Why is it so rare for there to be protagonists that are in a lasting relationship?

Because writers are hacks.
Julian Bennett
the day to day realities of being in a relationship are not interesting and it's easier to write relationship drama
Cooper Powell
Like a romantic one? Can be several things. Usually it’s easier to write as friends instead of couples, they might want to avoid drama, they might want to build up shopping drama to entice the viewer, and sometimes the network won’t allow them to have a couple
That’s why it’s usually at the very end they pair up or they make hints to right out the series but never actually commit to anything (like TT)

>either have your male and female leads fuck or your a hack
Noah Wood
They aren't though. Every time they appeared they'd tell people that they're no relation.
Colton Johnson
In that they aren’t family.
Cooper Myers
in case your not trolling
they say that to dissuade incest allegations
Jose Phillips
I dunno
Michael Sullivan
At least we have these two
Dylan Nelson
>they say that to dissuade incest allegations
The "No relation" gag dates back to vaudeville.
Owen Murphy
>the day to day realities of being in a relationship are not interesting
So don't fucking focus on them, Jesus fuck.
Jaxon Hughes
Although Jeremy is not a protagonist, I like that we could see how his relationship with Candace progressed.
Adam Gonzalez
CN that is NOT fucking funny and you know it
Ian King
>Hey loyal viewers, who do you ship more?
>Haha FUCK YOU!
If you ever wanted more evidence of liberals ruining cartoons.
Carson Nguyen
sad reminder
Kayden Jackson
it's boring if the protags are lovey-dovey soulmates who trust each other implicitly
go watch any 80s cartoon where they do that trope and see for yourself
Nicholas Russell
Then maybe these cartoons about talking hot dogs and birds should stop trying to write "realistic" relationships and put their focus on the wacky world of cartoons and make that shit fun again.
Chase Reyes
CN apparently ships neither, so.
Adam Clark
Oof!
Kind of says it all, doesn't it?

If the show is based on a romantic relationship, is OK, but if is a comedy or adventure show it breaks the flow of all relationships, but you can tease it. Pretty much a serious relationship can sink a non romantic show, pic related.
Carter Ortiz
Cant remember any 80s cartoon, can you enlight me?
Aaron Johnson
Writers can't right relationship for shit. They'll rather have them break up after a fight instead of testing them. It's annoying. Reading X-Men and most comic capeshit has given me PTSD with the particular subject.
Isaiah Harris
It's not that rare, but it's hard to do it outside of just having the relationship set up beforehand. Introducing relationships during the show practically never goes well.
Aiden Ortiz
90% of this is Hanna Barbara characters
Jackson Martinez
That's blatantly wrong. Even if it were true, CN was the only place that consistently aired them.
Ian Russell
good lord they are really off model
Isaac Allen
Fuck you, what the fuck
That's genuinely fucked up
Fucking shitty writers forcing my boy Mordy into a bunch of relationship drama only to decide that he's somehow "toxic masculinity" and don't even let him get with Margaret in the end, just some random stupid bat girl so he can have ugly children with her
Juan Cox
...
Robert Thomas
???
Fuck off dumbass. That's literally what the creators said and called him.
Anthony Morgan
Fuck off, pepole behind the show bring the whole retoric about toxic masculinity to the table.
