      I heard that that line was apparently seen as cringe or silly or something? And that’s why it got so popular? Which is weird to me, because I think it goes hard as fuck

        I don’t think that line in particular is seen as cringe, and it’s definitely the most iconic one–it’s more about the stark contrast between Richter’s wooden acting and Dracula’s incredibly hammy delivery (“I was called here by…HUUUUUUmans!”) all in service of some pretty cheesy dialogue. I do personally like that line, though!
