The Inciting Incident

I've watched a lot of people watch Rocky. And as many times as I've watched it, everyone always thinks that Gaza was going to come back. They always think that plot point is setting something up later that's going to happen. But the fact that Gaza is just like a cool guy that's his friend is not expected for people. It makes you realize in a lesser movie that would have totally been the plot. As Gaza wants his money back or he wants to revenge a Rocky for quitting. The book has this long like mafia plot and stuff like that.
