Every 'genius' being 25 years old. No buddy, that's not how the world works. There's a reason that all the experts, veterans, Nobel laureates, and Turing laureates are old and experienced.
Every super-programmer of late being 25, female, chatty/hypersocial, and dressed up like a retard/alternative combo. I have met over 3,000 programmers and not a single one of them matched anything even close to that profile. The awesome programmers are old, experienced, and calm, rational people.
Hacking being a realtime thing where popups keep flashing on the screen:
This is the dumbest shit ever. Who seriously believes this?
Selling fidgety and loud wrapper candy at the cinema. Dude, you are the ones that want us to pay for the cinema, why not try to make the experience worthwhile?
Stupidity driving the plot. When your story requires retards to poke things no sane human being would ever poke (Falling Skies f.i.) I completely lose interest.
Children. Children piss me off. Not in the sense that they are inherently bad, but rather that children are either the snarky superior types (like the irritating kids in Blackish), or the super-childish types (like the Middle) where certain traits are over-exposed. Both are irritating.
Hero-driving. You know what I mean. The hero will never lose, never die, and never fail. Likewise, the archvillain won't lose until the end, in a grande finale with a spectacular death scene. Redshirts abound and die in numbers comparable to multiple extinction events. The annoying stuff can be seen in shows like The Last Ship where you know that the caption can happily headshot a thousand redshirts, but when he starts firing at the archvillain in episode 2 you know he's gonna miss with even a thousand bullets at point blank.
Scenic combat. When that big explosion occurs in the background, everyone takes 5 minutes to stare meaningfully and maybe shout a bit before resuming. Most prevalent in japanese stuff, this is super annoying. When you have the bad guy in your sights, why take a minute off to ponder? Don't go for the monologue, you goddamn well know that he's going to throw sand in your eyes and get away at the end unless you act now! Yet it happens so often (also in The Last Ship) and it makes no sense, especially not in professional situations (involving SWAT, elite military forces etc that have been trained in fast and effective actions).
EVERY ************ except the distant big boss is 25 years old and superhot. What is up with this? If I want porn, I can find that. I watch series (unless they're porn series) for story and immersion. Do you think that 25 year old supermodels saving the world is immersive? It isn't! I want believable people in my shows, where the scientists aren't 25 (who the fuck has completed their post-doc at 25?!) with long glistening hair saying shit like "This test concluded that the chlorine came from a factory in Frankfurt Germany some 2 years ago and was made by a left-handed hispanic, probably named Rosalita, or maybe Rosahija".
Zoom! When you zoom in on a digital image, the resolution does not increase! It gets blocky as fuck! No camera in the world can record with such resolution as to catch the reflection in a persons eye at 10m.
Phew, that was quite the rant there.
