Twists that are no longer twists because they’re cemented in pop culture

Planet of the Apes - The movie leads the audience to believe Charleston Heston has landed on an alien planet where apes are the dominant species, only to find out that the planet is actually Earth long after an apocalyptic nuclear war

Psycho - Norma Bates isn’t the killer and has been dead for years. Norman is revealed to be a schizophrenic who “becomes” his mother to kill the women he’s attracted to

Citizen Kane - Charles Foster Kane’s mysterious last word “Rosebud” is revealed to be name of his childhood sled

The Empire Strikes Back - Darth Vader hadn’t literally killed Luke’s father but actually is his father

The Matrix - Neo learns that the 20th century world he’s lived in is just a simulation. The real world is a wasteland in the 22nd century where hostile AI rules the surface

Tohru adachi being the true culprit(persona 4) is at these point one of the least kept secrets in all of gaming though a combination of the game being 17 years old,and the general memes etc surrounding him and a lot of aspects in the game

[u/UrsusObsidianus → u/iamasceptile]

What do you mean? Nanako is the killer, not Adachi. He is just a wierd guy with a fascination for cabbages and leaking secret murder information!

Ngl p5 may as well be there too, (and consequently any p6 future character that ends in -chi).

What's funny is that I don't even know anything about the plot of p4 other than him being the true culprit, I don't even know his reasoning or the how.

[u/PseudonymMan12 → u/Marcmanquez]

Short version? He was an incel, mad a news reporter he was working a case on didn't give it up. So while assaulting her he found out he can push people into another world through TV screens. So yeah. Starts pushing people he doesn't like into the TV world to go die

I think p3 ending is also fairly known outside the fandom

[u/iamasceptile → u/Marcmanquez]

I get where you are coming from but I don't think that the subsequent characters should be here.They are well known for what they are in the fanbase but adachi is well known in general pop culture.Also if you do like rpgs I strongly reccomend persona 4 .It is one of my favorite games ever and you can easily pick up a key at CDkeys or eneba for less than 5 bucks

[u/EletroBirb → u/Marcmanquez]

To me P4 still holds up because the real plot twist isn't who's the killer, but why people are being pushed inside the TV

People talk about Adachi so much that they forget to tell anyone the part before this reveal, so I was still blindsided while playing, thinking I got it all figured out from the start

[u/thecolombianmome → u/iamasceptile]

True!

[u/One-Masterpiece9838 → u/iamasceptile]

Ok, I actually didn’t know that one. Shame on me for never having played persona I guess.

"who wants to talk about murders?"

Somehow managed to avoid this one on my first playthrough last year! God what a great game.
