#QuestionOfTheDay what's a common thing in media (mechanic in a game, plot point, stage design, character type, trope, filmmaking technique/shot, writing style, etc etc etc) that you don't necessarily dislike but you hate when it's used unnecessarily/inappropriately/too often/etc

@ami_angelwings Setting a very large scale or scope to the setting for a story. It's not inherently more exciting when the fate of the galaxy is at stake than when the fate of the village is at stake, and it's a lot easier to keep a balance between the intimate and the public when the scale is smaller.

@foolishowl @ami_angelwings I would like to cosign this response. Even if the conflict going on *in the world* of the story is huge, the stakes for the *story itself* should be more manageable, and I feel like that idea has been rejected by most movie-and-show-makers.
