Author Topic: Things common in fiction you dislike  (Read 3260 times)



Oh yeah, I can buy Humanoids, for the most part.
Just not the ones which look exactly like Humans, and have godlike powers to boot (unless in the case of Doctor Who, we were made to look like them):





(Sorry Superman)

When a douchebag/bitch is OP   (examples: Sarah from ed edd n eddy, Gaz from Invader Zim)

overused plasma weapons

undestructible/unkillable protagonists/antagonists

"The chosen one"

the best decisions/weapons/vehicles/etc that the protagonists could take but they take the most difficult and stuffty one

But it's fine that white protagonists are over saturated?
No? But a white protagonist isn't inherently bad.

The correct thing to do would be to implement non-white protagonists (which we have a lot of, just need more) but not count having a white protagonist as a black mark against the work of fiction.

Tbh, we shouldn't care what race the protagonist of a work of fiction is anyways, as the race of a main character doesn't have an impact on the work they appear in's quality.

Tldr: It would be nice to have diversity, but a white protagonist should not count against the quality of a work of fiction.

Smart but weak and strong but stupid stereotypes

The antagonist doing one bad thing and all the characters hating him forever for it
especially when he does it by accident/shows remorse
