    Unless you’re watching a romance movie there’s almost zero point to have a romance plotline.

    Pretty tired of the horror movies and action movies that just randomly throw in some love triangle or romance plot to try and make the actual plot more exciting, even though most of the time it makes no sense.

    Oh I met you three days ago? MARRY ME HANDSOME!

      I wish I could go tell this to that hack who wrote the “Iliad”. Like seriously you’re going to go and insert some stupid love shot into your kick arse war story? Oh and don’t even get me started on using the name Helen in a fantasy Greek setting, pffft.

        That’s a pretty bad example, since love is the reason that the war started to begin with, making it quite essential for the plot
