  • I don't understand why you got so much hate either.

    I find the idea somewhat silly and a bit self contradicting, I'll explain why but first, to answer your question, no, I don't know of any romance movies where the MC is a tatebro asshole.

    Why it's a silly idea: if the MC is such an asshole then it's probably not going to be romance but you would instead have a solid drama/thriller plot device there. She thinks he loves her but instead she gets abused and that's the point of the story.

    You could say though, that it's a romance story in which the male love interest is an incel tatebro asshole and somehow we get a character arc in which he sees the errors of his ways and actually changes, but I'm not sure this would make for a good movie. Perhaps a romantic comedy with some fantasy/magic elements which would explain why he can change so drastically. Something like 'Shallow Hal' would be an example for this category (and not a good movie btw) and the best runner up for your original question. But I still think as a plot idea it would be tacky at best. You'd need some solid writing to pull that off.
