#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 Long gaps between checkpoints. That can be interesting when the game is about resource and risk management, but having to retry long segments in other kinds of games is just annoying.

Doubly so with tanky multistage bosses. I like those in the right context, but most of the time they're just frustrating.
