Unbreakable/YMMV

• Crowning Music of Awesome: James Newton Howard's score.
• Even Better Sequel: In regards to Shyamalan's follow-up to The Sixth Sense, there is a group of people who believe that this film is Shyamalan's best. Possibly because it isn't as well known and subject to Hype Backlash.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Elijah loves comics and desperately wants to be like the men he has spent his life collecting images of. Twelve years later, Samuel.L.Jackson is playing Nick Fury, a badass Superhero who is head of a team of badass superheroes.
• Seinfeld Is Unfunny: Somewhat averted. While the "Realistic Superman" trope has become very prevalent in pop culture, this film gets a lot of praise for kick-starting it and is commonly viewed as being a good film released at the wrong time.
• Vindicated by History: When this film came out, superhero films were few and far between, and deconstructing something so obscure seemed bizarre. Today superheroes dominate the box office and Unbreakable would fit right in.
  • Double feature with Hancock, anyone?
• The Woobie: Due to genetics being a crapshoot, Elijah has spent roughly a third of his life in a hospital bed. In the end, he is revealed as a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds.
