    It is being pushed more and more in the media… this is a perfect example. Simply making up shit all to hook a certain demographic.

    Back in the 80s, we had tons of tacked-on romantic interests added to movies for no good reason. Some action movie where the world is nearly obliterated, everyone you know is dead and a whole space army is chasing you - sure find a hiding spot and bang the girl you saved 2 hours earlier. Totally makes a ton of sense. These days certain people in the media are trying to push another narrative but it is just as tacked-on and cringy.

    It is especially ridiculous when the characters and the movie have nothing to do with romance.
