Glass

In the end, the film reveals that Mr. Glass’s entire plan was a carefully orchestrated stunt to bring superpowered beings into the public eye. His death and the subsequent release of videos exposing his “superpowers” serve as a final act of heroism, intentionally designed as a kind of ultimate reveal—an origin story for a world suddenly aware of superhuman abilities. Elijah’s end, marked by his confession that the showdown was an origin story, underscores this idea: it’s the beginning of a new universe, where society must confront the reality of superpowers and reconsider what they believe. The deaths of David, Kevin, and Elijah are deeply symbolic, each meeting their respective fates in ways fitting their origins—David drowns, Kevin is shot in his weaker state, and Elijah succumbs to his physical disabilities—highlighting that society, unwilling to accept these heroes, ultimately rejects them.

Meanwhile, a secret organization called the Clover group has been pulling the strings behind the scenes, trying to keep superpowers hidden by convincing people they are illusions or mental illnesses. Their plan is not to kill these heroes but to make sure they believe they are ordinary, which ultimately fails as the trio fully embraces their powers and the truth. The story closes on a world now aware of superhuman potential, challenging existing beliefs and opening the door to an uncertain future. Although the film concludes this chapter definitively, it leaves room for new stories, with the old organization Largely discredited and the world on the verge of a paradigm shift—setting the stage for a universe where superheroes are a reality, even if their existence remains a secret to most. The movie’s ending thus serves as both a culmination of Elijah’s lifelong quest and a new beginning for a universe forever changed.
