Yes, it can be quite common. Many people are afraid of ghost stories as they often involve the unknown, the supernatural, and things that go against our normal understanding of the world. This fear can be intensified by elements like spooky settings, eerie sounds, and unexpected plot twists in the stories.
Stephen King has such a vast body of work that it's hard to label any as 'dumbest'. His stories range from horror masterpieces to more character - driven tales. However, some readers might not like the stories where he goes too far into the supernatural without enough grounding in the real world. For instance, some might find certain of his stories about otherworldly creatures that seem to have no real connection to human emotions or experiences as less engaging, but again, this is all a matter of personal opinion.
They often have characters that make silly mistakes. For example, in 'The Tortoise and the Hare', the hare is overconfident and takes a nap during the race, which is a really dumb move. This shows kids the importance of not being too cocky.
One example could be those novels where the characters fall in love instantly without any real build - up. For instance, they meet and within a page or two, they're proclaiming their undying love. Another might be the ones with extremely cheesy dialogues like 'Your eyes are like the stars and I can't live without you' that lack any real depth or originality.
The moral could be that everyone has their own strengths and potential, and we shouldn't judge someone just based on their initial appearance of being 'dumb'.
In some cheesy romance novels, you might find names like 'Bubbles' which can seem really dumb. It gives off a very cutesy and not very serious vibe, making it hard to take the character seriously at times.
One of the dumbest could be the 'invisibility belt' in some old sci - fi. I mean, sure, being invisible sounds cool, but think about it. You can't really control who sees you when you're invisible. There's no off switch for normal people's eyes. And if you accidentally step in front of a car or something, well, that's not going to end well.
One of the dumbest could be when a character suddenly has a superpower for no logical reason at all. It just seems like a lazy way to add something exciting without proper build - up. Another might be a story where the villain's plan makes no sense and is just there to create chaos without any real motivation. And then there are those stories where characters act completely out of character just to fit the plot, like a usually smart hero making really stupid decisions.
Some might consider the Canto Bight sequence in 'The Last Jedi' a dumb story. It introduced a new location full of gamblers and rich people that didn't seem to add much to the overall plot. It felt like a side - adventure that was kind of forced and didn't really move the main story forward.
One dumbest true story is about a man who tried to rob a bank but wrote the demand note on a piece of paper with his own name on it. He was caught very quickly. Another one is a person who thought that putting a lemon in the microwave would make it charge his phone. Of course, it ended up in a mess.
