ITT: post tropes you absolutely DESPISE
>protagonist has killed hundreds of villain's henchman
>finally gets to villain
>has perfect opportunity to kill him
>he suddenly hesitates for some reason
This has never been done well. It always feels forced, no matter what.
>characters quip while fighting
HATE HATE HATE THIS
name 5 movies where this happens
>protagonist shoots a man before throwing him out of a plane
Most James Bond movies
why does he wear the mask?
TELL ME ABOUT BANE!
TELL ME ABOUT BAIN
WHY DOES HE WEAR THE MASK
>marvel tv show
>first episode is promising and everything you'd expect from what you know of the character
>the following 90% of the show is just terse, melodramatic conversations between the various characters
>action is only used briefly, subversively and rarely in a satisfying way
>most of the cast can't act
>antagonist kills people for fun
>protagonist is captured by antagonist
>antagonist doesn't just kill the protagonist in order to fulfill his evil plans
>instead just explains his plans to him then binds his hands with rope and has 1 dude guard him
>Characters are aware of movie cliches and do everything they can to avoid them.
It always comes off as smug.

>LOSER CHARACTER
>DOESN'T HAVE GYNO
uh some realism in my movies would be appreesh
This is Goose in Lars and the real girl and Joaquin in Her
>Villain listens to classic music, dresses well, is an expert on vintage wines
>Villain is the strongest fighter
>Villain doesn't check whether someone is actually dead
>Villain's only flaw is that he is too arrogant

Like, come on. Stupidest stereotype
>character has a powerful and cathartic death scene
>oh never mind they survived for maximum happy ending
>Marvel tv show
>pilot and last episode are well paced
>the middle 11 episodes should be only 5 or 6 but have been stretched thin as fuck with pointless side characters and B and C plots
...
>i have to reverse engineer the code to find a vulnerability
>in english please
>"Theres a conspiracy in Homeland Security/The FBI/NYPD/Black Politicians Party/Science Lab and we need lots scenes of people walking around trying to work out if their office is bugged and who is the traitor."
>one of those B plots is about cuckoldry
I don't know if this can be called a trope but has anyone noticed how many scenes there are where everyone is having fun and you just know that something bad is about to happen?
im too retarded to green text it effectively but I hate when a character asks the protag about a situation and lets a small detail slip that they are in on it.. i.e: harry potter and the goblet of fire
Yes
I love this trope because I hate seeing people having fun
The best was when Euron interrupted Yara and Ellaria's lesbo session
>special one time only guest star is someone important to the main characters like a brother/sister/mother and is never mentioned again
>protagonist hesitates to kill villain because he is secretly in love with him
Lotta loyalty for a hired gun.
>audience loves the character
>he returns next season with a full time roll but just isn't as cool as you thought he'd be
Why did you respond to me? This is the opposite of what I said. The exact opposite. It has nothing to do with my post, you're a cunt.
Why didn't you respond to me? This is exactly what I said. Word for word. It has everything to do with my post, you're a great guy.
WHY IS IT ALWAYS LIKE THIS?
>Military movie
>"Sorry but I can't do that, sir."
>"That wasn't a request private it was an ORDER!"
I don't like how in literally every movie/show the "character that loses their family" has picture perfect beautiful and well behaved children who blissfully run around a well light grass field. The kids are well behaved and all around perfect.
I really liked The Leftovers because Norah's kids were fucking annoying and she wanted them gone, for a brief moment at least.
>The CW shows
>Uses tumblr fan fiction writing
>Stretch out bog standard villain for 10+ episodes
>Same set locations used all the time
>Teeny bopper drama masked with comic fanservice
This most kids in real life are huge cunts, specially the really young ones.
>kid has embarrassing problem
>his friends pull together to help and support him
>don't make fun of him and humiliate him
>don't refuse to let him hang out with them because he's a loser
>same warehouse gets used every episode in every show
>same coffee shop/restaurant every time just with different things on the tables
Is he a faggot?
This film is a 4 star masterpiece

>protagonist pisses off best friend/partner
>they go there separate ways
>character has some revelation
>comes in at the last minute to save the day
>We're not so different,you and i
>posts on Sup Forums
>nobody cares
>posts on Sup Forums
>Criminal gets caught
>It was all part of the plan
>cop convinces his reluctant partner to go on a risky bust
>partner gets killed
>cop watches the funeral from across the road wearing aviators because he feels guilty
>heist items have no weight
>bar of gold in your pocket
>throwing bars of gold with one hand
>3 million cash, but it fits in a backpack
>20 kilo of drugs, lift bag with three fingers out of trunk of car
and I get that we have power creep like issues in how much needs to be stolen to be a wow movie/tv show level crime. You can't have ever heist be digitally stealing millions on a thumb drive. I get it.. It still pisses me off that no real scale of weight or size is ever use when stealing shit.
literally wolfenstein 1 and 2. REEE
also, is this Drive
When you love someone that passes, you remember them at their best and find a way to sugar-coat the rest.
>Villain picks up a sword
>Puts his arm behind his back and assumes fencing pose
>"You thought I was a pussy who'd never been in a fight? lol no daddy paid for 18 years of fencing lessons."
>villain throws away his weapon, puts down jacket, cuffs sleeves
>"let's end it like men"
Yeah you wouldn't be able to even lift a thumb drive with that much money on it.
>Is on the ground defeated
>Pulls out dagger/pistol from his boot
>"If you kill him you'll be just like him!"
Absolutely revolting trope and I have never seen it done well, and it can be.
Watch HEAT.
>antagonist reveals entire plan instead of just killing the protagonist.
Name ONE Kingsman sequel that does this!
>male and female hero end up together romantically just because they're both attractive
Pacific Rim and Kingsman are the only two blockbusters in recent memory that avoided this crap
>character has super powerful prosethetic arm
>can lift and throw super heavy things even though their shoulder muscles are still normal
nerd
>understanding that muscles from the shoulder are used in arm movements makes you a nerd
>character has strong prosthetic
>can easily bend thick slabs of stuff made out of much stronger material than the prosthetic
bane?
>villain is a cold murderer
>slowly starts warming up to the protagonist and they eventually team up
>everyone forgets the countless murders the villain committed
>When you love someone that passes, you remember them at their best and find a way to sugar-coat the rest.
Wrong you condescending fuck
>villain is a global threat, will destroy entire world if not stopped
>hero beats villain destroying city in the process
>HURR YOU SAVED NOTHING LOOK AT THIS CITY
>two characters are trying to show mutual love and affection
>weird breathing and exaggerated kissing
>forced quipping
>insincere eye contact
I think I just hate actors
>civilwar.jpg
This is what people do, imo
>the villian is ugly, bald or crippled in some way
Really says a lot about what people *really* think
>protagonist is named chuck
>antagonist names Sneed buys him out of his own business
Killing billions...
>movie tries to show Sneed as a villain even when objectively he did nothing wrong
>plot twist: sneed is the antihero
SO WHATS THE NEXT STEP IN YOUR MASTER PLAN?"
I expected this to happen in Kong Skull Island but thank God it didn't happen, the movie still sucked tho.
It also didn't happen in Power Rangers, but it was supposed to and they cut it out before the movie was released.
>This is what people do, imo
Yeah, the people in shitty movies/shows do. It's a cultural meme generated by poorly written movie.
>"but x, I never told you about y..."
>x begins to sweat and act unnaturally
>scene gets tense, music gets dark
this. In real life it would NEVER EVER EVER EVER IN FUCKING THOUSAND YEARS WOULD HAPPEN, put they keep putting that shit in movies on and on
wew lad, it happens in real life, too
but maybe not all of the time
OBI WAN NEVER TOLD YOU ABOUT YOUR FATHER
Huh?
It's usually the villain taking his time before trying to kill the protagonist that's the worst. The protagonist taking his time at least makes sense.
I meant more like:
>"but x, how did you know about y? I never told you about that."
>x panics, makes excuses to cover tracks.
>scene does backflips to reveal to viewer that a double-agent is actively being uncovered
John Wick would have been over in half the time if he wasn't such a pussy in the nightclub. But it's good that he was because the scene that immediately follows is kino.
>a tv show
>episode starts with something ridiculous happening to the main hero(es)
>fades to black and "48 hours earlier" appears on screen
>Main cast is racially/ethnically and sexually diverse, and most if not all of them are from lower class backgrounds
>Villain is a white American man who's at least fairly wealthy, and at some point talks about his traditional American values
The former trope is fine and ideal when not forced, but when combined with the latter it just feels that much more contrived
>space battles in 2D plane
Never before seen this
>"You're probably wondering how I got into this situation. It all started when..."
name ONE kino
name 6.88888 movies where this happens.
>is knocked or choked unconscious
>wakes up hours later as if from a night's sleep
>racks weapon to show seriousness
>racks weapon again cause really serious
>weapon wasn't loaded either time
>perfect aim shooting at nameless bad guys 1-12
>can't hit main antagonist standing still ten feet away
lol what are you, Sup Forums? lol soyboy cuck nu-male
You have, it's called nearly every single space battle
>character wakes up from sleeping from all night
>instantly gets up and goes about their life as normal
>doesn't have to spend up to 10 minutes in the bathroom spitting down the drain because of dry mouth
Not just are they done in a 2d plane, they're done as if in gravity.
BSG did a decent job with 3d, zero-grav battles. Ender's Game novel as well - dunno about that shit-tier film. Any others avoiding this trope?
On a semi-related note I hate whenever we see relationships with dads and young children that are the same shit every time
>"Hey kid/buddy/slugger!"
>"DAAADDDYYYYYY"
>Father proceeds to put on this huge silly dad show so we know how much of a Fun Guy™ he is
>Almost always ends with "Who wants [insert junk food here]?" and the kids losing their shit
I may not be able to describe this phenomenon well but it happens fucking everywhere, like Dexter and Ant Man for example. You know exactly what I mean.
>couple wakes up
>talking to each other at close quarters
>kissing
BRUSH YOUR GODDAMNED TEETH
tbf Gokus character is all about forgiving and reforming. No one else can stop Vegeta so he gets a free pass.
That's white Americans for you, horribly cheesy people, no wonder they're all growing into soyboys and school shooters
