But here are some tropes that just need to be retired.

When drawn out, it can be more annoying to watch than anything else.

One such case shows up inInuYasha.

However, their potential romance is drawn on for the entire series160 episodes!

Their romance is clear as day early on, and viewers are forced to watch both characters act ignorant.

This is a trope that needs to be left behind as more innovative love stories are produced.

Oshi no Kois a popular anime that follows the reincarnation of Gorou Amamiya as famous popstar Ai’s son.

During her labor, he was murdered by an obsessive fan, and he was reborn as Aqua.

In general, its overused, overdone, and usually done poorly.

However, love at first sight is also terribly overdone, and the trope is now beyond exhusted.

But beyond being exhausted, it is also too cliche nowadays.

Viewers want more complex love stories, with enemies to lovers being an extremely popular trope.

Sakura is the first to fall for Sasuke.

Its time writers bag love at first sight.

Its a seriously funny trope.

But it is also way overused to the point its no longer funny.

It is too common, and the jokes are all the same.

Family Guyis one of those television shows where the dumb dad trope is way overplayed.

Lets retire the dumb dad trope and come up with something more original.

InJane the Virgin, Jane (Gina Rodriguez) is accidentally impregnated via insemination.

Love triangles need to be used sparingly.

Most importantly, when they are used, they shouldn’t overcomplicate the story.

Viewers should feel torn between both love interests.

Every relationship has complications and misunderstandings.

Communication is not always perfect either.

Whenever they have a heart-to-heart, their relationship becomes extremely wholesome.

This was the most frustrating trope seen inUncontrollably Fond, a popular K-drama starring Kim Woo-bin and Suzy Bae.

While tension is necessary in relationships to keep things exciting, accidental pregnancy is lazy work.

Either retire the trope or do something different with it.

Amnesia is the absolute worst trope in any film or media.

Unless the story is centered around it50 First Dates, for examplethen it does nothing but cause unnecessary angst.

It is a useless tool to cause emotional distress to viewers.

And the point of the amnesia?

1Beautiful All-Along

Thebeautiful all-alongtrope is another unnecessary trope that feels wrong and gives the ick.
