Iraq was a fun deployment in a weird way. I missed home so fucking bad but all the black market dvds I could buy for a few bucks just so I could play that shit with my fellow 91Fs back at the green zone while we did our best to unfuck small arms.

The underdog getting his ass kicked the whole movie only to come back in the end and beat the super baddie no one else can take on.

Pretty much anything with underdogs if it's done right. But who doesn't love an underdog?

The protagonist is mastering a technique throughout the movie and then he ends up effortlessly using it in combat.

I wouldn't say T2 has an unsuspecting character, Arnold may be naked, but he is built like a fucking tank.

As in, unsuspecting by the ones who mock the character. It wasn't until Arnold refuses to flinch at the cigarette butt burn on his chest that everyone around him really starts getting scared. After all, at first people only thought of him as weird but still human.

it's literally just a way to artificially create drama and tension, this shit is the worst

it only works when they don't overdo it and it would fit with the tone of the story for the hero to sacrifice themselves, but even then, it's REALLY IMPORTANT that it's not dragged out, because that just makes it terrible
