Hold on, do you think most music has romantic subplots?
Because the original argument is that a movie about giant robots fighting doesn’t necessarily need a romantic subplot tacked on. It’s not saying a Valentines Day romance movie needs to stop shoving romantic plots down our throats.
Maybe I’m just not well versed enough in music, but as far as I know, music producers aren’t out there saying, “and now the big kiss… and moving on”.
Unleash The Archers’ concept album Abyss, the sequel to Apex, has a romantic subplot. Also it’s gay. In the process of defeating the Matriarch, the Immortal falls in love with Earth and Ash, and then loses him. After the Immortal is freed from his curse, he hears Earth and Ash’s voice in his head, telling him not to fall to the same corruption as did the Matriarch.
