Re: Let's talk about romance plots!

(Anonymous) 2014-01-22 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
People act like romantic love is the be-all end-all, but I think it's important but not all there is to life. So as a compliment to a family story, or an action story, or a mystery, sure! Great! But if the only conflict is romantic conflict? Snooze city.

I agree with whoever said The Mummy was a great example of romance subplot done right. Thor is the worst I've ever seen.

I don't mind it in my sci-fi or action, but if I'm yelling at the screen "STOP CANOODLING holy shit you are about to get EATEN by a GIANT ROBOT!!1" then you're not doing it right. I actually liked the romance in Transformers, but their mushy talk was ill-timed. Pacific Rim was subtle and good. I liked in the Chanur novels that there was a touch of romance but always with accompanying "I don't have time for this shit, deal with your drama after I have finished deciding the political fate of this whole region of space." (I also liked that the menfolk were considered emotionally unstable and good only for fighting and sexing, before they started to realize oh hey maybe men do have brains, but that's another story)
