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]

-== Genre again ==
+== Genre ==
-An anonymous editor added more genres.[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Free_Guy&diff=1089680641&oldid=1089644220] Then another editor removed all but that recently added genre in a good faith effort to follow the [[WP:FILMGENRE]] guidelines and list only the primary genre.
-As I said previously (see [[Talk:Free_Guy/Archive_1#Genre]]) the primary genre is not clear so I looked at the reliable sources already included in the lead and used the genres they seemed to suggest, which was "action comedy". Other sources exist, and the genre can be made more clear we can go with something else. Please show sources. (Variety.com[https://variety.com/2021/film/reviews/free-guy-review-ryan-reynolds-1235035294/] for example manages not to mention sci-fi and instead calls it a "Meta-Video Game Rom-Com". The Hollywood Reporter[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/ryan-reynolds-in-free-guy-film-1234992584/] calls it an "adventure-comedy", and also a "video-game-inspired movie".) Again I'm happy to go with what the reliable sources say but it wasn't like any of them were all that certain about the genre. -- [[Special:Contributions/109.77.205.36|109.77.205.36]] ([[User talk:109.77.205.36|talk]]) 04:25, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
-: Other editors also seem fine with it[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Free_Guy&diff=1090562139&oldid=1090561392] so long as the [[WP:FILMGENRE]] guideline is followed and multiple genres are not listed. -- [[Special:Contributions/109.77.205.36|109.77.205.36]] ([[User talk:109.77.205.36|talk]]) 04:41, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
-== Antwan Hovachelik ==

-With regard to including "Hovachelik" - the argument against seems to be [[MOS:FILMCAST]], but this applies to the ''actor'', not the character played.  He is referred to as "Antwan Hovachelik" in the film itself, so that seems reliable enough for inclusion.  [[User:Chaheel Riens|Chaheel Riens]] ([[User talk:Chaheel Riens|talk]]) 21:30, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
-:But only once, not throughout the movie. Hence it is probably overkill. --[[User:Masem|M<span style="font-variant: small-caps">asem</span>]] ([[User Talk:Masem|t]]) 21:41, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
-::That doesn't mean his name is ''not'' Hovachelik though, which is the point.  Surely whether mentioned once, twice, or in every instance that doesn't detract from it being his name, and so a valid addition to the cast/character list?
-::The original removing edit summary said ''"Revert unsourced changes. Character is credited as Antwan. Not clear where full name comes from, or if it should be included at all"'' - I showed that the film itself is where it came from, and that actually being his name is as valid a reason for inclusion as just "Antwan", "Keys" or "Buddy" listed as character names.  [[User:Chaheel Riens|Chaheel Riens]] ([[User talk:Chaheel Riens|talk]]) 06:48, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
-::: I wanted to keep it simple and follow [[MOS:FILMCAST]], credit the cast as they appear in the end credits, and be done with it. But I do notice some larger inconsistencies in this article that should probably be addressed. The plot section unusually (and unnecessarily) explains explains the full names of "Keys" and "Millie". These are not important plot points. If the full names of the characters were all explained in the Cast/Characters section it would be less weird and inconsistent to also include the full name of "Antwan Hovachelik" in that section. -- [[Special:Contributions/109.79.168.110|109.79.168.110]] ([[User talk:109.79.168.110|talk]]) 13:38, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
-::::As I pointed out - FILMCAST refers to the ''actors'', not the ''characters'' they play - although I agree about fully naming them in the plot, but not in the cast section.  I'd support removal of full names from the plot, and only common-names to be used there, with full and avatar names in the castlist, unless the circumstance would make it confusing.
