I have realised my own movie trope, as I can think of some examples and deem it a trope.
WOOFING - Where a dog is killed for a human to better themselves and their stupid lives.

Turner and Hooch
Marley and Me
All dogs go to heaven
The one that waited at a station american remake
the dog in gremlins that doesn’t die but is hurt by them

I was joking - it’s the only Liam Neeson film I’ve seen recently where he isn’t on an orgy of revenge for his entire screentime :+1:

I’ve seen the first three but not Jason Bourne :thinking:

Good poll, think the first is a clear example of it, but Parsons is an operative so has taken a choice to put herself in the line of danger. Also has active role in the development of the plot from her own actions rather than as an observer.

She’s fine.

Don’t bother it’s not a patch on them.

That was my reasoning - LOVE the first three.

And now 'filth has ruined the fourth one anyway :rage:

Look if it’s been on ITV2 then my embarrassment at spoilering is zero point zero percent.

trying to think of any liam neeson films ive seen. taken, obvs. he was in some of the shit star wars ones wasnt he. think thats it

In Schindler’s List he really takes it to the Nazis.

oh ive seen that one, forgot he was in it

Weird to think that we’re rapidly approaching the time when him being in that will qualify for lists of “ten bizarre things you didn’t know about Liam Neeson”

I was amazed that Deadpool didn’t call itself out on fridging Vanessa as it’s such a well known comics trope, glad the Xmas cut did.

But yea, this shit needs to be mocked every time it’s rolled out.

The Grey is pretty good - it’s basically just two hours of Liam punching wolves in their stupid furry faces :+1:
