Okay yeah I guess by advance the plot I just meant important to the story. The first example, I don’t know fiction terms, I’d consider that advancing the plot but I guess it’s not, but nonetheless I’d consider that important to the story.
But yeah fair enough with the second point. Although gratuitous fight scenes can also get a little wearing yeah I don’t find them as offensively disruptive as sex scenes.
Probably part of it is I just don’t like romance too much, and reacting to the feeling that romances and sex scenes were forced into everything when I felt it was sort of unnecessary. But tbh I don’t watch a lot of movies these days, and the ones I do watch are usually older ones I know I’ll enjoy so I’m not sure if they still do this. I definitely remember feeling that way back in the day though.
