There wouldn't be much of a plot or any suspense if they all stayed together

It's fine. We need to separate the hormonal jocks and their GFs in order that they can be dispatched as quickly as possible in order to get the story going.

If this picture shows the »Terminator«, a haunted past is rather ironic, because actually he's hunting in the past...🤷🏽

eh its not cringe, just overdone but sadly theres no such option

I’ll take that one step further: Perfectly nice woman falls in love with him and suddenly he sell the motorcycle and becomes a 100% responsible adult, great husband, and wonderful father. NOT the reality of him never growing up, leading her a dog’s life, and being an all-around p**s-poor husband.

It's also unrealistic - given the nature of massive explosions, it'd launch the hero into stratosphere and burn him to a crisp.

Depends on who or what got blown up.

okay but like, the point of watching a movie is to get an escape from reality, so I mean, walking away from an explosion, yeah, it's not realistic, but it looks cool and that's the point

Let's subvert "fridging" by making the wife/GF alive. Imagine the brooding, badass hero having conversation like: "I'm doing all of this for only one reason... my wife." "You lost a wife? I'm so sorry." "Nope, she's at home waiting for me, I just love her very much, y'know"

Just because she’s doomed, doesn’t mean she’s sweet and good. Every once in a while they should make the doomed wife an annoying bîtçh.

Movies are too short to spend time while they try for ages.

Complete with inch tall text and classy breaking-in animations. In reality, your $ prompt becomes a # and you can fiddle with important stuff.

Enemies to lovers is always annoying- no basis for a long term relationship. If he drove you nuts before, he's going to continue to annoy you.

You couldn’t do it in most modern airports. It takes forever to get through security….and you have to have a boarding pass to get through security.

Many soap operas evolve around staring contests between two characters with dramatic back tune (and “remembering” events from past (episodes), when you have to fill in a newer episode).

The trope name is "Meet Cute".

Batteries DO have the unfortunate habit of dying in worst possible moment though.

I mean, s**t happens - I actually have the bad luck that this happens quite often to me

The sounds of footsteps in the attic? You have a vivid imagination, this is an old house, the pipes are just old and pathetic. The figure behind the window? Nonsense, the moon is just creating shadows from the tree branches. The missing knife from the rack? Oh, honey, it must be in the dishwasher.

At the point when the character's glow-up involves removing glasses, I take mine off too because I've seen enough.

Listen, all the awkward and unattractive kids in high school somehow manage to have a 100% glow up by their 10th Reunion. Not because of extreme cosmetic surgery, but simply because they finally finished growing up, learned about clothes (and makeup), found their personal style that suits them, and are completely comfortable in their own skin—-and it shows.

And the eternal: “You and me, we are alike/the same”, said by usually a homicidal, child-eating sadistic maniac to a flower loving hero and a father of five.

Mostly the strange noises I hear are my stomach telling me it's snack-o-clock.

Then walking around shouting "Hello" when you think there's an intruder. Now they know where you are.

Especially the "makeover montage" where they take a cute, quirky girl and turn her into boring, conventionally attractive diva (looking at you Princess Diaries).

19 of the 20 wait patiently (okay, maybe scowling and trying really hard to look mean) while the first guy gets beaten up. Because, y'know, that's realistic in a fight.

But the fat, 80 year old villain will have a 10 minute hand-to-hand duel with the hero and beats him up to near death before being defeated through some Deus ex machina magic

One at a time please !

INCONCEIVABLE!!

German TV show "Alarm for Cobra 11" - A pebble hits the rim and every car in a radius of 150m will explode in a chain reaction leaving behind a mushroom cloud before the fictional highway police (and not the GSG9) stops a bioweapon wielding terrorist that can easily k**l off all of Europe. No guessing needed why we aren't famous for our shows.....

How about one falling and the other grabbing the first person’s hand while holding on with one hand on to some ledge.

I'm very happy when that one gets ki.lled.

I quit watching a movie just the other day because of that. All kinds of screaming and not a person in the shot doing the screaming.

To be fair they toned down the manic pixie girl roles dramatically in Hollywood. Not totally gone but at least not every lead in any romantic role.

Somehow Palpatine returned.....

I can assure you that if you want a guy who's a genuine bookworm / nerd, he's not gonna look like Chris Hemsworth. Those "BookTok" girlies who post pictures of hot, ripped, shirtless men in glasses holding a book like "I love men who read so much 😍" are in for a big disappointment 😅

Well, should we watch the construction work afterwards too? Edit: Maybe it would make a good sequel... Spiderman: The Reconstruction - 2 hours of construction workers complaining about the stupid superheroes.

Oh, why not? Let people dream a little, willya?

Depends on the outfits 😮
