I am avoiding watching it because I heard from many sources that it's lifeless, boring, and just not a good movie.

Does the kiss advance the plot?

As much as a kiss does in any other non-romance movie.

So... seems like there is no reason for it to be there except to push a narative

Maybe. The love shared and life lived by the character is important to the story.

Yea, sounds like it wasnt needed.

Nope, not needed. The entire movie is not needed.

The narrative that gay couples exist?

Doubtful. Most movies could have kisses removed with zero impact on plot...except ones like First Knight.

I decided I wasn't going to see it when I saw that Tim Allen wasn't Buzz

I honestly wouldn't have expected Tim Allen

Why isn’t Tim Allen buzz?

Pretorian

6/26/22 4:16pm

So the movie has a big star as the lead, no other reason

And Tim Allen's voice is a little old. And it's not the exact same character.

Sure, cause a complete redo of a movie is the exact same thing.

I’m skipping it because it looks dumb and I’ve heard from many people that it’s dumb
