5/10 it can be satisfying, but also be used just to be edgy.

Definitely an interesting character archetype and good at making Grey-and-Grey Morality.

5/10, while they can depress me, it makes sense if the story is very dark or meant to be a tragedy, and their is many good examples.

2/10. While a perfectly valid tool for a story, I feel like we can agree that there are way too many Real Life examples. 'Tis not fun.

4/10. It’s sweet when he’s protecting a kid, it’s just weird and creepy when the protectee is a teenager or young adult.

Another opposite people fall in love trope. I'm OK about it, provided it is done well.

8/10

if the foreshadowing is really good and well hidden, and the reveal hits just right it's like bam, chef's kiss

makes you rethink the entire story bc how tf did they sneak that under your nose and wanna experience it again just to catch those moments again with the benefit of hindsight

of course if done bad/too obviously is no different from treating the audience like a buncha braindead schmucks and just shoving a plainly obvious plot point down their throats

It can be a mixed bag, either it is a great trope that makes up for some damn smart writing or just a cheap writing device to connect a jumbled mess. 10/10 when done well, 1/10 when done badly IMO.
