On the other side of this, the cliche of “Simple misunderstanding we could have resolved if one party hadn’t said “I don’t NEED to hear your explanation!” before storming off” can fuck right off and die.
Gotta love the “this season wouldn’t have even happened if everyone had been upfront and honest with each other.”
Ahhh yes, the old idiot plot. Where would we even be as a culture without it
All scripts of Shakespeare’s comedy category that I’ve read are idiot plots. The characters constantly explain to the audience, but never to each other. It enables all the hijinks to unfold. So, it’s been around at least that long.
For example, twins separated at birth. If the twins in the Comedy of Errors explained who they were, or if the cast once questioned either of them on their strangeness, everything could be clarified.
It extends to outside comedies, even the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet could have been avoided if Romeo had confirmed Juliet and Friar’s plan, or had checked to see if she was still alive before offing himself.
There’s a psych-thriller on Netflix called Bloodlines which I thought made a point of not using this trope. There’s a character who for half a season listens to everyone, does what they tell them to, tries to make things work in a dysfunctional environment, and falls back into old habits because no one trusts him when anything goes wrong. Its a show filled with very human interactions, almost like the writers asked “what would actual people do” in every scenario, but also push the plot along.
Highly recommend it because this shit annoys me.
While enjoy the occasional anime, I don’t get how some people can watch so many of it. It’s literally the same characters and tropes over and over again.
It’s a process of finding diamonds in the shit, to be sure. The genre is so saturated too. The heavy watchers I know are just at a point where they enjoy the garbage because watching garbage can be funny. I hate feeling like my time is being stolen though

Authors trying not to write a child to be a moron, getting the adults and themselves in danger and inevitably resulting into on of their deaths [challenge impossible]
Can you imagine? Fucking Shakespeare I mean. I wonder if his dirty talk was in iambic pentameter too…
It could also be “individuals” or “groups” doing stuff in a “universe”?
hello lemmy, please watch care of kancharapalem.
the less i tell you about it, the better. it is a very, very good movie experience because of the story, a story built on a house of cards that i don’t want anyone knocking over before you see it, trigger warning there is 1 suicide
I’ve watched Goncharov, is it something like that?
hey I’m going to be real with you right now. If you take the time to watch this film you will be deeply rewarded. i literally can’t tell you why without fucking it up
