    One trope that I genuinely can not stand is Teacher/Student relationship one. It’s always the student that gets blamed for it even happening.
    To go into depth, if a man is a legit grown ass and the girl is literally high school aged, the girl is always being disciplined for it by her parents. Instead of it being the girl’s parents talking about it to the teacher and them being mad that person for actually committing an actual crime. Also, you are glowing. The fit + hair looks awesome on you.

Like I'm talking about whole parents shipping their own 4-year-olds with a random fucking child JUST because they were playing in the sand together. Like bffr.

      Either that or saying condescending shit like “you’re too young to know that” or “ what you’re going through the phase you will grow out of it “ but maybe even was abusing them, or kicking their TEENAGE/CHILD out of real life, resulting in them being homeless or killed, because they came out as queer

    15:15 I hate love triangles because it’s never a Triangle, it’s more of a “V” with a bolded , straight line to one guy and a faded, dotted line to the other. Like you clearly know who’s going to be endgame. The other guy is usually used a rebound/placeholder if the main guy/girl broke up with the main character or left. It’s so disingenuous because the new guy really likes/loves MC but MC is not fully invested😞. Classic example of this is in Twilight.

      It feels like whenever there's a love triangle "V" that if the writer(s) were able to produce two likable love interests, that the one not chosen would be given a character assassinating storyline to try to show why the chosen character makes the most sense. I always found that to be an unnecessary technique for the triangle trope because it destroys a character that was once cared for, usually in such a lazy and disjointed way that makes it wildly out of character for certain choices to be made for the sake of the plot.

I remember a passage in the books where Bella was imagining a future with Jake up, and he did look happy together. I think that the main reason that Bella ended up with Edward is because she was enticed by the lifestyle of vampires and immortality. She was not able to get that with Jacob. Bella Swan had a fear of growing old.

    I'm so surprised you put femme fatale at the top. It's awesome when it's done right, but when it isn't, it can be quite sexist. It can basically be an excuse to dress a lady super sexy and give her no personality because "she's mysterious" and the only person who can get through to her is the male character.

    That’s not a a manic pixie dream girl. The point is that she DOESNT have development or depth. The best thing about Sex Education (season one in particular) is that they subverted many of the classic tropes (except Adam*). The manic pixie dream girl trope seems to be mis- or not fully understood. See Kristin Dunst in Elizabeth town, Natalie Portman in Garden State, or the mermaid chick from that old Tom Hanks film.
    A similar, but maybe slightly more distributing, trope is the Born Sexy Yesterday trope. PopCulture Detective has a video on this. I think he is the first to coin that term. An example of this trope is the main character on The 5th Element. There can also be some overlap between the two tropes. For instance that mermaid in that Tom Hanks movie is both.
    *There are two things so wrong with Adam’s character and story arch. The first the DL jock as stated in this video. The second is the enemy to lovers. My biggest issue with the second one is that one character is generally a bully to the other and then they suddenly date. And after dating the person never really changes or atones for their past behavior. I feel like the trope subtly normalizes toxic/abusive traits in a partner. It just makes me sick to watch. A perfect example of how horrible this trope is are the two chicks from The Wild on Amazon Prime. The one girl HATED the blonde chick for no apparent reason and never missed an opportunity to belittle, insult, and ridicule her. Then all of a sudden they hummpin’ in the wood?! WTF? It’s a dumb, lazy, and dangerous trope.
    Rant over. Lol

      Absolutely! People seem to think that any quirky girl who stands across from a bland guy is a manic pixie dream girl? But the most important part of the trope is that she is entirely two dimensional and her sole purpose is to serve the male character (typically by teaching him how to have fun and be less bland) and once her purpose is fulfilled she is thrown to the side.
      And yes! Pop culture Detective’s video on born sexy yesterday is such a good watch!

      Totally! I didn't follow this as well in the presentation of the trope in the video. I also think Jessica, Natasha Lyonne's character in 'American Pie'. I remember watching it when it came out, yes older millennial here, and thinking she was such a cool character, but never had any real character development in the movie (like so many of the female characters). I'm glad Natasha Lyonne got her flowers later on with 'Orange is the new black', and 'Russian Doll'. I actually enjoyed 'Garden State', but can totally see your point.

      @@alexschofield8085 I don’t know why this comment made me think of the film version of Genny Wisely. Like what is it called then the main girl is completely one dimensional without a drop of personality and does nothing to serve the male lead or move the plot in away? Lol. I think it was your use of the word “bland”. Normally, in a hero’s journey we get characters like home girl from Deadpool 1. That girl worth fighting for or a love to avenge. But with Genny, the scenes with just her and Harry, after Chamber, could have been edited out and the story would barely change (only the Room of Requirement in 6 when they hid the book). That pisses me off in different, but similar way to the MPD trope. And even if they followed the books more closely she good have at least fallen under the “Cool Girl” trope. Why is it so hard to write a normal ass female? They are either a fantasy or plain yogurt at room temperature. **Sigh**

    the sun/moon trope and black cat/golden retriever trope are actually two separate tropes (although they often have the same characters)!
    sun/moon trope originated in queer cartoon fandoms where the sun character was often more heroic, charismatic and well-liked or just generally more outspoken and extroverted (think ruby from steven universe, adora from she-ra, luz from the owl house, korra from tlok, etc.). the moon character was often more calm and introverted and typically had some kind of tragic backstory, villainous streak and/or redemption arc (think sapphire from steven universe, catra from she-ra, amity from the owl house, asami from tlok, etc.). it's essentially an evolution of the red/blue gays trope.
    on the other end, the black cat/golden retriever trope is more of an evolution of the grumpy/sunshine trope that developed from adult straight romance novels. typically, the men were grumpy, jaded and reclusive and saved by these kind, bubbly and optimistic women in this trope, but it's changed a lot in recent years. it's honestly taken over most romance-adjacent genres and tv/movie content since it can be used so widely.
    i think recently these two tropes are pretty similar and honestly the lines between them have gotten really blurred. sun/moon isn't just for queer couples just as grumpy/sunshine isn't just for straight couples so it's kinda interesting to see how we see these tropes now (especially since they're adapting SO FAST).

    One troupe that I have mixed feelings troupe is the rebound trope. Essentially it’s when the main character’s love interest did something wrong or the main character did something wrong so they split up so a throw away character comes in to give the mc a different experience.
    I mean sometimes it’s done right, like young royals, (I love that show) but most of the time it’s just done wrong just for the mc and love interest to get back together in the next season. 🤷🏼‍♀️

    My issue with the loss of innocence trope is that they show the characters emphasizing their first time should be special and with someone they love for like most of the show, and how they love their partner and want it to be so special, but then they lose it to someone else for no special reason. I’m showing my age here (35), but I’m thinking of Brianna in One-on-One, and Blair in Gossip Girl. I’m not saying that losing your v-card to someone not special or special is the issue, it’s just that going from it must be special to it not being special without any reflection on the decision is the problem in the execution of the trope.

  • @seducedbysasquatch
    @seducedbysasquatch Год назад +7

    Loss of innocence can be really good when it's used in genres like horror, psychological horror, etc. you have a character that is innocent and happy and loves life, then something tragic occurs (a family death, a zombie apocalypse...) and seeing those good aspects of their personality crumble can be so fascinating. I also do think it works well when discussing SA or r*pe in a show as well. It shows someone who had trust in others around them, and then after that traumatic incident, they lose all trust in those around them.
