Absolutely 100% true conversation overheard at a theater showing of The Fellowship of the Ring:
Guy 1: Wow, that ending sucked!
Guy 2: Well, it's not really an ending; Lord of the Rings is a trilogy.
Guy 1: Oh, so how many movies are there going to be?
See, this is the kind of situation where it's OK to kill people with karate.
Interestingly, up until his last expression, this conceivably isn't a "Gabe is dumb" comic. Okay, one can make an accusation that Gabe is dumb, or at least ignorant, for not reading the novel in the first place; certainly, cartoon Tycho might make the accusation. But I'm assuming Gabe is largely dumb in this case because he doesn't know what a book is about, despite the blatantly obvious name. That is, he doesn't get that "The Time Machine" is about a Time Machine.
But imagine if you were in a similar situation. A friend mentions that he's reading a book called "The Spaceship," and you ask what it's about. Now, presumably, you can guess that it's about a spaceship. However, given how broad the science fiction genre is regarding spaceships, you could just as easily be asking about specifics regarding that spaceship. Is the book about a Star Trek style exploration vessel? A single person's adventures using a spaceship? A history of the world's first spaceship? All are possible, given the title, just as the "Time Machine" could be anything from the original Jules Verne novel to a more soft science fiction adventure through time or even a non-fiction study of the viability of such an invention.
But then you see Gabe's face light up at karate and it just becomes "lol Gabe is dumb," so never mind.

But Mr. Miyagi said that it was only for defense. Now I don't know what to believe.

A person who says the things this "Guy 1" is saying is attacking you with his stupid.

Makes sense. I'll use the crane technique. According to Miyagi, "no can defense". So it must be good.

To be fair, The Time Machine has more to it than just a time machine. In fact, the time machine is merely a supporting character. The main character is the morlok that drank the experimental formula and got super intellectual (i.e. he wore glasses with stylish sophisticated frames).
Climb up those stairs on your hands motherfucker. And do it in a montage.
