Ayden Morales
>protags act constantly nice to each other unless there's forced drama for the plot
I just wanna see my MCs do some good-natured ribbing to each other like normal people instead of Stepford children.
This ties into anything with teens/kids where the writers split them into the mean cool kids and the sappy "nice guys."
>MC is a bland ordinary guy
>still somehow a bullied outsider
>still somehow has 1 or 2 friends who will do anything as his sidekick
>antagonists are twerpy assholes
>still somehow the "popular kids"
It's even worse if they have episodes about how most characters actually hate them, yet the writers keep using this trope.
Tyler Williams

Does that even add anything to the story, though?
They already hate each other, they will never be the stars of a buddy buddy comedy just because they happen to be brothers.
Cameron Robinson
What show does this?
Camden Fisher
Goku and Piccolo were never "best friends"
Piccolo and Gohan is the actually friendship
And Bugs and Daffy...have they ever been enemies in the first place? They've been rivals at best, but never actual enemies.
Jackson Cruz
I mean hacky in the sense of a hack writer. "I am your brother" is just as cheesy as "I am your father."

I dunno, I just find it lazy and boring. Like writers feel that they're obligated to just slap the main girl with the hero.

Lincoln Campbell
This is why I loved Courtney in the show.
Lucas Walker
This is good, thanks
Logan Williams
I think it's because they come up with the love-interest for the hero, then want to give her enough actual scenes that she seems like a main character and not just a trophy for the actual MC, because when the MC's love interest has basically no screen time with the main character it comes off weird. I know it's Yea Forums material, but Jojo Part 1 had a very obvious love interest for Jonathan from the start and that's the only role she served in the plot, marrying him at the end. Part 2 the main girl character turned out to be the main character, Joseph's mom as a plot twist. Joseph ended up marrying her maid Suzie Q despite her having almost no interaction with him.
Unless the girl is the main character, his love interest, relative or somehow related to the main villain, she's usually just along for the ride.

Wyatt Long
>Character is animated differently than the other characters
Adrian Gomez
Well, since you used an anime, I'll bring up one that I feel did it in a way that avoided the trope, and did it the way I like:
Dragonball.
Goku and Bulma were never end game, and when Bulma did get paired with someone, it was Goku's rival.
(granted, in this scenario, it also does kind of prove your point about MC's love interest just being a prize out of nowhere, since Chichi really didn't do much before or after)
He may not be much for writing romances, but at least Toriyama avoided a crappy trope with it
Also, for a Yea Forums example: Danny Phantom and Sam. He had at least 2 other potential love interests from what I recall....so let's say screw it and just hook him up with the main girl because we've gotta stick to the cliches.

Samuel Morris
I believe Open Season 2 also did this
Zachary Cook
I think it's probably due to the significant age gap between Bulma and Goku. But yeah, they have a pretty rare character dynamic. Basically every female character after her was made as a love interest for another male character. Chichi, 18, Videl. Don't ask me about Super and don't make me think about GT.

yes i kinda wish that squirrels were depicted as the manipulative, klepto, crazy ninja theif bastards they truly are.

I haven't seen the ending but I know her father gets arrested for something. Dodie was a fucking bitch who fucked several people over and nothing came of it. This show was more real than I thought.
Daniel Gomez
>Using the only example of bad chimps
planet of the apes should be disregarded as an example of good vs bad primates in general.
the only other thing i will add is >Every chimp is depicted as British which makes them seem bad/dicks
Nolan Bennett
father arrested, family loses all of their money
she outright vanishes from the show and doesn't get to appear in the epilogue timeskip. Dodie does. Darren does. Darren is implied to have married Ginger and had a kid with her
It all hurts

But, I disagree.
Every time I have ever seen these there is some interesting twist on it, it just is not that meaningful that their brothers until after one of them has been defeated for good.

God I fucking hate them together. There was nothing wrong with her and Danny and they honestly felt so much more compatible and the dynamic of her and him being enemies outside their normal life was cool. Fuck you butch for not liking interracial couples.
