Whimsical?

Whimsical, as defined, in my opinion, pertains to a content that is characterized as fanciful notions that tend to make complicated human affairs simple. Usually, such point of view is defined as erratic and unpredictable. Thus when, let say, a romance is qualified as whimsical, the complexity of any romantic encounters are deliberately given simple forms that are erratic and unpredictable.

Usually, such point of view is defined as cynical and pattern forming. Thus, when let say, a drama is qualified as irreverent, the simplicity of any dramatic encounters are deliberately given complicated forms that are cynicall and pattern forming.

FPJ movies are actually irreverent action flicks. Meaning , content tend to be cynical and pattern forming. Now, when I say cynical and pattern forming, I am not referring to the brand name FPJ rather I am referring to the situations the brand name is deployed. Furthemore, simple human affairs are often transformed into complicated scenarios from which the brand name becomes the deus ex machina in the material. An element that reinforces the notion of "pattern forming".

Robin Padilla action movies are whimsical in nature. They tend to be fanciful and erratic. Wherein complex human problems are given simple solutions that are often the results of human whims. one can consider that Robin Padilla is also a brand name, but the obeject of the whims, unlike in irreverent FPJ movies, is the brand name itself. Though Padilla movies like FPJ movies are event driven, still the former as a brand name is clearly the source of the qualifying element.

One can also push for an irreverent horror or a whimsical horror in a certain extent. "Saw" as a Thriller may be qualified as irreverent and Friday The 13th as a Horror whimsical in nature.

Sometimes, the need to gun for a refreshing genre is subject to how we might qualify it. In comedy, screwball as a term qualifies the feel of the humor. High class projections of making elite human affairs look stupid and funny tend to be social vehicles to uplift the emotional gaps between classes.
