History YMMV / DanceOfDeath

* AssPull: Anyone who has read Literature/TheIceLimit probably felt their jaws hit the floor when Eli Glinn showed up, only wheelchair-bound for his troubles.
* MagnificentBastard: Diogones almost seems like a prototypical [[Film/TheDarkKnight Joker]] with how he plans his murder sprees [[spoiler: and manages to trick his brother into thinking revenge is his real goal]].

* CompleteMonster: Diogenes Pendergast [[Literature/BookOfTheDead again]].

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: When Pendergast insists D'Agosta abandon him to save his career, D'Agosta calls him by his given name for [[LastNameBasis the first time ever]] and insists he won't leave him.
-->'''Pendergast''': Vincent, I am ''demanding'' that you leave.
-->'''D'Agosta''': Hey, Aloysius? Up yours.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: At the height of the car chase when they have to bail out into the middle of the frozen pond, D'Agosta almost goes under the ice and ends up soaked in frigid water. When he looks over, Pendergast is standing calmly on the ice, completely dry. When D'Agosta asks how he managed not to go into the water, Pendergast merely remarks "Perhaps my timing was better."
