>"Smart characters" written in only to discuss the philosophical theme/dilemma of the story
Not only is it a lazy way to make sure even the dimmest viewer can tag along, it also implies the writers think their idea so high brow they imagine smart people would honestly discuss something so banal.

If your plot boils down to something like
>If the MC's moral integrity makes them too honest other people will get hurt! So lying is ironically the good thing to do! Subversive!
It's not that clever, and having a group of bespectacled, mouthy twats over-inflating it with big words doesn't make it any smarter.

Just get on with the farce and let the audience tell you how intelligent the tripe really was.

Tropes and clichés=/=BAD

I'd rather have a well done cliché than a bad "new thing"... that is actually just a cliché with a new coat of paint.

>I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me!

I like that one. Feels like something Arnold would do in a parody of action movies.

kek it's actually a bond line

>character recites bible verses when killing someone

What movie? I've seen almost all the Bond movies and I don't recall that one. Was it Roger Moore. It sounds like a RM like.

Kys lunglet

Imagine doing it while being underwater and moving around. I would pass out after 10 seconds.

I tried to erase that movie from my memory. It seemed that I succeded.

Shut up, Christina Aguillera! Not everyone has mutant lungs like you do.

Movie about murderous socipath

Literally every criminal on Hannibal

>bad guy attacks him from behind and good guy kills him for good

I think Luke and many other Jedi get this hand wave pass that past actions they committed before becoming a fully fledged Jedi Knight are ignored or absolved.
Technically he blew up the Death Star when he was still just a force sensitive fighter pilot, by RotJ he stops actively attacking people and starts mainly fighting and killing in self defense. Except for maybe the Speeder Bike segment, he was pretty aggressive there though I guess preemptive self-defense isn't really that wrong knowing what the Troopers will do once they get reinforcements.

>Goon holds the MC at gunpoint
>MC pull some moves and defeat him anyway
>The bad guy could have shot the MC numerous time, even with the reaction time of a toddler

I fucking hate that

the main character is justin trudeau?

>character playing chess
>he's also a military genius

Pawn Sacrifice

>french character is introduced
>has a quebecer accent

>"if you kill him, you'll be just like him"

Never happened even once in the history of cinema.

>Smart character shoots villain
>"Checkmate"

Not a bad cliché, it's just that it's rarely done well.

I think the better version of that is when a character's actions (killing the bad guy) might have bad consequences that are adressed in the movie itself, not just some philosophical bullshit out of thin air (someone wanting revenge for it, like in Kill Bill with Vernita Green and her daughter, other good character following in the main character's path and going dark, etc.)

>they both perform illegal moves to try to trick the other in to feeling less intelligent for not knowing all the rules of the game

Name a few shoes where this happens. I'm bored.

Reality-breaking realization when that happened to me.

It can work. It's all about the delivery and the timing of it and how natural it feels in the scene.

>plugs in USB
Holy shit...

I haven't experienced this feel, perhaps some day. What movie?

I consider myself pretty smart and I've never figured out how to play chess.

Why would dumb people be playing chess?
