Betty and Veronica: Difference between revisions

Line 529:
* In ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'', Elliot happened to fall for both fellow (and stronger) martial artist Nanase and [[Only Sane Man|Sane Girl]] of the cast, Sarah. {{spoiler|The triangle remains only for about five minutes after they all discover what's going on, though.}}
* ''[[Misfile]]'': Emily (the sensible Betty) and Missi (the wilder Veronica) both like Ash.
* ''[[Sakana]]'' has {{spoiler|a rare gay example, with [[Nice Guy|Taisei]] as the Betty and [[Jerkass|Arata]] as the Veronica for [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|Yuudai]]'s Archie. This is interestinglyan ininteresting thatexample, as the Archie previously dated the Veronica, but broke up because of the Veronica being [[Bastard Boyfriend|horribly]] [[Domestic Abuser|abusive]] towards him. He clearly chooses the Betty now, but the Veronica isn't one of those to surrender easily...}}
** {{spoiler|There's also a switch in their roles in that the Betty is the exotic newcomer while the Veronica is the old acquaintance. Both are also fit the [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]] fellowsstereotype.}}
* In ''[[The Dreamer]]'', Bea finds herself trying choose between 21st century Ben and 18th century Alan, with Alan as the Veronica and Ben as the Betty. However, the twist is, that Ben is the "safe" one, but family-loving, apple farmer, puritan Alan probably has more Betty characteristics than Ben, so which is Betty and which is Veronica depends on your interpretation and the situation Bea is in.
** It is also worth noting that even in the 18th century segments of the comic there is still a Betty and Veronica dynamic with Alan (Betty) and a young Alexander Hamilton (Veronica). Although, it's pretty obvious which one Bea loves best/chooses.
