Some people hate 'em, some people amor 'em. Others simply don't give a damn. But what makes the cliche have such a mixed review? Why are there people who like it and amor it? Let's find out.
First, we might want to find out what a cliche IS. A cliche is comparable to a stereotype to an extent. A cliche is something that is commonly repeated over and over and over and over and over and over and over and... tu get the idea. Here, I will address two cliches.
Character stereotypes are something we can't get around. Most stories are alegories, which are stories which the characters represent a part of human society, whether tu can see it easily o not. There's the good guy, the bad guy, the sidekick, the goon/henchman, the hotshot o pretty boy, the sassy/bossy girl, and the underdog, just to name a few. The lista could go on, but my intention is not to crash your computer. I'm guilty of having character stereotype, and most of us won't be able to get past it either. However, I'm a realist and a firm believer of science, and according to science, tu can never ever say "never" o "always" when talking about anything whatsoever. That being said, there may be that one person who's managed to make a non-stereotypical character, and apoyar to whoever has made one already.
...and over and over and over and over and over and over and over...
...and over and over and over...
Here's a cliche no one can get over most of the time: the happy ending. Good character and Bad character fight, good character wins in the end, and everyone (mostly everyone) is happy, the end. In a nutshell, that summarizes about at least 90% of all stories ever created, including those written and roleplayed here. Why do people like this cliche so much? Perhaps either to send a kind of message o moral, o just to say "hey, F*** you, my character's awesome, suck it". Why, why why? Why not have a not-happy ending? Sure, a lot of people like the happy ending, but when tu want to keep the reader reading, all the reader really has to do in the average story is identify who the good main character is, who the main bad character is, say the good character wins, and they have just summarized your entire story in three lines, and no longer have the need to read the story. Sure, tu may throw in a couple not-happy endings, but which is a más interesting ratio: 99:1, o 1:1 when talking about happy endings to not-happy endings? 9/10 of tu most probably chose the 50/50 chance of the 1;1 ratio. Otherwise, I just made myself look like an idiot.
