In your opinion, what's an overrated (or overhyped) fictional twist and what's an underrated one?

(you can pick twists in specific works or general tropes)

As a follow-up to yesterday's , what's a SPECIFIC plot point/plot twist that you think is overrated (or overplayed) and what's an underrated one?

(By specific I mean not just a broad trope but a specific thing that happens like Vader being Luke's father, or Cloud's memories being incorrect, or Murder on the Orient Express' "everybody did it")

You can spoiler warning your answer if you feel it reveals too much, but I do wanna know every gory detail you want to share.

@ami_angelwings I'm not even sure it was that clever or well done, but the shit Ghost Trick pulled with Missile being an even gooder boi than previously believed right at the very end had me shook. I'm still thinking about it months later.
