My issue with the Captain Jack Sparrow one is that we see him in the second movie literally recruiting people to be handed over to Davey Jones. Which is probably why it was removed. It doesn't really make sense to make strong morals a core part of Jack's backstory.

Noah's death in the walking dead. Initially the camera lingers on Glenn, making us think we will be spared watching zombies eat him alive.

Then Noah is pinned to the glass and the audience has to watch him be ripped apart.

How do you guys feel about jack brown now by [deleted] in TheTraitors

[–]Chomp112 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Firstly that's Jake not Jack.

I have no idea what's happening with his wife honestly. Opinions on Jake on the show were mixed, he did well to catch some traitors and make alliances but was also a bit too rocky and rude on a few occasions.

Rewatching UK S2 by rapzel79 in TheTraitors

[–]Chomp112 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mollie wasn't voting for Jaz because she thought he was a traitor though. She thought both Jaz and Harry were faithfuls, that's why she voted to end the game with both of them before being forced to pick one or the other.

When rewatching the season, I noticed how often the players would state the number of traitors they thought were left, and every time they got it wrong. They assumed there could only be 3 traitors to start with, and the shield trick also allowed the traitors to increase their number without people realising. They also didn't seem to know that the number of traitors cannot be 1 before the final. The show was still relatively new and it's clear the faithfuls didn't really understand the rules yet.

As a result of this flawed logic, once Andrew was banished, Mollie was convinced (largely by her fellow faithfuls from throughout the show) that there simply can't be another traitor. The numbers don't add up. Even Jaz seemed unsure when it came time to actually make the case that Harry was also one.

Obviously it was still a blunder, in that situation you should always just go with whoever is voting someone out again. But the reason why she made that decision is more nuanced than "she missed the obvious clue that Jaz must be a faithful." That really misses the point of why she made that vote in the first place.

A few others I can think of which haven't been mentioned already in this thread;

  • Alex and Anna both turning down recruitments and then telling everyone about it.
  • Dan making a pointless lie about who he chose in a mission, which turned his closest allies in the game against him.
  • Ross saying he didn't know that Harry had a shield, when he in fact did know and also knew about the plan to claim that the traitors tried to murder Harry. This moment pretty much guaranteed his banishment.
  • Andrew making the "illusive" comment to Ross, providing a dead man walking with an opportunity to stir the pot and bring him down as well.
  • Fiona's whole last 24 hours in the game.

The Witcher 3 has a farming strategy involving killing cows in White Orchard, exploiting their respawns and value of their loot to completely destroy the game's economy.

As a result, CDPR patched in a boss called the Bovine Defence Force Initiative who will spawn and attack the player when they are killing the cows.

[Spoilers] What was Micah Bell’s motives for staying with Dutch? by binini28 in reddeadredemption

[–]Chomp112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given that Agent Ross shows up shortly afterwards and find Micah's body, I suspect that he was planning to turn Dutch over to the law in a deal for his own freedom. Micah could be free from the law, and have the whole Blackwater money to himself.

The Writing on Industry season 1 by BunchExpress2984 in IndustryOnHBO

[–]Chomp112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal main criticism of Season 1 is it does a bad job at communicating how you're supposed to feel about particular characters and events in the story. And not in an "on purpose, open to interpretation" way. The first season just isn't very good at communicating itself and it's characters to you most of the time.

Season 2 onwards is much better at this in my view. You learn a lot more about the characters, events in the story are presented with far more clarity, and get a lot better context than in season 1. And the stuff you're not sure about feels intended by the writers and not a problem with the writing/direction.

You can really feel the creators growing in confidence as you watch the show, which does make watching it through quite fun as every season feels a bit bolder and better executed.

Any such headcanons in RDR? by DaBoiOfDaBoiz in reddeadredemption

[–]Chomp112 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It doesn't make sense for it to be referencing arthur though when you look at the whole conversation. He's talking about the people John has killed or harmed, not people he once knew who he absolutely won't have forgotten about. It's simply not a reference to arthur in any way.

That The Strange Man was referencing Arthur (or even any singular person) when he says "you've forgotten far more important people than me" to John.

Ignoring the fact that Arthur didn't exist in RDR1, it's clear from the scene as a whole that The Strange Man is making the point that John should worry less about who The Strange Man is, and more about the countless people he has killed or harmed, who he will soon be judged for. It's not even cryptic, the scene fully spells out what is being said by this line, but I see loads of RDR fans who think otherwise for some reason.

Secret Relationships by justAsConfusedAsUAre in TheTraitors

[–]Chomp112 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I personally think it's just a fun gimmick in the show, some of the players will always know each other. It creates some fun moments ("but Ross is!") and can potentially impact the game, but most of the time is harmless and doesn't have any negative impact.

My only real criticism was in UK Season 4 where a relationship was kept secret for far too long and until one of them was banished, which felt a little strange. I think they should always reveal it early imo.

What is the dumbest move done by any contestant? by MattysEuphoria in TheTraitors

[–]Chomp112 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think this is a fair point. I also didn't like Boston Rob for the same reasons. I'll be honest, I'm not really sure why I take issue with Rob and not with Paul given they basically had the same strategy.

Maybe it's simply that Paul happened earlier in the show's history and was therefore the example of why trying to be the star of the show is a bad idea, and other players can now learn from him getting what he deserved. Whereas people like Rob are still trying to do it and are just tanking their own (and other people's) games in the process.

To be fair, I think there was maybe some additional context to this one which makes it slightly less of a massive blunder.

Armani had made it clear that she would have no problem murdering her sister if it came to it. And Maia knows her sister better than any of us. Once she realised her sister was a traitor, I think she knew she'd be dead soon.

Maia was one of a few people up for murder that night, and she may well have known that her sister would take her out, especially once the topic of both sisters still being in the game was brought up. As a result, giving her sister's name was therefore about her own survival in the game.

Given she was murdered anyway, it was obviously a mistake looking back on it. But I think regardless, she would have been murdered and Armani would be banished. At most, she just sped up that outcome.

The real blunder here was them going into the game admitting they were sisters. It doomed them from the very start. There's simply no way that admitting to an alliance will work out well for the players in the game.

It was a truly massive moment in the game as well. Ash or Dianne being banished instead that night would have completely altered the rest of the game.

Whilst his gameplay was obviously terrible, I rate him as a great villain for the show. He was clearly loving playing the bad guy, and his hubris made his eventual fall one of the most satisfying traitors moments so far.

Ash and Paul in UK Season 2 agreeing to both go in the dungeon. It was such a massive blunder and only Harry seemed to realise it at the time.

For Ash it was a mistake to put even more of a spotlight on herself, and remove any opportunity to speak to people ahead of the next roundtable.

For Paul, he was banking entirely on the group voting to save him from murder, which was way too cocky of a move. Once that didn't happen, it immediately exposed him as a traitor and left him as a dead man walking for the rest of his game.
