The tragic, yet lovable anime character dies horribly, like a dog. So does their unrequited love interest. And probably the pet. ---

Babs and company kill the Marbles and decide to move to Boise. Babs and company escape from the Tweedys and move to the countryside. Babs gets rejected by Mr. Thackeray who decides to stay on. Babs and company get what’s coming to them from the imp. (Or something like that.) ---

\*\ ***Warning!** Most of the spoilers already given in this thread have been a bit cryptic in that they haven’t explicitly said what book/movie they’re referring to, or they even just use pronouns instead of the proper character names. I’m not doing that on some because I don’t think make the book/movie clear if I did, even to people in the know… / **Warning!** \*\* The judge is the killer in “And then there were none…” His early “death” was a red herring. The first person narrator in “The Murder of Roger Ackroyd” is actually the murderer – he achieved it through some vague narration and the use of a phonograph. One of the women thought to have been killed in “The Killer Inside Me” doesn’t actually die – she survives and turns the murderer in. Brigid O’Shaugnessy shoots Sam Spade’s partner, and the Maltese Falcon they’re all fighting over is actually a forgery – the real one is yet to be found. Judy and Madeleine are actually the same person – it was all an elaborate scam to kill the real Madeleine, and poor Scottie just happened to get too involved. The Boys from Brazil are clones of Hitler. The Stepford Wives are robots! Rosemary’s carrying _Satan’s_ baby!! ---

The Winter Soldier is actually Bucky Barnes. The Swordsman is Andreas von Strucker. Mar-Vell and the Skrull princess Anelle are Hulking’s parents. Jamie Maddrox’s dupe murdered Rictor by pushing him off a ledge. Luke Cage and Jessica Jones’ baby is a girl. Ronin is Echo. In _Welcome Back Frank_, Matt pulls the trigger. ---

Rhett leaves Scarlett, saying “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn!” but the last line is actually, “Tomorrow is another day.” Eliza comes back to Henry Higgins (in MY FAIR LADY), but she marries Freddie in the play PYGMALION. Pharoah’s army gets drowned in the Sea, and Yul Brenner is glorious in total defeat. The Americans defeat the British, who surrender at Yorktown. Columbus’s three ships fail to find land, the current becomes too strong, and they are pulled off the edge of the earth. ---
