15. M. Night Shyamalan's Cameo Retcon

Shyamalan loves to make laughably unsubtle cameo appearances in his movies, and Glass sure isn't any different.

He shows up within the first 10 minutes, reprising the role of Jai from Split, as he purchases some surveillance equipment from David Dunn's security store.

What follows is an awkward exchange where Jai sheepishly watches David and his son Joseph (Spencer Treat Clark) bickering, before Jai mentions to David that he recognises him from the city's football stadium.

The obvious implication is that Jai is the sketchy stadium drug dealer from Unbreakable, with Jai commenting that he managed to turn his life around with the power of positive thinking.

Ultimately it's just a groan-worthy attempt by Shyamalan to tie everything together into a singular tapestry, even though it can't help but seem completely contrived in this case.
