*\\\"Forgotten Phlebotinum: Remember that incredibly powerful ring with tons of stored-up energy you\\\'ve got, Eragon? No, you don\\\'t.\\\"
**It was was only actually _forgotten_ once (in the battle). Otherwise, it\\\'s TooAwesomeToUse.

Better way of putting it:
*Forgotten Phlebotinum: Eragon forgets about [[spoiler:Brom\\\'s ring]] during the battle
*TooAwesomeToUse: [[spoiler:Brom\\\'s ring]]

*Also, Kick The Dog: Setting aside the morally dissonant atrocities our heroes are mentioned to have done, we have the elves attacking an allied village without warning or mercy. To ensure that Galbatorix is a true villain, he also has his henchmen destroy several villages on their own.
**No, they didn\\\'t. That is pure hatedom fantasy. They besieged one human city, which was loyal to \\\'\\\'Galbatorix\\\'\\\', and was no different to the Varden\\\'s actions in the south. So unless the Varden also doing so was KickingTheDog, delete.

*NotSoDifferent:
**\\\'\\\'Angela\\\'\\\' poisons the Empire\\\'s officers, and the others react almost negatively.

*Punctuation Shaker: Ra\\\'zac and Zar\\\'roc, amongst others.
**Both are in the Ancient Language, there the \\\' is a letter (similar to some non-English languages), indicating a brief delay. It\\\'s not gratuitous.

*The Revolution Will Not Be Vilified: The Varden (rebellion) is good, while The Empire is evil.
**Delete this, unless it actually happens in the series (it doesn\\\'t). If you just want to make snarky comments, isn\\\'t that what reviews etc. are for?

*Stronger Sibling: Murtagh is more than capable of kicking Eragon\\\'s behind, with the help of a few Eldunari.
**Delete. Without the Eldunari, Eragon would be more than capable of killing Murtagh even when as exhausted as he was. If you really want to keep the example, it\\\'s the wrong page (is there anything like Purely Equipment Based Skill ?)

*Unfortunate Implications
**is a VMMV.

*Veganopia: Elven society. Justified somewhat in that it\\\'s difficult to eat something when you can hear its thoughts and empathize with it.
**vegetarians actually. They use everything from leather to feathers, although they still don\\\'t kill animals to do so.

*Whole Plot Reference: The first two books are basically Star Wars: A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. Not \\\'inspired by\\\', not \\\'borrows heavily from\\\'; the plot is almost the exact same.
**Do I \\\'\\\'really\\\'\\\' need to explain all the differences and YMMVness?
