GLASS (2019) Ending + Twists Explained 

Did anyone else notice that in the credits they credited James MaCavoy with all 23(?) of his personalities. Even the ones that weren’t in the movie

James McAvoy deserves an Oscar for playing at least 24 different personalities in one movie!

The real mvp is that cheerleaders who didnt leave their friend who ate that table

Never forget. Glass's plan from the beginning was to find and expose the truth of living gods to the world. That was his only goal ever. Nothing else.

Nobody: Hedwig:Wanna see me dance?

I was so confused when Elijah said "It isn't a limited edition mama, It's an origin story." I wondered who's origin story was it and then I realized it was every other superhero's. My god this movie was brilliant!

4th twist... M. Night is actually making his own super-human/hero universe to go against DC and Marvel.

Always thought David’s water weakness was kinda weird like yea drowning is my weakness too

When you can’t afford anything so you watch foundflix to see what happens EDIT: this is my first time to get this much likes, I know it’s a sad amount, but I’m thankful

Don't know about anyone else but I bloody loved it The "pathetic death" of the 3 felt more real than going to a massive tower to fight

But then the Osaka Tower has an elevator possessed by the devil, and it's summoning aliens to the roof, and it turns out Bruce Willis is from this species as he shares their water weakness, and then it's revealed the whole thing is a small 2018 themed city being held in a 2147 metropolis' zoo. And then they all have to team up when the plants all go crazy, and then hot-dog guy comes riding in on a horse leading an army of Sixth Sense ghosts.

The puddle scene pissed me off so much. I would rather see David drown in the tank than see some random mortal kill him nonchalantly in front of his son after Sarah Paulson gives him a farewell speech.

The Beast (weakness): his name Glass (weakness): brittle bones The Overseer (weakness): water Love the concept.

So basically, Glass is JoJo part 9.

So he broke himself out of the water container while fighting against the beast , but couldn't get himself free from two normal humans drowning him on a pot hole?🤔

Everyone bashing "Glass", I'm over here like, "....but I really liked it" O.o

I don't hate Glass and that's probably because McAvoy is so amazing, but I hate the way David died. Unbreakable is one of my favorite movies and I'm gonna find it hard to go back and watch it knowing his life is gonna end in a damn puddle by the hands of some faceless jackass.

Hey did you watched Glass? Me: (Done watching foundflix) *yeah*

The thing that I like most about this movie is that is closes out the stories of these characters and seals Mr. Glass as the most fanatical, brilliant villain ever.

Amazing movie but... wish they didn’t kill them off would have liked to see another movie

This video made me realise how similar you are to Shaggy from the live action Scooby Doo

I caught myself routing for the villains

I’m sad Kevin is dead. Honestly he was a refreshing character and I’ll stand behind most of Split.

I did like that Glass confirmed the train David was on was the same that Kevin's father was on... that was perfect. But the rest of the third act... Edit: oh, and I'm mainly talking about how I was looking forward to seeing Kevin's reaction to Elijah revealing his involvement with his father's death. Not saying the movie was perfect, or that the scene was perfect, just that we basically only had fan theories about Kevin's father up until Glass.

Whenever Elijah’s bones started to break his screams actually hurt my ears. I think it was just the audio of that one specific theater but lemme know if that scene was super loud.

Casey going to visit Kevin and insisting on speaking with him made sense to me. The last person she trusted was her father, then he died and her uncle abused her for years. Until she was kidnapped and eventually found her strength, being spared by The Beast and getting her uncle sent to prison. The other two girls weren't her friends, they invited her to the party out of pity. Kevin/The Beast saved her and she's grateful for it. Even though he'd done terrible things, he was her hero and he proved that we could be more than we believe.

Just because Shayamalan intended it doesn't make it a good idea.

shoot me, but I actually ENJOYED Glass. I loved Kevin and Elijah, and wept when they died. sorry.

Who here cried when David died? He was my favorite, despite his limited screen time. Bruce Willis’ performance was good imo.

Let’s just say Glass didn’t “shatter” my expectations.

I watched the movie without any glasses but still realized that the movie was a little *transparent* but as a person who has an optimistic point of view. The glass is always half full to me. You know what they say. "Seven days without a pun makes one weak"

If they wanted to run away they could've escaped easily but the mastermind had a clean purpose with a plan. That female Agent said, It was a suicide mission, Oh Elijah what have you done ".

The ending doesn't conclude the story, instead it just asks more questions and begs for a sequel. I figured some of the characters would die, but David died like a chump. The whole movie, I hated Sarah Paulson's character. I knew it was intentional, but I was hoping the beast would kill her.

Good vid. But. I feel like you missed a good portion of split. You had said it was odd Casey would meet with Kevin. I thought it made perfect sense. Kevin made every personality based mainly off of serious past abuse. Something Casey also dealt with.

Glass is actually the pre equel of My Hero Academia it was the start of people developing quirks

I loved the ending, I hated the way they died but I can appreciate what MN did here. I thoroughly enjoyed it and want to watch again

am i the only one who is more upset with kevins death then glass´s or davids?

I honestly liked glass but they didn’t do David Dunn justice at all

I really liked the movie. The twists weren't far fetched yet still unexpected, exactly how a twist should be and it opened the franchise up for future films. The fact that they all died is truly a mindblowing fact, but it is exactly how this movie should be because of the plot. Really, if you've watched this movie you should rewind and watch it again with the fact in mind that this was all some scheme to kill superhumans.

What im confused the most are people kept on saying the obviously foreshadowed scenes keep on calling it "twist". I mean, you watched both the previous movie right? And this is not a run of the mill hollywood action superhero movie, this is more of a character study of superhero in a grounded reality.

Here's how I sum up the ending...M Night pulled the old "Kill em All" card which hasn't gone over well since MacBeth in an attempt to be shocking.

the one thing that really bugged me was david dying. he’s so strong he can break down a metal door but can’t find enough strength to push himself out of a puddle, even in a weakened state. i woulda liked to see him live at least. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I liked this movie. There were some things that were dumb. I hated how David’s story wrapped up. I wish it had been larger scale. But James McAvoy was great. I liked the fact that Mr. Glass kinda won in the end. And I liked the fight scenes between The Beast and David. I hate that this movie got slammed so hard and YMS rated it as a 1/10 along with the horror movie Slenderman and others. In my own opinion it really wasn’t that bad...

Does Samuel Jackson cuss in this movie too?

She actually told Mr glass that he was "correct in his theory" but whatever. A lot of inaccurate descriptions in this review lol for those who haven't seen it.

@9:30 the beast doesn’t “Bear Hug” Mr glass he grabs his shoulder crushing it and then punches him in the chest backwards in his wheelchair it was spectacular

To understand why the movie ended the way it did, pay close attention to Shyamalan’s penning: “This is not a cartoon. This is the real world”. And in the real world, ladies and gentlemen, people die. Humanity’s greed; quite specifically, their envy, will prevent those gifted from ever coming out of hiding. Mankind will find a way of destroying them, just like internet trolls found on this feed, shunning someone’s art. Nobody rates success as much as they’d like watching someone fall. Humanity didn’t want redundancy, hence killing those gifted without exposure. As soon as Mr Glass’ video surfaced online, we see Dr Ellie Staple (Sarah Paulson) scream because their organisation now knows they’re fighting a losing battle. Humans, sooner or later, will near extinction in evolution of those on the new spectrum; namely, Dunn’s spectrum. The ending, in my humble opinion, is an acquired taste - nevertheless - smart. The war has only just begun. “This was an origin story the whole time”.

"The first superman couldn't even fly"

But in comics characters rarely ever stay dead and always come back

I loved this movie man. To be honest the execution wasn’t on my mind when watching. But the story itself was. I love this story of all 3 movies. The limited, more logical and relatable super hero’s. Mr. Glass being that character that you can never truly figure out what he’s doing or what it part of his plans and what isn’t. The actor that plays Bruce’s son freaks me out cuz his pupils are huge or his eye are too dark making him look like a demon. Lol. But non the less, I hope this story continues and creates more super hero movies. These heros I find better than Marvel. Don’t forget what Glass said. It was all part of his plan. It wasn’t an ending, it was an origin story. I took this as the side characters will have powers or will be like Robin turning into Nightwing type of thing. Or based off what you said, maybe it’s the origin of all super hero’s. The origin of his next films. Maybe Glass was talking to the audience. Also I thought Glass spread the video to everyone and the loved ones were just sent it first. And I don’t see the secret society as being done. I see it as they will have to step out of the shadows and become more of a present. Maybe even getting into politics. As the secret capabilities of super humans are out, there will be more people coming to accept their powers and hone their skills instead of just shrugging it off as it was a cool fluke. So the society will have to take more blunt measures. The way I see this movie, it sets up the entire universe that there truly are super humans and a society that is out to stop them all. And what I like about these hero’s is that they have limits. Correct me if I am wrong but isn’t Bruce’s weakness to water because of his trauma? Just like beating the beast is love and Kevin’s name which goes back to the trauma of his mother? Or it could be Bruce is like a rock and rocks sink in water. But I like the idea that the persons fears are their weakness. Makes them more human than hero. And dude I was pissed too when I saw them in therapy in the trailer. I was like there is so much evidence of Bruce’s strength and durability. Just try and cut him and watch the knife break lol. But then it wasn’t about convincing the shrink but the shrink making them doubt what they already know even with the amount of evidence they have in favor of themselves. No matter what one is confident in, there is always that tiny seed of doubt. And scratching that seed of doubt is one thing but if you can get someone to scratch their own doubts, you can manipulate them. It happens in politics, relationships, friendships. Everywhere. I could be just interpreting it all wrong but it’s a movie so let me enjoy it the way I see it. Lol. Also what I saw is that it looks like psyche does effect ones powers. Doubting ones self will reduce ones powers. Glass and Bruce’s powers do seem to be genetic. But kevins is all mental. If Bruce’s trauma is what causes his weakness then psyche does effect his powers. Which is just like real life. People who doubt themselves and can’t over come their demons are doomed to wallow in their own self loathing. It’s got that believe in yourself message is what I’m saying. Lol. The topic of hope and belief is a great topic that I personally love when conveyed in a clever way

I liked the movie a lot, it left me wanting more

I loved the fact that Mr.Glass was smart enough to know that the doctor wasn't who she say she was. How in the end, he still won. The tower was brilliant diversion for his true master plan which was simple, showing the world via livestream that people with special abilities do exist. Love how he sent it to all their loved ones so that they can spread the truth.

tbh, I don’t think I can ever forgive m. night for avatar

How do you kill David that easily, in a puddle, REALLY!!!!

I liked the movie a lot minus some specific things. Obviously it would be better if David stayed alive. His story arch was weak but not necessarily bad or a waste. I didn't like the inconsistency of how water affected David. In 'Unbreakable' David's weakness is that he can't swim cause the composition of his body and weight. But in 'Glass' water worked like kryptonite. That's a retcon that didn't work for me. I can stipulate that the end was underwhelming and there somo plo-tholes that can distract the attention of the viewer. But for me the movie was not a disappointment. I really try to avoid expectations for any movie. My only expectation is for a movie to be good enough for me to like. I never create expectations about wanting to see specific things in a movie. To feel excitement about a movie is okay but never if it becomes overhype. People should learn to manage better their excitement and expectations. That way they can appreciate a movie for what it is and not for what they wanted to see. If the people don't like the movie is fine but at least is because understandable reasons. That been said, fan or not of Shyamalan, I think he deserves credit to be willing to keep creating original films that stay away from the norm ('The Last Airbender' and 'After Earth' aside). A lot of people complain that cinema is saturated with franchises, sequels, reboots or remakes of known IP's but when a guy like Shyamalan make original stories with a distinctive style then he's label as an egocentric turd. I think that's not fair.

A man that can punch through steel and move 6 men around like small children is drowned in a shallow ass puddle.....smh. That was very disappointing. It would be like the Hulk choked out by Loki...just doesn't make sense. Weakness or not, he had enough strength to break the water container but not enough to roll over? Come on man!

The interconnection between all 3 films and their characters is seamless, remember the trilogy wasn’t planned from the beginning just to be able to rescue the storyline between all 3 is an accomplishment good job Mr M.Night!

I keep telling people this. Shyamalan is just not a good storyteller. He got lucky a couple of times and made a couple of movies without fucking them up, and that's it. He's just a mediocre filmmaker and will never be anything but that.

I feel bad for this series. This movie was so unfinished-feeling with its filming, acting and story that it ruined the movie and created a whole new aspect of the series which was supposed to have only 3 movies.

So David survived a tragic train wreck, but cant survive a puddle more than my shoe

The whole point of that death is that it's supposed to be shitty, degrading etc.

I’m very confused by everyone I’m seeing here saying “people didn’t like it because they were expecting a Marvel movie”. Who? Why world anyone expect that? It wasn’t marketed like that, it’s a sequel to Unbreakable/Split, so I’d assume most people who went to see it liked those films and since they’re not at all like Marvel movies, there’s no reason to be expecting a Marvel blockbuster. I wanted to see a good conclusion to two films I enjoyed, with David and Kevin as the main characters. What I got was a boring, unentertaining, and insulting end to a story that began 19 years ago, all that wait for this shit.

To be honest i loved the movie. People are dissappointed because they were expecting something from marvel movies

I feel Bruce Willis has aged a lot since unbreakable. Certain scenes were too much for his body. It was very clear with the up-close shots of the fighting scenes. But overall the movie was pretty good. I agree the 3 twists were all over the place. And without Kevin and the hoard, the movie would have sucked.

Getting real tired of Hollywood's recent trend of "subverting expectations".

The director thought the realism of the trilogy would be original, creative and a good way to end the trilogy. It was definitely original, but not creative or a good way to end the trilogy. Just because something is original doesn't mean it's creative! Not does it mean it's good.

I honestly had no hope whatsoever for this movie, but its actually really amazing to me. I honestly love this movie. I think people just automatically assumes that since its labeled as a ‘superhero’ movie they immediately have a pretty strong bias to what they think the story should be due to the fact that the genre is pretty much dominated by Marvel. Marvel movies are generally lighthearted in tone and although we occasionally have darker moments in the movie, it almost always ended up with a pretty happy ending not counting IW. Due to the nature of the films, superheroes in Marvel are also generally much more fantastic and... well, super. They also always have a clear cut winner in the end be it the heroes or in the case of Infinity War, the villain. And whenever there is death in a Marvel movie its usually not too consequential like Yondu and Freya, even in Infinity War we all know that most if not everyone will get revived in some way in Endgame. Compare that to the universe Glass takes place in, its a whole different set of rules. The ‘superheroes’ in Glass are way more grounded in reality (well as grounded as being bulletproof can be) compared to those of Marvel. In fact I’d argue they’re not even superheroes/villains, but rather regular people who just happens to have superpowers. The movie ends with a bittersweet victory, with the main characters dead while the existence of superhumans are now out in the open. This ending IMO is the exact opposite of a Marvel movie ending. Deaths that actually hold significant weight to the story, a sacrifice to pay for the ultimate goal and an ending with no clear cut winner. I honestly don’t think theres anything wrong with that. I think that with how saturated the superhero genre is with Marvel, people automatically thinks that if it doesn’t resemble a Marvel movie then its not a good movie. I mean look at Aquaman, which performs really well in cinemas because it follows the Marvel movie formula. I think that people came into the cinemas to watch Glass, expecting something similar to the Avengers, and was disappointed to learn that it isn’t an Avengers movie. Well of course you won’t be getting the Avengers feel from this movie, its not about kind-hearted and quirky gaggle of superheroes teaming up to save the world. Almost every critics I see rates this movie as horrible or disastrous or disappointing but at the same time whenever I see comments from someone who isn’t a movie critic they generally enjoy the movie. Don’t get me wrong there are unnecessary plots in Glass, like the secret clover organization thing, which we could do without. But honestly I don’t think people are treating this movie fairly... And as someone who absolutely loves the superhero/comicbook genre, its just a little disappointing to me that a lot of people are so opposed to changes and deviations from the standards. Then again maybe I’m just rambling, who knows.

i saw this movie with my little brother, we had both heard bad/not so stellar reviews of it, but we ended up liking it...i personally thought it was a decent enough movie....there were a couple of things that bothered me, but mainly this: when paulson's character near the end was like "we aren't executioners (or whatever)" i was like...DUDE, YOU GUYS LITERALLY KILLED DUNN!!! WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, LADY?! smh

I think a better “twist” would have been Haley Joel Osment’s character from “The sixth sense” showing up as a patient at the hospital because he “still sees dead people” and he could be revealed as a character in the same universe as Split, Unbreakable Etc...

Watching Kevin die made me cry. He was my favorite character :(

The oshka building was a misdirect by Mr. Glass because his real intention was just for The Beast And David to have a showdown for the security cameras would catch it and he had a link for it to be sent to his mom and the other two supporting characters.

It's Unbreakable! You cant Split Glass!

I loved Glass, especially the 3rd act. Remember, this is the real world

I don't care what anyone says. I loved Glass. Such a great and long awaited ending to a fabulously written story.

The reason David probably died of a puddle was because remember he was still recovering from the tank

David Dunn dying to a random police officer is like Batman dying to an 8 year old.

You are suggesting that the movie take the predictable hero cookie cutter formula

I actually really enjoyed glass

None of the "twist" named here are actually twist. The entire premise of the series is that superhero stories are exaggerated tellings of extraordinary people and events. Elijah told you the reason to go to the tower is for the world to see supers revealed. The gun in the Checov's gun analogy is the cameras. The tower is the big bright shiny thing in the corner. NOTHING ABOUT THIS MOVIE SERIES is big bright or shiny. Moreover, David Dunn foreshadowed his demise in Unbreakable. Your twist are only reveals. M.Night isn't subtle, he kept telling you where he was going, but You were too busy looking for a twist. It was all layed out for you .

I actually think taking classic cliched expectations and just shitting on them is fantastic. David dying in a puddle in a parking lot is an example of being comic book fantastic and gritty real

YES just was watching you

If only glass had a end credit scene that david don son had superpowers

I swear to god, if Brightburn turns out to be tied into this universe I'm Gunna freak

I liked the movie.......I don’t like that this is the last movie in the series though

I’m sad we didn’t see the tower fight but man the ending made up for it to me I flipping loved it

Cool the ending is basically what magneto was trying to do in XMen

Can M. Night just take a step back for once and let someone else write his film?

I wouldn’t say Casey was friends with those girls. They were part of her art class that the girl invited for her party. She felt she had to invite her. Also, I think Casey feels a connection to Kevin with them both being abused by a family member. Like Kevin says in split “ you are pure” and has seen how horrible the world can be and not everyone is lucky to have parents that don’t abuse you.

Okay okay okay. Casey and Kevin are totally the best Beauty and the Beast adaptation. Hands down.

Glass has a similar plot to Godzilla King of the Monsters. Heros(Kaiju) exist and a group is trying to hide them. But there is no eco-terrorist using the hero's to rebalance the Earth.

Ø555Ø PLOT TWIST. This is a STRAIGHT MOVIE. Shamalan: You were expecting a twist? Now that's a twist from me.

My favorite scene was Joseph telling Kevin what really happened to his dad, I found that to be the most interesting part of the movie. It was really lame the way they killed David though the whole point was about using their weaknesses to do them in.

I literally just got an ad for the movie glass while watching this video

Holy Christ I just realized foundflix is shaggy

James McAvoy is very handsome

I kept expecting a post credit scene where all of their ghosts were haunting Haley Joel Osment....

That David drowning scene... YIKES

The water tank was there because that's the water they used to put up the safety precautions for David. Just before he's shown in the room with the pipes there's a shot of the tank outside, basically another Chekhov's gun. I also appreciate how they had Sarah Paulson's character have damp hair in the first few scenes after Overseer/Beast are captured, because it was raining.

It wasn't even the anticipation that killed the trilogy it was the bad screenplay writing and underwhelming character development. It was the goodfather 3 of its trilogy

One movie which is really confusing and hope you make a video is Tank 482 There is a lot to explain
