TV Tropes belongs up there with CinemaSins as ruining a decade of media analysis because it also boils down often complex narratives, scenes, and deliberate artistic choices into a bingo card of prescriptive terms and shoehorned "gotchas" designed to make you feel clever.

It's barely even "training wheels" for media analysis when it gives you a bunch of thought-terminating cliches on interpreting films, books, or tv shows.

And also, I never said calling something a "trope" is bad. But not everything is a trope and it's frustrating to see it be shoehorned into anything someone observes in a film. Just judge a work in it's own context.

YES IT IS THAT'S CALLED "READING SOMETHING CRITICALLY" AND IT'S A DYING AND VITAL SKILL
-
But it's not critical. It's thought terminating and a juvenile interpretation of criticism

...Except that I don't think that's what Tv Tropes is doing. At least that's not what I use it for. It's not about "compartmentalize into tiny predisgestible units", at worst what tropes do is compare lots of different things under a similar label.

When I read TV Tropes, it's to remind myself as to why I love certain works of art, to remember the feelings it made me feel and see if many people felt the same way. That's what the Tearjerker/NightmareFuel/etc do for me. It's just not comparable to CinemaSins in any way.

Let's agree to disagree. I think reading about tropes was fun. I usually watch a movie or a tv show and enjoy reading its tvtropes entry.

I know lots of people do this, but it's hard for me to fathom. What is the benefit of watching a film and then saying, "I wonder what other works of fiction include meaningless and incidental similarities to this one?"

I feel weird about you telling me how to... enjoy media. Clumsy reduction is only one part of how I enjoy media. Since high and low brow comedy both have their places I think refined and clumsy analysis/reduction can both have their places in pop culture.

I'm not telling you how to enjoy media I'm giving my opinion on something I think makes people look at media in a less comprehensive way
