Agreed, Tova. Leaving quite aside the fact that no doubt some good storylines could result from the current setup, I feel it's a shame that Jeph seems to be going quite so far out of his way to thumb his nose at the individual who e-mailed him complaining about the comic's relationships and annoyed him sufficiently to make him change the entire Brun/ Clinton/ Elliot scenario he (apparently) originally planned (according to BenRG here: https://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php?topic=34755)

--- Quote from: Gyrre on 01 Nov 2020, 17:09 ---I blame Hollywood. There are so few stable/healthy relationships in movies and so SO many examples of sequels where the pair that get together in tbe first movie get broken up off screen just so they can retread the romantic subplot. Usually much to the detriment of the narrative.
Are there any examples other than The Mummy and The Mummy Returns where that doesn't happen?

Why, The Matrix. Though, as we all know, there was only one movie.
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.
Star Wars.
Shrek.
Theres not many movies which have followups in the first place ... and if they do, they often dont have such romances in the first place. On Terminator, the man is killed before the end, and the second movie has no romance. Alien, first one has no romance, second and third one the man gets killed between movies. Bourne, the romance gets killed early in the second movie.
But this is definitely done often, and the worst example for this is actually Futurama. Many times they start a Fry and Leela romance in one episode only to have it completely wiped from everyones memory in the next episode, with no explanation whatsoever. Thats frankly very annoying.

Specifically in regards to the romantic subplot from the first movie in relation to how it's handled in the sequels. Though, yes Shrek did a pretty good job now that you mention it.
