"Teenagers who sound like screenwriters trying to sound cool.
Never in the history of humanity have two 15 year olds randomly recited 18th century poetry to each other on the day they met, and all those snarky remarks makes the kids sound insufferable and annoying a lot more than clever.
Also notice that somehow every clever 15 y.o. always listens to music that was huge when the screenwriter was growing up, never something that is... you know... listened to by 15 year olds... as if there was no good music around presently.
PS. Also the whole sarcastic genius with no social clues...yes we get it Dr. House was a hit 20 years ago, now can we get Cumberbatch to play any other freaking role?"
Frank, if you paid better attention, he was referring to the "sarcastic genius" role that Cumberbatch plays in every freaking movie he's in. Same worn out premise that Laurie does.
...Did you not see many movies in the 90s?
Yeah there are more bad ones now, but don't let nostalgia shade your memories of just so, so much awful garbage.

The heroes are whoever the target demographics are. The film makers are just trying to tick as many boxes as possible to maximize profits.
Gawd, I hate idiots.
In the eighties this was the rule. In Every movie with: Stallone, Charles Bronson, Steven Seagal, Van Damme and others.

Transformers series are the worst merchandising ...
