Message: [QUOTE="miguk, post: 54429, member: 1510"] Self-aware humor exists for one reason: the writer does not respect the material, and thinks the audience will respect [I]the writer[/I] (not the film) more if he shows this. So they tell you "hey, the comic this is based on was made for and by lame nerds" because they assume you don't even like the story despite the fact that you paid to see a movie based on it. And unfortunately, Hollywood marketing hypes these writers up, pushes them as the next big thing that we should model all movies off of from now on, and then years later we finally backlash against them by letting [I]Justice League[/I] and [I]Thor: Love & Thunder[/I] bomb at the box office. And while the studios ditched those writers, they still haven't learned to ditch their writing styles. On that note, I really, really, want to see either Spider-man or Dr Strange get told off (or even punched) for being a jerk to people with their lame "huh huh, you got funny name" joke. If they're going to bring that joke back yet again, it better be to publicly execute it. [/QUOTE]
