Most Annoying Tropes

[Mr Spock!]

I wanted the 2 kids in Jurassic World to get eaten so badly

I was rooting for the trex/spinosaurus/raptors to eat Jeff Golblums daughter in JP2.

 

[T-Boon]

characters who are in movies just so the main characters can explain to them (us) what is going on with things. Such as that new wife in Twister.

 

[Timbo]

If my mum or partner made me an insane sized breakfast and i said inwas running late and grabbed a single piece of toast and ran to the door i would get my ass kicked

Follow up - families of six all sitting down together for a huge cooked breakfast at home before they all go to school/work.

- scenes where someone/a group of people sit down and order full meals, sit there talking for 5 minutes without eating, and then get up and pay for food they never even looked at much less ate

- action films where our hero has saved the day, cue the shot of the 'war room' with everyone cheering and high fiving

- the bad guy has caught the hero, looks like the bad guy is going to get away with it, all he needs to do is kill the hero. No, f**k that, lets tie him up and torture him, so that gives the hero a chance to escape and win the day

Same thing with alcohol, movie characters never drink their whole beer in bars.

No one ever locks their cars in movies.

The ugly duckling is just a hot chick wearing glasses

The ugly duckling is just a hot chick wearing glasses

This happens a lot in adaptations too, where everyone has to be attractive. Like Aunt May now being Marisa Tomei, or the Penguin looking like Colin Farrell, or Shelob, the giant spider from Lord of the Rings, portrayed in a recent adaptation as a hot woman.

I can't say that I mind Aunt May looking like Marisa Tomei ... also comic book characters can change how they look depending on artists/eras etc so none of that bothers me.

But agree with Rhino's actual point how the ugly duckling is still clearly hot just wearing glasses.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Small one but walk into any bar in aus and ask for "a beer" and dont say anything else and see how you go

 

[gUt]

Bad guys always have a 'foreign' accent.
Hero can dodge a million bullets and knock merkins out with a single thunderous punch
Palace guards' useless attacks, usually one at a time

 

[bileduct]

When there's the psycho serial killer / homicidal alien / extinct dangerous animal brought back to life picking off the group one by one, and then someone has to walk 500m away from everyone to have a piss / smoke / send an SMS and they end up getting whacked...

I'm used to seeing it in Halloween and Friday the 13th movies, but then it happened in Prometheus, or maybe it was Alien: Covenant? Who the f**k knows they were both massive turds.

 

[roofromoz]

Successful redemption in the second half of rom coms.

Ill nominate the kid in the tom cruise war of the worlds as the most punchable kid character im film

 

[mongoose]

kids always drawing their creepy, paranormal visions on paper during their free time.

Zombies die when you shoot them.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

The action hero - usually a dedicated cop - never sleeps.

Like, ever.

Then usually has a hangover / headache and opens a vial of Panadol and pours dozens in to his hand, throws them down...munching/swallowing them, usually with a swig of booze.

And cops usually have some quirky shit...like a car tape deck that eats tapes, that is established, but then the buddy inadvertently destroys the key piece of evidence in said device as the main cop berates them about said piece of shit technology that's just destroyed the evidence and back to square one.
