    When there's a culture mix and the Black character or non white character does something that makes the white character uncomfortable. Gotta keep these folk on their toes. Never want them being that comfortable round me

    But seriously I got a few

    When the best way to win is to not fight

    "Son becoming the father"

    When a character is so prideful it kills him

    Cop/detective who has to become something that makes him unable to be a part of the society he is protecting

    Protag and antag showdown in rain or everything is on fire

    Gundam does this a few times but I love a "re-entry" fight.

    When a character refuses to engage/interact with a main character and their plans, leaves the room, only to be told something by the MC that cause them to freeze in the middle of the doorway and reconsider

    Most involving dreams.

    Character has to choose between dream and reality

    Character enters another characters mind for information or to solve an issue

    Is it a dream or reality

    The visualization of a character’s mind

    The dreamscape and reality interact with and affect each other

    I don’t really like the straightforward “it was all a dream” ending though

    I also like massive unreliable narrator games. (See Mr. Robot S2.)

    when the protagonist walks into a room and there’s someone sitting facing away in a swivel chair they turn to reveal who they are. classic

    along the lines of the pride one, i personally love when a character is so prideful it kills all those around him. like pure selfishness leads to the deaths of those they love. true fatal flaw

    when the guy gets the girl

    sometimes i like when the guy doesn't get the girl depending on the context

    like niggas kill me for saying aang shouldn't have gotten to hook up with katara at the end of Avatar, but narratively I think it would have been more apt.

    Mr. Robot is an amazing show. S3 and 4 cemented it as goat tier television
