Topic: Should there be more Romance in today's Brickfilms?
While many brickfilms these days have other issues beyond romantic elements, such as concept and plot, I still can't help but wonder if there should be more "romantic" brickfilms.
While we are talking about plastic lego men here, rest assured I do mean lighthearted romance...nothing that you wouldn't see in a PG or low-ended PG-13 rated film. And of course I suppose romantic comedies would work better in this medium. But even so, do you think a decently "serious" romance, meaning not comedic, could work well in a type of brickfilm? Why or why not? Do you think there should be more brickfilms that, don't only have a decent plot and concept, but also a decent amount of romance? Do you feel that romance could add more profundity to a brickfilm, or do you feel it just wouldn't work out no matter what?
State your opinion on this matter, and discuss. Feel free to add more than what this thread asks, or, feel free not to answer any of the questions and just post what you think in general. The idea was just to get some brain juices flowing, after all.
I think it's a topic worth discussing, but please do not take it the wrong way. I am not suggesting every new brickfilm should have romance, I am only suggesting there should perhaps be more ambition in today's brickfilms. More ambition to do more, and to go that "extra mile" while making a film of any kind.

Into the darkness once more. I walk into the unknown. To a far better life than I've ever known.
I for one am all in favour of more romance, but as you put, in a light-hearted fashion. Certainly Filmyguy's Valentine's day specials (1 and 2) were some of my most favourite brickfilms to date, and with some slapstick humor involved make for some funny films. At the same time it might be nice to see some more heartfelt animations, which while staying towards the more fun an cartoony side, could also have some nice moments.
