Anything at all; maybe something thats cliche, cheesey, recurring, etc.

Example:
The infamous "trip," car wont start, when the killer is chasing them, etc.

I can't stand when "someone who knows computers, dur dur durr" immediately figures out "the system" (cause they know all the passwords like IT Superman or some shit) to save the day or to escape a facility thats about to blow up... you get the idea.

EDIT: Can also apply to TV shows/series

One of my biggest pet peeves is when some character is fairly intelligent or well spoken but then its revealed that they are a villain and they totally flip to a two-dimensional personality with constant outbursts of anger

One of the worst examples imo was Star Trek Into Darkness. Movie wasnt great to begin with but the antagonist goes from this ambiguous and mildly interesting character to this rage fueled idiot once its revealed hes actually Khan, complete with him screaming and pounding his fists down on a control panel like a dramatic teenager

-The beginning previews.
-Drawn-out fighting scenes.
-Crashes/explosions, generally. Generic "spectacular" sound, and that you hear instantly no matter how far off they occur.

When people sit down to eat, but you don't see them actually eat, you just see them chewing when the camera cuts to them. The Sopranos did this all the time. When you actually see them take a bite of something either the food looks disgusting or there's barely anything on the fork. I remember one scene where, I believe, Tony took a bite of food and it was just like two peas on the fork.

I don't know if it's a pet peeve though, just something I find humorous.

ten second timer before the bomb goes off/world ends/etc.

I get it its for dramatic effect but when the bomb diffusal scene takes 10 minutes and even just adding up the non dramatic parts the ten seconds have long since passed.

Also, this isnt a big deal but when a character acts weird/eccentric/rude whatever in a restaurant or retail place and the employees act like nothing happened. Of course those likely are just random extras but what

In anime it's annoying when the characters are moving so fast that it doesn't get animated.

Or in fight scenes they have to wait several seconds for the smoke to clear just so they can see that nothing happened

My biggest, and it will completely ruin a movie for me, is if they break their own rules to the universe. Like if its established a constant but for what ever reason that constant doesnt apply, boom movie is ruined for me

I have a bunch of them, but the first two that comes to mind are:
1) When characters with projectile weapons walk or even run towards people with melee weapons or no weapon at all while they're fighting. God, I fucking hate that shit.

2) They have a character do something completely idiotic or out of character just because the movie needs a certain event to happen. So many people just dismiss it saying that it needed to happen or there wouldn't be a movie, but that's just poor writing.

Love all of these so far...

Just thought of another one. I hate when the writers don't take into account the ammunition left in the chamber of their weapon.

Best/Worst fucking example I can think of:

Yeah. But they could update that is movies, as well. People use it for romance stories so characters can get to know each other better because one has to keep the other one awake. Give them head trauma. I think thats the one you arent suppose to sleep with...

Another thing is bonking someone over the head to knock them out

If you hit someone on the head hard enough for them to lose consciousness theres a good chance you caused a good amount of brain damage at the very least

"people only use 10% of their brain capacity" is wrong and overused.

someone gets knocked out really easily and doesn't get up

someone gets the upper hand over someone that's trying to kill them and doesn't finish the job and it of course comes back to bite them in the ass

Also, 98% of the population predicted that specific spoiler in advance before the movie was even released anyway.

I think its still believed by a lot of people. Hell i had no clue but im neither a medical professional nor ever knowingly had a concussion. I suspect I had one but didnt have any confirmation

Or a comic fan in general.

I've mentioned this before recently, but there used to be a joke in comic fandom (and I'm talking like 30 years ago here) that death in comics was meaningless, and that the only characters who will actually stay dead are Uncle Ben, Bucky, and Jason Todd.

...and then two of those game back from the dead.

It's the same reason why the X-Men have literally joked in the comics themselves that mutant heaven doesn't have pearly gates, it has revolving doors. Comic characters ALWAYS come back.

When power of friendship is too literal, like, caring for and believing in your fiends literally makes you stronger.

Bad writing in general, when characters make illogical, out of character, nonsensical decisions because the writer wanted something to happen but was too lazy to figure out an actual way to transition into it properly.

Yeah, but that doesn't really count unless the dead character's alternate universe self travels into the "main" universe and becomes a character there. Like Gamora sort of did in Endgame.

Yeah. I always thought that was kind of weird that they just came from another place and just decide to make a life there. I mean, I know it's so the readers can have their characters back. But what about the people. Sure, people in the universe we read about will be happy that someone is back from the dead (if they knew). But what about the other universe where someone just disappeared. Though, I guess they could go back whenever... sometimes...

Always thought this was really silly in Harry Potter, despite the prophecy that foretold him as the boy who would live. Not sure the spoiler tag is necessary, but like wtf Harry survives because his parents loved him so much? So I guess other Voldemort victims weren't as loved as Harry was by his parents in the books? What a special snowflake.
