[Hated Tropes] Same stuff over and over and over again

Trolls in God of war(2018) - Troll comes out 10 times with only the color and type changed, and you have to fight it 10 times. The God of War series is well known for its great boss design and fighting. And, there are so many great monsters in Scandinavian Mythology. But Santa Monica Studio just used Troll 10 times. It was not fun, just lame and boring. Thankfully, they were aware of this problem, and they solved it in their follow-up, God of War: Ragnarök.

Magneto' story in X-men movies - He's a great villain in comics and movies too. Ian McKellen did a great job portraying him as a menacing and sad villain. Michael Fassbender also portrayed Magneto as well, but here comes a problem. His past stories are similar over and over again. Someone near him died. Magneto lost peace, got angry, then became violent. When I watched X-Men: Apocalypse, at the end, he reconciles with Xavier and leaves. I was glad that the story of his suffering and conflict was finally over. But in Dark Phoenix, he lost Mystique and became violent. Can we just keep him comfortable? I know he is the most famous villain in X-Man comics, but there are many other famous villains too.

Dark humors in kids films.

Censorship makes it funnier or scarier

Almost every F(censored) scene in PG 13 films - PG 13 film can use f-word only one time. So they cut out before saying f-word or other loud noise covers it. Personally, this cliché is hilarious.

​

Avatar - The last airbender - Due to Nickelodeon's censorship, Avatar couldn't use the word 'kill'. Instead, they used lines like finish the job, stop him, 'I can do unspeakably horrible to you.', and 'I'm not taking any prisoners today.'. This makes villains more scary.

[Hated Tropes] They denied their own lessons.

Kimetsu no Yaiba's Final selection - To become a demon slayer, they have to survive 7 days in the Forrest full of demons. The problem is that Forrest has a bunch of demons and almost every participant is too weak to fight those demons. The hand demon (pictured) lived in the forest almost 50 years and ate a lot of participants and became stronger. And much worse is that there is no helper to help or save those participants. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's actually not a test, it's been thrown at them as food.

​

Kimetsu no Yaiba's lesson is: Life is important. Don't treat others recklessly, even if it's their lives' But these arcs completely deny this lesson.

​

​

The Flash's ending - After Barry Allen tried to change the past, he learned that you can't change the past. If you try it, it will become a snowball and cause the bad catastrophe. This is also main lessons the film gives you. Don't stick too much on the past and move on to the future and change the world. But after Barry learned that lesson, he repeated same mistake. And the end, a whole DCEU changed.

​

Yes, Waner bros. were trying to reboot the entire universe. But because of that, it doesn't make sense to deny the whole lesson of the movie. If they had written an open ending like, "I'm not going to change the past, but I'm not going to give up proving my father's innocence," the fans would have come out satisfied.

Is there people looking for every yard sale in USA?

If you watch videos of American YouTubers, you often see videos of old toys or game consoles at low prices through yard sales. In fact, even if it's not just a yard sale, a similar case can be seen on YouTube regardless of the country if people sell secondhand.

As a result, people often hear about such used products, especially those whose owners do not know their value and aim to sell them cheaply. Is this the case in the United States too? Like, someone who heard they were doing a yard sale a little far away drives a car and buys it, or there's sites where they share that information...

[Hated Tropes] A series that satirizes clichés. But as the series gets longer and longer, it follows that cliché.

One Punch Man - It was a manga that satirized the cliché of the existing manga with the concept of killing anything at once because main protagonist is too strong. However, as the series got longer, It began to follow the shortcomings of the long series of Manga, such as the strangely strong enemy, the protagonist whose performance gradually diminished, and the plot hole.

The Boys(drama) - It was a drama that satirized the clichés as they broke away from the clichés of superhero movies. However, as the series progressed, they followed several clichés, including "Continued Conflict Structure," characters that die in vain, and deus ex machina.

How popular was O.J. Simpson before the incident?

My English is not good, so I used a translator.

I heard he was quite popular before the incident. I've seen the movie he starred in. But I don't know how much he was in terms of sports, which is his main job other than movies. How popular was he?
