You know that cliche where it goes like this?
Man: Don’t touch the furnace, the plants, or anything.

Kid2: Don’t touch that atomic bomb!
Kid1: He didn’t say don’t touch the atomic bomb, so that means I can touch it!
Kid2: Oka-

They can be done well in stories, but I usually see them as cheap and lazy.

I don’t have an issue, as long as they’re being deconstructed, or played well. Or a parody.

“I can’t believe he died.”
“Oh, no! We are being attacked!”
Dead guy comes to save the day.
“We thought you were dead!”
“It’s a long story.”

“Hi! I’m a villain! I acknowledged I’m evil!”
Really hate villains who blatantly say they’re evil. The thing that makes villains like Darth Vader/The Empire successful is that they think they’re the good guy from their point of view (though they still look evil).

I hate it when so many films cram the whole “It is your destiny, nobody’s perfect etc” brouhaha down your throat. Seriously, do you have to be so forceful with your message?

Why doesn’t someone just link a bunch of Cinemasins videos or a list of Adam Sandler movies? How about the dialogue portion of the Fant4stic script?

Pretty much every character in an Adam Sandler movie.

Cliches don’t have to be bad. A skilled writer can use a cliche but still make things interesting.
…But most writers just use the tried true and exhausted tropes we’re all familiar with 'cause it’s easy.

Everyone assumes Black and red are bad guy colors but I’m living proof they ain’t. I mean seriously I’m not always a bad guy.
