Why are there so many commonly used tropes in comic book stories? The tragic origin story, we fixed things because of time travel, it wasn't me, it was my evil gender swapped clone, and so on and so on. It's not that these plot points aren't cool and interesting. They are, or can be if done right. But when you have hundreds of comic books coming out a year and you spread those characters and teams over a few decades worth of storylines, it's easy to see the same plot device used time and time again.

They're awesome when they work, tolerable when you see them coming and cringeworthy when they flop. On this episode of My Big Fat Pull List, we're going to examine just a few of the good, the bad and the Commonly Overused  Tropes In Comics!
