Things in movies/TV shows that annoys/frustrates you - General

When villains do things just for the sake of their character seeming sinister. Also, the whole villain-killing-unsuccessful-henchmen card has been played to death.

I see that redshirts have some use, but I don't understand why some movies try to make them seem like they're more important than they actually are Also most of the time they fail at doing that, so in the end it's just "why is this guy talking, he has no purpose other than dying"

Bad guys dressed in dark sinister colours and the good guys all dressed in white. Its a subliminal method used by film makers to help the audience feel the characters in the correct context. I feel like I'm being insulted so fuck that and fuck them.

The frankly absurd lapses of logic some characters will have. Stuff they knew but suddenly forget, something they know or could've done that would've fixed the plot about 10 times faster than it took them but for some reason they didn't, that sort of stuff.

Lame lines during love squences.

[QUOTE=God dammit;40109833]Lame lines during love squences.[/QUOTE] "Gobble gobble." Damn it all.

The fact that whenever a trap or trick has been devised, the moment they've got what they want they immediately spend ten minutes explaining their plan to the enemy rather than actually doing it, and exposing every single part of their plan, to idiotic levels.

i was rewatching aladdin and i kinda felt that the romance was a bit out of place. the whole "do you trust me?" thing followed by the cheesiest song of all time just didn't feel like it made any sense. i know it's a kids movie but i think they could've done it a bit better

When people say "I'll tell you later" or just refuse to explain themselves. Or when nobody questions them.

Remakes too soon after the originals and some of the pointless sequels. $$$$$$$$$

I dislike it when superheroes can't be a little bit smug when they show off their powers to the public/other characters or if they do, it's just so corny (i.e. terrible delivery, retarded dialogue that makes no sense, e.g. Storm in X-men) in tone. Hell even Reeve in the 78 Superman film was a bit smug in that movie and he's the big blue boy scout. Love that smug ass Silver age smile he does when he catches Lois and then the helicopter when everyone screams in shock as it falls. It's like "lol everybody it's cool, I'm fucking Superman. I can do this with one arm".

I hate when mass is created in movies. Hulk: [sp]When banner was sitting on a chair and started turning into hulk he suddenly started to weight so much that the metal chair broke. Where did the mass come from?[/sp] Prometheus: [sp]The mass creating squid. First it grew inside a woman to size of a watermelon without hurting the woman, did it feed off her? If it did she would be fucked up. And then it grew to a size of a cow without eating anything.[/sp] I understand there are movies where you should ignore physics but come on, creating mass... it breaks the universe...

When animals dies, I don't know I just can't see animals die in TV/movies without getting sad. Seeing a human die? No problem, Am I weird? :(

Everyone feels that for some weird reason.

When people are too stupid to use guns. Okay, the good guy has just subdued the gun-carrying bad guy henchperson, does he take their gun? No, of course not, he just leaves it there for some other henchperson to find and start firing. Also, in horror stuff this happens a lot, when two individuals are fighting and rolling around on the ground in a fight to the death and a companion of the good guy, usually a love interest, just stands there with a frightened look on their face, watching. Like, fricking help, dang.

This is one thing I don't see too often, which only slightly bugs me: In movies when the main character just came out of a fight or something and they don't show the patching up process.

"We need to go to Mexico!" *now in Mexico*

[QUOTE=DudeGuyKT;40165396]"We need to go to Mexico!" *now in Mexico*[/QUOTE] Anyone else see the new Die Hard? "We have to go to Chernobyl" "K sweet" 'Now in Chernobyl' They literally just drive there from Russia without any documentation in about an hour. (Movie time)

[QUOTE=GeneralSpecific;40042627]The Wilhelm Scream. It's the equivalent of some guy yelling "Play Freebird!" at a concert. It's not even funny to use it ironically anymore. That's how overplayed it is.[/QUOTE] I really don't mind the Wilhelm scream showing up as much as that one constantly used stock sound effect that sounds like a possessed witch dying in a fire. It is often used in extremely inappropriate places where there is obviously no way the character supposedly screaming could sound like that. Ah, here it is [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BM_-TOMwMCA[/media]

The cliche of splitting up in a fucking normally terrifying situation. I would cling so fucking hard to someone instead of walking somewhere scary and dark with gay dick rapists hiding in the shadows. Shaky Cam. FUCKING SHAKY CAM. It ruins literally EVERY action scene. The first Christopher Nolan batman movie was fucking terrible to me because of every action kung-fu scene was using shaky cam to hide the terrible choreography or some shit. Learn from the masters of action films like John Woo, never shake the camera constantly during an action scene [B]ever[/B].

When the famous actor clearly doesn't give a damn and just want's his paycheck.

When the main hero fights a baddy, and they almost die, then they get new powers and finish the super strong baddy in one hit.

Oh, when they never fucking eat the food they ordered.

[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;40188334]All the Die Hard movies pulled that crap all the time.[/QUOTE] Not so much in Die Hard, for obvious reasons, and Die Hard With a Vengeance also avoided some of it by showing McClane and Zeus walking and driving around through New York.

Character development done wrong in TV shows. Mostly it goes like: Episode opens up showing this character being a jerk in some way we've never seen prior to this. Episode goes on to show how wrong they are. The problem is resolved and it never gets brought up again. Bonus points if it's about all the male characters suddenly becoming sexist for no reason and then being proven that women can do everything men can do by the end.

Stories where people who are not comforatable with homosexuality are portrayed as right wing bigots. Even people with traditional mindsets should be respected and not told they have to accept something they don't feel happy with. Sometimes I feel like theres an agenda behind some scripts.
