->''"Many a story have been ruined by a lack of focus, like starting with a tale of [[TakeOverTheWorld world domination]], where a terrible villain has taken control and it's up to the plucky young hero to lead a resistance and free the world once again, only to halt the plot midway, introduce a love interest, and have the villain and his world domination scheme resolve neatly offscreen, all while the promised tale of a hero toppling a terrible tyrant jackknives into romance. And now, instead of following through on the initial conflict and seeing the hero storming the villain's [[SupervillainLair evil lair]], we're watching him meet his love interest's parents in a world that seems to have forgotten it had been conquered just a few days prior. In fact, this particular phenomenon seems to happen so often with independent works that I have been affectionately calling it Sudden Romance Syndrome, where the main narrative feels like it wants to be somewhere else but always shifts back to romance. Like if Franchise/JohnWick started his rampage of revenge against the man who killed his dog during the first half of [[Film/JohnWick the movie]], then just started dating a new love interest while the guy he wanted revenge against dies offscreen somewhere. You're essentially starting a new story from scratch in the middle of the story.''"

Romance and story filler about characters THAT NOBODY IN THE AUDIENCE CARES ABOUT. This is pure executive thinking. Who goes to a Marx Bros. movie to watch Zeppo and his ilk? Every second of the "story" makes you twitch around in your seat. Today we have huge budget animated features with nothing but Zeppos in them, and no Grouchos."
