I hate the injection of personality into technological instances or common hiccups in modern Internet culture. My heart monitor watch shows me a smiley face while booting up, Github buttons spam "Buy me a coffee!", Reddit says shit like, "Don't panic" when a webpage doesn't load. Shut the fuck up and leave me alone. I am so tired of being surrounded by these pale imitations of reality, like I need to be pacified with pseudo-emotions or meme culture every step of my day.
"Marvel humour" had poisoned so many pieces of media now. The style of writing where if there is any sort of threat, any potential emotion, any quiet moment, is immediately undercut by a "funny" quip.
I saw people cry at the end of Infinity War because it actually tried. Final moment of potential victory, horrid realisation of defeat, then it's silence as the weight of just having let a madman get away with wiping out trillions of lives in an instant sets in.
Bam, cut, done. Make your audience fucking cry, you pussies. Make them sweat during every action scene.
I watched the Addams Family movie the other year and it shocked me how much they don't make comedies like that anymore. Other than the very best shows and movies, every funny moment is the character being funny. The ridiculous situations of Airplane! wouldn't be greenlit today.

It's why I can't bring myself to hate The Final Frontier. It still captures a lot of that spirit that the other films have, especially the dynamic between the core three of Kirk, Spock and Bones. It kinda sucks but at least you can tell someone cared, even if they weren't talented enough to pull it off.
It doesn't give me the same awful vibes that something like Nemesis or Into Darkness does. Or the new CBS shows for that matter.
