hellotailor:“There’s a chasm of emotional difference between romance as a genre. and the mediocre romantic subplots you see from action/adventure writers in superhero movies.The worst examples simply don’t bother to articulate why two characters should be together. Thinking back to the Dark Knight trilogy, did you really care about Bruce Wayne and Rachel Dawes? No. The story works best if we view Rachel as an unattainable symbol of a life that Bruce left behind—not as a compelling romantic partner. When Bruce finally elopes with Catwoman, it’s implausible to the point of total nonsense. The creators of the Dark Knight trilogy didn’t understand romance, and they couldn’t create a three-dimensional female lead.”- Why so many superhero movies are bad at romance -- source link
