Is there a 'plot device' you'd like to be seen (either standard or flipped on it's head) in movies?

I for example, am wishing that He man is going to be good.
But there's one part that bugs me.
They do the 'protagonist is booped to earth for some reason and spends part of his life with no magic powers' trope.
I have not seen the movie yet but the trailers at least give good justification, I just...don't like the plot device.
Many times it's done so that the audience can 'relate' to the hero. (or fantasize about being them)

I would like this Plot Device flipped on it's head some time.
And I mean entirely. Like Sebastian in Never Ending Story.
