WHY DO THEY ALWAYS SLICE THEIR PALM TO GET BLOOD. do you know how many nerve endings are in your hand?!?! why don’t they ever cut the back of their arm or their leg or something omfg

WHILE WE’RE AT IT, why do people try to cross those skinny bridges over lava/chasms/whatever by walking upright. IT’S CALLED CENTER OF GRAVITY. get on your hands and knees and crawl across that thing. HUG IT. SCOOT YOUR BUTT ACROSS. “but i look stupid!” lalalala but we’ll avoid that ~dramatic moment~ where you almost fall over and die because your damn fucking self wanted to look COOL

yes, mr. action hero, I am aware that running dramatically from the baddies at breakneck speed is important, but know what else is important? NOT GETTING SHOT. RUN IN A FUCKING ZIGZAG PATTERN ON THE OFF CHANCE THAT THE MOOKS WERE NOT COACHED IN MARKSMANSHIP BY THE IMPERIAL STORMTROOPERS.

Put two bullets in the hero’s head when you capture them instead of expaining your whole evil plan and then there won’t be time for the side kick to come along and save them and stop you all at once.

When a vehicle is chasing you and can only obvioulsy go forward. (Big city with streets, trains, etc) Don’T RUN FORWARD IN FRONT OF THE THING. TURN IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION CAUSE i DONT THINK THAT CAR CAN DRIVE TO THE 5TH FLOOR OF A BUILDING

Like 99% of the original fan fic tropes came from Star Trek I’m not even joking
- fuck or die
- alien sex pollen
- evil alternate mirror au
- time travel au
- sped up ageing
- stuck in a frozen cave
- body heat sharing
- alien drunk disease
- body swap
- this man is my exact double
like there are so man more and I always see people being like ‘wtf where did the sex pollen trope even come from’ and the answer is Star Trek
The best part is?
All of this is canon.

My Least Favorite Trope (and this post will include spoilers for The Lego Movie, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Matrix, Western Civilization, and—cod help me—Bulletproof Monk*.) is the thing where there’s an awesome, smart, wonderful, powerful female character who by all rights ought to be the Chosen One and the hero of the movie, who is tasked with taking care of some generally ineffectual male character who is, for reasons of wish fulfillment, actually the person the film focuses on. She mentors him, she teaches him, and she inevitably becomes his girlfriend… and he gets the job she wanted: he gets to be the Chosen One even though she’s obviously far more qualified. And all he has to do to get it and deserve it is Man Up and Take Responsibility.
And that’s it. Every god-damned time. The mere fact of naming the films above and naming the trope gives away the entire plot and character arc of every single movie.
