ITT: Tropes you hate

The main character of CGI movie is a whiny wimp underdog with an stoic father that does not understand him until the end. The strong female character its her love interest and the fat best friend is the comic relief.

>the monster/supernatural phenomenon is meant to teach you a lesson
Like seriously, fuck this trope. It was funny at first in shows like Regular Show and Gravity Falls, but now we have entire cartoons completely dedicated to this who play it completely straight and it's grating and tired. I don't want to be lectured on how to think and feel by a bunch of art graduates who never grew up from their Tumblr phase.

That trope predates regular show and gravity falls. Even the power rangers had it.

>Obligatory love interest

>main character has multiple love interests
>goes with the most boring one

I hate the old "You saved my life so I'm indebted to you" trope. I think it's died out recently though.

Even worse if they show the villain would stop his evil plans if he had friends or a love interest but they dont act on this at all.

>MC’s sibling is revealed
>reincarnation of Jesus
>perfect in every way
I want the sibling to be the loser for once

>Show begins dropping lore and world building stuff that is clearly the most interesting thing it has going for it
>Romance subplot slowly becomes the plot the writers care about the most

What show or movie had this? Are you talking of Regular show? Also metalocalypse had a loser brother for Pickles.

Eh, depending on the way you interpret that trope, it's been around for a very long time. Humans really like reifying their anxieties, fears, and desires into various creatures, many of which are monsters that one must overcome via learning some lesson. I mean, the whole of Greek mythology is basically about the Gods being personifications of the various duties, traditions, and the most shitty aspects of human beings all wrapped up in one violent, rapey package. Every fucking story is about how humans should or shouldn't do this or that. If you hate this trope, you've basically cut yourself off of from most fiction entirely.
On a deeper level, I hate heroes who are purely reactionary. Like, if society has some problems that are creating so many goddamn villains, maybe you should wonder for at least a millisecond that something about society needs to change. Reminds me of that one manga where the "hero" was bitching about another group of people trying to end slavery, how they were making a scene. Mind you, this dude had a slave as well.

Hermione typed as the dumb annoying wokescold for trying to end literal elf slavery in the setting where the bad guy is very transparently Magic Hitler will never not be funny to me. It was so tonedeaf.

If it's the older sibling it's completely fine because a younger brother can never surpass their older brother.

The only exceptions are just that, not the rule.

>Kai and Sam

>sympathetic villain with tragic backstory who's really a good person on the inside

Not one Elf asked her to end slavery. In fact she was trying to free them against their will. And she offered them nothing except the opportunity to be paid money to work at Hogwarts. What are they going to do with money? Endlessly buy socks like Dobby - or other clothes they don't need?

>introduce villain with interesting appearance & powers
>kill them off as fodder so the heroes can have standard punch-out with the main villain

You just know Zurg in the Lightyear movie is gonna turn out to be a sympathetic softie that the toyline just demonized.

JUST WIN THE RACE, JUST WIN THE RACE, JUST WIN JUST WIN JUST WIN THE RACE

Yeah she was wrong

NGL protagonists being good people. Even when they have flaws they're more 'quirks' that you can just go "n'aww that silly billy" to. I want protagonists that are assholes too, like black-and-grey morality style

>nothing except the opportunity to be paid money to work at Place. What are they going to do with money? buy clothes?
this is literally how everyone lives

Harry Potter was bad about a lot of things. "Hey guys, our heroes were around during the holocaust but didn't do anything about it"
>Not one Elf asked her to end slavery.
Dude, we all know that's just Rowling covering her ass retroactively. In no world is paid servitude worse than racial, chattel slavery. Also, Dobby was clearly happy about being freed, I imagine there are other Elves that would at least like the choice of whether or not to be slaves.

>I want protagonists that are assholes too, like black-and-grey morality style
Not too asshole-ish to the point of being completely unlikable, but I agree.

>Main characters constantly experience weird/supernatural shit
>refuses to believe one of them when they say something weird/supernatural is happening

>they actually have a magical/biological need to serve
>they hate being free, being given a sock is a disgrace, dobby is just weird
>you're going to have to work for someone else still so you might aswell be a slave regardless
this is just white man's burden with extra steps

>he doesn't like mindbroken villains
Shit taste. Anyways,
>schmuck townies btfo'ing every single army
Its one thing for both sides to fight, but its another thing for trained soldiers to job that badly

>Character's "deformity" adds virtually no setbacks to their life or actually makes them cute to everyone besides one dimensional bullies we are supposed to hate.
Characters having a condition that actually looks like it would be hell to deal with draws more sympathy when we get to know them as characters and start to see past their deformities for the actual people they are. What's described in my greentext is nothing more than mary sue "MUH PRECIOUS CINNAMIN ROLL" pandering.

The protagonist is so great and powerful and their only fault is not accepting that they are greaterer and most powerfullest.

I think I get what you're talking about, but could you give examples to this trope? The only thing from the top of my head that sort of fits with this is Toph from Avatar, but I thought they handled the disability thing extremely well with her.

iirc, super popular horse show actually addressed this problem.

The deaf general lady from Dragon Prince spring to mind

Surprisingly, japanese series like Naruto and Bleach do tackle the problem with that pic, quite heavily.

Yeah, but that leads to talk-no-jutsu fixing the problem by actually addressing the villain's motives, philosophy and feelings.
You either get black and white negativism of a hero that perpetrators an aggressor or get hamfisted attempts to reason with the villains. Fans usually prefer the former.

Naruto did good with Pain, I fucking loved that Naruto had no clue how to answer him, but then it ruined it by revealing 3 puppet masters all pulling each other’s strings that ruined Pain AND Naruto’s lives.

With Ratigan it comes together nicely because right from the start it's made clear he doesn't want to be called a rat (I'm guessing they're not well seen compared to mice in universe?) so when he finally gets outwitted by Basil he just snaps and shows his true colors as a vile rodent

what show?

Begins with an A and ends with a time.

referring to multiple series east and west btw

>The Protagonist is unquestionably the strongest person in the setting
>”Let’s give him MORE powers!”

>>Antagonist/Main Villain is suave, gentlemanly in the beginning.
>>Turns into a berserk brute in the final battle.
don't get why you hate it when the point is that evil is ugly

Avatar's greatest failing desu, not to bring up the elephant in the room.

>The various romance plots are either completely unnecessary to the story or look like the writers have never experienced a member of the opposite sex being warm and friendly around them.
This. It always feels like writers are trying to shove in a romance plot into anything, regardless of the type of the work they are creating, just to check it off the list of mandatory story elements.

Ratigan is neither suave nor gentlemanly, he just paints a thin veneer of class over his filthy rattiness

This. It would be weirder if he didn't cast his pretensions aside at the end

Becky from Bagel and Becky comes to mind

>he doesn't like mindbroken villains

not OP but i prefer mindbroken good guys

>show’s season finale is an EPIC FINAL BATTLE

i just wrote the most epic alternative to this shit

this is such a retarded comic, having a traumatic upbringing doesnt excuse your actions or grant immunity to their consequences

Avatar sort of did that, except he was essentially powerless and humiliated.
