10 Annoying Things Every Superhero Movie Does

Seriously, how many more times do we have to watch heroes battling their exact doubles?

Continuing to make bank at the box office and only increase in frequency every twelve months, it doesn't look as though the superhero bubble is going to burst any time soon. While that can only be a good thing, with so many superhero movies coming out every year it's no surprise that audiences have started to be subjected to a fair share of familiar tropes that make it into each an every one of these flicks.

This trend is seemingly down to two things: studios are obviously looking to what made other smash-hits so successful and attempting to ape that for themselves, but it's also down to the the comic-book source material itself, which is often built around its own series of repeated cliches, making it inevitable that certain beats are will eventually show up across every movie in this genre.

They aren't necessarily bad when taken on their own, either - after all, directors use them for a reason - but they show up so often that it's getting hard to not notice, and it might be about time filmmakers get some more ideas.
