to be referencing something important, even prophetic. Every quirk each person possesses is integral in their survival. The "signs" are a reference to the signs from God that everything that happens has meaning. In the dream, each meaning is revealed to Graham. His son's asthma saves his life when an attack prevents him from breathing in the alien's poison gas. The daughter's obsession with water saves everyone. Colleen's final words, "swing away", are a message to Merrill to use his ability with the bat to kill the alien with water. The final scene, with the crucifix restored to it's place, shows Graham finally understands that just because he doesn't understand the meaning of events, doesn't mean that the events don't have a meaning. It's a story about faith, and questioning what you really believe.
A superior alien race, capable of interplanetary travel, would have noticed the water on Earth. They couldn't take us hostage, as we are comprised mostly of water. Our blood, our sweat, even our saliva would be toxic to them. The aliens represent the unknown evils in life. Religiously, water represents cleansing, rebirth, the removal of sin. Holy water is used to dispel evil.
"See, what you have to ask yourself is what kind of person are you? Are you the kind that sees signs, sees miracles? Or do you believe that people just get lucky? Or, look at the question this way. Is it possible that there are no coincidences?" Graham speaking to his brother Merrill.
Just me? I thought *that* was the twist M. Night Shyamalan intended.
I was fine with the Residant evil II and Signs twists.
Just looking at Ashley makes me happy. What a face.
I think Signs only pissed off lolatheists.
Replace it with Drag Me To Hell and a protagonist dumb enough to not make sure she had the button and not her boyfriend's coin.
Ghost of War sounded so blood shit like why would the CPU want to hurt the man when he's trying to put right a wrong
Hrmm. I'm guessing putting Would You Rather on this list will be... polarizing. Honestly, I realizing that these things are just opinion but I'm really shocked ANYONE would put Would You Rather on a list like this.
Saw
If Zepp had just called the cops and explained the situation he probably would have been fine
If people (and especially WhatCulture) don't get the fuck over the alien/water twist in Signs.....
The cult of thorn is literally how the story of michael myers is created in the book that those movies are based from 🤦♀️...so to say that it was some made up bs isnt true at all....Sigh.... I want to love you guys so much WhatCulture. But, i struggle with your videos always contradicting each other. One episode will be about how everyone hates this movie, next, that same movie is on the everyone loves this movie episode. Plot points that didnt make sense and ruined the movie, then all those movies end up on a didnt make sense and people loved it episode. Idk... maybe its just me, but its starting to really push me away from the channel. 😣
I got pushed away months ago. They're never consistent. I can also see how young they are when it comes to their complaints. Nothing wrong with them being young, but they tend to look at stuff through that lens which ultimately causes the various rants in the comments.
The fact that The Devil Inside came out in theaters and in 2012 makes it all the worse. Oh let's just waste data on my iPhone 4 to see the ending of your movie in 480p or wait until I get home and probably lose interest on the way.
face turn, not babyface turn. a babyface is an undecided rookie.
I have found a logical explanation for Signs. Basically, since their weakness is water, it's highly doubtful they have it where they come from and hence, didn't know it was their weakness when choosing Earth. I mean, yeah, that's all I got.
I always figured it was the imperfections in the water and not the water itself. Bo repeatedly complains that each glass has some kind of imperfection in it. It is not unfounded that populations are decimated by viruses and bacteria.
@@sundalangur3250 Good thinking. Civilizations have been decimated by viruses and bacteria that they had no immunity to. I like this.
I disagree, the curse and cult of Thorn is actually something I like and gave a good explanation. Donald Pleasance, Mustapha Akkad, Debra Hill, etc. all were in it and I do consider it cannon.
The Critters are such fun little movies and I liked those supporting characters. Making one of them traitor was out of character and such a bad idea in general.
Also forth movie generally suck.
Would you rather was awsome and loved Ghost of War. Could there been a better ending..yes but it shouldn't be on a list the pissed fans off.
So is no one going to talk about him saying H-Twenty instead of H-2-0. Honestly, how does that even happen?
I'm totally OK with the Nemesis flip, i feel like it fit the story well. The water thing in Signs is just super lazy writing though.
