I don't think Twisters lacking a kiss scene is part of the same conversation as Gen Z being adverse to gratuitous sex/nudity and or the availability of pornhub, both of which are probably true enough on their own. Rather, I think the trope that a male lead and a female lead HAVE to get together by the end of a movie has become kind of tired if the audience doesn't totally buy it, and people are more receptive and supportive of the idea that a man a woman can have a platonic relationship. They mention the kiss was kinda polarizing for test audiences, and I admit I myself was kinda polarized, and I'm not Gen Z. I admired that the characters worked through their differences and became allies, but I wasn't totally sold on a romantic connection, and then the movie literally does the "man runs through the airport/train station/whatever as woman is about to leave to confess his love and kiss her" cliche. Didn't hurt the movie for me, but I didn't need it.

Maybe we are going too far the other way I don't remember the theater exactly turning into the splash zone at Sea World when they kissed. Of course now that we got the version where they don't kiss, the people that would have liked it are being vocal about it. But a significant portion must not have or else they wouldn't have cut it. And movies still have romantic relationships. |

I think it was a mistake to cut it at the end. The movie didn’t need any big streamy sex scene. But at the end they set up a little mini run to the airport scene. It was all set up to lead to a kiss, but instead they essentially just had a very firm handshake. Honestly it felt awkward with them taking it out.
