what's funny is you created that Gundam Live Action Movie thread

I’ve had that happen to me as well, I blame old age. Sometimes I’ll wonder if there’s a thread for something and after searching can’t find it. Then maybe another try later in the day and there’s some thread that already existed that I actually started. Makes me wonder if I originally created one while I was half asleep or something

Actually that description sounds pretty close to a rom com star. They’re always traumatized and kinda a total 💩head moody and socially withdrawn til they meet their special someone that’s supposed to turn things around. That’s all kinda the basic formula 

Unless something awful happened to romcoms while my back was turned, I think that's just the domain of a few specific actors whose films skew more comedy than romance like the ever-cringeworthy Adam Sandler.

You can bin most romantic comedy male leads in one of three basic categories: the Himbo, the Shy Guy who isn't really shy in any meaningful sense, and the Humorless Workaholic.  Traumatic backstories are usually fodder for the "serious" romance stories, especially fantasy romance stories.  

Definitely feels to me like Gundam's live action movie is kneecapping itself before it's ever reached the starting line with a terrible set of casting decisions.

I hate them, but my lady loves em. They seem to have more neurotic characters than they used to back in the simple 90’s. They often mix the usual problems of old with some kind of tragedy or horrifically toxic relationship that they need to escape from to find their true love. Most of the older ones had the boring dude with a boring over stressful job meeting a chaotic girlfriend that shows the guy how to be more exciting or whatever. It’s kinda flipped to where the people live absolute chaos and then meet the boring person in a small town and they end up living peacefully in the end

Oh, you're thinking of Hallmark movies.

The ones that all go "big city business girl with business boyfriend has to go to generic country town where she grew up before moving to the city and falls in love with some guy she just met because he's different from her stuffy big city boyfriend".

I wouldn't really say the leads in those are arseholes... they're just regular guys living the 9-5 life instead of making a quaint, folksy living farming christmas trees or whatever in a town so small the annual bake sale determines its continued existence.😅

 

That's not really Noah Centineo's bag.  He's more in the himbo comedy genre.
