#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 On fantasy and sci-fi series, the episode in which the characters wake up in a mental institution and all the fucking episode is like "no you did not have superpowers, it was all in your imagination". That was fun the first five times or so but can scriptwriters please stop. The only exception: Stargate Atlantis SE03E06 when Dr. Weir is drawing cards and suddenly all of them are the Stargate Glyphs, marking the shattering of the illusion.
