Accidental Marriage: I'm wary of it because of the 'wacky exotic culture' element.
Undercover Lovers: I think I don't like it because of much sitcom watching as a child.
Achilles in his tent: Depends on why the Achilles is angry and how the other people react before, during, and after. Going to the trope page, there is one example I remember enjoying and another I think was done well even if I didn't like it.
Dark Magical Girl: It brings out my feelings of sympathy and repulsion, and I kind of relate to it some. So I love it. Then there are the issues with femininity and how it's portrayed: seeing the part on the page about how they are usually faster, stronger, and more ruthless than the magical girl makes me think about how competent and practical female characters are portrayed compared to more idealistic ''pure and innocent" ones. And how someone who is pragmatic and female is often seen as dark and slipping off the cliff, at best.

Turn Out Like His Father: I don't like the whole 'it's in the blood' cliché, especially if the parent isn't even someone the child knew or knew about.
