I just realized: Romeo climbs several times during the play in order to meet with Juliet. And the film puts a lot of emphasis on the fact that Noa is a good climber.
I hate you Rosaline (2022) I hate you & Juliet I hate you “RoMeO aNd JuLiEt wErE jUsT dUmB kIdS” I hate you “Romeo was actually 3960 years old” I hate you tragedy misunderstanders I hate you people with no media literacy skills I hate you Romeo and Juliet haters

i'm just thinking about a curtwen romeo and juliet au. curt montague and owen capulet. the DMA is tybalt, the informant is mercutio, and tatiana is benvolio. AND CYNTHIA IS THE FRIAR

Arthur definitely beats Romeo here, because he has a sword rather than merely a dagger. My mental associations with Arthur and Guinevere though heavily involve Lancelot, so I’m not sure why they’re being raised up as “together forever”. Then again, there’s not much “forever” about Romeo and Juliet’s three day whirlwind romance ending with death, so…
