Top 10 Most Overused Stereotypes in Fiction
PLEASE NOTE: The images that appear in this list are images of characters that completely embody the stereotypes that they appear as examples of in this list.A very racist one that has resulted in quite a few of the most annoying characters ever (Street Fighter's Balrog and Rocky's Clubber, for starters)
Yup, pretty racist.
A good way to subvert this one is by making your Asian Martial Artist not actually be very good at martial arts (cough, with Dan Hibiki being a prime example when compared to basically all of the other Street Fighters, cough)
Well, at least Waylon subverts this stereotype in Advance Wars
(mostly because he embodies what the United States actually are beneath their infamous "beautiful land of the proud and brave" facade)
A character of this type will nearly-always do at least one of these things:
1) Have an expensive and fancy car/vehicle
2) Think that absolutely everyone else is inferior to him/her
3) Generally be an annoying hypocrite that everyone hates
Basically the Arnold Schwarzenegger like character.
Overweight, slovenly, bad at his job, clueless (though sometimes loving) parent ... but somehow has a wife who is way too hot or intelligent than would ever be believable irl
All men are jerks!
