Snarking at the stupid decisions of the characters is half the fun of horror movies.

Next; Montagues and Capulets seek cognitive behavioral therapy.
Wedding goes as planned. Juliet becomes an architect. Romeo works in the vineyard, cooks and cares for their nine children.

I was hoping the retort to "It's finally over!" would have involved something about years of difficult and expensive therapy to help them overcome the traumatic effects of all this senseless violence.
