Worst Clichés

Yeah, I agree.

Everyone has pointed out some good ones already except for the one where the man meets the woman, they hate each other, are both horrible to the other yet in the midst of a fight, they pretty much tear each other's clothes off and then it's pure love and everything is dandy despite him being a sexist jerk and her a projecting failure.

@batmanfan11: badass decay with no explanation

also, strawmen are very annoying (especially when their never right about anything, it just gets me mad at the writers)

In any fight between two men, the one with the least practical weapon will win.

A performer can spot a loved one in a crowd of 20,000 people instantly

A soldier carrying a personal memento of a loved one, such as a jewelry or photo, has no chance of returning alive.

Given an easy opportunity to kill the hero, any villain will decline, and justify this by suggesting that they ‘might be useful' at some point. They never are.

People marooned on desert islands soon learn to make almost anything from bamboo.

Native Americans always say very little and when they do speak it's to give sage-like comments.

All funerals are attended by the person responsible for the death, who arrives in a limo.

Girls given firearms to defend themselves either ‘grew up on a farm' or learn incredibly quickly when given brief training on how to aim, fire and reload.

When a guy is in love with the girl, but the girl thinks the guy is creepy or not for her, and in the end they both fall in love with each other...ahem Disney ahem

I'm not sure if this counts, but the whole "Main character is a man having family issues, that are all magically solved by the end of the movie, thanks to his heroic acts, that often don't even involve his family" -thing. It's everywhere.

A super villain injects himself with animal DNA and turns into the animal in which he had inject him with

That is a HORRIBLE cliché. So overused.

The protagonist dying: Is not smart, is not clever or show you have balls, House dying, Batman dying, would had being terribly cliched endings, it has being done to the deth.

Killing = winning

JJ Abrams, the guy is a walking cliche.

A character was actully gay or at least bisexual, against all the evidence to the fact is was heterosexual and the writter run out of ideas.

Superman saves the day in a perfect way, Superman say it, a perfect world dont need a Superman.

The villains gives an speech that is not going to give an speech.

Hot people with zero skills gets casted for being hot.

Being famous = talent

My gods, there are so much of them...

Blacks dudes dies first.

Damsell in distress.

EVERYONE ARE GOOD LOOKING ! The ones who are not are either the bad guy or the comic relief, or worse, a victim...

America save the day or won WWII.

A girl who verbally or physically abuse her man is funny.

The obligatory romance IN EVERY MOVIE !!!

Death by sex. (If a character has sex too soon in a movie, he will die...)

@wolverine08: good ones.

Oh and powerful superheroes always seem to fight when they meet each other...

Lol, true. They are all like "We are both very powerful, we must punch each other!".

Starting controversial threads in the Off-Topic board.

Loser gets hot girl.

Love intress is some sort of danger

Not the right time to kill the character

Bad Guy stops everything he is doing to explain his evil plan/s

Mainly the cliche where the bad guy has the perfect chance to kill the protagonist and then chooses to monologue thereby having the protagonists companion to save him just before the bad guy says a cringey 'time to die' line.

The cliché in which the bad guy either tells the hero the plan, or blatantly leaves it laying around so he can find it *cough*Amazing Spider-Man*cough*

Also, the "you and I aren't that different" cliché, between the hero and the villain

People claiming that the black guy always dies first when there's actually a sizable majority of movies that don't have the black guy dying first.

None of them, as long as it progresses the story in a natural way I'm fine with it.

Romantic interest in general. Not everything needs a frackin love story forced in there. Plutonic relationships with men and women are fine.

Censoring nudity is one, not sure if it would be considered a cliche, but it seems to have become one. If you are gonna have nudity, have it. If not then don't. Come on its the 21st century and we are still shying away from showing the human form.

I really don't care weather they have nudity in films or not, but if they are going to have it in, then have it in. Don't shy away from it. I understand that some actors might be uncomfortable with it which is fine. It seems an irritating cliche though.

I mean we have moved on from censoring violence on screen (we still have a way to go with that though). Can't we do the same with nudity.

Or maybe the fact that censoring nudity has become a cliche means we have come a long way regarding nudity in the first place. ? Ugh I feel like I have just wasted time and contradicted myself....whatever.

Censoring nudity still feels cliche to me so, maybe I am right on both account....

Sean bean always dies no matter what.

The villain turns out to be the hero's father/brother/related to him in some way. Its an pet peeve of mine that I can't get over, its one of the signs you already out of ideas.

These things, the black guy dies first & the dumb white girl always surviving. Now I'm seeing a trend where the girl who survives is Latino instead but it really doesn't make any difference in the end; same cliché only a little bit more possible.

"Oh I've created or recreated the most powerful being in the world. Now, he will do my bidding unless, of course, I have no real way to control him. Gee I hope I'm not his first vic-gkgkgkkggggkgkkgaa"

the cliché where the protagonist always wins and never dies.

New york always gets destroyed during an alien invasion
