Unintentional Backup Plan: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Harry Potter]]'' has a rare example for the villain, though it's slightly subverted. Voldemort is unaware that {{spoiler|Harry is his final Horcrux.}} As a result, he gave himself a way to win even after the other sources of his power were destroyed. Subverted because Harry still kicks his ass.

** It happens all the time in the series. Harry even [[Lampshades]] this.

* In ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', Gandalf and Aragorn's [[Batman Gambit]] pays off in getting the One Ring to Mount Doom, but the One Ring itself [[Spanner in the Works|spans]] their plans by finally corrupting Frodo at the last crucial moment. Fortunately, Gollum shows up to take the ring for himself before accidentally falling into the volcano and destroying it.
