Most people actually prefer stable and happy relationships with little to no drama in fiction. Or at least less "will they, won't they" nonsense.
If a male character is respectful towards women and is being called a "cuck", "simp", "eunuch" or other terms you can find on an incel forum, chances are he's actually being written well.
It ultimately comes from how the relationship evolves over time.
What annoyed the crap out of me with a lot of CW show relationships (not strictly romance) is how the writers love to reset everyone's relationships. They seem like they're bonding and getting closer, and then something happens which brings them back to square one.
That's what always annoyed me about Kara's relationship with Lena in Supergirl. Will she be friends with Supergirl or will she follow in her brother's footsteps? You're not any closer to knowing than you were in Season Two.
By contrast, in Castle, Castle and Beckett's relationship never goes back to their Season One dynamic. Whether or not they will or they won't, you know that each trial brings them closer to an endgame.
More entertaining and original than your posts in the wrestling thread.
Anywho, my controversial opinion is that Revenge of the Sith is my favorite Star Wars movie. Though, general consensus of the movie seems to becoming more favorable so that opinion probably isn't as controversial as it once was.
Ha, that was maybe harsh, but I got tired of people disingenously re-appraising the prequel trilogy purely to drag the new trilogy - which I don't think is what you're doing. Obviously the problems with both sets of films are well discussed and documented by now.
I think if anything was the worst part of Star Wars, then it was Jabba.
I, personally, don’t think things like Watchmen or The Boys have one singular point that makes it valid for people to say “but you missed the point!”
