  Jurassic Park.

  Not sure about the other one, but I don’t shun people for having their fun. Technical articles can be quite dry.

    I recognize the reference, and am also not actually against people having joy in their lives.

    My problem is with the use of a tool that is built on a corpus of unlicensed works (regardless of how you feel about the current copyright system, which imo is broken af) and has caused significant environmental and economic damage to the world.

      Oh, there is no defense for sending out slop for a image. I would have rather seen them take a picture and put text on the cards. My concern was that you were against people interjecting Marvel quips.

        Yeah I’m not actually against marvel quips, though I definitely feel they became detrimental to the writing style of their films over time. When I complain about it, I’m really complaining about interruptions where they aren’t warranted and don’t contribute to the narrative.

        A good quip isn’t just funny- it can contribute to audience understanding, help with pacing, and fits naturally into the narrative. A bad quip interrupts the narrative for no reason other than to interrupt. I don’t really have a good example for this, it’s more of a ‘know it when you see it’ situation. It was definitely better in the early marvel films.

        As much as I love witty characters like Spider-Man, not everyone needs to be comic relief and sometimes it just doesn’t jibe with the story being told.
