What happens when a work of fiction, so old or so well-known that knowing its ending doesn't even count as a spoiler, is adapted into a new installment? Mostly the adapters choose to keep the main plot points, so the twist ending will stay, and thus there will be no twist at all. But that's not the only option!
Sometimes the production team do want the viewers to be surprised, and so they will change the twist at the end. This is, of course, especially prone to leaving plot holes if the producers do not change the rest of the plot that leads to the original ending accordingly, leaving the new twist hanging over the plot as if suspended by wires.
If poorly done, it can lead to outcries of They Changed It, Now It Sucks! from fans of the original work for needlessly diverging from an important plot point and possibly even changing the creator's intended themes in the process, on top of poking holes into a plot that was perfectly sound before. When well done, though, it can lead to genuine surprise, a satisfying new resolution, and an excellent application of Death of the Author, in other words, awesomeness.
As a clarification, this Trope deals with Adaptations and Alternate Continuities; de-twisted sequels fall under Meta Twist. Also, if the plot twist was added by a more successful adaptation and removed by a later adaptation/reboot, the later adaptation/reboot counts here since the audience was expecting the earlier imitation; the original, however, would not count and that instance should be taken to Lost in Imitation.
Note: This is a Spoilered Rotten trope, that means that EVERY SINGLE EXAMPLE on this list is a spoiler by default and they will all be unmarked. This is your last warning, only proceed if you really believe you can handle this list. In fact, these spoilers are even more dangerous than the usual variety, since it's impossible to not spoil the twist ending from the moment the name of the work is stated if you're familiar with the original, as well as spoil yourself on both versions if you aren't.Examples: open/close all folders
Comic Strips
- Readers of the original E.C. Segar Popeye comics will be surprised to find out that not only was Bluto a minor oneshot villain in a 1932 story (as opposed to his recurring nemesis in the animated cartoons), but that Popeye did not use his spinach to defeat him, settling for the Twisker Punch instead.
Poetry
- Wilfred Owen's "The Parable of the Old Man and the Young" uses Abraham's divinely ordered sacrifice of Isaac as an allegory for WWI. Except that Abraham ignores the angel telling him to stop.But the old man did not do so, and slew his son.And half the seed of Europe, one by one.
Puppet Shows
- In the Sesame Street episode, "Birdie and the Beast", after Big Bird befriends the Beast, the Witch's curse upon the Beast is broken. However, rather than turn the Beast back into a human, the Beast's hair is straightened out. When a surprised Big Bird tells the Beast that he's still a beast, The Beast tells him that he's always been a beast, and that the Witch's curse just messed up his hair.
- The Muppets were often fond of doing strange retellings of popular stories that took them in strange directions.
- Jim Henson's version of The Frog Prince begins with the princess dropping her ball and agreeing to kiss a frog in exchange for its return, like the fairy tale, then takes a slightly different turn. The story typically has the princess trying to get out of the deal only to be pressed into swallowing her pride and keeping her promise. In Henson's film the princess actually tries to keep her promise only to be delayed by circumstances outside her control. Also it turns out that the Big Bad responsible for turning the prince into a frog also cursed the princess so she can only speak in anagrams (specifically, spoonerisms).
- One episode of the The Muppet Show had Sam the eagle try to read The Ant and the Grasshopper. It starts off alright until out of nowhere it ends with the grasshopper driving off to Florida, and the ant getting stepped on. Lampshaded with Sam immediately getting upset about the story having the wrong ending.
- The Muppet Classic Theater had a version of The Boy Who Cried Wolf that changed a few things. In the original story, the boy decides to cry wolf thinking it woul be fun. In the muppet version, the boy has apparently been repeatedly causing a panic in town warning them about nonexistant disasters. These turn out to be caused by his sheep, who keep exaggerating mundane occurrences (claiming a pile of rocks falling is an earthquake, or a bucket of water falling over is a tidal wave). Furthermore, while the story usually ends with the sheep being eaten by the wolf, the muppet version instead has one of the sheep call in their bigger cousin to trample on him.
Theme Parks
- The haunted house adaptation of The Wolfman (2010) at Universal Studios Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights event in 2009 was the first hint anyone got of the ending of the film: the werewolf gets shot. In the house, however, the fatal shot is performed by a nameless hunter.
Visual Novels
- The Great Ace Attorney:
- Zig-zagged all over the place in Case 2 of Adventures, which is loosely based on the Sherlock Holmes story "The Adventure of the Speckled Band". Firstly, though there is a snake involved in the case, it isn't the cause of death. Secondly, a character named Grimesby Roylott appears, who was the killer in the original story. But then it turns out "Roylott" is actually a disguise for a young ballerina named Nikolina Pavlova. But she's still the killer. But while the original Roylott was a ruthless man who willingly murdered his family for their inheritance, Nikolina is an Anti-Villain who never even meant to kill anyone: she accidentally pushed the victim and he hit his head wrong. And THEN, in Resolve, it turns out the victim didn't die, so it wasn't even a murder.
- This trope is also common in Herlock Sholmes' Dance of Deduction sessions, where many of his deductions are based on the solutions to some of the real Holmes stories. In most cases though, they turn out to be wrong here.
- Misuzu lives in the manga of AIR, while Yukito remains human in The Movie.
Web Animation
- Both of the original books that Homestar Runner was based on were adapted into full cartoons years later, and, in both cases, the ending is changed (though Homestar still expects the original ending in each case.)
- In Strongest Man in the World, Pom Pom refuses to share the trophy that Homestar helped him win.
- In Where My Hat Is At?, Homestar's winning run doesn't count because a) his team is far behind, b) the game isn't close to over, and c) Homestar ran onto the field illegally.
- In the RWBY Chibi Christmas Episode "Nondescript Holiday Spectacular!", Torchwick and Neo decide to pull a How the Character Stole Christmas and steals everyone's Christmas spirit. In his attempt to escape, he finds out Team RWBY is happy through other means, Torchwick is infected by the spirit, his heart grows three times...and proceeds to have a heart attack.
