Annoying TV/Movie Tropes

It sure was thoughtful that Thanos waited for the rest of the Avengers to show up in the final battle scene in "End Game."
That one I kinda get actually but agree it’s wild especially in some of the John wick or other action movies.
LOTR is my favorite film trilogy of all time but there are a couple scenes where this is extremely noticeable and it is a little immersion breaking
Although, in The Dark Knight, when Bane waited his turn and broke Batman's back, that scene was pretty bad-ass.....even if his voice sounded like an early Bond villain.

The Bane voice might be one of my favorite movie "quotes"(?) of all time. It's not really a quote, but it's in that vein. It's SO odd.
I use the Bane voice to talk to my children. "Do you feel in charge?"
I use it at work. "You merely adopted Microsoft 365 infrastructure. I was BORN in it!"
I talk to my dogs in the Bane voice. "Now is not the time for treats. That comes later!"
I should send Tom Hardy a thank you note for all of the joy he's given me.
LOL. My wife and I saw it in a theater with another couple. When he spoke, my buddy and I (bookending the four of us) both did that "slow lean forward and look at each other" move at the exact same time.
And yeah, I've found plenty of use for that voice since then as well.
90% of TV ads cater to women. Especially married women. Women like to make fun of their husbands. It makes sense actually.
Little House on the Prarie was supposed to take place in Minnesota so they chose the closest looking setting to Minnesota. Southern California.
The TV series is probably misnamed because it is called Little House on the Prairie but Carrie Ingalls - the younger sister was born in Kansas just before the family promptly moved back to Wisconsin and then to Minnesota. The Greenbush sisters who played the role together were around 5 years old which is just about the age Carrie was when they left Wisconsin again and settled in Walnut Grove, MN.
The first episode of the TV series is the family settling in Walnut Grove. I suppose they could have called it On the Banks of Plum Creek which was the novel covering their time in Walnut Grove, but that wasn't as famous of a title for the series name.
Good catch.... they also had light bulbs on in their huts.... electricity was not invented yet.
Cannot speak to the others in this list, but I know for Lasso they had already shot the originally ordered 10 episodes for Season 2, but with the popularity of Season 1, 2 additional episodes (Beard After Hours and Carol of the Bells) were ordered and shot later, hence the discontinuity with the rest of the season.
Watching a movie now and saw something that always seems wrong.
Somebody opens the car trunk and shoots the person in the trunk. Drives away...
In almost every sedan the gas tank is directly under the trunk, so the bullet(s) would go right through the dead guy and then through the gas tank and empty out in about 10 minutes, leaving them stranded.

I also get annoyed when a character walks into a room and no one is there, the character stands there for a second and the bad guy comes up from behind to grab them but apparently can walk so silently as to make zero noise at all while also completely managing to stay in their blind spot the entire time.
I am also getting tired of the Directors who use the "cool" new camera move to continuously circle the people talking. It's almost dizzying.
I prefer the old two/three/more shot of everyone together. Or where they jump back and forth between multiple cameras to the different characters as they speak.
