I think the title is pretty well says it. What are the stereotypes and story devices used in fiction of any variety including film, television, writing, ect that you find to be annoying?
I have been watching the first season of the show Fringe and it has reminded me of just how much screams annoy me. It seems that the writers think any woman exposed to something strange and ghastly is likely to scream hysterically... sorry, likely is probably too soft. Commanded by their very biological nature is probably more accurate. Ladies? What do you think?
While thinking on the subject I also noted that the "token black guy" is sort of annoying too (not in reference to Fringe). Watching a movie or tv show with an all white cast except for that one black guy who really adds nothing to the story, you never even learn much of anything about, and is obviously just thrown in for colour really kinda bothers me.
So how about the rest of you?
