Since It Was His Sled is about twist endings, are any of those really examples? Only the last one occurs at the end of the movie, and none of these "revelations" really fundamentally alter the plot.

That, and a year and a bit is by no stretch of the imagination long enough to declare any twist "known by everyone" as IWHS requires.

So the examples should be deleted instead of being uncommented?

Also, I've seen It Was His Sled be used for any twist that's widely known, not just endings. But that's another issue.

We're not quite to the point where we can declare this IWHS.

Admittedly, I don't know why they bothered hiding it at all. The argument was that it's too early to tell for sure, but we can't just keep things hidden indefinitely on the off chance they might maybe be true one day. We should cut it now and re-add it if we have to later.

Alright, I cut the examples. As a sidenote, this query made me put It Was His Sled on Tropes Needing TRS.
