One trope I kind of have mixed feelings about is shoot the shaggy dog, on one hand it is fairly realistic that sometimes your efforts will end up meaningless, on the other hand it sucks knowing that your hero went through all that hard work just to get screwed over in the end.

I do like it sometimes as it can bring a new twist to a story as not everything you do is gonna have meaning behind it.
