>Quips are now a form of currency for films
>If you don't meet the quip levels, critics will ravage it
>Critics are demanding more and more quips which every film
>Movies are now being reshot and rewritten to fit in more quips

What happens when we hit the inevitable quip plateau? You can only fit so many quips in 2 hours.

How many quips can I get for one quop?

A "quip" is a humorous one-liner in an action film said in a snarky manner. Quips are THE defining trait of modern successful blockbusters, mostly those produced by Disney-Marvel.

"I'll be back" probably could count as a quip, if it was said campy enough.

Nope. Dry humor does not count as quips. GOTG actually had some smart humor to it.. It just wasn't delivered by Star Lord.
The "over my head" joke was the best bit of comedy in the film.
I also loved the Baskin Robbins stuff from Ant-Man.
The problem with Marvel and Disney is that, they don't know when to friggin stop.
You don't need jokes every other minute. Especially lame forced quips and gags.

quips are hard to define, you kind of just know when its a quip

general guidlines involve a snarky comment or joke that the dialogue flows unnaturally into and out of and feel generally out of place in the dialogue, they're almost always something you could never see a real person saying in that situation (unless its a quip lover).

Basically Quips are always very short throwaway lines but rather than being a natural progression to the dialogue and based on some in-film development, feel out of place, as if they were written by a computer then randomly inserted into the movie.

Its was angry DC fans call jokes or funny dialog in their movies. They feel capshit has to be serious business.

Consequently they also can't understand why garbage like MoS and BvS isn't well received and so their 13 year old brains blame it on the critics not being smart enough to "get it." And feel Marvel films are only successful because of the funny bits of dialog that they call "quips" that dumb people can latch on to.

Here are some examples of God tier DC poetry, notice the difference:
"Do you bleed.... you will"
"Boys! mmmmmmm"
"She with you?" - "I thought she was with you"
"The red capes are coming the red capes are coming"

I don't understand how the mother dying post gets so many replies.

Is it that /tv/ is filled with facebook tier retards who pretend to be memeing while they reply so they don't feel so stupid? Is this an IQ test for the different boards?

It's what we used to call a "one-liner."
Problem is, one-liners used to be one line you'd remember from a film, but now every line in a show is a one-liner.

a quip is, by definition, something spoken

so no, dancing is not a quip
