They probably wouldn't be as bad if they weren't so rushed and poorly done. Superhero movies in particular suffer from that shyt.

And I don't buy the whole "They do it to bring women into those movies" bullshyt either. From what I can tell women hate that bullshyt too. It's just some of that dumb ass Hollywood bullshyt logic that they create and perpetuate.

Hollywood also claims film with predominantly non white casts can't make money, even though Fast and Furious is one of the biggest franchises going and there's only one white person with a major role.

Cloverfield was believable breh. I'd go back for my ex girlfriend. One in particular. Its stupid but, I would :patrice:

:ANYWORD:

nikka, not me. Unlikely I'd go try to :cape: an ex-girlfriend risking my homies lives in the process but if I did and I came up to the part where I see her apartment building doing a domino lean on another building about to collapse... I quit, fukk I look like trying. Gonna find a rescue helicopter and dip. :yeshrug:

Star Wars Episode II - Attack of the Clones

Anakin and Padme's "romance" used up an hour of the movie.

Take out that hour, and you have a pretty decent movie.

Cloverfield was realistic because it was established from the jump that the main guy was simp. Before shyt even jumped off he was all heartbroken about the girl and shyt.


What was unrealistic was his friends following him the entire time. Especially that one girl that barely knew them.

One film that had a romantic sub plot and handled it well was actually Captain America: TFA.

It never dominated the movie and never felt NEARLY as forced as it did in most movies. They never even got together in that movie, but they showed there was a mutual attraction there.

The worst example I've seen; Stealth (with Cloverfield as a second)

I caught it on DVD. I was watching, thinking, this movie isn't half bad...until the end...

When dude went ALLLLLL the way back to save Jessica Biel

:smh:

Cloverfield

Could have focused more on the what the army felt about the monster

instead they wasted it on that sucided mission, goin' through a leaning building to go through another and save an impaled Beth :dry:

:smh:
I'm watching Hancock right now and the relationship between Will and Charlize Theron just threw everything off. The movie had some other issues (no white superhero would go to jail over destroying property while saving people) but this shyt goes downhill once they introduce the romantic twist and that garbage about them staying away from each other to keep their powers.
I totally agree about everything but that.

The dope thing about that movie is; this is how a superhero would REALLY be treated in 2013 America (jail, PR, hated on even though he saves lives, etc.).

If anything; they should have had a angle of his people comin' to get him and bring him "back home." :ohmy:


That got me thinking about other movies being similarly affected, and Flight came to mind right away. I didn't see any real reason to have Denzel fall in love with the coked out white chick. I doubt that I'm the only one whp would have much rather seen him repair things with his ex-wife and son.

I still love Flight but I leaned back like :why: once I realized why they introduced the white woman.

What other movies got derailed by this nonsense?

Nah, this is one of the few movies were it was natural.

After he went to jail at the end, that was the his only real chance at redemption.

Early on; he would have just ruined his son's and ex-wife's life.

Dude had to go through it, in order to really win, in life.

I thought it sucked and made me wanna throw up but it was essential. They were Luke's parents..

There's a GIGANTIC ass monster rolling around New York The military is having problems even stopping it. Skyscrapers are cut in two and the thing THROWS THE fukkING HEAD OF THE STATUE OF LIBERTY LIKE IT WAS A BASEBALL, and and and and, some sort of mutant fleas that are 6 feet tall who treat humans like delicious tic tacs are ALL over New York. You telling me you would really go back and climb a building that's literally cut in half to save your EX girlfriend?

No p*ssy in the world is that delectable.:comeon:

I remember seeing this is the theaters and people were actually saying, "Is he really going back? Seriously?" Not on some, "Oh my, what a courageous and loving man", but on some "This stupid fukk is actually going back".

Nobody mentions Thor?:wow:
Yup. Never seen a love angle be forced in so hard. I gave zero fukks about her and I hoped that the Destroyer incinerated her ass so she wouldn't be in the fukking sequel.

This is how I felt while watching Thor:

Natalie Portman: "I....I think I love you..."
Thor: "Cool! Well alright!.....So...about my Hammer so I can get the fukk out of here, you can lead me to it, right?"

And if you're going to have a love interested in Thor, make it fukking Lady Sif. At least with her you have a fukking warrior still fighting. Natalie Portman's character just made me want to go take a shyt.


Now, it's not that I don't like love or hate women like some of you not-understanding-the-topic-at-hand nignogs say, it's just that I hate when it's in a movie for the sole purpose of attracting women (which shows that studios think women are a bunch of one dimensional emotional sponges...not a good look), and it bogs down or makes the movie laughable. Especially in action driven movies:

Did Transformers need a love interest? Hell, did it even need humans?

Iron Man 1 was better because the tension between Pepper and Tony was kept at that, tension.

Spider-Man. All of them.:snoop:

That's why I liked Avengers. The only love interest in that was Hulk's love to smash shyt up.

fukking Drive is almost ruined by this. Sadly it's one of the main plot points and takes up half the movie. :beli:

half ? more like two thirds.

out of that two thirds most of it is gosling just sitting there staring somewhere far, not saying shyt and music playing :heh:

That shyt is supposed to be a part of Spider-Man movies. They just went about it in a horrible way. They tried to do a whole Superman/Lois Lane thing with Spidey and MJ, and then they had MJ acting like a straight bytch in the last two raimi films.

He was a simp at the end of the first movie. Remember he came back from the dead just because she said she loved him.
