Laugh with Me!
The Big Bad has the princess locked in his tower, the hero is in a death trap, and he is moments away from taking over the world. He is surrounded by his minions so it's the perfect time for a little Evil Gloating followed by a nice, hearty Evil Laugh. He belts one out but stops once he realizes he is the only one laughing. Where's his Contagious Laughter
Divine Parental Issues
In stories where one or more characters have Divine Parentage, chances are that they're going to have a rather poor relationship with that parent. Whether the parent is abusive, absent, or just doesn't really get along with their kid, it's very rare for any children of the gods to grow up without some degree of parental issues.
The reason for this common dynamic is quite simple: people very rarely like authority figures, and a divine parent manages to cram two of the greatest authority figures in an average person's life into one. The fact that a divine being is also largely to entirely removed from the mortal life their child presumably leads also means that them getting along poorly with them is all but a given.
