Fictional Tropes I’m Tired Of: A List

• Shit-ass reporter trying to make terrible things happen so they’ll have something to report
• “Tracker” character looks at ground, immediately deduces everything that happened in that area for the last three weeks
• Not Like Other Girls
• Killing the scrappy to make me feel sad
• Minor Character Of Color Saves White Hero At Cost Of Own Life
• Weirdly religious cowboy villain (it was fine in 3:10 to Yuma, but please let’s stop)
• Grizzled, stoic, totally boring guy gets redemption arc at expense of anyone else’s character development
• The Marketing: “This property is all about WOMEN!”
  The Property Itself: *is mostly about dudes!*

Percentage of these tropes present in Godless: 100%.

How much of the show I watched anyway: 100%.

Personal shame meter: 50%.
