In the same way, I really dislike using references to popular movies or characters in code samples or sample projects, esp. if it is the official docs for a framework or something similar.

I see a ton of "battle of superheroes" kinds of apps that try to demonstrate cool stuff, like deploying distributed applications over multiple clouds/k8s distributions, using serverless, Istio, and who knows what. But I just can't get over the fact that such tutorials are not made for me, as I've not watched any superhero movie since I was ~10 years old.

This is why most of my cheeky references in test fixtures are from David Bowie lyrics. Almost everyone will recognize them, and if you don’t… congratulations, now you get an opportunity to be more familiar with David Bowie! No one doesn’t want that.
