When a single person is fighting multiple assailants but they still only attack one at a time while the others just stand there trying not to look odd while waiting for their turn.

I hate it when the whole thing revolves around the protagonist being young and they act emotionally stupid.
I know, I just hate stupid teen drama.
Why can't the main guy/gal be an emotionally smart person?
When people and places that should be dirty are clean and kempt. Pirates on the seas should be dirty. Soldiers in the field should be dirty. Cowboys on a cattle drive should be dirty. Swamp cultists should be dirty. I appreciate realistically dirty characters. It distracts me every time when characters are clean and showered with their hair done on day three of being lost in the woods or some shit. It's one of the many things Our Flag Means Death nails. Even Stede gets grimy, because piracy is grimy work.
Or women with foundation, mascara, and lipstick when it makes no damn sense. Like wow, didn't know Sephora survived the nuclear apocalypse.
Entire plot lines hinging on people not explaining themselves which would take about 5 seconds.
inaccurate official subtitles
Concussions. Especially when they are used as plot vehicles where someone is knocked out, and they wake up in a jail cell or whatever.
If you got hit THAT hard on the head that you're unconscious and unresponsive for hours? You are going to wake up dizzy, nauseated, and disoriented with a huge headache, loss of motor control, and a disorienting tinnitus. Possibly permanently. Your brain swelled up and cut off blood flow. You might look like a stroke victim. You will not wake up, rub your head, then pick a lock in a dark room and construct a bomb with a gum wrapper and a smoke detector battery. You will weep, vomit, and be unable to walk straight until you get real medical attention.
Some action stars get knocked out almost every episode. I think MacGyver would have been mentally incapacitated after just a few shows.
As someone who is a bartender, almost any scene in a bar in any show or movie. I swear it gives people bad habits about how bars actually work.
Example? Geniunly interested.
