Decided to watch the first episode of Reacher. Man can't walk 50 metres without some damsel in distress appearing in close proximity, needing a big tough guy with a unique set of karate skills.
There is surely a tv trope page for this. Protagonist is always surrounded by adventure. Imagine if it was like in real life where basically nothing ever happens? Tbh I'd enjoy that subversion of the trope. Jack Reacher arrives in Tranquillville Virginia. Walks into a diner. Pays for his coffee. No one bothers him. One lady calls him "darlin". Goes home, watches a bit of tv, falls asleep. Spends his days feeling very frustrated that he can't put his hero cape on. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. http://i.imgur.com/ILz2ZbV.jpg ...

How about a comedy skit? I'm surprised key and peele haven't spoofed this idea before. Like why is it the protagonist is always followed around by danger? These small towns are unbelievably violent and chaotic.

Seinfeld ran for nine seasons, just so you know. Seinfeld was a show about nothing, not a show where nothing happens. It's a sit-com, but not a family or romantic sitcom like Growing Pains or Mad About You, and it's not about a workplace like The Office or Night Court. See the difference? Also, it's a comedy so the plot doesn't have to be really thick. --- Moderated for telling people not to commit illegal acts of assault and murder.09/2/23 Also moderated for not responding to obvious bait. - 10/03/23 ...
