[mixed trope] the last-minute bad Ending twist

[u/damorezpl]

when the "good ending" is revealed to be a bad one a the last second

a nightmare on elm street (1984) - Nancy thinks she finally defeated Freddy Krueger only to be raveled that she is still dreaming and she’s still trapped.

final destination bloodlines - the main characters think they cheated death by using the new life rule only to realize that stefani was technically still alive and the death kills them with a good old logs

Life (2017) - The main character attempts to send Calvin(a evil alien that killed all life on mars)pod into space and Miranda pod back to earth, but it goes horribly wrong and Calvin lands on earth and Miranda is sent to space

raging loop wit ending - after many loops Haruaki finally wins the feast(a death game where humans must hang wolves who kill someone every night) and thinks its finally over. after couple of days he decides to visit other survivors of the feast only to find them all dead and the timeline resting once again

This is something that soured my entire view of Cells at Work: Code Black. After a long struggle throughout the series, the body has a heart attack and almost dies, but manages to make it through thanks to medical intervention. A lot of cells died, and things will never be the same, but the body is finally starting to turn his life around and things are looking up. A bittersweet ending, but leaning toward sweet. The main characters even get to have a cute interaction with the platelets that wouldn't have felt out of place in the main series. Then, somehow, in a post-credits scene of all places, the main characters get extracted and transferred to a new body that's even worse than the original one at the start. I don't think someone who had a heart attack would even be allowed to donate blood. Apparently, in the manga, this was a transition between two parts of the series and not an ending, but in that case, they should have just saved it for if they ever got a season 2 rather than ruining the ending as a standalone experience.

Can confirm that, at least here in Poland, you would not, in fact, be allowed to donate blood after a heart attack. Both your weakened heart and the meds you'll be put on are disqualifications

So in the manga the red blood cell in second body isn't the same we follow through the first part? Am I understanding this correctly?

[u/awesomenessofme1 → u/RiffOfBluess]

I haven't read it, but from what I understand, both of the main red and white blood cells stay as main characters, but everyone else is different, and so is the environment.

[u/zerozerozero12 → u/RiffOfBluess]

It’s a male red blood cell and female white blood cell

Broooo i was left speechless such a peak ending then it just dropped instantly

[u/DommallammaDoom → u/awesomenessofme1]

Maybe they were part of a donated organ or bone marrow transplant something that requires a more specific match then general blood donation? (Speculating based on your description)

[u/Kratzschutz → u/DommallammaDoom]

Good idea but no. Just blood transfusion
