When a cool character shows up during a show, only to never make a reappearance in the future. Not sure if there's a TV Tropes trope for it.

A salt Rifle
The mentor/teacher of the protagonist refusing to show his capabilities throughout the whole story. Usually followed by his tragic death by disease/age/murder causing the protagonist to somehow understand the lessons he previously struggled with and ovwrcome his mentor in skill... somehow, again.

"I'm pretty sure we're gonna be fine, we've got like four or five main characters in here."

That and bringing dead characters back to life.

Even more so when it's outside rom/com. Writers prove their ability to completely kill everything driving and interesting in their stories with these retarded arcs.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
Nothing that i can think of

Are these like stereotypes?
Quote
Tropes are devices and conventions that a writer can reasonably rely on as being present in the audience members' minds and expectations. On the whole, tropes are not clichés. The word clichéd means "stereotyped and trite." In other words, dull and uninteresting. We are not looking for dull and uninteresting entries. We are here to recognize tropes and play with them, not to make fun of them.
I still don't understand.
Things in movies, anime, and other things that appear a lot.

Wilhelm scream for example.
Like how the black guy is usually the first to die?
Yes, that could work as a trope I suppose.
But one I don't like..
Like when the black guy gets with the white girl?
Thats not a trope, thats just you being racist thanks to your mom.

Nope, It's a trope.

the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
This one springs to mind.

I don't particularly dislike any tropes, but it's absolutely baffling when, out of all the people in the world/galaxy/universe, only a handful of plot-relevant characters do anything meaningful.
