In The Prestige, Angier also sealed his own doom by throwing away the secret to Borden's trick before reading what it was.

Let's not forget Neil McCauley making the grave error of not killing Waingro when the opportunity presented itself in 'Heat'. That mistake starts the chain of events that ultimately leads to his own demise and his crew members.

@ArcherSuh4721 24 күн бұрын

Yeah, but it's not like he chose to let Waingro go. I'd argue that Neil McCauley's mistake in Heat was going after Waingro. He was in the home stretch of his escape and would've gotten away with his girl in tow but he wanted payback. His desire for vengeance was totally understandable and not killing Waingro would have probably eaten away at him for the rest of his life but it doomed him in the end.

@@ArcherSuh4721 He could've or rather should've held Waingro down with his foot/knee, preventing him from escaping. Waingro escaping was solely his own mistake. Also, using a Silencer on his gun would've made things a lot simpler.

Clearly Adam from WhatCulture never actually watched Snatch otherwise he would have picked up on the error with Mickey there as he was mindlessly regurgitating the script handed to him.

In the book Harrys mistake was even worse. Sirius gave him a way to communicate with him at all times. Harry didnt even bother checking the mirror

@Ceares 24 күн бұрын

To be fair to Harry, he wasn't thinking clearly or logically for most of that book. He had hormones raging, the trauma from Cedric's death and seeing Voldy resurrected, people calling him a liar about what happened, Rita Skeeter, the great pink evil, the Order not telling him anything, Dumbledore mindscrewing him, Voldy mindscrewing him, and Snape mindscrewing him. It's not surprising he made the mistake he did, it's surprising it wasn't worse.

Patroclus was not a cousin to Achilles. They were much more to each other but the writers had to hetero it up.

@CraftySouthpaw 9 күн бұрын

The problem with calling killing Patroclus a "mistake" is that Hector did it out of necessity to halt the Greeks' counterattack. Hector's real mistakes were either killing Menelaus when Paris lost the duel fair & square (which is in the movie, but NOT the book) OR (in both the movie & the book) waiting outside the walls of Troy to face Achilles alone.

I don't see how Brick driving Mickey's odds down favours Mickey. That reduces the winnings. Mickey winning the fight is what gets him a payout although a low one. Doesn't make sense

@Krezznet 16 сағат бұрын

In Harry Potter they explicitly stated that they don't know if the dark Lord is aware of the connection and it was through the connection Harry was able to save Mr Weasleys life after he saw him attacked in the Ministry of Magic, the logic is all there and sound, he thought he saw another real vision like he had before and there was no reason to suspect Voldemort was controlling the connection in any way at that point in the story.

Do some basic research ffs. Patroclus was Achilles LOVER, not his cousin. This was changed to make the film more palatable to homophobic audiences in 2004 but there is no excuse for compounding that erasure in 2024. Shame on you!
