Re: OP

I just cannot see why so many books have superfluous romances in them

Because to the author (or without getting too existential) the characters, it's not superfluous.

Especially in a post-apocalyptic world, to some types of people, love and family is all they have left to look forward to. While I'm not going to argue that some movies and books have shit timing when it comes to romance (or sex, I mean really, fucking in an abandoned house before checking for zombies/mutants/whatever is just plain stupid), but the idea of romance and 'continuing on like normal' is a pretty human thing to do regardless of the circumstances.

And this is coming from someone who often gets annoyed when romance gets shoe-horned into her explosion/car-chase films. Except Red. Because Red was fucking awesome.

This is an excellent point. When the world-as-they-know-it ends, it makes sense that characters would cling all the harder to whatever human bonds they have or can establish, both for morale reasons (to maintain some sort of hope for the present and future) and because in a post-apocalyptic scenario, you need people who care about your survival and want to look out for you. A romantic partner is high on the list of people who want to make sure you don't die.

Red as in that Bruce Willis movie?

Yes.

And Helen Mirren. And explosions. And guns. And snark.

(Psst: Based on a Warren Ellis comic.)

Re: OP

[comma_chameleon]

Is the comic good/better than the film (as a great deal of adaptations are)? I knew it was based off of one, but I haven't read it.

Re: OP

I've not actually read it myself, but it's Warren Ellis, so it's probably not shit -- if a bit insane and with some generally vicious (if funny) dialogue.
