Still really funny that Marvel named a movie “Endgame” and sold it as the final culmination of the MCU where they killed off two main characters and retired a third and then were shocked when people started loosing interest in the MCU after that

thinking more about authorial insecurity in fiction... it truly is frustrating to me when an author is clearly ashamed of their own premises, or is preemptively responding to imagined criticism. this is where you get a lot of unfunny humor about how stupid genre conventions are and how Unrealistic fantastical/speculative elements are. like ultimately the reason that authors undercut and overexplain their own works is because they're insecure about audience reaction and want to get ahead of the haters by proclaiming that they're Not Cringe. this will not work because I, the ultimate hater, will eventually find them and make one million posts about how much I despise irony poisoning
if you buy a nonlethal rat trap at the local hardware sales store in order to unsuccessfully trap an abandoned pet rat at your local park during your shifts as a boat inspector its a good investment because then you can reuse it to unsuccessfully try to trap a wild rat that you've dubbed 'Slippery Todd' who moves into your house's vents the next winter and then you can even later use it as a container for burying a dead mole that will let you recover the mole's bone's later and protect them from scavengers in the meantime.
