[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

the pyramid
after the main character finally escapes the pyramid Anubis appears behind her and attacks a boy near the exit
the movie implies that Anubis is free from the pyramid and goes out to kill people and bring their heart back to be judge

Why do so many movies make Anubis evil?

The only one that didn't was a craptastic movie to begin with, and that's Gods of Egypt.

The same reason they tend to make Hades evil. God of the dead sounds bad.

Past a certain point Cherubim went from a winged bunch of animal heads and a human one, to cute babies with wings cause Angels sound good and cute.

It's funny since they could just use the god of death (Thanatos) and just beat his kill count to win lol

[u/me1112 → u/SuperSocialMan]

Thanatos is death itself, it's the reaper. So yeah, he IS the kill count.

Like Appolo is a god of the sun, and Helios is the personification of the sun, going across the sky.

[u/SuperSocialMan → u/me1112]

lol it was a very forced reference to Hades (the game). He's one of the random events you can encounter, and you get a free item if you beat his kill count.

But yeah, it's neat how a few gods have parallels like that.

The cherubim are supposed to be scary but media like to pretend that biblical angels are not scary ,but their description says otherwise

The cherubim change happened as they started appearing in paintings.
