Reply to comment by Rezindez in I really really wish Smile left out 99% of its jump scares by thestrangerrd

I could not disagree with this more.

Jump scares take what could be actually compelling scenes/movies and turn them into haunted house rides: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=p0Vc9_f4ByA&t=2s

Saying "I like jump scares" is like saying "why would I pay for an expensive steak when a McDonalds burger will fill me up?"

Steak fucking sucks. It has no flavor, it’s just the flavor of meat. McDonald’s hamburgers are legitimately better, as are all hamburgers, as are all dishes with more ingredients.

I want to feel the maximum at every second. Horror movies should have loads of atmosphere, and jump scares, and everything good in the world that’s imaginable. None of it is mutually exclusive.

I'm not sure how Reddits feeling about Rick and Morty quotes at the moment, but

"feels like that guy had other stuff going on"

I mean, you just like overstimulation. That's okay. We like different things is all.
