What moment have you really noticed anywhere in fiction where someone seems to be taking the sad and/or angry act way beyond where it should have gone, to the point it seems fake and unnecessary? Of course, excluding Metal Gear Solid (because for some reason whenever it appears there it's never forced-sounding). In the end, instead of the characters acting like real people with real emotion, they end up sounding like cardboard cutouts with recordings of poor voice acting playing in the background. Most of the time it's when a character has a looooong talk with the villain instead of just getting down to business. I'm sitting there going "I came here for storytelling and action, not manly posturing and much showing off of testosterone!".
For simplicity, I've included four basic options in a poll.
