A version of what you're describing is the sunk cost fallacy


My familiarity with the fallacy enabled me to quit watching John Wick in the last 10 minutes. 10 minutes saved is not nothing.


I wish I had been able to do that. But at least I get to see announcements for John Wick 4 and get a warm fuzzy feeling that I have escaped watching 3 whole movies, and thus have an extra 6 hours in which to do something better in my life with an exceptionally low bar for "better".


You didn’t quit when the dog got killed?


Come to think of it, I think it was John Wick 2.
