User blog:FreeSpirit98/Are tropes and plots excusable to dislike an episode?

Hello, I actually have been urging this to be made into a blog post and this is an intriguing question, based on the title of the blog.

Over the Internet, I've seen when people critique a show episode, they use some fancy-schmancy devices known as TV tropes. Similar to how literary devices such as similes, metaphors and ironies from a written work, tropes are like that to animated shows. But the in-depth question says that are tropes and plots taken seriously and detaching people into appreciating an episode as a whole? (I have not yet seen people dislike a written work for just using a simile)

If you wanna know some few tropes out that people describe the The Loud House, here are examples:
 * Double Standards
 * Butt-monkey
 * Sexism
 * Fourth Wall Observer
 * Status Quo is God

and others but they are lengthy to list, got from the TVTropes website

Now, I'm a bit iffy of how these tropes are used for the audience. While I can understand why they can be like literary devices for written work, but I've seen people take it too seriously and find it as a way to excuse themselves to dislike an episode. Like, I've seen that Lori and Lincoln are being a "butt-monkeys" or that Lincoln breaks the fourth wall too much, or they are double-standards on the show, etc... I'm not a person that cares way much about TV tropes, I don't even include a TV trope used in my reviews or how I rate an episode. I kinda see it people may overanalyze it and some of these tropes are well, subjective, not objective. Some people may argue that a specific trope doesn't work like that in a moment or scene of an episode. I've seen it's something that some people focus too much. What about references? Well, I haven't yet seen someone dislike an episode based on a reference. How silly it'd be to dislike an episode due to a reference made like Pasture Bedtime is "past your bedtime", or Ruthless People sharing the same name as a movie from 1986. I think these are somewhat nitpicking to find a flaw in an episode, I just seen that people use tropes negatively rather than what you would write in an English essay.

Out of the tropes in the way, I've gonna discuss about plots now. Ever since The Mad Scientist aired, I've seen few that say "Oh that was a recycled plot from Garage Banned" and they would either rate it lower or stay neutral to the episode. I really don't understand why is recycling plots a bad thing or something that people over focus to? I've gonna say that The Loud House is not gonna be expected to have 100% original content. There would be a way to make an episode work, even if "a plot is recycled", there's literally nothing wrong with recycling plots, it can be like looking what if another sibling is tired and went to another location. You know, it's The Loud House after all, there could be siblings experiencing something like that. Tying with recycling plots, there are other shows that have recycled plots. SpongeBob SquarePants, Scooby Doo, Phineas and Ferb and other shows and they don't get shafted for recycling a plot so why does The Loud House has to be treated differently because of a reused plot? You can be a lot creative with a recycled plot, it's not really a copy-and-paste situation. Only thing it would matter (well to me an extent) is if you make it work properly or something that the audience would engage.

Now now, these are some intriguing questions I had. This is not coming off as a rant, I just don't understand why people find these as important or over focused/overanalyze these things that would simply make an episode bad or something. So, after all, what would you guys think, do tropes/recycling plots comes as excusable or something to nitpick and automatically dislike an episode?
