I think Glass is just a brain villain, like Lex

Great news. Need to watch Unbreakable again since it's been years since I saw it.
Really enjoyed Split and January of 2019 is the perfect release for it.

Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
Not really.
It's not really a screw you lol. How do you announce a sequel to a film that follows on from your last one without mentioning the end of it?
Fuck yes. I'm all in for this. Once it's out on DVD, watching all three in one sitting is going to be a fucking blessing.
Of course. It's great.
Kind of a bummer the Split ending is no longer a spoiler for those who didn't know because I just watched it last weekend with zero knowledge of its connection to Unbreakable and I just about flipped out of my chair at the reveal. One of the best reactionary moments I've ever had watching a film ending. And now this great news!
According to his own definition he was on the opposite scale to Willis -physically-, but that in-universe, by his own defined rules it would give him other advantages (to justify his lifelong pain) and help define himself to give his life meaning.
I mean meta human not so much in terms of super powers but more "out of the ordinary" (for Glass in terms of cunning and intelligence, think Luthor if you will), and it is clearly implied in Split that he became a vilain of a different "stature" than just causing a train/ bus accident here and there.
But we'll see. The Train reference in Split is also interesting in that regard.

January release date huh? You know what that means...
Time to post an irrelevant .gif considering how well January does at the box-office now!
On his twitter feed. Also in the OP.
I mean, he represented an extreme of human condition, frailty. The whole plot of Unbreakable was him trying to find someone who was the opposite. I guess it's plausible that after the events of the movie what he was trying to do and why got out and he became infamous.

I never thought I'd be this excited for a Shyamalan movie in 2017. I still need to see Split though.
Also I'm really sad that got spoiled all around the internet; would've been super cool to see that unexpectedly.

My fiancé spoiled Spilt every chance she got. I'd be like "you guys should see Split" and she'd butt in with a "I don't think they've seen Unbreakable" or "has he seen Unbreakable?" SMH. Literally every time I'd tried to recommend it to someone I know would appreciate the twist.
So I guess that's officially the end of the best reason to see Split.
Break it off. ASAP.

Unbreakable.
But this guy seems to have had an incredible reaction to Split not knowing it's connection:
So I thought maybe Unbreakable had something twisty in connection to Split.
watch unbreakable, and skip Split, it's horrible.

Sucks that some people here got spoiled pretty hard. Watching Split with no idea what the hell It was going in, was awesome!
pretty done

I bet you like tucker and dale vs evil
Could've just said it was a sequel to Unbreakable and left the "is this going to crossover with Split" speculation up to folks who actually watched it and know of the connection. The movie hasn't even been out on dvd/bluray for a month yet. But what's done is done.

So happy I opened this thread before seeing Split. I have it rented and ready to watch and everything.

Yeah. Totally random attack on a fun movie here.
Aaaaanyway. I loved Split and haven't seen Unbreakable. This news makes me happy all the same. I'd been begging for someone to end a movie the way Split ended for ages. Didn't need to have seen Unbreakable to get 'it'.
Minor Gravity spoiler below:
Imagine if when Sandra Bullock climbed out of the lake after splashing back down to Earth, if an Ape had rode up on a horse carrying a machine gun. It would have been the *best*.

I have probably never been more excited. I caused a legit scene in the theater during the end of Split!

Its a silly movie about a guy in a wheelchair blowing up stuff on the off-chance that someone inside is invulnerable. And the invulnerable guy somehow never knew about his strength and crime-sense until he was middle-aged. And its not fun or anything; its deadly serious despite how ridiculous it is.
Well you would have to see Unbreakable first and also not know Spilt had anything to do with Unbreakable. So when you see the ending to Split you'll know and it's fucking awesome.
I just thought Split was another M. Night thriller and nothing more.wesleyshark

"They called me... Mr. Glass." is still one of the best lines, of any film.
I do ! excellent movie.
