Of course, as Nearly on Red points out, there are famous exceptions to the rule such as War of the Worlds but those are exceptions because the story had a specific purpose that required such a jarring twist.
To bring it all together, for this Virm twist to work it has to lead into how Hiro x ZeroTwo's story will be resolved. If it doesn't then yes, it was a flaw ending and a poor execution of such a twist.

Well, APE always felt otherworldly. You know, the masks and all that. You could tell there was a mystery about them. Then when princess called them "wannabe-humans" that pretty much settled it. The alien twist wasn't a twist at all. Not if you were paying attention.
