What's Your Most Hated Movie Tactic?
Whenever you go to see a film of some sort, there can always be some tactic or two that the director uses and you disagree with. So, I ask, what is your least favorite cop out in film?
Mine would be: Plot Armor, sticking your protagonist/antagonist in an situation in which other background characters fail, only to have them succeed for the sake of the plot.

1 ReplyHaving a male character lied to and impregnated by an alien and proceed to give birth to an alien baby.

4 RepliesI hate when 20 enemies surround the main character, to then only attack one at a time... action movies love doing this.
-
When the main character says/does something normal people wouldn't care about but for the sake of drama everyone freaks out.

A main male protagonist doing most of the work, a female protagonist is also capable, but only included for the sake of being a sex toy- I mean love interest. Oh they hate each other at first? There is no way they are going to be banging- oh sike, just kidding. At least be honest and make it only about sex, or heck, their sex interest doesn't have to be another main protagonist character. Plot armor, main protagonist not dying or dying only for epic reasons or a heroic death at the end. Antagonists always dying or losing at the end. Happy or bitter-sweet endings in general are getting annoying. Shootouts where no one (except the protagonists) can hit anyone. Countless people can die in an instant if wanted unless you know who they are, then of course they get plot armor.

2 RepliesA few things 1) when a character gets picked up and thrown through a wall or some shit, falls the the ground and lies there for a second... And then gets up and keeps fighting like nothing happened. Like, YOU SHOULD BE DEAD M8. 2) when a character is sneaking in somewhere, or lying or some shit and is acting [i]suuuuuuuuuper[/i] suspicious and no one says anything. Have security guards never seen anyone ever lie EVER??? Cmon!!!! 3) monolouging... Enough said 4) when the only reason the main character can do anything ever is because the bad guys can't shoot for SHIT! 5) when a main character dies and then is later revealed to be Alive BATMAN V SUPERMAN 6) when a villains plan relies on something that is totally chance 7) when passwords to computers and so incredibly easy to guess it's like, why even bother having a Damn password 8) when all the info anyone ever needs can A) be found on only one computer that is tight out in the open Or... B) takes [i]forever[/i] to download and then someone is small enough to fit on one flash drive 9) >boy meets girl >girl doesn't like boy >boy does heroic shit >girl gets with boy OR When that happens and they make it look like there is gonna be a bit love store except at the end when the guy asks the girl to marry him or whatever the girl doesn't get with the guy and instead makes it so obvious that the movie was just trying to be different. Just keep the pointless love story out. Please. 10) I had something else but I can't remember. Will edit when I figure it out

2 RepliesMaking an animated movie that somehow has made people blind to even greater animated movies. (I'm [i]especially[/i] looking at a certain Disney movie from 2013). [spoiler]It's a good movie, don't get me wrong, but I don't think the movie is as great as people say it is, and it is still talked about and merchandised [i]to death[/i] and I really just wish it would all die down. Maybe then people will know of the great animated movies from the years following it...[/spoiler]

1 ReplyJump scares. There's no fear involved whatsoever. It's just instinct to react to something loud and unexpected. Yet somehow people in the theater think it's funny.

6 RepliesShaky cam, the idea being that it conveys tension and action to the audience. All it does is make me sick.
