I completely agree with you, OP, and for exactly the reasons you outlined.

It's kind of bizarre how bad most popular film writers, in particular, are at writing romance in a way that ever cuts very deep.

There are so many striking / poignant / angsty / joyous / sensual / erotic / painful/ bold / delicate ways to depict romantic feeling between two characters. Fanfic proves that. Meanwhile original fiction mostly just plods along, sticking to the same handful of basic, overused tropes.

There are exceptions of course. I think the first two seasons of The Office (US) were extremely good at exploring the bond between Jim and Pam in ways that fit all of the descriptors I listed above. And I loved the emergent relationship between John Connor and Cameron on T:SCC, specifically because it was so integral to the greater plot.

But for the most part I'll always turn to fanfic for my romantic fix, because it's the only place where I can reliably find the kind of in-depth exploration of an emotional bond that I crave.
