Ah, I completely misread your comment. Sorry about that! I definitely agree with what you're saying, though I'll admit again that I'm not the best guy to really ask about this kind of thing since I don't think there's really much to analyze under a critical lens. Like, the most I can really say is that hatred for these types of references stems from hating the overall product doing the referencing because they often do so in a way that bastardizes the thing they reference at worst, or at best simply make the audience wish they were watching the thing being referenced instead.
