Why did tumblr make the x files seem so romantic like i was expecting mulder being all romantic and stuff and being like the best boyfriend/husband material in the world then i watched the show and saw nothing of it where is all the romantic shit.
The X-Files is incredibly romantic, but itâs not going to be romance the way youâre used to seeing romance on television.Â
It is not going to be forced and it is not going to be fast. They are not going to fall into bed with each other in the first season or two, you are not going to listen to them profess their undying love to each other in so many words.Â
What you get are two people, two total opposites, put together with the intention of destroying each other but in turn, end up saving each other. You get to watch them grow from acquaintances, to friendly co-workers, to best friends, to lovers. But by the time they get there, by the time they get to the part that other couples on television seem to jump right into, it doesnât even matter because theyâre already each otherâs everything.
So you donât see them go on typical dates. But you see them bonding in shitty diners across the country, in rental cars on long stretches of dark highway, sitting on rocks in the water or on benches in small town America or on forest floors. They donât talk of their feelings in so many words, they donât use flowery prose to make sure the other person knows how they feel but they fight for each other, lie for each other, die for each other, go to battle together, be the only person the other person trusts.Â
So Mulder is not the best boyfriend/husband in the world but heâs the best partner Scullyâs ever had, the love of her life, the father of her child but heâs also her best friend. It is a foundation of trust, loyalty, respect before love even enters the equation.
And Scully is not the best girlfriend/wife in the world, but sheâs the only person whoâs ever made Mulder feel like heâs worth a damn, like he deserves something in this world.
So The X-Files is absolutely romantic and I think if you donât see that, then itâs because youâre looking for romance in all the wrong ways.Â
