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

The main girl and the main guy always ending up in a relationship.

Any movie where the villain is killed at the end so the good people just walk away or kiss without making sure they’re really dead. Then the villain starts to get up and shoot them…only to be shot dead by the unlikeliest person in the background. Dudes, make sure your villains are dead before celebrating.

The "white savior" trope, should've been retired ages ago instead of winning Oscars, along with the "magical minority".

Movies with middle schools being portrayed with the “cools kids” and “bully” and the main character always being bullied. I understand that bullying is an issue, but it makes the movies all seem the same.

That explosions and greenscreens are a replacement for storylines and good acting. *cough* Michael Bay *cough* *cough*

That all woman look similar. There is a much greater diversity in looks in male oscar winners.

Movies based on books that are so drastically changed the main characters become unrecognizable.

Why characters in relationships feel like they have to tell their partner any time someone kisses them, even if they didn't invite it and it meant nothing. It ALWAYS causes the relationship to break up. And when one partner wants to give an ultimatum or break up, they tell the other one at some inconvenient time that "I have something very important to talk to you about tomorrow". Thanks for giving me a night of insomnia. Finally, does everyone who has sex for the first time with a new partner destroy half the room flinging each other into walls full of shelves and across tables, completely overcome with passion?

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!

Oh no! There’s a savage storm coming and the hotel only has one room left. Guess we’ll have to share the room. The inevitable argument about who gets the bed, but we can share that, too. Waking up the next morning in bed together. Uh, oh! Did we have sex? (Come on, both people know if they had sex or not)

When there's something like assigning powers and everyone gets a common one but the main character is "different" os "chosen" or "special" and their power hasn't been around for years, or is different from everyone in their family, or it doesn't exist.

I would love to see one where the main character is normal and someone else is the unique one instead.

Ordinary looking men paired with super hot, usually way younger, women.

Guys only prefer blondes.

That all girls dream about a wedding day/dress. Seriously never thought about it as a kid and I do not understand women who care that much about something so silly and wasteful.

No one ever says “goodbye” or its equivalent when ending a phone call. They just hang up. Who does that IRL?

I don't specifically "hate" anything. I have to say though, that Joseph Campbell-esque "hero's quest" bit needs to be laid to rest. It's old, worn out and been a zombie for far too long. And everyone seems to love it. 🤦‍♀️

The simple act of leveling a gun at someone causes the sound of the slide being racked.

Violence solves problems.

1: the heroes best friend is black or brown, so none of what they do is racist.
2: that no one stutters or forgets what they are trying to say

Happy endings. Too many movies finish with every problem resolved. Real life is not like that.
