Post tropes you like
>The final boss of the movie is the protagonists former mentor
>The ending of the film is open to interpretation
Oh wait. No one fucking likes that shit.
>protagonist uses dark superpowers to defeat antagonist AND is allowed to keep it awfterwads
oh well
>A group of people with different skills on a team
>Good guy and bad guy team up to defeat new bad guy
>the bad guy wins
i do. it depends how well written it is.
>villain has the exact same powers as the hero
>they fight at the climax
why is this so kino
The new Tom Cruise Mummy does exactly this and it's fucking trash.
>>The final boss of the movie is the protagonists former mentor
I dk why I love this so much.
>antagonist and protagonist were pupils under the same master
>villain was actually right
>girl gets hit/killed
literally the worst fucking trope
Literally used so many times and then the comic books just string enough generic tropes into a full movie with muh graphics!
Fucking hate super hero movies and this thread might as well be named super hero movies
>protag is getting introduced to team
>person introducing them goes through their names and they all look at the protag with tough faces except for the eventual love interest
I think that for this to work, one of the interpretations has to be subtle. If they beat me over the head with DUDE WHAT HAPPENED? IDK HAHA FIGURE IT OUT I'll be a bit annoyed
Best part of that Assault on Precinct 13 remake.
>woman set up to be generic love interest/secondary protagonist
>does something heroic
>gets caught and unceremoniously shot in the head
hmm will try just for that, i tought it gonna be another rehashed indiana jones copy
>super tough guy (usually antagonist) was raped as a boy
not super common but common enough for me to notice it
>conflict between protagonist and antagonist doesn't have a clear cut good guy and bad guy
>Seed and Feed Shop
>Gets taken over by new management
>side character lies to protagonist
>camera shoes fingers crossed behind back
I like this one too
>protagonist fights villain
>loses
>protagonist comes back stronger and fights villain once more
>loses again
>main character dies mid film
>unhappy endings
Guess i can only relate to broken things
>Bunch of characters with special powers
>One of them has some super lame power
>They need exactly that power to save the day towards the end of the story
Or alternatively
>They 'upgrade' their power and suddenly it's OP
>love interest her black bf to the protag
>the film ends abruptly with the protagonist killing himself/ being killed
>Paranoid main character is proven right at the end
this so much
>>main character dies mid film
Name some kinos where this happens
the place beyond the pines
psycho
>character has the power to nullify other powers
>people who have relied on powers their whole life get a rough wake up call
Executive Decision, if You consider Seagal one of main.
STEVEN SEAGAL IS... EXECUTIVE DECISION
Doesn't scan.
>the student council president is the final boss
>protagonist gets killed
>it turns out he was not the protagonist at all
>the movie still somehow works and tells a story
Chrono Trigger
>Detective in my office now!
>You know who just called me? The mayor! You destroyed a whole city block, you're out of control! I told you to play this case by the book!
>MC narrates his childhood story
Works very well on stand by me and that brad pitt fishing film
>characters execute a plan while it is explained in voice over
>films with 'villains' and final fight scenes
you guys need to grow up
>protagonist and his group of rebels deal a great blow to the empire
>the empire still wins in the end
No Country For Old Men
>the black guy gets the girl
Saw if you look at the entire series
Optimas Prime in Revenge of the Fallen
The New Testament
What's wrong with that, it saves time
Robocop
>Piccolo save gohan and lost his arm but it's okey because he can regrow it
Name one besides Trigun
In an extremely lazy way
Movies where the heroes fail
Not just bittersweet but complete and utter downer
Which there's way too few of

The guy in the hairpiece was Bruce Willis all along.

boss man from justified
Beserk
this one

Damn, you're in the worst market for nearly every story. Maybe some literature but not television/film.
What do you get out of it by the way? It's just such a horridly strange trope to like.
...
>protagonist meets their mentor's mentor
...
Bland secondary character was the main villain all along
