VirtuousTraveller Posted January 6, 2025 Posted January 6, 2025 (edited) I don’t think many of us will be quoting “No, I’m his therapist!” as our favorite line from Wind and Truth That said, I have a feeling it will be a line we’ll continue to quote as an example of lines that fell flat (flatlines if you will). A cheesy jibe, something that elicits an eye roll for the wrong reasons - that kind of stuff. I’m curious how many of these “flatlines” we can come up with from other books or media. The one that comes to my mind immediately is from Revenge of the Sith, in the epic lightsaber duel between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Quote Obi-Wan: “Anakin, Chancelor Palpatine is evil!” Anakin: “From the Jedi point of view! From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!” It’s super cheesy dialogue, and it happens in the middle of one of the most epic lightsaber battles. One more Star Wars reference - from The Rise of Skywalker: Quote You already know what this quote is going to be if you understand what I’m fishing for ”Somehow, Palpatine returned.” Anyone have any other examples that come to mind like this?

OoklaApologist She/her Posted January 7, 2025 Posted January 7, 2025 You know, I thought a while, and I couldn’t come up with any. I guess remembering unremarkable things is hard
Aredor Posted January 7, 2025 Posted January 7, 2025 It must be said. Quote What is this, some kind of... Suicide Squad?
TwinStorm He/Him Posted January 7, 2025 Posted January 7, 2025 Quote I'm Batman. Whenever they name drop the title, it feels flat and dumb. 1
