Genre

Sorry why is this classified as a contemporary fantasy and not just science fiction comedy? This isn't high art it's a Ryan Reynolds comedy, the genre should match. AlienChex (talk) 04:31, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-== Millie gives the rights to her code to Antwan: ==
-This keeps getting changed, and it is confusing, but she explicitly gives Antwan the rights to her code:
-*Millie:  Look, I just want the world that I built and the people in it.
-*Antwan:  What's in it for Antwan?
-*Millie:  Everything else.
-*Antwan:  Meaning? Pretend I'm dumb.
-*Millie:  You have the rights to our code, keep all the profits, just give me what's left of Free City.  Let me build my own world from there.
-*Antwan:  What about Free City 2? Free City 3?  And all pursuant spin-offs?
-*Millie:  All yours. Just put down the axe.
-Antwan has the code and the rights to it.  [[User:Chaheel Riens|Chaheel Riens]] ([[User talk:Chaheel Riens|talk]]) 19:56, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
-: Please note the [[WP:FILMPLOT]] guidelines which say the Plot section should be 400-700. If you do not follow that guideline your changes will keep getting rewritten. -- [[Special:Contributions/109.76.137.229|109.76.137.229]] ([[User talk:109.76.137.229|talk]]) 20:23, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

-::::Yes, but why are you telling me this, when my above edit didn't increase the word count, and my contributions here have consistently[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Free_Guy&diff=1049610990&oldid=1049558218] reduced[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Free_Guy&diff=1049181316&oldid=1049171003] the[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Free_Guy&diff=1049171003&oldid=1049152191] plot[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Free_Guy&diff=1049065137&oldid=1048997273] count?[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Free_Guy&diff=1048127953&oldid=1048023933]  One could almost assume that I'm familiar with not only the plot of this film, but also FILMPLOT as a policy?

-:If you mean an article for the character, similar to that of [[Mario]] or [[Indiana Jones (character)]] - probably not.  At the moment there's not enough justification or notability to warrant such an article.  It would almost certainly be a stub and nominated for merger back into this one.
-:You could always start an article in your own draft space, and see how that turns out though.  [[User:Chaheel Riens|Chaheel Riens]] ([[User talk:Chaheel Riens|talk]]) 18:32, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
-:: Please see [[WP:GNG]], it is highly unlikely that there enough to support any articles beyond this one. [[User:Chaheel Riens]] did make a great suggestion, you can learn more about creating [[WP:DRAFT]] articles and gather information in your own userspace draft page until some point in the future when maybe there there is enough information for a separate article. -- [[Special:Contributions/109.76.145.225|109.76.145.225]] ([[User talk:109.76.145.225|talk]]) 23:19, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
-== Production details and Uncharted ==
-This Start class article could do with some expansion. I tried to add more details to the Production section using reliable sources.
-Another editor started edit warring, repeatedly reverted my changes without any explanation.[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Free_Guy&diff=1057680486&oldid=1057676479][https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Free_Guy&diff=1057681757&oldid=1057681096] The other editor did not point to any Wikipedia guidelines as explanation but eventually in a [[WP:3RR|third revert]] the edit summary said the changes were "Overly detailed".[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Free_Guy&diff=1057682468&oldid=1057682321] and no further explanation was given. [[WP:BRD]] I guess I have to start a discussion.
-Adding more details seem like the normal way to improve an article. Wholesale reverting of multiple edits without any edit summary does not seem like a [[WP:GOODFAITH|good faith]] response to such changes. If [[User:Maxbmogs]] had made specific deletes or their own changes it would be understandable but this did not make sense.
-I'm willing to discuss deletes if editors explain their objections. The other revert of my changes to the Marketing section by {{User|Eik_Corell}} [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Free_Guy&diff=1057668919&oldid=1057668499] made some sense and I did try to do make a better version of that edit to address his concerns.[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Free_Guy&diff=1057676479&oldid=1057672960]  I understand that maybe Reynolds and Waititi joking about [[Green Lantern (film)]] maybe should be done differently and that may need further discussion, but the gag grabbed attention and I think it was key part of the early promotion of the film until the pandemic delayed everything. Maybe not as expensive as the Korg Deadpool gag but still a significant part of the promotion.
-What I still don't understand is reverts or deletes without explanation. [[User:Maxbmogs]] seems to object to mentioning that director Shawn Levy was working on [[Uncharted (film)|adapting a real video game into a film]] before this film, it seems relevant and it is reliably sourced. Levy even said "I feel like being liberated from literal adaptation was a gift" contrasting the development of Uncharted with Free Guy[https://variety.com/2021/film/news/free-guy-shawn-levy-ryan-reynolds-jodie-comer-1235028546/] and that is important to the Design of this film. -- [[Special:Contributions/109.79.161.174|109.79.161.174]] ([[User talk:109.79.161.174|talk]]) 01:49, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
-:I'm looking at the later revisions, and I do not see anything in that that I would call "overly detailed", and it is all reasonable sourced. This material should be included. --[[User:Masem|M<span style="font-variant: small-caps">asem</span>]] ([[User Talk:Masem|t]]) 02:51, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
-:: Thanks for your comment, I think it helped a lot. I waited a while and restored the text again.  User:Maxbmogs added a wiki link but did not comment. I guess my changes are acceptable (mostly) and are more likely to be rewritten than deleted entirely. I think the Production section needs more, of something, but I'm not sure what exactly, so  if I get any good ideas I might try adding more in another few weeks. -- [[Special:Contributions/109.79.164.223|109.79.164.223]] ([[User talk:109.79.164.223|talk]]) 00:18, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

-Please see [[WP:FILMGENRE]]. Please show your sources before adding genres. Please try to stick to the primary genre.
-An editor removed all the genres from the intro[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Free_Guy&diff=1062053172&oldid=1062053056]
-The Deadline reference and Syfy reference that were/are in the intro call the film an "action comedy" and a "comedy" so I added those genres back.[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Free_Guy&diff=1062130458&oldid=1062053297] There are many other possible genres that this could be classified under but we cannot and should not mention them all, these two seem like the most important. -- [[Special:Contributions/109.78.199.36|109.78.199.36]] ([[User talk:109.78.199.36|talk]]) 10:39, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
