You don't have to reinvent the wheel to tell a good story.
I don't mind seeing any of the things in the list or even a combination of them in an RPG, as long as it's done well. Tropes and Clichés alike.
There is such a thing as TOO ununspired or TOO predictable. And it is also very possible to screw up in many other forms. Any of these can be bad, but any of these can also be utalized greatly.
The death of a beloved character for example is still painfull. It doesn't matter that other characters in other media have died at some point. If it's someone you've become attatched too, it still hurts.
Stereoptypes, however, are a diffrent matter. They are similar, but a lor harder to handle "correctly".

If it's funny, make sure people laugh. If it's not funny, make it funny (unless it's actually really serious). (silvercheers)
Please don't spell my name "Yamina-chan". It's all small. Thank you =D
