Here's a quote used by media shills to defend crappy movies all the time: "[formerly great franchise] is now shitty. And why that's a GOOD THING."
Oh sweet summer child
Yeah we get it, we've all seen Game of Thrones, too. If you have to be a condescending dick, at least be original.
I use that sometimes on my kids. But I've never seen GoT. That phrase WAY predates that show.

in Dutch we have the saying "act normal, then your already weird enough' I fucking hate that quote so much
"It is what it is." It's such a meaningless truism* and almost always comes across as dismissive of the person you're speaking to. Just say, "It sucks but we have to get through it," or "We can't change this situation" or something else. Literally any alternative. Please!
