Thorin later says the same thing to Smaug (as the last words he says in the dragon's face) when he triggers a trap in an unsuccessful attempt to kill the dragon. Kathryn's curse to Thorin ends up fitting the canon events leading up to Thorin's canonical death. As for Smaug, [[SparedByTheAdaptation he survives thanks to Kathryn's interference]]. However, Thorin's somewhat hypocritical curse comes to play in the sequel known as ''Heart of Ashes'': Smaug ends up having a permanent nasty affliction that will enslave him to Sauron's will if he ever caves to his darkest urges, so he's forced to give up on his plans to take the Lonely Mountain and his treasure back.

Much later on, after [[spoiler:Adrien has been stripped of the ring]], Marinette finally manages to help him see the flaw in his reasoning by acting like she wants to force the 'kiss test' onto him. Adrien realizes that it's not much fun [[ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine having someone pursue you over your objections]].
