This is super random and not related to anything but; why do the heroes in movies stay on the phone while the villain threatens them??
It seems really obvious that the moment the villain goes into threatening mode, you should just like… hang up… Now ya don’t know what the villain was trying to get you to do, so any threat is inconsequential. The villain has to find a new way to get the information to you. You got more time to figure out how to defeat them. Win-win.

“Kssch-chk can’t -kschk - tunnel - kschkschshsch” *click*
*screaming at the phone* “THIS IS A LANDLINE.”
“Ahem. As I was gloating, hero–”
“Hi you’ve reached Perry’s Pizza Parlor, all pizzas free with purchase of anchovy gravy, how may I help you?”
“I PRESSED REDIAL WILL YOU PLEASE JUST TALK TO ME”
“Hero, I have-”
“I’m sorry, but the number you have reached has a terminal case of don’t-care-ititis. Please leave your message after the click.” *click*
“YOU ARE SUCH A CHILD.”
