So much of modern genre fiction is like
"Commander Voltaxxx was as angry as a Bogorian Angerhino. He slammed his fist down angrily and madly growled "I'm so mad!" angrily. The mist oak table shook under his aggressive emotion like a jigglebush in a spell wind."

Okay everybody knows Stranger Things got the name Vecna from D&D
