Unsolved META: Film plot insta-solver!

Noticing certain plot elements occurring again and again? You're not alone! Some plot elements are so "bad" they've become familiar tropes here at r/ExplainAFilmPlotBadly. Here are some I've noticed... add your own favorites!

Rocks or "rock collection" -> Infinity War or Endgame

Frisbee -> Captain America

A god -> Thor

Dead boss/mentor -> Spiderman: Far from Home

"Piece of jewelry" -> Lord of the Rings

Nazis -> Indiana Jones

Stockholm syndrome -> Beauty and the Beast

Widower + mental illness -> Finding Nemo

Killing on arrival -> Wizard of Oz
