What’s the most annoying trope in books or movies?

I can’t stand this word. It’s overused, much like iconic, and they are both used frivolously and, in my opinion, not as intended. Seeing a word used repeatedly dulls its shine. Trope usage should not be common place, and iconic is only iconic if we stop using iconic so much. Internet culture strikes again.

As for answering the prompt, I can’t get past the word to answer it. The word itself has become a trope.

Ugh.
