Genre

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[1] 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.[2] 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. -- 109.78.199.36 (talk) 10:39, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

An editor removed all but one genre from the lead.[3] It was not either of the two genres I previously restored based on the existing sources. It is not clear how that editor decided that science-fiction was the sole single primary genre best suited to describe this film. It would be helpful if the reasons for the choice of genre could be made clearer, otherwise people are just going to add more genres. Based on the two previously mentioned sources "comedy" would seem to be the most appropriate genre if we have to pick just one. -- 109.79.175.86 (talk) 21:52, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Editors have not explained their changes and have restored aggressive warning comments[4] despite no sources and no consensus. Other editors have gone ahead and changed the genre anyway.[5] I have reverted the genres back to the two genres "action comedy" which the first two sources in the article seem to support. I'm only trying to pick the genre that the sources suggest, and if editors believe some other genre should be used then please show your sources already. -- 109.77.204.119 (talk) 17:13, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
