I guess that wasn't the right question but ok.

Besides, I don't know how can romance be developed in a show not only without falling into the tropes, but also not feeling forced and unnatural like, for example Kirito and Asuna, Naruto and Hinata, Felicity and Oliver, etc.

@Hollowfox Jaeger
it was kind of meh, and i really don't like that part where he kissed her 5 seconds after she said she wasn't interested right now,

Speaking of Last Airbender, do people think Aang and Katara's romance was forced or natural?

@TheHappySpaceman
It's a meme, because they had to be so subtle to avoid fears of actual government censors at the time, allot of people still that Makorra was going to be conon, and a message "we popping the biggest bottle when makorra happens tomorrow" was made before the finale aired, resaulting in a huge amount of jokes about the bottles being unpopped,

@Thanotos Omega

also reminder that the biggest bottles remain unpopped,

?

@Hollowfox Jaeger
And by the time Korra and Assami started falling for each other both had ended their relationships with Mako,

also reminder that the biggest bottles remain unpopped,

The fact of the matter is, very rarely are these love triangles ever truly love triangles. Each one is a love acute angle. Only Korra was a true love triangle.

Speaking of love triangles, That is why I didn't like Total Drama World Tour. Not just that, but it also made Courtney look bad and made me think that "I hate X because I ship Y and Z"

@TheHappySpaceman

This is just the worst.

@TheHappySpaceman
Like for example, the characters aren't developed throughout the show and yet they still got paired and shoehorned. Like for example, Kirito and Asuna from Sword Art Online (I still like SAO tho, I just got that example from people who says that the romance in SAO is forced/rushed.) or Felicity Smoak and Oliver Queen from the Arrowverse.

@Hollowfox Jaeger
I'm confused as to what you mean.

There are plenty of ways a relationship and the characters in said relationship can develop while not falling for any of those cliches.

@TheHappySpaceman
What if a relationship is developed but not the characters themselves? Or is forced?

Honestly, these romance tropes are starting to feel super played out:
-Love triangles
-The "will they, won't they?" dynamic stretched out for the entire runtime of a series
-Characters waiting to hook up until the very end (see above)
-Characters getting together and then breaking up only to get back together later
-Red herring romance characters
-Basically everything from the 2000s Spider-Man movies regarding romance (I love those movies but that got tedious)

And it's not impossible to write stable, healthy relationships in a way that's still interesting. Look at Hiccup and Astrid, or Nick and Nora Charles. The problem is that most writers are just too lazy or plain not skilled enough to do it.

@Thanotos Omega
Agreed.

And this comes from someone who is salty about Eden Sher's career being cut short thanks to SVTFOE slander. (Not to mention she will never be in the MCU thanks to The Middle being produced by WB (owners of DC Comics) rather than ABC) And speaking of Ladybug, I knew this would happen regarding the whole "MCs dating someone else rather than each other" trope that ruined the former show, and is ruining not just the latter show but it will likely will do the same with Aggretsuko since Retsuko is always finding someone else other than Haida.

We need more people who can learn from Rebecca Sugar the next time they go to serialized animation. Because at least, whether people like Steven Universe or not, at least she made Connie wait for the right time to date Steven instead of saying "imma date anyone else other than my true love just to make him suffer lol".

@Thanotos Omega
I was surprised because you like The Legend of Korra. (But then again, from what I've seen, most people, even fans, agree that the love triangle was one of the weakest parts of that show. In fact, that's probably the only thing that fans and haters of Korra can agree upon.)

Honestly, it bums me out how so many writers of movie and TV series seem to be completely unable to write stable, healthy relationships, because they keep resorting to the same old, played-out drama.

@TheHappySpaceman
Love triangles are like all tropes able to be used well but they rarely are, usually they are just used for pointlessly delaying the inevitable canon pairing, see Star vs and Miraculous Ladybug,

@Thanotos Omega
Huh, I'm surprised you're agreeing. Cool!

@Zincy
Fair enough. It's just that I don't wanna hear about the "woes" of someone who can get two lovers when most people can't even get one. Plus every love triangle could be solved by them all agreeing just to have an orgy. :P

@TheHappySpaceman

I mean, I was in two love triangles. So, its relatable to me lol.

@TheHappySpaceman
Very true,

Love triangles are boring and unrelatable.

@Myoozik
Hence what I said.

Besides, it will spark hypocrisy, just like in the whole "live-action vs. animation" debate regarding adaptations.

@Myoozik
Funnily enough Mel Brooks himself has been trying to make a more "modern" version of Blazing Saddles called "Blazing Samurai".

Except replace the Old West with Feudal Japan and make everyone animated cats :P

But FR i feel like given some of the humor from it, a lot of peple would be up an arms over Blazing Saddles even ignoring the context of the movie, that the people making the racist jokes are a bunch of idiots that have bad things happen to them)

@Hollowfox Jaeger
It would've sucked away what made that movie funny and memorable in the first place. Mel Brooks would've been shaking his head if someone did that to his work.

@Myoozik
Even if it did, and they removed all "problematic" stuff, it could turn out worse.

You can't please everyone, you know. (You hear that, supremacist company/creator-bashing fanboys?!)

@EquusStorm
Dude, if that movie got made today, people would've gotten their jimmies rustled so badly and be offended to the moon and back.
