Hey Pandas, What’s A Book Or Movie Trope You Can’t Stand?
Character has: Dead parent(s) undiscovered magical powers Character: Goes into a magical world (usually by accident) HP and Land of Stories did it well, but the rest? UghHey Pandas, What’s A Book Or Movie Trope You Can’t Stand?
LOUD MUSIC. talking. LOUD GUNFIRE. whisper. LOUD MUSIC. GUNFIRE. EXPLOSIONS. EXCITEMENT? Not a trope in a strict plot device way, and thankfully not a problem in books, but damn I hate it.Hey Pandas, What’s A Book Or Movie Trope You Can’t Stand?
Forced inclusion. I don't mean including characters from marginalized groups, but when the author tries to "fill a quote" of certain representation. This usually means a shallow representation, or based entirely on harmful stereotypes or characters that we only know they're gay or something like that.

"Stickers on hats." JonnySnowflake comments: "When I was young, I bought a hat and left the sticker on, because it was the thing to do. A few years later I realized it was dumb, and also peeling so I tore it off. Turns out the hat was more faded than I thought. So I stuck my own sticker on to hide the shame."

"Text on everything! No, I don't want to wear a shirt that says 'Sweet angel'. And clothing with city names I've never been to." Lextube comments: "I'm from the UK and bought some cheap t-shirts from Primark a few years ago and one of them had the name of some American university on it. A few months later I'm out shopping and an American tourist comes up to me all excited telling me he went to that university and asked when I graduated I felt bad explaining to him it was some 3 quid t-shirt from Primark and I'd never heard of the place."
