What Movie Cliches do you hate the most?

Spouse walks in on a misunderstanding with someone of the opposite gender, immediately gets upset and assume they're being cheated on, and other person has no time or way to explain the misunderstanding before they storm out. A simple "she was helping me take off my wet clothes cause we were caught in the rain" explanation would solve the problem right then and there.

A similar one is the Chekov's Gun of a lie established in act one, causing a temporary rift in a friendship/partnership by the end of act two, and things are supposed to immediately be resolved in like, the last ten minutes or so of act three. The whole "Never Been Kissed," "you mean you were lying to us the whole time? It doesn't matter; we're just going to have a fight for five minutes or so and go back to being besties" cliché.

And although it's not used as much anymore with a better public understanding of technology, the Zoom and Enhance cliché from the 2000s used to always annoy me, too.

And yeah, the "back to back, guy and girl tag team" pose is almost as cliché as the red text on white background cliché.

I think @Berethor would love this question.

[MCheetah]

Thanks for the MHO.

The teal & orange thing is worse.

It would be okay if it were just the posters, but it's the color-grading in the movies themselves that's really bad (though it does at least make it easy to spot a shitty movie at a glance).

It’s okay for Transformers to do it though

[TheSpaceGnome]

This one, and sepia.

[Agape93]

The hyper competent protagonist
The plot somehow revolving around an obscure skill The protagonist has
The only badass women being these uber bitches that look like super models

[77five]

there's a guy and girl protagonist….. so they just HAVE to eventually fall in love or hookup 🙄

Not in Shang-Chi, HEEHEEHEEHAW

There are too many to list. There is one movie I have come to despise. Don't get me wrong "A few good men" had some great actors in it. I just don't care for the way that movie slandered Officers in the USMC. There is no way EVEN 40 years ago that a full-bird Colonel would insult a female the way it was presented during that breakfast scene. Also when a "code red" blanket party is ordered it is NOT a Colonel that does it. This comes from a Gunny or higher enlisted who has done all they can do and just starts punishing the entire platoon or company. Now go research the REAL story this movie was based on. The Marine did NOT die, but one of the Marines charged a David Cox was found dead a while later and that crime has yet to be solved. There is a retired "Gunny" that lives about 3 doors down from me. He was in gitmo when the true story happened. He knew David Cox. To this day he refuses to watch that movie.

When „ze German“ has to be a tall, stone faced blonde that stands and moves in „military“ fashion.
The pale, bespectacled science „nerd“
The big titted and dumb bimbo girl

[Jaximus-Lion]

That is more (stereotypical) than cliche. 🤷‍♂️

[DenizLikesTennis]

This one cliché that people still believe up to this day.

Be the Bad boy and you will get all the women on this planet. Every little single one.

Don't be friendly and kind. Become rude. That's manly and cool

[Berethor]

Not sure why @MCheetah think that I hate movie cliches but I am not a fan of hollywood tactics, I am also not a big fan of waif-fu, and mary sue like rey from star wars.

[MCheetah]

TVTropes is an entire website of movie and TV clichés. But I didn't think you'd "hate them," just know a lot about them.

[Berethor]

Yea I like TV Tropes, though GAG not allow me to put an direct links for the tropes.

Mother's spirit gets put into daughter's body, and vice versa.

[PainusNdeeAnus]

Bad guys have terrible aim especially in western or historical movies because the good guy will run into a crowd of guys with guns kills all of them without reloading despite the fact he should’ve been shot 1,000 times

[dustybiker]

Depends on the cast. I generally dislike them, but some actors make the movie great.

[mandyfire98]

Oh my God. The back to back poster thing is crazy. It's every movie lol.

[genericname85]

the recent cliche of changing the ethnicity or gender of roles in remakes or reboots. that shit really grinds my gears.

[Andridaca]

That guns are almost never accompanied with recoil.. It pisses me off.

[DryGermanGuy]

And they never run out of ammunition! It's called the "Rambo-effect".

[Andridaca]

@DryGermanGuy lmao.. Not to mention, they can't shoot through shit, mfs can use doors as protective walls, and skillets as body armor.

[Hardworkingguy]

When a girl rejects a man's love just because they were friends first and then she realizes he's the one...

[Gloree]

The stuck in a time loop thing or the stuck in hell thing

One of the MANY flaws I fix with Yvridio Vaseilio.
