** Near the end of the movie, the fact that Miles is [[spoiler:a complete idiot]] is treated as a plot twist that catches most of the characters by surprise, and even Benoit Blanc seems to have been in denial about it despite having seen the clues. However, it's really not hard to guess after a whole movie's worth of foreshadowing (particularly the prominent plot point that [[spoiler:Andi wrote the original idea for Alpha, not Miles]]), and especially if one is aware of the criticisms that are often aimed at {{Techbro}}s in general as being the least technically skilled people in their companies.

* CaptainObviousReveal:CaptainObviousReveal: [[spoiler:The point of the titular Glass Onion metaphor is intended to be something that appears complex, but the truth at the heart of it is in plain sight, something Blanc himself acknowledges near the end of the movie. He didn't realize what he considers to have been obvious the whole time.]] However, Your Mileage May Vary on how and to what extent this applies to the audience.

** To be clear, both of the above are intended. This is the point of the titular Glass Onion metaphor. "Something that seems complex but whose core is in plain sight". The above two points are even lampshaded by Blanc as he kicks himself for taking so long to realize it.

Misuse. The scene establishes Blanc's weakness as a detective, how he struggles to understand simple mysteries. Additionally, the film takes place during the pandemic, when Among Us was at it's height in popularity

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Blanc in the bathtub playing ''VideoGame/AmongUs'' with a bunch of online friends. It leads into him talking about how depressing it's been for him not having any cases to solve, but until then it just feels incredibly out of place and like the writers were just trying to reference something popular[[labelnote:*]]And even then, ''Among Us'' had [[ProductionLeadTime largely fallen out of public view by the time the movie came out in 2022]][[/labelnote]], with plenty of better ways they could have led up to it.

** Miles makes a big spiel about how the Mona Lisa is the greatest artwork in history and says it inspired him to become who he is. As any art historian knows, the Mona Lisa was a commission work that took years because da Vinci was a serial procrastinator. It was considered "good but not great" until it was stolen and the case became a medium circus, leading it to the artwork becoming internationally famous and hailed as the greatest artwork in history once it was returned. Just like Miles, it's an unremarkable piece that became famous due to media attention.
