I totally, wholeheartedly agree. There's so many unexamined assumptions about what fiction is supposed to look like and do. Realism in fiction is an aesthetic construct, a stylistic choice, not a mandate.

Agreed. Although, I do get annoyed when something doesn't have internal consistency with itself. But I don't expect realism in everything. That would be boring.

Alternate approach: “I don’t think this couple has any chemistry outside the wacky hijinks. They’re not very interesting to watch.”

That's not just an alternate approach - it's a totally different argument

I think this a lot, especially when it comes to comedy. People have different thresholds for when the lack of realistic behavior intrudes on their ability to enjoy something though, especially when it reminds us of real-life misconceptions and generalizations.

[(Anonymous)]

LOL! Agreed. I mean sure, sometimes it's fun to get all meta but I think people get a weird charge out of over analyzing stuff and then congratulating themselves on their real-ness or whatever.

[(Anonymous)]

It's interesting.
In a similar way, I see all of these people complaining about the new little mermaid film with a non-white Ariel. Others are stating (and fair enough) that mermaids ah don't exist to begin with? Dancing underwater creatures?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, but if you employ genre savvy-ness to romantic comedies, pretty soon you start noticing how formulaic and cliched and shallow they tend to be.

So they lose either way.

I grew up watching soap operas where couples make up and break up left and right and you've got people who have married into the same family five different times. There was one soap where a guy found out in his forties that his father was not his biodad and went on to fall in love with his half-sister...a half-sister who was originally believed to be his daughter and was named after him. Despite the fact that story still has many, many, many fans, Im pretty sure no one actually boned their sisterdaughters over it lol

TLDR, it's okay to enjoy things without writing a five page essay on the things that are problematic.
