Things you're tired of seeing in movies

That can be problematic in historical pieces simply because language is in a constant state of change/modification. I'd much rather a movie that's set, say, in Medieval times (to use your example), primarily written in English, use modern forms of that language so the audience will readily understand what is being said rather than have them require a crash course in Medieval English to understand dialogue

the flipside of this is "the Tiffany Problem" where certain words, phases, items, ect. are older than most people think, so using them correctly would break immersion.

"Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate; rough winds do shake the darling buds of May. and summer’s lease hath all too short a date. Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines, and often is his gold complexion dimm'd, and every fair from fair sometime declines."

Nobody talked that way even when Bill S. wrote it. It's a sonnet!

True, but if I'd used a description like "Iambic Pentameter" to explain my point most of the members here would have had to take time to look that up, read it, understand it, then come back to reply...or not. At the time is seemed easier to give an example, even if it wasn't completely correct.

Movies where there's an alien invasion or something similar and the one scientist who has the tech to fight the aliens is a pacifist who refuses to help. Everyone else is like "Oh well, bye" and not "You're under arrest until you help us." At that point rights and laws would be out the window. You can die if you want, but not at the expense of the human race.

Any particular films you're thinking of?

I just wanna see less stereotyping in intense situations in general.


Naive curious scientists with no common sense - that's a bad one. Really overdone.

I wish more of those characters would say "It's amazing! We've discovered a fascinating alien species of predator! Now let's kill this thing before it takes over our brains and lays eggs in our butts."

I just watched 3 Body Problem and I was talking about Augie.

The latter is the whole reason, especially in 2024. In fact in 2024 if you see "Nudity" in the rating, it's most likely going to be some dude's butt.
