You might want to put the shovel down because you are digging one hell of a hole. Let me guess, you looked it up and saw only definition #1 and then came back to reply to me about how I thought a cliche and a trope are the same thing. Might want to check definition #2. Cliche is literally part of that definition. |
How about you not sidestep everything else I said, which was actually the important part?
Let me repeat it for you, so you won't accidently snip it again:
My point, which you seemed to miss, is that anyone who is so shallow that they look at a character they don't know anything about and think, "that's a boring trope," is a slave to their own ignorance. The princess I described is obviously not a boring trope and I have no clue how you came to that conclusion. Did you not read my description? What are you even talking about? I just explained to you that she was very well written and developed. But I'm supposed to dismiss her because she's a blonde princess? No.
People who think like that, "oh, that's a trope, I can just assume I understand everything about that character," are just fooling themselves with meaningless assumptions--and risking looking like fools when their assumptions are wrong. The article illustrates that perfectly.
