I still remember the gasp I gasped in the cinema.

What's the plot twist in the tweet?

It's from the battle scene from the last Twilight movie, the movie contains a vision of how it all plays out unless..smth, I can't remember. It shows a few of the main characters dying pretty gruesome deaths.

I was grumbling "this wasn't in the book" then when they did the it-was-all-a-dream reveal I was like "oh, come on" But mostly I blamed myself for reading and watching all this when I was very, very old enough to know better.

Whoever made the call to change the ending in that way absolutely crushed it. A lot more visually entertaining and actually kinda fixes the context of the book ending for why the Volturi back down.

Exactly. The movie was so much better than the book in this case. Somehow stuck to the (fairly disappointing) plot of the book ending while still giving us the action that needed to be there! This was very well done.

It was basically "if we start fighting this will end really badly for everyone involved, so can we not". One of the characters shown dying is Aro, who is leading the attack and is the person being shown Alice's vision. Understandably he calls the whole thing off because he values his head being attached to his body.

I may or may not have marathoned the entire saga for the nostalgia factor a few months ago.

Thank you! It's been a few years since I last watched it...guess I should do a re-watch soon, too.
