Voldemort kills Snape.

And then it turns out they're both Tyler Durden.
 


For a lot of people my age, Empire Strikes Back was the first time we were confronted with a story where what we thought was true turned out to be a lie. Everything we thought we knew about Darth Vader was upended.

Going more modern, Song of Ice and Fire's/Game of Thrones' Red Wedding. When I first read that passage, I stopped in shock and had to re-read that section to make sure what was on the page was on the page.

On that note, Ned Stark getting beheaded was a pretty big shock to people as well. No one thought the main character would get killed off in the penultimate episode of the first season!

When I read the book, I didn't believe he was really dead. I figured it was some kind of trick - I don't think Arya (as the POV character in the chapter describing the event) actually sees it happen. It wasn't until a long way into the second book that I realised I had to take it at face value. That kind of thing just didn't happen in fantasy at the time.

Ooh, some more from GoT:

Jon Snow dies and is brought back to life.

Jon Snow is actually Daenerys’ nephew!

Arya is the one to kill the Night King.

Jaime subverts expectations by reversing his redemption arc and returning to die in the arms of his lover/sister.

One from the books:

Catelyn Stark survives the Red Wedding thanks to some Lord of Light shenanigans, and then basically gets forgotten about.

Plus for those of us who remember Leia kissing Luke in the first movie, EW.

(At least it wasn't The Hotel New Hampshire.)

I haven't liked a single Star Wars movie since the original, and I was 9 or 10 when I saw that. Before you cry in shock, I haven't seen a single Star Wars movie since The Phantom Menace put me off the franchise forever. On the plus side, it inspired Tales of the Sith Academy, which provided many a chuckle for months after.
