Default Re: Do you like if there is animosity and trash talk between the characters?

I guess I"m going to be the spoiler with the reality here. Fighting takes up energy (duh!), and in real life, you are going to be too busy catching your breath than taking time (time is another factor, because fights are over quickly) to say something other than one-word insults. When the fight is finished, that would be a more appropriate time to say something clever/snarky/stupid, whatever.
Trash talk dialogue works in comic books, but not in the movies, or a written story.
Animosity though, would depend on the story itself. Is it two strangers? Two friends turned enemies? A contest? The last people on earth struggling over resources? Map out the situation, and you get your answer.
