Tropes'R'us - do movie tropes influence our way of thinking

RE: Tropes'R'us - do movie tropes influence our way of thinking
That's a good question. I'mma think on it. Your example seems to be the best that I can think of at the moment. Anything else is just silly things that movies get wrong like military uniforms.

One that I see wrong every time is intramuscular injections. What your supposed to do is stab the needle all the way to the hilt, which makes sure it's delivered at the proper depth, but also fucking stabilizes the needle. What you see in movies is they stab the needle half way in so that every slight movement in their hands translates to a sawing motion in the needle and a lot of pain for the person receiving the shot. Also, your supposed to pull the plunger back a little before you inject. If the syringe fills with blood, you hit a vein and need to back out and start over. You never see that in movies.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
