Bad Guys Wear Black
In the never ending battle between good and evil the bad guys are all taking fashion cues from Goth kids in the Midwest. At least it can't clash with anything. |
|
|
Black Guys Always Die
One of the rare exceptions. Steve Rogers best friend dies, and the black guy survives. There might be a sequel though, so... |
|
|
Blue Juice
While in reality, most poisons are translucent and most liquid chemicals are simply solutes, in most movies antidotes, poisons and any other sort of "science related" liquids are color coded. |
|
|
Cliffhanger Ending

|
|

|
|
Fatal Family Photo
Inverted. Cap looks at a picture of Peggy as the doomed ship he's on crashes. Although he survives, seventy years have passed when he wakes and Peggy is either dead, or very, very old by now. |
|
Getting Drunk is Harmless
Science says it is really, really bad for you; but movies say getting drunk is perfectly fine. |
|
|
|
God Complex
A character with a God complex has intense feelings of superiority and megalomania. They believe they are above the law, and feel they have the right to become judge and jury, "punishing" those who do not line up with their visions accordingly. |
|
|
Heroic Sacrifice
A Heroic Sacrifice is when a character makes a sacrifice for the benefit and well-being of others. This is quite possibly the most prevalent cliche in cinema today. |
|
|
Ignoring Orders To "Do The Right Thing"
In which soldiers, police officers, or someone in another kind of strict hierarchical organization is given explicit orders from a superior, only to ignore, disobey, or explicitly rebel against those orders because they believe that following them would be wrong. |
|
|
"It's Not What It Looks Like!"

|
|
Lady in Red
Peggy wears one. |
|
|
Love Interests are Allergic to Sequels
Peggy. |
|
|
Male Bonding Time = Getting Drunk

|
|
One Man Army
The hero can take out a whole army alone. |
|
|
Presumed Dead
We all remember "those" parts of movies where someone falls off of a bridge or something equally horrific and everyone assumes that the person is died, yet they come back later. |
|
|
Rude Awakening
At the start of the film, the protagonist wakes up in a hospital bed or laboratory to find the world has drastically changed since they were last conscious. |
|
|
Running Through The City At The End Of The Movie
Sometimes you're trying to get the girl, sometimes it's just to get some existential angst out of your system. Either way, you need to get your running through the city on! |
|
|
Science Experiment Gone Horribly Wrong
Red Skull turns into a red monstrosity obsessed with power. |
|
|
Shirtless!
Cool guys have muscles and they just love to show them off. The only way to do that is to take off their shirts and flex. These are the films that help them do that. |
|
|
The Chosen One
Some normal person intended for GREATNESS! For he is the chosen one! |
|
|
The Eye Scar
Nick Fury has some faint eye scars. |
|
|
The Womanizing Best Friend
At the bar, office, wedding and funeral this guy can't help but chase tail like a borderline sex criminal. This usually works out well for the main character who comes off looking very good in comparison. Nothing says 'love' more than a woman who thinks "well, at least I'm not with this guy's friend." Entourage, Nip/Tuck, How I Met Your Mother |

|
Unlikely Hero
The skinny Steve Rogers turns into the strong Captain America. |
