They don’t make rom-coms or love movies like they used to. Why is that??

[Bryan Danielson]

What happened to the genre that I love

Because these young kids don’t know what love is no more

This. Anyone but you was a big hit in theaters

Didn't realize the movie did that well. shyt was mid af. Chick's titties are worth the watch on mute I guess.

nikkas in this bytch talking bout “love is dead” y’all sound like some tragic Shakespearean characters

 

[Sad Bunny]

Rom-coms with a sci-fi angle like Palm Springs or raunchy comedy like No Hard Feelings were also cool.

Those were good!!!

 

[Sad Bunny]

check out past lives, it's a love movie, oscar nominated last year

also, upgraded and musica on prime, both are rom coms

I liked upgraded more than the sweeney movie this year

Past Lives might restore the feeling. Thanks

I was thinking of this, but I kinda threw it in the raunchy comedy genre than rom com

I don’t know if that’s really a romcom. I got the vibe the two leads were just friends.

 

[Kliq_Souf]

is Barbie considered a rom-com?

 

[Deltron]

I don’t know if that’s really a romcom. I got the vibe the two leads were just friends.

I think that's how it ultimately ends. But I only watched it once in the theater

Comic book movies happened. The focus shifted.

All the great comic book characters.
in print to film are all love stories.
Disney is just inept and has a complex built on patricide. From stealing kimba to make simba.

All rhe great cartoon characters that are goated. Are all in hof relationships.
Like character models of the best women ever.


Hawkeye & mockingbird = Westcoast avengers

Spidey & gwen
Spidey & Mary jane

Rick hunter & min Mei & Lisa Hayes = the goat had two females


Flint & lady Jaye = goat joe. That Halle berry exists as a star.
Simply because she is lady Jaye came to life

Link& zelda = coming of age cartoon where link was trying to smash all day...excuse me princess. Love that show and adore link and zelda. They even live together in totk.

He-man & tela

Flash Gordon & dale

Prince baron & ming's daughter

Princess bride

Man at arms & sorceress

Mario & princess

King randor & heman mama

Donald duck & daisy duck

Goofie & clarabell

Duke = cover girl after Scarlett cucks Duke for snake eyes

Batman & catwoman

Peter pan & Wendy

Mickey mouse & Minnie mouse

Popeye & olive oil: the Popeye song where olive skinnie ass.
sings about Popeye is hof greatness.




One of the greatest simple moments in cinema with a song.


rocky & goofie simple ass adrian.


Thing & Alicia masters : she was blind and loved thing dirty rocky drawers.

Xavier & lilandra

Black panther & storm



Cyclops & jean
Havoc & Polaris
Eric draven & Shelly

Keith from voltron & princess Alora = voltron

Even though I hate this particular character..as it undermined gi Joe's leadership dynamic and focus.
Falcon & jinx = gi joe


The first complex relationship of a generation of morality


Han solo & leia

Luke & mara jade


Daredevil & Electra

Reed & sue Richards = hall of fame marvel archetype

Dr strange & his woman

Tony & pepper = ironman

Prince charming & sleeping beauty = best prince character model in Disney's entire history

Starlord & gamorra

Cinderella & prince

Barbie & ken

If the main leader hero character does not have a girl.
fukk that goofie ass character.

He not no hero worth a cot damn.

Nor is their story.
or arc worth a cot damn.

Tired of rhis lame bullshyt characters they keep trying to make.


Give us a hero and his woman.

Or keep that bullshyt.

Urban fashion is not even relevent.

Without... Mickie swooning over Minnie.
Rockin a three stripe track suit.
on yo baby yo shirts.

Give us heroes and their girl.
or nobody wanna see that lame guy weirdo bullshyt.

Past Lives might restore the feeling. Thanks

just going to tell you this based on your posts and while we're in a rom com thread lol

in the lead up to June 2023, when the movie was relased, I ran into on average, one romantic interest from the past per month, so much that I made a list. First love, last love, dozen in between, So many coincidences. Like long shot run ins and chance encounters. Seeing each other on the street on the same corner. Then, I see Past Lives. The run ins stop. Then a few months later I meet someone in the most dramatic romantic way, like eyes catching and barely having to say anything, all in the eyes--- and have the hottest affair of my life. and her name is the same as the lead in Past Lives.

I know you can frame anything and connect it to movies, or Drakes songs, or astrology or whatever, but even writing that down, I just barely realized it's the same name.

all straight to streaming...comedy is damn near an auto flop at theaters now

 

[MushroomX]

Streaming Killed It. Matt Damon explained it easily during his Hot Ones. Movies in the Theaters didn't need to solely rely on Theaters for money, if a film did bad, it had a 2nd Life on VHS/DVD in which it made the remaining money. Now movies rely on Theatres only for cash, which for Romantic Comedies is a death bell because those types rarely bring in cash at the box office but relied on DVD sales; like The Notebook.
