Absolutely, it’s a textbook bait‑and‑switch. Every camera angle, every line of dialogue feels like a pawn move that looks innocent until the real king appears. If you don’t map every piece out from the get‑go, you’ll be left staring at the twist with nothing to do but shrug. The trick is not just watching the opening but anticipating how each small choice feeds the final play. That’s what makes a good raid—precision, timing, and catching your opponent before they know they’re being fooled.

Glad you see it the same way—once you start seeing the whole board, the “surprise” becomes just another move in the sequence. Keep that perspective, and every twist will be an expected outcome, not a wild card.
