It's part of TV magic, but at some point and across numerous series we can point out some ridiculous tropes that seem to have stuck for our fictitious friends.

Keanu Reeves is immortal, and here’s the proof

Despite now being in his late fifties, Keanu Reeves looks almost exactly the same as he did way back when in 'Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure' (1989). The Internet is convinced there's something odd at work here. There’s even a website called Keanu Is Immortal dedicated to proving that Reeves is actually thousands of years old, tying him to historical figures who died mysteriously! Perhaps it's no surprise, then, that Reeves was asked about his alleged immortality when he appeared at the SXSW Film Festival premiere of 'John Wick: Chapter 4' in 2023. In the post-screening Q&A, one fan asked Reeves if he ever ages, and he replied, "Yeah man, I age. I really—I age. It’s happening, man." His voice held just enough weariness that we were almost convinced he really knew what it felt like to age. After Reeves said he kept John Wick’s wedding ring from the previous movies, someone in the crowd shouted, “I’ll marry you!” and he replied, "Yeah, be careful what you wish for." He's right, it must be hard to marry someone who's immortal, as you'll get older while he stays looking just as attractive as ever. If you want proof, check out this gallery to see the many ways he’s never changed.

The most controversial films of the last decade

Sometimes the scandal centered around the films themselves, with accusations of whitewashing and blackface, while others were shrouded in controversy thanks to their directors' poor behavior.

The most iconic narrators in film history

The narrator's voice has been used in so many different ways throughout cinematic history, and while some styles have become somewhat cliché or are seen as narrative shortcuts, there are several iconic examples that clearly inspired other filmmakers and turned narration into an art form.
