Movie cliches/subplots you hate

[mag357]

Mom makes a full scale homecooked breakfast

Teenage son/daughter walks in kitchen, ignores the food, grabs a banana, and bounces

I swear this is how I thought all white people lived when I was a kid.

Like damn these muthafukkaz got a gourmet breakfast and don't even give a fukk

Groups of Henchmen and goons falling into a coma from one punch

Tired of natural disaster/end of the world movies where the survivors are fighting and bickering over Bullshyt. Even dumb people are smart enough to know they can't survive such events on their own and will put the BS aside to survive. We all witnessed that the 5-6 days following 9/11.

In almost all those disaster films during the montage of cities getting obliterated by tidal wave/meteor strike/earthquake etc,New York is always the first one shown(starting with the Statue Of Liberty getting destroyed first)

The bad guy can never just fall to his death without holding on to another muthafukka first.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Master of ____________ is training the main character. Main character just can't get a move/idea/shot/maneuver down no matter what. Main still completes training/missions/adversary with ease until he gets to the final boss. Final boss starts winning and riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight when things are about over for our hero, he gets a flashback to what his teacher was trying to tell him...

He pulls off the move we all forgot about, with perfection and wins. Someone asks him how the hell he managed to pull that off.. He says "I had a great teacher"


I've seen this in every sports movie (think Rocky, Any given sunday), action movie (karate kid), racing movie (GT, FF every damn movie), sci fi.... When it's time to do the impossible, they are definitely going to pull out the ONE thing that the character could never do

 

[cartierhoe]

Probably been mentioned already but when the villain/bad guy of the movie or show gives a whole ass monologue until the main character/hero's friend or ally comes through just in time to save him

 

[Adonis]

Boxers being stereotyped as the angry, hothead, brute that can't control themselves.

 

[WesCrook]

Cop shows:

They arrest a guy around the middle of the episode, then the perp tells them he's a cop (usually a Fed)....*commercial break*

Then at the station, the agent is like "we've been on this guy/crew for the past 18 months"....for something much bigger than the local case.

The station precinct Captain is bumping heads with the Fed boss "This our case....you're not taking credit for this"

By the end of the episode, they take the boss down and agree to share the credit.

... when there's a disagreement and the one person about to walk out the door . . the other one says "WAIT" at the last-minute so they can do the whole 2-minute confessional monolouge that is supposed to bring them together as a team . . .. . .

 

[summwunn]

. . . female special agents in the Federal govt talkin tough and driving old school muscle cars while takin straight shots of whiskey and tryin extra to be "one of the guys" and end up takin backshots from their supervisor who then resigns unexpectedly and she takes over the field office. . . . . .

• When a character finally knocks the killer out and instead of finishing the job. They’ll either drop their weapons, run away, try to unmask the killer, or a combination of all these options.

• Obviously good looking girl is now considered hot. Only after taking off her glasses.
• As I get older the annoying man child trope. Can jump right out the window, I can’t even watch The Hangover anymore. Because of Zach Galifianakis’s character.

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

low life/scumbag tryna get back into his wives (and kids) life by saying he's gonna change his ways

Just when I thought this thread has exhausted all the cliches, here's one I've never ever heard mentioned before but its really IS an overused cliche.
