Favourite Movie/Book Trope?

[Krys]

My personal favourites are

• Brutus-like reveal of the villain (LE GASP, they were my brother/bestfriend/mentor the whole time!)
• Scary music during otherwise innocuous scene bc the killer is in the room
• Superhero puts on famous costume for first time accompanied by theme music
• Classic rag-tag group of misfits go on an adventure and become like family
• hero becomes villain AND/OR villain becomes hero

Yours?

Thank you! Movie tropes are so much fun, I'm glad other people get a kick out of them.

I like it when villainous characters have an arc that redeems them into less villainous if not heroic characters.

I like the princess scream and faint pretty but otherwise useless objectified female trope.

And I like the INTJ villain undone by arrogance and overlooking a seemingly small but actually pivotal detail trope.

I enjoy warrior women, bad girl, amazon, etc tropes
