My pet peeve is that screenwriters, directors, and producers know and recognize even more tropes than we do. Somewhere along the line, things were rushed and/or lazy. Someone just said “aw, fuck it.”
If the filmmakers don’t give a shit about the final product, why should I?
Tropes are not something one should avoid at all times. Tropes are there because they work. It's the lazy use of tropes as a crutch that is the problem.
