I'm not talking about the comic. This is not the comic. They have to make adjustments so it doesn't come across as a horrible B-movie type script. The script in a comic carries a different feel. I don't know why you're acting like you don't realize this yourself.
First of all, dropping the "fuck" makes the line inherently weak. You can't replace the word fuck in a moment like that. They should have made it a throwaway line then and ended on something else. Or if they really wanted to end it on that, get rid of that precursor line of "they're going to feel pretty stupid when they realize...". It's just SO douchey. I'm not a comic book reader but if I was, I would have made fun of it then. At least it makes a little more sense in a comic. In the TV adaptation, you gotta realize it comes off sounding fucking silly. It has to feel more natural on screen. I think you're alone (edit: nearly alone) on this one, Phil. Well I'm sure there are other fans that agree with you, but those ones are from a demo. you don't want to hear about.
