Over-used movie clichés that make you cringe.

So because they use technology that helps make something easier to present, it makes them cliché?

Sounds to me like you just have an animation preference, and while I like the stuff you say you prefer, they have their faults too.

Try making Iron Man without CG, I doubt it would be anywhere near as good.

Iron Man is best in 2D, not moving, with text boxes.

Boy meets girl. Boy and girl bond strongly. Hidden secret comes out which seperates boy and girl temporarily. Boy/girl (usually boy) makes some large gesture in public to prove how he/she really feels. Boy and girl live happily ever after.

HOW many times has this played out with only very minor variations?

Or the "manly" movie version:

Opening of fight scene with protagonist kicking ass. Gradual filling in with weak plot. More fight scenes and pointless explosions (one liners optional). A woman takes off her clothes. Protagonist suffers large defeat (possibly involving a betrayal and/or a father figure getting killed). Protagonist gets angry and defeats all enemies.


Very little in terms of cinema or television entertains me in even the slightest way anymore.

That's Romeo and Juliet; it's the same thing...I'm talking about your first paragraph; Shakespeare coined all romance, so now everything was based on a play that involved the fine arts of today, or as my Literature teacher described it: "Blood, guts, gore, and sex." And as for the second cliche I agree totally, too many movies these days generally involve someone finding some kind of power within and it gets really annoying.

That 90% of women in action movies are either Mary Sue Untouchable or don't fight because violence against women is bad, most of the time they seem to be there solely to keep people from the obvious gay jokes.

Huh. The version of Romeo and Juliet I've experienced most certainly did not include them living happily ever after (omg spoiler alert!)

Maybe I got my hands on a director's cut or something

Bravo.
