Oh yeah this Captain America was a good example of this, the military had been mostly segregated and to see African Americans and Asian American not in their “own” units took me right out of the film, not to mention Peggy Carter being a high rank in the military period…[/quote]
Yet it’s entirely in keeping with the source material, and faithful to Kirby & Lee’s work. The character Carter was based on was a rare high-ranking woman, and the Howling Commandos were a mixed race combat unit. So, sure, they could have changed that… but then they’d have been changing the source material simply to make more characters white. I’m perfectly fine with the producers having avoided that.

No Peggy was a spie and not high ranking at all, Sharon her niece/sister was an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D
I hate using the rain as a metaphor for baptism and renewal.
Like when a character runs down the middle of the street in the rain to get to his woman.
Or when a character goes through a very traumatic thing, and they come home and seem OK, then take a shower and that is when they collapse and cry. Fucking overdone and melodramatic.

Tell me about it!
One time I was in Thailand on the bus and there was a beautiful Thai girl and I kept thinking Don’t get a hard-on! Don’t get a hard-on! but she did.

Physicists, Biologists, Doctors, etc. being played by super hot women.
Action guys eating nothing but pizza and beer, but have sculpted physiques.
The only physical activity you ever see the ripped lead doing is jogging on their own treadmill or maybe doing pushups…but never hitting heavy squats in the gym or running some hill sprints.
Hip old people.
The right guy always waiting until the actual wedding ceremony between the girl and the wrong guy to pop in and reveal how he feels about her. Dude, do you know how fucking pissed the caterers, the guests, the dj, the families, etc. would be?!!..but no, they all applaud when she falls into the right guy’s arms.
Dumb one-liners that become overused in everyday life so people can show off how plugged in to pop culture they are by contributing nothing original to a conversation.

Agreed. Shawshank did this perfectly but its been duplicated way too much.

Another is using the game of chess as a metaphor for the events between the good guy and the bad guy. Overdone.
Especially when one of them actually fucking says “Checkmate,” at the end.[/quote]
I was just watching an episode of Seinfeld last night, and in it Jerry’s dick was playing a game of chess with his brain (he was battling himself over what he really wanted from his new girlfriend).
OMINOUS BLINKING LIGHT
Used in pretty much every horror movie to make perfectly normal rooms/hallways seem “creepy”. Why the hell is this supposed to be scary? In real life it just means that the lightbulb/contacts are bad. But in a movie there always seems to be a killer/zombie/mutilated corpse in the vicinity of the blinking light. I laugh every time I see it.
Wilhelm scream whenever someone dies and falls toward the camera. “URAAAAAAAAAAAAGH” scream whenever someone falls away from the camera.
Knives making a metallic scraping noise whenever they appear on the screen even tho there is absolutely nothing there for them to scrape against. Guess they have to cater to all the blind people watching.
Movies referencing superficial current events/fads that no one watching a few years later will get or give a fuck about.

Idiot humor in general. (I was about done with “The Hangover” 30 seconds in when I was supposed to be gafawing over the fact that Zach Galifianakis was in his underwear and hugging another guy. Hur hur) Speaking of…
Pointlessly uncomfortable scenes. (You just made us watch the drunk girl pull her gum out of the toilet after she threw up. Thank you.)
Whenever there’s a traffic jam there’s also a nice symphony of honking horns.
I grew up in Chicago and now spend alot of time driving around L.A. when I visit my gf, and not once have I heard a car honk their horn in bumper to bumper traffic.
