Franchise: *Presents a race of creatures entirely designed as monstrous and violent antagonists*
Me: But what if… they had an economy… and… art history… also a thriving literary culture.
Franchise: *gives one throw away reference to something that implies cultural bonds or societal advances that is clearly meant as a funny ha-ha joke because it is incongruous with said species’ “deranged and monsterous” nature in canon*
