{{IndexTrope}}
This is the kind of [[Trope]] which you see all the time, and we mean [[Seen It a Million Times|
Some of them are intrinsically vital to storytelling itself; they are so ubiquitous, and you don't even think of them as [[trope]]s until they're pointed out to you. Some are [[Acceptable Breaks From Reality]]--unrealistic [[trope]]s that are intrinsic to the escapist appeal of fiction, and would seriously detract from it if they were [[Averted]]. Then you have the ones which are not necessary by any means, but look like the most ''natural'' thing in the world--timeless classics which for centuries have driven stories forward, held audience breaths and become legends. You sit through the work expecting them, even looking forward to them; come the [[Establishing Shot]], the first thing you ask yourself is "Where's [[The Hero]]?"
