| May 24, 2016 at 19:48 | comment | added | Valorum | You may wish to note that in the prequel comic (which the studio made into a rather snazzy motion comic) at timecode 09:05, it's explicitly shown that Cobb's totem is definitely Mal's spinning top. As an extra bit of fun, you can see that he feels the weight of it, then spins it only after he's determined that he's back in reality. | |

| Dec 3, 2012 at 3:03 | comment | added | Admiral Crunch | I just saw related questions where people pointed out that Cobb said no one should ever touch your totem and know its characteristics – but certainly Mal touched his wedding ring. I think the point is that no one knows that your totem is your totem and then has the opportunity to visually or physically handle it. | |

| Nov 20, 2012 at 22:40 | comment | added | Aifos | I actually did watch it again after reading about this. Imagine my dissapointment when I reached the end and he kept his hand of frame through the whole "awake" part... | |
