Twist endings have *always* been a staple of good/clever writing. "Surprise" and "hidden" villains have loooong been a part of varied franchises. It is not a "new" trend, nor is it a "passing fancy" or a "phase" which will soon change.

Twist endings no, mostly what is at discussion here is the villain not being the villain. Decoy villains being the order of the day or having villains validated as justified a lot more. Again, not seeing an issue. A character is here if they are a villain. Matters not if they are "surprise" or "hidden". Same for "decoy" AS LONG AS they are still a villain, and not simply an Antagonist/Jerk.

Remember, excluding rare exception, we are classifying according to the Narrative and not by what the Viewer thinks and or likes.
