So it's hard to make a movie completely original, but I wonder that some people make the movies "cliche-drive" on purpose. This definitely applies to the Idea Wiki. Not only is this going to be a very rage-filled list, but it's also to inform the people reading this list that if the movie has something in the criteria (or in this case, "particle") it should be toned down to a low form of unoriginality. Also keep in mind that just because an Idea Wiki movie has a cliche plotline doesn't automatically make it bad. It depends on how much thought and effort was put onto it. And I'm not trying to insult any users, but the movies that contain the cliches from the users is what I'm gonna be covering up. Don't take this as a hate list, take it as an informative list to copy off and make sure a movie doesn't contain any of these things. So, without further a do, here are my Top 7 Least Favorite Cliches on Idea Wiki movies.

7. Male main protagonists being total wimps (Notable examples: Pokemon Sun & Moon: The Movie, ROBLOX: The Movie, Eric Animations: The First Ultimate Epic Movie, The Loud House Movie, etc.)

To begin our list, whether a character is defenseless while being bullied, totally scared about NOTHING, or just flat-out whiny all the time, during the beginning of time men were considered to be very strong and brave, but that TOTALLY does not apply to Idea Wiki Movies. They keep up the stereotypical "oh God" behavior with their stupid whining like "SOMEBODY HELP ME WHEN I'M IN A CRAPPY SITUATION!" or stuff like that. It just proves how baby-ish media men can be. And this cliche is sometimes followed by this:

6. Female supporting protagonist who feel bad for the male main protagonist and defend them when they can CLEARLY defend themselves (Notable examples: Pokemon Sun & Moon: The Movie, ROBLOX: The Movie, etc.)

Ever heard of the phrase "a damsel in distress"? Well, that only exists in Disney movies. Very few Idea Wiki movies contain this cliche, but it's REALLY annoying how dependant male main protagonists can be. There's only one character and very few movies that contain this, like I said, but it's annoying enough to be on this list.

5. Random/pointless romance subplots (Notable examples: Crush Crush: The Movie (an example of random), Toby Fox's Undertale (an example of pointless), Pokemon Sun & Moon: The Movie (an example of both), etc, but there are MANY MORE than just three, trust me.)

Ever hate it when people ship something fpr no apparent reason? Like Surly and Andie from The Nut Job? Well, sadly, this Wiki is full of it. The funny thing is that this is often implied throughout the entire movie, like Cassie and Marshmallow from Crush Crush: The Movie. And let's not forget the initial concept to The Loud House Movie. If you want to make your movie a romance movie that's TOTALLY fine, but if it's intended to be anything else, then WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT?

4. The main antagonist intending to be hatable but actually isn't the most hatable character in the movie(Notable examples: ROBLOX: The Movie, Pokemon Sun & Moon: The Movie, The Story of The Face Paint, Eric Animations: The First Ultimate Epic Movie, Overwatch, there's just too many to name)

If you want your villain to be a very unlikable and despicable character, then WHY do some of your other characters have to be EVEN WORSE? That's doubly insulting! Most movies that feature bullying have this issue (the most common form), along with some movies having the main protagonist being total jerks. And they somehow get away with it because Idea Wiki viewers wouldn't care nonetheless and regardless.

3. Nearly EVERY movie on this Wiki is either an adaption, a sequel, a remake or a prequel (Too many to list)

Unless you count movies like The Story of The Face Paint (which is an original movie), almost ANYTHING on this Wiki is based off of something, whether if it's a movie, a TV series, a video game, a book, THEY ALL FIND A WAY TO MAKE SOMETHING WORK. And the sad thing is that barely ANYONE thinks of considering original creations.

2. Movies on this Wiki that will soon be released or are already released (Notable examples: The Loud House Movie, One Piece: The Movie [there's about a trillion of them already], etc.)

This seems to only bother me, but I HATE it when there's a movie on this Wiki is real. Then it's just not an idea. It's a thing, the opposite of an idea. The whole point of the Idea Wiki is to express your ideas and claim it as yours for people to enjoy and say, "Hey! That SHOULD be a real movie!". (Key word: should) Not a place for movies to be featured that are ACTUALLY COMING OUT!

1. Idea Wiki movie POSTERS

Unless you get it done right (especially on Overwatch), posters on Idea Wiki end up looking like total GARBAGE! They look so obvious and cheap and stupid and it just leaves NOTHING new to the imagination, similar to number 2. And there are often times where I would CRINGE at these posters. Now, the more popular pages like ROBLOX: The Movie and The Loud House Movie have decent posters, but pages like Crush Crush: The Movie have HORRIBLE posters! No offense to the creators, but the pages themselves.

So there you have it. The 7 worst cliches on the Idea Wiki. Please read this list before making a page so you can understand the dangers of unoriginal and generic writing.
