Does this trope have a name? Trying like balls to find it on TVtropes but to no avail.
>>87296688

>Two characters keep trying to outwit each other to the point that things get out of control and one guy gets the other killed but it turns out that the guy that got killed has an identical twin who then kills the guy that originally got the other guy killed.

I believe,it's this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prestige_(film)
>Protagonist teams up with guy who is untrustworthy.
>While they're working together, guy who is untrustworthy tries to attack protagonist, but misses.
>"I knew I couldn't trust you!" yells the protagonist.
>Protagonist realizes that there was something about to attack him from behind, and the untrustworthy guy just saved him.

The funny thing is that after the first click a irl unloaded gun wouldn't click anymore.
That's what makes this even more annoying.

bonus points if it's snowing and cold outside
I hate that trope, OP! It's often a cop out when they can't decide who should win, especially when they market the movie as the ultimate fight between two famous characters.
I'm looking at you, Batman vs Spiderman

Actually Trustworthy Irishman saves Now Repentant Scotsman trope a la Braveheart

I've been looking for this pepe forever
thanks. here's a wojak
>no set design, feels empty and lifeless
>no interesting ideas for storylines and generally bad writing
>relies on gimmicks only instead
>those are unoriginal or just bad, unfortunately ("fuck you, albert", glove, andy and lucy, coordinates, riddles, ...)
>bad acting (Bell, Lynch, Horse, Robertson, Dern, ...)
>dull characters (one-dimensional at best)
>storylines and characters are introduced for no purpose
>everything is supposed to weirdly connect and make sense
>shot in digital in a way that doesn't compensate for the technology's disadvantages (looks bad)
>roadhouse scenes (out of place, badly shot, the songs, the bands, the extras, ...)
>student-tier storytelling/editing (characters are shown walking up complete sets of stairs)
>stretched out needlessly, long takes have no particular effect
>everything above is literally cringe-tier in concept and implementation
>obviously delusional and/or inexperienced fanbase perceiving it as particularly meaningful, complex or "deep"
>can't compare to the original series that doesn't have those problems (coherent/complex and beautiful sets, costumes and make-up/well shot/well acted/well written/magnificent multi-dimensional characters and character relations, music, storylines and gimmicks/creates a unique athmosphere as a result, changing the world of television forever whereas "the return" neither manages to do something established really good nor to invent something new)
>somehow the best thing in tv history
>>87296837
Person of Interest, I won't say who because it'll spoil the introduction of that antagonist which is one of the best episodes of season 1.

The message here is that the villain isn't truly evil, and enjoys a game of 'cat and mouse', with a worthy opponent.
