Glass: 16 WTF Moments

5. Plot Twist! Mr. Glass Killed Kevin's Dad

It was speculated by fans following the release of Split that Kevin's dad may have been a victim of Unbreakable's Eastrail 177 crash, and surprise surprise, that's exactly what we find out in Glass' third act.

Just as David and The Beast are about to battle one another, Joseph interjects and announces that Kevin's dad, Clarence W. Crumb, was sat mere seats away from David when the train crashed.

Though not a terribly shocking reveal, it does fundamentally alter the dynamic of the characters in a satisfying way, ultimately leading to Elijah's death once his bones are mortally crushed by The Beast.

Plus, Elijah frustratedly telling Joseph not to let the cat out of the bag just yet hilariously casts Glass in the role of director, desperately trying to keep his elaborate plan from falling apart at the seams.

Stay at home dad who spends as much time teaching his kids the merits of Martin Scorsese as possible (against the missus' wishes). General video game, TV and film nut. Occasional sports fan. Full time loon.
