Worst Cliches in Films
Time

Superhero films would be improved a thousandfold if only they'd stop having each and every plot revolve around some large-scale, city-or-world spanning crisis. Smaller, low-key storylines have worked well for the comics, so why can't they work just as well for the movies? 

Why can't Batman just go after a gimmickless serial killer who stalks high school cheerleaders instead of some world-spanning terrorist organization trying to blow up Gotham? Why can't Spider-Man just try to help a poor woman escape prostitution and her abusive pimp instead of trading punches with Doctor Octopus or the Green Goblin? Why can't Superman just travel to some out-of-the-way town and put some corrupt oil tycoon and his thugs in their place instead of stopping rogue Kryptonians from conquering the planet? And the list goes on ...

I do have to say it would have been epic if he had been in Star Wars.

Yeah, I was holding out hope he'd get cast in one of the future entries of the sequel trilogy. That's out the window now, though ...

Oh, well, I'll spiritually cast him in my ST re-write when I get around to writing it someday.

You have tried to convince me that what you say is right.  According to you, not me, this is imposing one's belief on others.  You want me to share your opinion.  That is what wishing one's opinion were shared means.  According to you, if you ruled the world, you would force me to share your opinion.

I'm starting to get the impression that imperialscum is projecting his own mentality onto others. Maybe he really would impose his beliefs on others had he the chance.
