    I won’t say these advices are entirely wrong, but I think there are other things that needs more focus 1) What is the goal of this dialogue? 2) What ‘realistically’, would this character actually say? Forced humor kills, just look at Marvel’s examples. A meaningless dialogue is a waste of time. Understand why your character is going to talk and write it authentically. If there’s no reason for them to talk, literally don’t even write the scene.

    the movie old/new is really good. i thought heavy reliance on narration and dialogue can make the film really stale, cliche, and boring, but you found a new spin on it. You are a pretty good writer.
