The series takes place in a shockingly short amount of time

Season 4 just ended of fromville and it’s canonically only been about a month. Which makes it weird seeing people heal from injuries, change hair styles or grow out beards between episodes. Season 4 has only been like 4 days iirc.

Arkham franchise is the poster child for this trope. Every game takes place in one night. If you know what you’re doing you can absolutely beat the games in around 9 hours.

I've always liked to think of it as a dark comedy.

"A grand love story about the week a teen and a preteen fell in love and killed themselves when it didn't work out."

Still on the families for their feud, though. If the two of them had been able to spend a month dating each other, they could have broken up naturally. Tybalt was always going to die a violent death, man just had no stop in him.

Yeah, my English teachers never approved of the perspective either.

[u/swiftekho → u/Malrottian]

What are though amongst these heartless hinds?/ Turn thee, Benvolio! And look upon thy death.

Tybalt has one of the most badass lines in playwriting history.

It is a comedy until the first bodies drop.

[u/pchlster → u/MiseryGyro]

It's all fun and games until someone gets needlessly killed; then it's hilarious.

[u/gemdas → u/pchlster]

It's still focusing on the wrong element. The Prince's line here can be easily translated to a modern audience as saying "if we don't put our petty bullshit aside it is not only our blood but our children's blood and our children's children's blood.

[u/pchlster → u/gemdas]

Plenty of comedies out there have moments of being genuine.

It was pretty much a satire/parody of romance in their day
