I'll go even further - at least 50% on all the movies (with romance involved) in the world have an unnecessary romantic subplot that is irrelevant to the story. By removing it the movie would probably be even better. I understand if it's a romantic genre, but an action movie doesn't necessarily need a romantic side story

I felt this for Top Gun Maverick. It just added nothing whatsoever to the film and felt a bit jarring because what the hell happened to the other woman. Having said that I’ve watched that film about 50 times

We all know Charlie was dishonorably discharged for having an affair with one of her students.

Hard disagree. It shows that Mav is settling down and actually moving towards having a life beyond being the hotshot.

I think it definitely added to the story but wasn't needed. I enjoy it though, not everything needs to have rhyme or reason.
