As a kid it kinda used to bother me when the ghosts or monsters in a cartoon always ended up being a guy in a suit at the end. Always the same thing. I didn't believe in ghosts, but it still disappointed me. The problem was that when they'd show the ghost at the beginning, it would be floating and moving in a way that a guy in a suit couldn't possibly move. It would suddenly appear in front and then in back of its victims, or other things humanly impossible. And then it gets caught at the end and it's just a normal dude in a sheet.
Similarly, I don't like when books pull the same stunt and then explain it all away by saying it was in the person's mind. Or a split personality. There are some stories that pull off the split personality thing well, but now I've seen it used too much. It seems like a cheap way out of an impossibly amazing plot. Not that I can do any better, mind you. ^_^
that is why i never liked scooby doo. :)
