Misuse of the page/link; it's about inaccurate depictions of psychology.

Just playing roles that have something in common isn't an Actor Allusion.

Badass Mustache and Badass Beard were merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. Having facial hair is not enough to qualify. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with manliness in some way. Please read the trope description before re-adding to make sure the example qualifies.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: Doyle clearly means well, but when he talks to his daughter about the limitations imposed on girls or to Houdini about the anti-Semitism he faced growing up, his attempts to show that he can relate only demonstrate that he can't and that he lacks any self-awareness of his own privilege.

* SpringHeeledJack: "Spring-Heel'd Jack" sees Houdini and Doyle on the trail of the entity. Fitting closely with the legend is depicted as a tall dark creature in a black cloak, with burning red eyes, capable of incredible feats of agility and able breath blue flames. Starting with a businessman falling to his death, after encountering the entity outside his top floor window, London is soon thrown into a grip of terror when multiple attacks by the phantom occur, including another death. Doyle's research comes to the conclusion that Spring-heeled Jack is an omen warning of an upcoming tragedy, as sightings over the last century all occurred right before disease outbreaks and wars. Their investigation eventually discovers that the attacks were in fact caused by an [[ImmoralJournalist unscrupulous journalist reporting on the story]], having hired a Russian acrobat to [[ScoobyDooHoax impersonate the monster using circus tricks to mimic]] its seemingly supernatural abilities, [[IfItBleedsItLeads to give him a story to grip the London public]] (and the second death being an accident). However, after being caught, he reveals he only started the con after the first death having never even heard the legend before then, with ending showing something moving across the rooftop of a building, implying [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane the existence of the real Spring-heeled Jack]].
