The absolute dumbest example I think of for the OP is Assassin's Creed 2. Holy shit is Ezio dumb af for not killing Rodrigo.

I never thought about that one. You make a good point.

For me, the one that bugs me the most is characters becoming atheists because something bad happened to them. Ive known a lot of atheists in my life, many of whom have experienced trauma, but not one of them became an atheist because of that trauma; they became atheists because of self-reflection and evaluation of evidence, so to see atheism used as some cheap device to make characters edgier feels like its painting an unrealistic picture, and one that does a disservice to a lot of people.

That's interesting. I guess that's what happen when a religious author tries to write an atheist lol. I personally haven't seen a story like that, but I trust they're out there.

For me, maybe sudden bad guy redemption endings. I feel like few stories that employ this actually do it well.
