A video game trope, most often seen in platformer bosses. The enemy will be preparing some sort of attack, and a crosshair or some other target marker will appear on the screen and follow the player around, showing where the attack will land. Sometimes this can make sense when used with Jaws First Person Perspective, but usually there's no reason for the target marker to be there apart from making the attack easier to avoid. May also manifest as a Laser Sight.
