But GAH. THANK YOU *random caps* You finally said the right thing for me to concisely vocalize (or type) what I meant. I obviously didn't make sense last night because not too many people understood what I was trying to say.
It boils down to the question of why people would take a story where the romance or possibility of romance is a subplot and make it the MAIN plot when obviously that is the the end game for the story?
Does that make more sense? The theme of Lord of the Rings is not the story of Aragorn and Arwen finally becoming a couple. It's primarily Frodo's journey and the struggle within himself.
That is not the best example because LOTR has many themes. But do I make any sense at all? LOL
