That "laugh at them/kill them" thing has been in a lot of TV shows recently to the point it feels very manufactured.
Legion series 3 had Sydney tell it to David/Legion in the first episode for some random reason, although considering the various characters in that show Syd was possibly the most pants on head retarded.
For example at one point Syd is talking to her younger self and the topic of the time young Syd sexualy assaulted her mother's date/boyfriend comes up. Background info is Syd had the power to become someone for a while and so "swaps bodies" with her mother, climbs into the shower with the date, and has sex with him. During this the date turns her around so she is facing away from him and the younger Syd asks why he did this.
Ignoring the whole point about how she deceives the date about who she really is, which then gets turned around on him after somehow, when you are both standing up, in a shower or otherwise, the anatomical and mechanical requirements for sex mean that a position where the woman is facing away from the man are needed. Because otherwise penetration isn't very likely to happen. Instead this gets explained away as men treating women in certain ways, rather tha than the truth of Syd being a complete moron, which is a running theme in the show.
Another example deals with how the show ends. Pretty much everything bad that happened to David/Legion is due to a very shitty childhood where his father, Charles Xavier, wasn't around. So to fix things time travel happens and this gets changed. While this does at least change David's life, for better or worse we never find out, it does absolutely nothing for Syd who only met David when he was 30 or something after he entered a mental hospital.
Syd still grows up to be a moron. She still fucks her mother's date. She probably still ends up in the mental hospital except this time David won't be there to help her get out!
But as I said, Syd being a moron is a running theme in the show so having her spout that laugh/kill line is perfectly in character because it's pants on head retarded.
