Tropes in movies/TV that you hate

[Brett Angell Delight]

I just saw instance of my least favourite in See (Apple TV show):

Two guys with deadly weapons about to have a showdown, throw down the weapons and have a needlessly lengthy fistfight.

Anyone got any of their own?

Wise cracking ‘zany’ side kick. In fact all one liners full stop. Only arnie could pull them off.

Worse still, when one fighter is down and reaches with their hand and somehow finds something to continue/end the fight.

Respectfully disagree..

Aliens always losing against Earth. Some disgraced scientist/military officer/ plucky teenagers from Montana defeating aliens without a scratch.

People run from monsters/killers, scream and shout loudly as they do so, alerting everything to their position. Every. Single. Time.

That’s up there with the old classic “falling over in the woods while being chased by a slow-walking baddie”

Police with sirens blazing surprised that the suspect is no longer in the house.

I can’t remember a film where someone is running through the woods and doesn’t fall over. Don’t forget instead of getting back up immediately they turn to see where the bad guy is for 5 minutes before standing.

People watch make believe movies.


People complain about make believe being a bit phoney.



What a world we live in.

Good looking actors and actresses is a trope that continually infuriates me

The good guys always win.
Let's have a blockbuster of a film where the baddie wins. Like Tom cruise gets killed and then the film ends. No soppy funerals, no coming back. The baddie just wins.

First Bad Boys film. This is the airplane hangar scene. Watch from about 2 min 8 of this vid for about 10-15 seconds.

Two men pointing thier guns at eachother, one decides to say a catchy line, the other pulls a face and growls. Both could have just fired thier bloody guns especially the baddie. Does my head in.

When there is a spooky noise or sounds of an intruder in a basement and people head down into the dark on their own. Just close the basement door and call for help, so many deaths could be avoided by following this simple advice!

Breaking the 4th wall.
We're not mates, get on with the film
