Paranormal Activity

Tropes

Sci-fi and occult dramas became so pervasive in the wake of Buffy&#39;s success they&#39;re not even a&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-supernatural-drama-tv-shows/reference">guilty</a><a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-supernatural-drama-tv-shows/reference"> pleasure</a>&nbsp;anymore, just mainstream entertainment with a nerd slant. Whether you&nbsp;tune&nbsp;in to paranormal thrillers like Lucifer, Grimm, or Sleepy Hollow, or are doing your&nbsp;annual marathon of favorite DVD box sets like&nbsp;Buffy, Angel, or Charmed, you&#39;ll notice&nbsp;there are things every supernatural show does, points at which the&nbsp;narrative&nbsp;gets predictable. As loveable as the&nbsp;genre is, it&#39;s filled repetitive themes in need of a switch-up. Here&nbsp;you&#39;ll find a host of tropes that are way overused in sci-fi and fantasy. Dear show runners, like, seriously, as fans, not haters,&nbsp;can we stop using these tropes now?

Unlike deathfests such as&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/walking-dead-deaths/lisa-waugh">The Walking Dead</a> or <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/most-satisfying-game-of-thrones-deaths/ranker-tv">Game of Thrones</a>, supernatural dramas don&#39;t traffic in the veneration of cruelty. Fans of the likes of Heroes&nbsp;aren&#39;t&nbsp;subjected to a litany of favorite-character deaths or forced into situations in which&nbsp;heavy choices must be made,&nbsp;at least not until the end of the show&#39;s run. It&rsquo;s a genre you&nbsp;can&nbsp;consider&nbsp;safe, the fans of which viewers&nbsp;get their jollies without being emotionally destroyed. That said, your patience might be shredded;&nbsp;the&nbsp;genre is plagued with familiar tropes and <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/sitcom-fan-service-moments/erin-cody" target="_blank">obvious fan service</a>.

Ah, but, counter argument: tropes are (perhaps a very large) part of why audiences love these shows. The comfort of the familiar, the epic journey of the hero, the satisfaction of seeing obstacles overcome and lessons learned.

Futurama

There are a lot of words that can be used to describe Dr. John A. Zoidberg: Decapodian, Earthling, physician, savior, scapegoat, genius,&nbsp;moron. No matter what hat he wears, <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/9-saddest-futurama-episodes-that-made-you-cry/chris-abraham">Dr. Zoidberg on Futurama</a> never fails to add to the chaos of Planet Express. Whenever we least expect it, Zoidberg always manages to surprise us, whether it's with a bizarre anecdote about his past, his surprising aggressive tendencies when backed into a corner, or the&nbsp;revelation of another organ or appendage no one knew he had.The exploits of the beloved (by fans, not so much his colleagues) yet supremely underqualified&nbsp;crustacean doctor during his travels with the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/smart-futurama-jokes/liam-ross">Planet Express delivery crew never fail to provide a laugh</a>. Here are the best Zoidberg moments on Futurama.

Anime Underground

Over the years, anime seemed to have become an unchanging genre of rinsing, washing, and repeating plots involving <a href="http://ww.ranker.com/list/baffling-anime-hairstyles/jacobybancroft">crazy-haired dudes</a>, way-too-young girls in maid costumes, cute talking animal gimmicks, overly long adventures of neverending fights and trump cards, and redundant tropes that have worn all too thin. In decades past, anime was&nbsp;revered as a genre that set itself apart from other animated works for its capacity to explore the depths of imagination and human emotion. That all seemed lost, until 2016.&nbsp;In 2016 anime, we've witnessed a much-needed revitalization with new innovative series and films, many even&nbsp;hearkening back to the old-school style and&nbsp;reminding us all why we got sucked in the first place. 2016 is the year anime was reborn. The best anime of 2016 can easily rival the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-anime-series-all-time">best anime series of all time</a>,&nbsp;and this new&nbsp;renaissance brings even more hope for the future. Vote up the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-popular-anime-year-you-were-born/anna-lindwasser?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best anime of the year</a>, including the best anime series of 2016 and the best anime movies of 2016.

Looking closer at the actors who have played cold-blooded bad guys—and totally nailed it.

Playing the Villain

Entertainment

Bad actors have <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/worst-living-a-list-hollywood-actors">ruined plenty of films</a>. This is especially true in the superhero genre, where&nbsp;taking on the role of a classic <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/comic-book-villains-that-deserve-a-better-movie/tyler-mitchell" target="_blank">Marvel or DC villain</a> can really challenge some actors. Classic examples&nbsp;include&nbsp;Topher Grace as Venom, Peter Sarsgaard&nbsp;as Hector Hammond, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, king of the one-liner,&nbsp;as Mr. Freeze.

Sometimes <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/worst-cgi-villains-superhero-movies/samantha-dillinger" target="_blank">bad CGI is to blame</a> for bad villains. But terrible acting plays a part too.&nbsp;Regardless of how good they are in other films, all the actors on this list&nbsp;are guilty of some really bad comic book movie acting. For some, it&#39;s how they fail to add depth to a character. Others were cast poorly and simply didn&#39;t have the right body types to bring bulky villains to life. Still others were the victims of poor directing, <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/worst-comic-book-movie-super-villain-costumes/jtdesaulnier">bad wardrobe choices,</a>&nbsp;or horrible writing, and their performances suffered as a result.

DC Comics

The CW has had much success with their&nbsp;TV shows adapted from DC Comics,&nbsp;Arrow, The Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow.&nbsp;They also took over Supergirl from CBS. While their unique take on the classic heroes has been very interesting thus far (at least interesting enough to clue non-comic book fans in on the hype) avid comic book readers notice a lot of stark differences between DC Comics and CW shows.This list breaks down the big differences between the CW’s versions of our beloved heroes and the comics. And, hopefully, it'll inspire any non-comic book fans out there to pick up a few at some point in the near future for some good reads.

1960s

Some call Batman, the live-action TV series that premiered in 1966, one of the greatest television series of all time; they claim it placed <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/batman-and-robin-behind-the-scenes-nightmare/jacob-shelton?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Batman and Robin</a> on the map. But another, much louder contingent&nbsp;considers it a travesty to the source materials. Here's the thing, though: there are a lot of reasons&nbsp;why&nbsp;the&nbsp;original&nbsp;Batman&nbsp;series&nbsp;was groundbreaking. In fact,&nbsp;the&nbsp;old&nbsp;Batman&nbsp;series&nbsp;was&nbsp;ahead&nbsp;of the&nbsp;times.Whenever the Batman TV show is brought up, we’re immediately struck with memories of bright colors, searing campiness, in-your-face onomatopoeia title cards, and the Boy Wonder hollering,&nbsp;“Holy [adjective][noun] Batman!” We’re often quick to dismiss the show as a lighthearted comedic&nbsp;romp, but there were a number of things at play that, in retrospect, can be recognized as being ahead of the game. Here are some&nbsp;progressive&nbsp;moments&nbsp;from&nbsp;the original&nbsp;Batman&nbsp;series.

Game Is Life

The crossover combination of legalities and video games isn’t anything new - gaming lawsuits happen all the time. Take for example, people like Patrice D&eacute;silets, who&nbsp;have struggled to wrestle&nbsp;back the rights to their&nbsp;games - in his case he had to rescue&nbsp;1666: Amsterdam from the clutches of Ubisoft, after they wrongfully terminated him. In the world of video games, lawsuits are pretty common as people fight for ownership, censorship, and more. Of course, not every lawsuit makes sense - and some are downright silly.&nbsp;It’s important to know when and how to pick your battles when taking the fight to judicial arenas. And over the years, much like non-gaming related legal fisticuffs, what we find betwixt are cases of individuals and parties alike who abuse the judicial system for the pettiest, and sometimes hilarious, of reasons. Whether these lawsuits by gamers are justified or not, they make for interesting reading.&nbsp;Get ready to chuckle and strain your neck with constant head shaking, these are the most ridiculous lawsuits in gaming.&nbsp;
