I think for the “I'd die without you” statements it depends a lot on context. For a couple that has been together for fifty years, yes, that can be okay. Among high schoolers or similar, I'd go with creepy as well.
What I find kind of creepy: The super-elaborate, often public, surprise marriage proposal that comes without ever talking to the partner (usually woman) about it beforehand. It creates a situation where she can't say “actually I prefer us living together without being married” or “let me think about that for a bit” or similar without being the bad guy. Starting a life-long relationship by essentially guilting one partner into it has always seemed kind of weird to me (though obviously it depends a lot on context and the pre-existing relationship). |

It's as creepy as Kurtis Trent groping Lara at gunpoint and AoD fans consider that very romantic

People need to realize that there is world of difference between LOVING someone and being DEPENDANT on someone. Being dependant on someone leads to situations like battered wife syndrome where the victim won't let go of a partner who is absolutely abusive (both physically and mentally) towards them (and this applies both of Male and Female individuals.) The reason why they can't leave them is because they are so emotionally dependant on the person that they wouldn't know what to do with themselves without them. Its not a good state of mind. As for my input; I really can't stand how some movies and shows pertain to stalking as something innocent and harmless. I have been on the receiving end of it and I have to say that its anything BUT harmless. |

Ah, the double standards amusing.
——— I take the Kurtis scene for what it is, just a nod to both of them having chemistry and being sexually attracted to each other. It’d be way creepier in real life no doubt about it. It’s fictional though, and it worked, so nothing wrong, imo. I think movies/books/games and fictional works in general should be free to take creative liberties even when it comes to more controversial stuff. They just want to tell a story, it doesn’t really matter if it’s positive or negative as long as it fiction. |

Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if it turned out it was mostly just the cutscene animators idea or something, I know Saints Row 1 had to have it's ending altered because Julius's animations were broken so they had to replace his walking animation with him looking at his watch. |
