100 Things that always happen in Movies that you Hate!
In romantic movies, when someone in the couple (usually the girl) changes for the other one. I'd have really liked "Grease" if it didn't have that ending.

WHEN IT'S BASED ON A BOOK AND THE PLOT GETS SCREWED UP (coughs aggressively in demigod)
OMG yes!! The Percy Jackson Lightening Thief movie ruined the books for me - it revealed the bad guy to soon!! 😱
DO NOT get me started in the Sea of Monsters movie...just don't.
The Disney+ adaptation better be good.
Yeah! We don't have Disney plus here, though!
I'm in America and I don't either, I don't want it honestly. That's what youtube is for
Haha, that's one way to look at it 😂!
We Asians are highly cost-efficient lol
You mentioned that once, Taiwan right?

Mod
And bollywood copying movies from hollywood or tollywood.
Why don't they try something orignal??
3. The main male character falls in love with the main female character for no reasonable reason at all! 🙄
4. It takes the the main character the entire 2-hour movie to realise they're in love with their best friend.

Sometimes I really like them as a couple, but it's so frustrating to watch them just not realise it. :) :) *eye roll*
I don't know... Is it really that hard to tell if someone likes you? I've never had a crush before, so I have no idea!
5. The overuse of cliches (eg. The sporty one, popular girl, nerd, and bad boy in a high school)
Amelie wrote: "5. The overuse of cliches (eg. The sporty one, popular girl, nerd, and bad boy in a high school)"YESYESYES! Oh, when I see these, I want to punch the directors! 👊🏻
Same! It’s way too common, and I would much prefer to see original characters with unique personalities instead.
Definitely!6. Any movie where "The Hero Gets the Girl" - just because you saved New York City from mutant aliens doesn't mean your crush will fall for you!
7. Women pretty much never going into battle with their hair pulled back.
8. women going into battle without proper armor just so the actress can showcase her body. accuracy over Hollywood, please.
AspiringAuthor wrote: "8. women going into battle without proper armor just so the actress can showcase her body. accuracy over Hollywood, please."Oooh, that is sooo sexist of them 😡😡!
9. Women always portrayed as "maiden in distress", and even if she's the heroine, she'll be surrounded by a ton of male characters. 😡🙄
10. In horror movies, when a group decides to split up for each to investigate something alone.
Oh, yes... I'm pretty sure that if Scooby Doo wasn't for kids they all would have died long time ago... Also, it's like the characters didn't watch any scary movies, amateurs
11. In teenage movies, if the MC is a girl the "popular girl" will be mean and rude to her just because; if the MC is a boy the popular girl is super nice to him and two things can happen:1. The boy gets the girl.
2. The boy wanted the girl but now realizes he loves his all time girl friend (this one is less common)
Harmony wrote: "13. ALSO, EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER IS ATTRACTIVE IN HIGH SCHOOL OR WHATEVER, WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?!"True!
14. The Chosen One - "You are the one who could save us all!" for absolutely no reason!
Amelie wrote: "10. In horror movies, when a group decides to split up for each to investigate something alone."I KNOW. It's dark, mysterious and creepy, and what do they decide? Oh, of course, let's SPLIT UP. Why?!?!?!
15. When all the superheroes are guys? (exaggeration, but A LOT of them are). :) :)
16. The female protagonist being all "goody two shoes".Like:
" Oh fine Sera, you just tried to kill me with a dozen explosives but I'm just so fOrgIvInG"
I mean they got to stand up for themselves -- --

17. Girl stuck between 2 guysThat is so cringey if it's not developed properly

YESYESYES.
18. The hero being a stupid idiot who is brave. I hate these 😓!!
Amanda (Artist Cat) wrote: "18. The hero being a stupid idiot who is brave. I hate these 😓!!"Yes! They just do the stupidest (not sure if that's a word! :) ) things and everyone forgives them because they're "brave."
The dead hero or heroine coming back to life when their love interest do something like kissing or something.
I hate it when the main characters are perfect for each other and are about to kiss and then something either interrupts them!!!!
I hate it when an important character is going to die but takes ages and ages to make a speech... Mostly it's just "believe in yourself" or "I will always be with you" or loads of cheesy stuff like it. So I just think "Oh please just die will you?!" even though I liked the character...
20. When they “kill” the villain but don’t look for the body, and are surprised when the villain is revealed to actually be alive.
Amelie wrote: "20. When they “kill” the villain but don’t look for the body, and are surprised when the villain is revealed to actually be alive."Yes!
21. When one character saves another character's life and the second character immediately forgives the first character of being mean to them, cheating on them, betraying them ir who knows what else. IT DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY!!!
22. When, for different reasons, the adventure or whatever the characters have been doing disappears. It can be erased memories, time travel, everything was a dream... I mean, after all they’ve been through, all the development, the laughs, the sobbing... it means nothing? I really hate those endings.
Oh yes! Like,23. they saw their best friend murdered but don't even go through any kind of trauma. Just cry and next scene they're fine again!
24 mentors that without fail die or turn evil
25. Anappropriate relationships (like mentor and student)
1. People coming back to life with pathetic excuses (sorry for the strong word - it's just A.N.N.O.Y.I.N.G!!)
