Apparently Split Gave Away Its Twist Ending On Its Poster
A rather astute user on Imgur noticed the fact that if you take one of the international poster for Split and mapped it up next to the poster for Unbreakable,
you'll see that the glass is cracked on both posters in such a way that
they connect. So instead of two panes of glass being broken, you see
one gigantic piece fractured over the course of two images. Kevin has
literally fractured David's world in this visual metaphor, which is
interesting considering where M. Night Shyamalan is going with these movies.
Considering that there could be a third Unbreakable
universe film on the way, the fractured glass indicates a sort of
disruption in this universe's fabric. What's causing this disruption?
The existence of superpowered/special ability wielding humans, such as
David, Kevin, and to the alternative extent, Mr. Glass. With the
discovery of such persons, the world will start to change in order to
combat any threats these people may pose to the rest of the world. Think
of this as M. Night Shyamalan's version of X-Men, except quite possibly being set totally in Philadelphia and on a more intimate scale.
Any sort of follow up to Split is surely being discussed at Universal
as we speak, as the film has managed to bring in a little over $100
million on a $9 million budget. With two solid weekend at the box office
and many critics in its corner, it looks like Shyamalan may have a bite
at the franchiser's apple yet again. Only this time, the series on the
line will be from his own mind rather than an adaptation of a beloved
animated series. Whether he sticks the landing on Unbreakable 3 is
yet to be seen. But what we can see is that much like his movies,
Shyamalan's marketing campaigns are sometimes hiding the truth right
under our noses.
Split is currently in theaters, in case you haven't seen it or need to go over the clues again.
