    I still remember, back when Diablo 3 was doing a public technical test or something, a friend of mine and I were very excited to get in and give it a try. We took a look at the heroes, and I decided on male Monk while he selected female Barb. I named mine something random, I don’t remember what, but my friend thought for only a moment before naming her “Snoo-snoo”.

    Later that day, we went to the D3 subreddit to see what people thought, and there was a post titled “The 10 commandments of Diablo 3” and one of them was “Thou shalt not name thy female barbarian " Snoo-snoo”. We had a good laugh.

    All good! “Fell” is the past tense of “fall”. Aternatively in some cases you could say “did fall”, though in modern English that’s usually used as an affirmative to a question about the fallen status of the chocolate (e.g. [which is short for the Latin “exemplia gratia” , meaning “for example”], Question: “Did the chocolate fall?” Answer: “Yes, the chocolate did fall” or “Yes, it did fall”).

    There are actually other (irrelevant) meanings of the word “fell”; as an adjective in “a fell beast” for example, “fell” means “fierce, cruel, terrible, or dreadful”; or as a verb meaning “to knock, strike, shoot, or cut down; cause to fall” for example " to fell a moose" or “to fell a tree.”

    Let me see if I understand:

     

    Blue and red vase don’t like each other and are about to fight

    Red vase smashes blue vase, killing him. Man in the background sees.

    Man is sad about red vase smashing blue vase, red vase doesn’t care.

    Man tells red vase he is trash if he keeps smashing other vases and being hateful, he’s going in the trash, red vase doesn’t care.

    Man tells red vase he loves him, red vase doesn’t care.

    Red vase tells man he hates him and the blue vase.

    Man smashes red vase.

    Man puts red vase in the trash. In the background there’s a picture of red, blue, and yellow vase, and a big picture of red vase (going by shape).

     

    Did I miss anything?

    You have perfectctly described what I have been trying to grasp for years. I’ve found myself liking less and less so many movies from the last ~20 years, but I just couldn’t put my finger on what specifically the reason was. I knew I didn’t like the writing, and especially didn’t like the humor (in particular how forced it felt), but I couldn’t determine quite why.

    What I did know is that it felt like writers saw their audiences as big dumb idiots who can’t detect any nuance in writing, and need everything spelled out for them. It made many movies unwatchably unenjoyable, to the point that I have only seen… I think 5 of the MCU movies (a few of the early ones, a fee of the more recent ones).

    Thank you for helping me to understand.
