Hey Pandas, What Movie Trope Do You Absolutely Hate? (Closed)

Girl named Tiffany moves to D---- Horse Ranch, meets Sexy Stable Boy, tames wild horse, falls in love

Any movie where to escape/save everyone/do anything, the main character needs a love interest. Or when someone is like "Oh we are best friends!" The male friend hits puberty and the female character develops a crush on him. And crappy coming of age movies, where the characters do dumb stuff. Or any movie where just to move the plot along they are complete idiots.

Anyway women are portrayed. Blatant sex appeal

Characters made for "Modern Audiences"
Their only defining character trait is their gender, sexuality and/or ethnicity, and the movie is made to show how great they are for having said traits on the expense of anything that makes a movie entertaining.

There are also sub-tropes within that:

- The Mary Sue, which is perfect right from the start, knows no obsticales, struggles or weaknesses and is the ultimate being (Rey from Star Wars)

- The diversity switchout, a character that became female or changed skin colour in replacement for an original character (Ghostbusters 2016; The next Snow White movie by Disney; Terminator Dark Fate)

- The "Empowered Woman", an unhinged psychopath that acts and looks as manly as possible to be seen as strong and independent (Teela from "Masters of the Universe Revelation; Captain Marvel)

- The new and improved youngster that teaches an older hero new values and showing him/her all the mistakes of the past and why they should be ashamed.

Journalists, Critics and people from the Industry often claim their movies fail because of racism or misogyny - In reality they simply fail to be interesting and entertaining.

Is it really that hard to come up with new characters, relatable and likeable protagonists and original content nowadays?

Revenge as a justification for obscene level of violence. How many Hollywood films revolve around this trope? And then people are shocked when someone shoots up their workplace over some trivial gripe

The world is about to be destroyed by whatever and the only two people who can save us all are a divorced couple who hate each other, but realize they still love one another after a good portion of the planet is destroyed, and they ultimately save the day.

For no reason, mention some obscure ruling in a particular sport the film happens to feature. The guess what? It is the final around of the sport and this obscure rule happens to come up, giving the hero the chance to win the all important game! Go Team!

Any hallmark movie. Give me the first letter of any Hallmark movie and I can tell you the plot. My sister loves these. For those who have never heard of hallmark movies, here’s the basic plot of every. Single. One. Handsome guy meets girl, girl and guy mildly despise each other. Eventually they come to love each other. Then some misunderstanding makes the girl hate the guy. Then the misunderstanding is resolved and the couple live happily ever after.

That if a guy likes a girl he has no life away from her. His only interest is her.

Any that have the fat/sotty/ginger/female character only there for the main characters to laugh at and poke fun until right at the end they'll get a bit of begrudging respect for coming good when needed. LIke Ron Weasley is one of the laziest character's ever written.... oooh let's all laugh at the bumbling, ginger peasant for a while until Harry shows us the light. Or the female prositute characters in some movies/books that are only there so they can be redeemed in some way

The trope where the average to subpar guy/dude with the personality of a rotten turnip always hooks up with the beautiful, brainy, actually good person woman. (Vince Vaughn, movies as an example)

The clueless dad character frustrates me. Completely inept at everything in life, but somehow saves the day through the power of luck and pluck. Also somehow managed to find a way hotter and smarter wife.

Where every movie has to have a gratuitous romance even when it adds nothing to the plot.

How people run or jump out of a building to get away from a huge explosion.... and AREN'T burnt to a human crisp and die. You can't just JUMP!!!

I hate the best friends to lovers trope. Sometimes it can be cute, but seriously. Two people (especially guys and girls) can be friends without wanting to sleep with each other!

Historic fiction films where there isn’t enough story so characters spend too much time riding places (we must go to York!, wait, Aylesbury, hold on, back to York) and fighting meaningless fights ( kill them all! No, them! Let’s change allegiance for the 5th time). Boring!

I'm sick of movies that jump around in time. I guess they're thinking it makes them look smart and artistic if viewers have to try and assemble the timeline like some sort of jigsaw puzzle?

The female characters in anime shows where their only purpose is to cheer on the protagonist or provide healing (to justify them hanging around). Worse is when they are a well renowned fighter, and /or have a powerful skill that is never used so the new hero on the block with no clue can swoop in and save her with the power of determination! Writers really need to develop their female characters. There are some great female characters, but alot are annoying, and boring.
Oh, and I'm not sure if this counts but boobs that go 'boing boing'... It's just weird.

- Sex
Characters always want to bang each other, always portrayed as convenience (babies? nevermind! murderer? even better! matching underwear? always!)

- Misunderstanding/lack of communication
And the whole plot is based on this.

The fact that superheroes with superpowers have to look like they spend hours at the gym. They have superpowers; they don't have to be in shape (Okay, "Hancock" was a drunk, couldn't land worth a dam but STILL was in great, physical condition!). How about a five foot two, 300 pound "Wonder Woman" or "Superman" versus the "ripped" versions of the same!
