Somehow each Tuesday I've been able to put aside all of the series' tropes and cliches so I can cuddle up with the Pearson family, completely giving into their unabashed attempts to pull at my heartstrings — the knee-slapping Toby jokes, the Big Three mantra, the starry-eyed romantic flashbacks of Jack and Rebecca.

Latin pop might have the best track record of not being exoticized; Enrique Iglesias and Jennifer Lopez started something of a Latin wave in the late 90s through more subtle incorporations of their Latinidad—horns and extroverted singing styles—into otherwise ordinary mainstream pop devoid of cliches other than the instantly dated, glossy production style that plagued the era.

Marvel Television has given us some of the best comic book adaptations in any medium — Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Legion and Agent Carter have, at their best, elevated the genre beyond the four-color cliches of the past and offered something truly original (perhaps because of the passionate showrunners at the helm) — but there's nothing unique or groundbreaking about Inhumans, aside from Disney's clever strategy of getting IMAX to pay for part of it.

The first one that came to mind is from when I was playing in Czech Republic, I don't remember the name of the city, I arrived at the club and they've prepared a special production in the whole club with a Brazilian motif, but they put up billboards with totally random words in Portuguese; God knows how they looked those up, but the words had nothing to do to with anything, stuff like "Casa de Cambio" which means exchange office, or "Cadeira" which means chair, "Circo" which means circus, not to mention drawings of bananas and all sorts of cliches, but it was so absurd we laughed like crazy all night long.
