@@stephonmanny7555 The King of Clichés
In some children stories, there are three main characters.
1.) A male protagonist with a serious personality.
2.) A larger, sometimes unintelligent, best friend who provides comic relief.
3.) A female who happens to be the protagonist's love interest.
Why do I feel like you grabbed a checklist of everything you should include from the Terrible Writing Advice channel? XD
@@Kio_Kurashi I never even heard of it until you pointed it out. :P
@D'Tāh TeVï You don't even need to be a manga fan to be aware of it. I can think of a few western movies/shows that have shamelessly used this trope.
@@graymartineau8632 The EMOJI MOVIE
Omg that's the biggest cliche I've noticed.
Plot twist: all of these Mark Crilley-esque names are just Mark's way of adding his own cliche's XD
Frostyflytrap Yes, but each Mark is actually from an alternate universe! Aha! Bet you didn’t see that one coming! 😜
@@BijinMCMXC plot twisty twist: you have been asleep and it was all a dream and it was only one mark. and you imagine the rest.
Fr! I wonder if they're intentionally chosen or perhaps... crafted by the Master himself?
When the good guys are finally captured after a long chase, the bad guys always delay their execution for some reason (like to explain them their whole plan to conquer the world) and give them just enough time to escape.
To break that I tend to make the bad guy shoot the good one with a gun... and miss, so the good guy survive. So, the evil plan then have to come somewhere in the story : add a minion, to witch the evil guy is explaining everything. Then add the cliche of the stupid minion not understanding the plan and getting on the evil guy nerves xD
That was perfectly stated in Kingsman during that one scene with Samuel Jackson. Loved that part.
The cliche: When there's no other choice when there is another choice
Hero: *thinks they won the battle*
Villain: "this isn't even my final form"
Hero: *complete and utter shock*
I think one of the most popular cliches which people might not even notice is the "Yelling/Saying the name of your special moves" cliche which is so common. But I think it's used as a way to remind readers/viewers the name of the ability and it also sounds cool sometimes.
Like in my hero academia. They shout their moves but its awesome
Naruto world
CHIDOREHAMEFOR ALL SHOOT STYLE!!!
More examples which annoy me:
-1: Story begins with a student transferring from a distant high school (anime).
-2: Inside jokes, when only one or two jokes are told and everything else are references or derivations of those.
-3: Know-it-all teenager who knows more about a complex subject than veteran professors who have studied it all their lives
-4: Creature which is lighting fast when it first kills but becomes ten times slower when it comes to killing the protagonist.
-5: "You wouldn't understand". Specially when upon revealing what it is the character is talking about, turns out to be common knowledge.
-6: Reluctant old hero: The hero rarely is willing to come out of retirement and do the right thing right away.
-7: Evil boss shouts to his minions about the hero defeating them at every turn: "He's just one man!"
-8: Gadget builder: Usually only one person, but capable of producing weapons and gadgets superior to anything in the US military arsenal.
Also all the anime male protagonist that are visually the same in school anime , even the voice actors are very similar, and they are all dumb in social skills
....fuck you just exposed my gadget guy
"No matter how much of a tough rocker he thinks he is, he still gets the blushies" Is this Given? lol
😂
I always like the ones where the "old, wise, and trusted" master, teacher, or boss turns out to be the villain all along.
It's great when done well but *_terrible_* when executed poorly.
In Shonen manga, the main character very often is aiming to claim the "number 1" spot of the organization, school or group of people with a similar career. And there's always some kind of ranking system - like "be careful! That guy's holds the number three position at this organization! You'll never be able to beat him!"
Number 3 position dude gets his butt handed to them in 5 seconds flat. All the oooh and ahhhing abounds!
- Naruto: I will become Hokage (#1 ninja)
- My Hero Academia: I will become the number one hero
- Black Clover: I will become the Wizard King (#1 wizard)
- Katekyo Hitman Reborn: I will become the mob boss
- Kuroko no Basket: I will become the champion
- Inazuma Eleven: We will be the best football team
- One Piece: I will retrieve the One Piece (sort of gives the number 1 spot)
- Freakin’ Pokémon: I will become a Pokémon master (yay, it has finally ended)
Anything I missed?
Ps, only listed the ones I watched so I could be missing a few
@@xander5762 But in hitman reborn he did not want to be the boss.They forced the job on him.
Stephon Manny yeah okay but he sort of wants it eventually so it kinda counts
@@xander5762 Ash Ketchum wants to be the very best.
The fake out names did fool me up until the third one. I kept focusing too much on copyright infringement of the "Mark Crilley" brand in order to see the joke of the the names.
You got me, Mark.
In romances, when mc is "not like the other girls" and basically shits on other girls for being stereotypically girly lol. Or the nerd+jock/prep pairing in most highschool romances. Blegh
Haya Patel which almost never happens in real life.
@@BijinMCMXC exactly lol
It would be actually more interesting to see a nerd + nerd story for me.... This is nearly never done but I have hopes that it might works with good writing. It opens up an opportunity for cute but awkward-ish and some heart warming moments as the pair learn to confess their feelings to eachother and maybe accept themselves after they've been bullied for God knows how long 🤣 maybe the other one stands up for their partner.... Or something like that. Even if the guy ended up gets beaten by a team of jocks and popular girls just for his sweet darling..... Hmmm I'm thinkin too much...
When the villain captures the hero, the villain tells their whole plan. The hero yells, "YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!" the villain says, "I already have," and leaves the character for their doom.
One of my least favorite cliches is in romantic comedies. When the protagonist is in love with a girl and extremely jealous of her current boyfriend, the boyfriend is often an unsympathetic jerk - in order for us to root for the protagonist even more.
Biggest Movie Cliche: Wilhelm Scream
That's not a cliche, that's an easter egg tradition...and fair use.
@@juanmanuelpenaloza9264 Why can't cliche be fair use?
It's kinda the greatest (unless it's used by Illumination)
I'm not sure if this is a "cliche" but I've seen it in a few tv shows where an overweight character is presented with a food item and they take one bite and are able to tell exactly how it was made and with what ingredients.
Deku K Midoriya another similar one is when the pervy character can tell a girl measurments just by looking at her
Some people know their cooking well and can pin point lots of ingredients of a meal, but I think having it as an overweight person is the cliche. Some skinny people like food too. :)
@@giustyyt mineta!?
Here's a cliche when scientists create an advanced AI/Robot it will alway turn against them or cause other problems for the heroes later on down the line.
Well sometimes it's good like in attorney or megaman.
Oh man, I saw a movie on Netflix that I can't remember the name of where this was done in the hastiest possible way.
*Unrelated plot involving possibly-untrustworthy AI*
AI: "Oh btw, hijacked secret nuke satellites, blowing up mankind 'cuz [insert environmental message].
Human: Wait, wh-
Audience: Wait, wh-
*Nuclear apocalypse*
*Final 1/4 in which it becomes increasingly obvious that the director is a huge fan of exactly one Stanley Kubrick film.*
And they always have to have read eyes.
kind of like dbz
Here's a simple one. The protagonist and his/her love interest finally lean in for the big one. Then "out of nowhere" they are interrupted by a friend, or an event, or even the antagonist.
There's a term for that...
@@juanmanuelpenaloza9264 I forgot the term name.
@@veronicageorge3825 baiting
@@juanmanuelpenaloza9264 Thank you.
When the good guy dons a disguise no one recognises him, except the entire audience watching
Puts on a baseball cap. "No one can recognize me now!"
@@Kio_Kurashi Hahaha! Exactly!
Lol yeah it makes no sense that no one recognizes Clark Kent is Superman just because he’s wearing glasses lol
@@BijinMCMXC It's never worked for me! 😎
Actually that has some basis in reality. Changing either the top or bottom half of the face will be able to hide you!
Daddy issues. Have we gone over daddy issues? I feel like the dad is too often viewed as the 'bad guy'.
The Pirate one also happens with a parting prisoner crowd for the toughest prisoner vs new guy...also in Westerns during a brawl in a saloon then the gunslinger appears.
Yup. Same song different verse.
Yeah so many examples of this, even kids fighting or goofing off in school and then THAT teacher or principal appears.
I guess we can call this cliche "Boss is here act casual"
#9 It amazes me how character A is able to remember word for word.
That's why Character B is surprised.
To elaborate on number 10: All characters spent the whole film firing bullets left and right, but the last fight is a fist fight.
Ran out of ammo?
Sometimes they'll have swords
I think the reason they do that it's because killing the villlain with a simple missing bullet would be so plain, so they make that, in the final climax, the villain will be defeated with no bullets, either he falls from a big height, squashed by a falling building, stabbed, arrested, getting his ass kicked with mere fists, hit by a car...
How 'bout when a guy's shrugging and watching an angry woman leave saying "What'd I say?"
Thank you for making me cringe this beautiful early morning. it is a painful cliche
its more of a reality
Agh. Just reading this reminded me how much that angers me. I think that cliché has contributed to how many boys grow up thinking it's acceptable, or even a positive masculine trait to be inconsiderate and lack emotional intelligence. I hope the trope dies hard.
@Mother Hen listen what
*all! raisy thy pitchforks!*
Cliche's abound. Good triumphs over Evil - Crime does not Pay - Murderers always get caught or face justice - Loves always wins - The good guy or gal always comes out on top - Women now are smarter and tougher than men - Superhero always has a psychological issue or two that are unresolved. The unknowns always have horrors - Sexy woman cannot be trusted and will cheat - same for guys - a marriage usually has some type of villain or action that happens to rip the couple apart - Profane language is the common vernacular - and much more...
About the crime doesn't pay one...I think Wolf of Wall Street broke that cliche. I mean, all Jordan Belford got was a few years in a cushy prison, spending time with Cheech as his cellmate, wrote a book with Leonardo Dicaprio playing him in a movie adaptation, and is STILL RICH AS HELL!!
I'm starting think some if these names aren't from real people...
The mark crilley fake (seeming) names where funny
A trope that irks me somewhat is humanoid aliens. It's very rare to see a sapient alien species that deviates from the bipedal humanoid form (if it's a feral beast that wants to eat the heroes, well then, all bets are off). Even more annoying when it's what TV Tropes call the "rubber forehead aliens". I just dislike how there's an opportunity for creativity, but no one seems to take it.
From a scientific lense, it may make more sense that to sustain life their planet would be kinda similar, and thus the most advance of the species would have similar traits or features. (Not saying they would look like Goku, but other aliens from DBZ)
@@EFlame01 You make that claim, but here's a counter claim. Probability that should a large number of sentient alien races be encountered that 90+ percent of them would be mostly humanoid in shape and/or function implying that that much of the cosmos would have planets creating sentient life with similar environments or other traits as we do here on earth.
I mean I know the real reason is that for the most of cinema it's much easier to do practical effects with humans in suits if you need them to be able to communicate, and we haven't really had that much drive to create alien life that would require other forms of implimentation like CGI. That being said I really like Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets even if most of the aliens interacted with would still fall into the category of humanoid. At least the author worked to get some decent concepts based on how they might have grown in the environment they came from.
Well, they may be some kinda humanoid (kinda), but its because of this that I love star wars' depiction of aliens rather than most movies/shows/anime which I have seen, at the moment. That comes from someone whose previous project (book) made me develop a fairly amount of alien lifeforms (sentient and non-sentient).
I can understand why they did this traditionally in TV/movies/theatre; it's much easier to put human-shaped actors into human-shaped costumes than to do something different. But, it's true, it would be nice to see more aliens who are drastically non-human. And now that we have such good CGI, it would be nice to see more of that.
It's a lot easier to do this in written works, though. I've been working on a fictional universe for a while, and I've been trying to insert more species who aren't humanoid. So far, I have a race whose "bodies" are made of an electrically conductive cloud with suspended crystalline structures in it; a race of sapient plantoids who have no limbs, and are immobile unless they receive mechanical implants of some kind; and I've toyed with the idea of an arachnid species who are some of the kindest people imaginable, but whose outward appearance freaks out most other species.
...Yeah. Still needs some work, though.
Yesss please continue this series of story telling and writing.
Much love Crilley from Afghanistan, 82nd Airborne. Watching your videos since I was just a kid.
How's things over there?
@@juanmanuelpenaloza9264 bad
Maybe this one: Character A and B are bad mouthing an off-screen Character C. Finally, Character A becomes quiet and stares to a point behind Character B. Character B then says, "he's standing right behind me, isn't he?", usually with a dismayed look.
One thing (which I actually wrote in some way) is incompetent police in detective stories or even stories about phantom thieves. They can never manage to capture the criminal or the thief. Example: Detective Conan. The incompetent police is actually Kogoro in that case (though he does have his brilliant moments), and they can never manage to capture Kaito Kid.
horror genre cliche that i hate
"mommy, I saw a ghost, I'm scared..."
"nonsense, there's no ghost! go to sleep!"
if your child said there's something in the house at night, just go check it!
The No. 3 cliche sounds something you might see or read on One Piece. Heck imagine that being the ending to the series.
There's always someone sitting in the backseat, yet the protagonist never seem to notice until he's already in the car with a gun to his head.
A way to subvert for each of the clichés in this list.
1. Have the team actually lose and explore the cost of that. After all, for every winner, there's always everyone else who just sucks.
2. Instead of having the bad guy sitting there waiting, put them under the desk so that when the person coming into the room draws near they can reveal themselves after luring the person into a false sense of security.
3. Have the same thing happen but instead of revealing the captain, show some other character who just made a mistake (like accidently firing off a gun while drunk or something).
4. Okay this one would require some settup for my idea, but what if, and I mean what IF, the dective planned to be taken off so that they could instead double down on their criminal enterprises. Yeah, I'll admit I kinda changed up the premise of the story, but you didn't know that until you read it. What a twist!
5. Best way to subver this one: Don't have it in. If you must then have it such that it's a dream sequence or a twin or something. I hate this one. :'(
6. Wait. Is this one really super common as to have been labeled a cliche? Well okay then. Person A pistol whips them upside the head and takes the bullets. You pull bull, I whip bull.
7. Subversion: They may be skeptical, but they still prepare for it as if they fully believed it. Thus when the day is saved or whatever may happen, they are hailed as a hero for being prepared. (Makes me think of the guy who built the wall in World War Z)
8. Have the other members of the team already understand their friend so well that they don't need to know the plan. Could even say that the Planner Person knows this.
9. "That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works."
10. I concur with Crilley here. It's not unexpected unless you see the body dismembered, burned, and chunked into space. Perhaps try that and THEN haven them come back for another fight.
Bonus: Always have the cliche of blushies. They're a requirement.
Cliché: A very strong character who is afraid of nothing, only to find out they are super terrified of something like spiders, or cats, or bees, or cars painted red, etc.
In an apocalyptic scenario, someone quickly enters a room(more than likely the bathroom). Then, it turns out someone or something was in there and the character gets attacked.
A group of children discover some mystery or some weird conspiracy that might lead to something more serious and they tell the sensible adults but no one believes them even with proof, much less try to at least investigate it.
#8 done completely wrong: Star Wars with Vice Admiral Holdo
#8 done right: Avengers Endgame with Dr. Strange
MARK MY GUY, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MAN. I used to watch you all the time when I was younger but at a certain point you just disappeared out of my recommendations and if it weren't for my memory being jogged just now I don't know how long it would have been until I'd be back.
On a side-note though, I was wondering if you could draw Hisoka from Hunter x Hunter! I remember drawing your Sebastian Michaelis back in the day and to date it's my favorite drawing. I'd love to have that again but this time with Hisoka.
Much love ❤
Not sure if you've mentioned this cliche yet but when the bad guys win then they make a direct sequel to it where the good guys end up winning
Love your art btw
Avengers movies, is that you?
Ninja turtles is that you
Guard: No, you can't enter.
Character A: Really. (Makes a phone call) He wants to speak to you.
Guard: (Takes phone) Who is this? Oh, sir. My apologies, you may enter.
Hi Mark! Great video! I love your art and I have both Mastering Manga and Chibi! You're an inspiration and a mind reader haha! Keep making cool art!
One cliche is the moment a villain reveals themself as someone the protagonist knows.
"The person would say, 'I don't want to marry her, I don't, I don't!' And then cut to 'I do'"
Did you mean: Much Ado About Nothing
Hello Mark!! I’ve been going through nostalgia recently and remembered about you, I used to watch your anime drawing tutorials and from what I remember the first video I saw of yours was “how to draw manga eyes step by step” I started watching you 8 years ago when I was 7 years old I am currently 15, and it just amazes me that after all these years I still draw and that you still make videos, I hope you continue your journey on UA-cam. Best wishes to you :D
17:28 My mom got me that book for Christmas few years ago! I'm trying to get a start in on comics and she got me that since she knows I like the Manga style :) Still have it here on my desk :)
Yes! I love your storytelling videos!
Guy and girl tripping (usually running from antagonist) then rolling down a hill into each other's arms cliché.
Great video!
Cliche idea: 1.The cute, little character(usually female) that's always happy/positive and portraits as weak, will at time of crises, become very aggressive and terrifying.
2. The protagonist is getting beat in the climactic battle, and is about to give up. Then a lover/mentor/best friend tells them that it's not about brains and brawn,
it's all about "heart", and they've got the biggest heart. The hero is full of hope and new energy to take on the antagonist and wins.
- We need to get to
(cut, show caracters in new location)
- the {insert name of the place}
I want Mark to read my audiobooks. He has such a good voice and impressions to nail story reading...
Some of these cliches I sometimes can't avoid, but dammit, I'll make an effort!
I like how some heist movies have a workaround for no. 8 where the planner would describe the plan step by step and the visuals would be the team executing the plan. Sometimes, if the plan was doomed to failure, after showing us the success, there would be a cut back to the planning room and then the team would try to do the heist and fail or they'd succeed but have lots of unexpected trouble on the way.
Most hated trope ever is from almost every romatic manga ever: The scared dude too afraid of being in relations with the girl.
Hated it as a teen, really hate it now.
i agree, that one’s very stale. but strangely enough i find it cute the other way around(a girl afraid to tell her feelings to the boy).
Cliche 11: Author lurks while studying your videos, developing confidence to make his own graphic novel. Started producing it Monday. So not really a cliche, but your videos have been indispensable. ありがとうございます！
Awesome Video !
Stories can't move along if the main character dies, removing all tension if the main character seems to be losing a fight. Because you know they aren't going to die.
I know I'm posting a lot but how about: Characters assume something about a character (they have a sad past and therefore don't talk about it, they're mute that's why they don't talk, they don't like for a dramatic reason, they're not intelligent/social/ like a hobby or something or another because they never see the person doing the thing) but then are completely surprised by the fact that the person isn't that (They don't talk about family because their family life is pretty average thus nothing to talk about, they just don't like talking, they don't like the thing because they just don't like it [or they do like it they just aren't INTERESTED in it], they ARE that thing but it just doesn't show, etc.). I kinda like the trope cause it's like:
"Wait, you are/aren't ??"
"Yes... have you not noticed?"
"Yeah well "
A variation on the "I have a plan" cliché is for the character to begin explaining the plan as the scene transitions. This way, the whole team can be in on the scheme while the audience is not.
I think this is mostly a JRPG cliché, but: The Christianity-esque (and especially Catholicism-esque) religion being secretly evil. In games such as Final Fantasy X, Tales of Symphonia, and Bravely Default, the settings' primary / only religion is a millenia-spanning dastardly plot put in motion by the main villain.
Also: The looming corporate empire that somehow isn't affected by any laws until the end where all the executives get arrested.
The "religion that everyone but the main character believed in is secretly evil" trope is very real and very tiring. You see it in horror movies as well.
Very cool thanks so much
When the main character suspects the new character, who, to everyone else seems perfectly normal, and the main character is just jealous or paranoid, but they end up being right in the end anyway.
DON'T MESS WITH MY *NAKAMAAAAAA*
Sugestion: make another series that deals with tropes. Distinguishing the difference between tropes and cliches and listing examples.
One of re-occurring cliche in films is that when a group of characters or a character set out a goal, and a montage of shots of the character/s then practice, having fun. Accompanied by catchy music.
Loved brody's ghost and Miki Falls. When is your next manga story coming out? 😉
Awesome dude🤟😆😆😆😆😆
Thanks again Mark Crilley
For the first one, maybe instead of them coming back, the team has to figure out how to do it without.
This can cause issues later on with them, too, and lead to interesting character dynamics. The team is likely to hold a grudge, as maybe this was uneeded stress, or they even got second place because of the person ditching them.
Hey Mark, I am not sure if you will see this since it has been a couple days since this was posted... but would you mind doing a writing video about adding conflict into a story or between characters?
I know people complain all the time about how everyrhing would be solved if the characters just talked things out so I want to make sure I add well written conflict
The old wise man who has the exact solution to every problem, no matter how obscure, specific or ancient the problem might be
I'll try to draw it.
Love the music.
I hate when a young child character tells their parent/guardian about a terrible discovery they've made, only to be met with, "Haha the mind of a child sure is silly"
Can, putting the camera down and the filmer ‘’camera person’’ comes into frame; to look straight into the camera, still work?
Unless it's a homemade documentary (Project X or Blair Witch Project) Do not include it
@@juanmanuelpenaloza9264 thats the point, those things are overplayed by now...
Awesome
These cliches makes me laugh lol
Is this a common cliche?: Major hero goes against major villain, hero dies and villain seemingly does too, but alas villain lives so a new hero must kill the bad guy.
Where I've seen this before: The Transformers Movie (1986)
Like 556..👍👍 Awesome 👍 drawing
number 7 i dont see it as a cliche, i see it as something realistic, skeptics are annoying in real life and believers are more probable to be more appealing, though skeptic main characters can be interesting for writing
9:22 Personally, I never understood how they can hold all the bullets in one hand. I have big hands, but holding 6 (assuming it's a 6 shooter) bullets in one hand without dropping any or revealing any is hard. I also know of variations where they have the gun's magazine switched out for an empty one and the loaded one is behind the characters back in their pocket or something (as a woman, this is difficult as all our pockets can scarcely hold a DS cartridge let alone a gun magazine :P)
edit: a variation of such trope is that Person A misses on purpose or hits something behind person B because SURPRISE A was on B's side the whole time! :) Or person A pulls the trigger but a flag pops out saying "BOOM" or "BANG" cause it's a gag. The latter is generally reserved for clown or clownish characters, most notably The Joker (and some Looney Tunes Characters)
When a character gives a decent plan to the group and when they make the first move it cuts to them being captured (tied up or in a cage)
When the characters in the story are faced with a problem, one of them says they only have 2 or 3 options. But in the end, they all choose an extra option from that list, which isn't immediately revealed until the moment it is being or has already been carried out.
I was here a couple of days ago, but have returned to offer this cliché. Which I think is a bit better.
The First Movie, was such a success, that we need too make a Sequel... But this time, we'll give it a darker atmosphere, darker setting, and darker story far from what we had ever intended.
(Or just make it darker than the first movie.) 😂
In a comedy, there usually only one "one sane man"
There also usually unemotional lazyheads who are all serious, but their seriousness used for comedy effect. Much like in the second terminator fil (not a comedy indeed) John asks The Terminator to "promise not to kill anyone", to which he gets "What?", making John explaining. It all comes down to the machine with dead face rising hand and promising not to kill anyone.
The heroes have to collect stones of power.
A cliché I realy hate is the one where a character will be on the ground presumed dead, with another character crying over their body. But you just know that the character can't be dead so you just sit there waiting for them to open their eyes.
One cliche I like is the secret badass/BA
Character A will seem to have to upper hand, character B will try to figure a way out with no luck
but then, character C, who we’ve usually just met earlier, will smile and do a secret ultimate move
saving the day in the nick of time. My favourites are, Toph, The Violator, Kirby, EVE, and Popeye.
6:58 I believe that's called a "Gilligan Cut" since that trope was used so much in the TV show (one of my favourites btw) "Gilligan's Island" (which is primarily a comedic show)
Emily Harper good to know! I personally really enjoy this trope when used sparingly.
The ‘Tsundere’. The female character who almost always hits, slaps or in general be rude to their love interest (usually the protagonist) and then tries to win their crush over but almost never gets why they don’t love her back. In the case their feelings are mutual, she still hits and slaps the love interest but they shrug it off.
Makeover scenes! Especially if the character getting a makeover is already attractive to begin with, she’s just a plain character with glasses. And then she’s told she’s‘beautiful all along’ or ‘beautiful on the inside’... Usually it’s not the guy she’s been crushing on who’s the jock/popular guy, it’s the‘second best nice guy’ with no personality.
And in shoujo manga, the girl never gets the genuinely nice guy that she wants (with lighter hair). She always gets the meaner, mysterious guy who treats her like dirt in the beginning (with dark hair).
Nice video

Some cliches that are overused and old:
-- A character is doing something weird, embarrassing or personal while another is watching secretly. When the one doing the weird thing realizes they're being watched, they say "How long have you been standing there?" to which the other says something like "Long enough." or "Not long at all."
-- Character arcs that involve introversion being treated like a character flaw, to the point that it prevents a character from "living their best life". Being an introvert is not the same as being shy and is not something to "overcome".
-- Large houses not having security systems/alarms. Or when they do, they don't make a sound (they're supposed to beep whenever a door with a contact is opened).
-- When a character is on the villain's side, but starts to like the good guys the more the spend time with them, then when it's revealed they were on the villain's side originally, they say something like "I can explain! It' s not what you think!" or "It started out that way, but things are different now!" but then they suddenly can't find the right words to explain, or the good guys don't give them time to explain.
Tropes that I actually enjoy:
-- When two characters are about to kiss and just before their lips meet, something (or someone) interrupts them and they immediately get embarrassed.
-- When the nerdy, techy, geeky sidekick character has a crush on someone and they end up together after a few awkward attempts to talk to each other.
-- Dressing room montage: when a character needs to find a special outfit for a special event in the story, and they go to a clothing shop with their friend(s). Cue the montage of them trying on random outfits, showing their friend(s) who shake their heads "no" at each outfit... until the last one which, of course, is the right outfit. But the audience doesn't get to see it until the scene of the event.
So many recognizable cliches
Blushies, are never clichéd. They're defiant in all mediums. ✊🏽😂
Hi Mark👋
the captain scene is the opposite to the dance movie scene... instead of one character leaving they all have an even stronger bond afterwards. switch captain with coach and it's a sports movie again :D
There are some cliches that came to mind that I'm surprised haven't been in a video yet.
1. In action movies you see the action hero/heroes walking away from an explosion and facing the camera while epic music is playing.
2. In modern kids cartoons, the main character is a child who is innocent and thinks that their role model(s) live the most amazing life ever compared to their more mundane lives until they get a taste of what their role model(s) go through, and by the time something serious and dramatic happens, that main character becomes more aware of the dangers that they've put themselves into and show character development by taking the situation more seriously but still show their more innocent side in their private lives.
3. A child is happy to see a clown, but once the clown gets to close to the child, the child grabs the clowns nose only to realize that the red nose is fake and the kid either gets mad, freaks out and runs away, or starts crying (more common with characters who are babies or toddlers)
When a character says "Is it just me or..." and then it shows the big trap. Like "Is it me or is it getting hot in here." and then it reveals that they're in a furnace or something.
