Continuation: Our avatars are in a room.

to be fair

i think that is a perfectly valid response if one character is talking to another character who talks in tropes too much

but then again you are doing something wrong if you have a character like that for them to respond to in your story the first place

so i don't know what the point of this post was

just stop reading it

i will not stop reading it

@fox in a bok: yes

@squid: also yes

@hil: well yeah I guess

everything is to do with how well you handle it

I've never seen that line handled well though

except for once in the lord of the rings and that's because it wasn't that line and was a characterising extended discussion between Sam and Frodo

Did I miss Wiggu?

I think I missed Wiggu.

What about The Incredibles? It did that sort of line pretty well.

Hmmm

Can you remind me of it?

That does remind me of another good example of the line in Watchmen

will vanish have to drive my Mum somewhere back in ten twenty minutes hopefully

i mean its a very bad line if its used to try to make someone sound badass, which is pretty much the only time it is used. i was sort of inventing a scenario where it might sound less stupid

also what if someone watches a movie and thinks its a comic book because they don't understand how the world works?

yet another situation where "this is not a comic book" would be appropriate

Courtesy of Elastigirl, to her kids.

jak n daxter played it pretty good

granted that series only sparsely does 4th wall jokes and they work when they do

@fox: that is acceptable to me because it was used to explain the gravity of the situation to kids

it bothers me more when its, say, in a comic where every other superhero wears a costume but one dude is like "bitch please, im not going to do this dumb thing that comics do because this isn't a comic and also im really cool"

aaaaaaaaaaaa I just lost my post as I was about to post it one moment
