Analysis of Stereotypes as Tropes
Stereotypes in forms of media is now more of a trope these days. In a sense they can serve a purpose, Speaking more from the narrative stereotypes like the workers, the scientists, the thug, the bad guy. I am speaking more to the designs and narratives that are in the character themselves and less on the side of racial stereotypes. This can hearken back the principles of character design that can be found in many forms of media.

| Designed as"obviously evil" and "good is good" |

| An Olympic swimmer perhaps? I think not. |
With the stereotype or more so the tropes of sharp angles are more menacing and rounded designs are more friendly.
Narrative stereotypes can be seen more as a trope since they can be useful in storytelling as you can easily identify a character based on there designs. Because of this archetype/stereotype the audience can infer what the character will be like and how they will behave. With that being said there are also the other extreme of tropes or stereotyping.
