How come we expected a film in a dead genre during a bad time for movie theaters to be everything queer people hoped for when 99.” The news comes a day after Lord of the Rings IP broker Thomas Dey took a Mipcom Cannes audience inside Embracer Group’s mega deal for the franchise’s IP, which completed a few weeks ago. 9% of all the other movies in theaters just flat out ignore LGBTQ+ people and themes?  The romantic comedy genre is dead. Series star Ray Fisher came into conversation with the executive as a investigation into the circumstances behind-the-scenes with Geoff Johns and Joss Whedon began as well. Universal Pictures As far as genre movies go, few are as dead as the romantic comedies. While there have been a few standouts in recent years, like  Crazy Rich Asians  and The Lost City , those films succeeded on many other factors, with the rom-com aspects pushed to the back. It would seem like they're getting all their ducks in a row for a push now, but they've given indication that there was a plan before only to pivot time after time in quick succession. Whether it was using a best-selling novel to garner an immediate support base or simply marketing the film as a comedy with some romance, the few successes in the genre have basically let the film industry know that rom-com films are not where to make the money. Most of the success of rom-coms, especially queer ones, have been on streamers, like Fire Island , who did not have to depend on a massive traditional press cycle, while also letting the movie be more accessible, allowing the film to not need A-list actors to garner an audience. And as part of that, we're going to focus on quality," Zaslav explained after Batgirl got shelved. The press cycle for Bros  tried to placate its rom-com genre by marketing the film as"for everyone" and"a film to bring to your straight friends, too," while saying it was a revolutionary,"first of its kind" film, setting up high expectations for a film that ended up not making the bang it needed to.  Bros is a queer rom-com in the age of"firsts. We're not going to release a film to make a [financial] quarter, we're not going to release a film [if it's not working]." Universal Pictures Bros , the movie was good, but not a masterpiece. In the run-up to its release, the consensus from the marketing was that this movie was revolutionary.?At the last DC FanDome, Hamada explained why they decided to go the multiverse route. To its credit, the film is a rarity being an LGBTQ+ film released by a major studio, something that hasn't really been done save Love, Simon . However, after seeing the movie, it's hard to praise the merits of aspects like its all-queer casting, when 95% of the dialogue is done by two cis-white gays, one whose character is basically a buff, masc,"I'm not like those other gays" gay. But, could also expand to projects like Matt Reeves' Batman without worrying about continuity strands between the two projects. When the film is constantly being praised in the marketing for its all-LGBTQ+ cast, it just feels weird when some genuine talents like TS Madison, Miss Lawrence, Dot Marie-Jones, and Bowen Yang have barely any lines in the few scenes they show up. When the marketing makes the film seem like  Bros  is the start of a new era and the film ends just being a solid rom-com, it's a puzzling feeling."On one Earth we have this Gal and Jason and Ezra version of the JL and we can continue telling those stories, while on a separate Earth, we can have a more grounded, real, Year Two Batman, and build out that world and not really worry about continuity, story elements, and et cetera. Is it Billy Eichner's fault that he hyped up the queer aspects of this very queer film? I'm going to say no, as realistically, Universal Pictures probably coordinated every inch of the $20-plus million film in the same way it has done so with every other heterosexual film they put out. Billy Eichner and everyone involved did exactly what they needed to in creating a sound comedy and a touching romance, but sometimes, good enough just isn't good enough." 7commentsWhat do you think about this news? Let us know down in the comments!. A good film doesn't mean a good showing. Universal Pictures Bros  had a lot to overcome no matter what, but causes for concern were very present before a single review had come out. It's hard as a queer person to trust any major production that includes LGBTQ+ themes or characters, because the major film industry has earned no favors in the queer community. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, one of the biggest film franchises of all time, we had to wait for almost 20 films across two decades to even get A MENTION of a queer character, who in Avengers: Endgame  (another film that hyped up its"first" queer character) ended up being a one-minute cameo from an unnamed character with two lines and literally no name. Even now, we still get piecemeal representation sanitized down to be palatable to straight audiences. It doesn't get much better when you look at other studios, either. , that I highly recommend to those curious about just how egregious major film studios have been toward LGBTQ+ people. If you want the CliffsNotes, trans, bi, POC, and women are largely left out of the picture from studio films ( Bros  included). Independent films have a long history of including LGBTQ+ stories and themes, which opens queer people to seeing them, as experience shows that a film from a major studio with queer characters or themes rarely does a good enough job, whereas independent/mid-sized budget films are kinder to queer audiences. The marketing did .
