#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 time travel.
i really like time travel where there is only a single timeline, and that timeline never changes. history is already set in stone, but the time-traveling character was part of the history the while time. i think it takes a lot of creativity and thoughtfulness.
see: Cosmic Princess Kaguya, Kamisama Kiss, Genshin Impact, etc.
but if time travel instead creates an alternate timeline... sorry Doctor Who and Back to the Future! its not even that its confusing (although sometimes it is!), it just feels lazy to me?
maybe i just love single-timeline time travel so much that it gives multi-timeline time travel a bad taste, idk
