I'm curious whether the response was in earnest, or whether the writer intended it as a satirical 'in-character' response (could you /hear/ comic book guy's voice as you read it?)

I agree, though, that they can be frustrating if used improperly: That was always a criticism of the 20+ seasons, which, especially with the CW-DC shows, got frustrating with all the forced-melodramatic b-plots (if not filler eps).
