Betty and Veronica: Difference between revisions
→Western Animation
Line 570:
** Also, Cyclops could be said to be the Betty and Gambit the Veronica for Rogue in this series.
* In ''[[Kappa Mikey]]'', Mitsuki is the Betty and Lily is the Veronica to Mikey's Archie.
* ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'' has three examples:
** The [[Sibling Triangle]] kind is present with Hoagie/Numbuh 2, who is torn between his close, [[Tsundere|tough but kind]] teammate Abby/Numbuh 5 (Betty) and her evil older sister Cree (Veronica), who treats him with disgust. Interestingly, his attraction to Abby is [[Ship Tease|far more subtle]] than the standard, but nevertheless, {{spoiler|he chooses Abby at the end, being [[Happily Married]] in the finale. It helps his [[Precocious Crush]] on Cree was pretty shallow, being based by her [[Evil Is Sexy|gorgeous appearance]] and [[Loving a Shadow|superficial similarities with Abby]].}}
** During the show's run, Wally/Numbuh 4 (Betty) had love rivals like The Kid and King Sandy (Veronicas) for Kuki/Numbuh 3's heart. Subverted in that Kuki [[Single-Target Sexuality|has never shown any attraction to them, only being interested in Wally]]. {{spoiler|So of course he gets the girl.}}
** This is played with Nigel/Numbuh 2's love interests, Lizzie and Rachel/Numbuh 362. In appearance, Lizzie is the Betty, being Nigel's homely girlfriend; while Rachel is the unattainable beauty, thus the Veronica. Their personalities, though, are the opposite: Lizzie is a [[Clingy Jealous Girl]] bordering on [[Yandere]], more fitting of a Veronica; while Rachel is a nice and understanding [[Reasonable Authority Figure]], making her close to a Betty. {{spoiler|Nigel ends up in space without either of them.}}
* ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'' has Arnold having a crush on Lila (Betty) and admired by Helga (Veronica).
** In "Arnie visits Arnie", Arnold is admired by Arnie's girlfriend Lulu (Veronica) and falls in love with Hilda (Betty). In turn, Arnold is the Betty to Arnie's Veronica for Hilda.
Line 585 ⟶ 589:
* ''[[The Legend of Korra]]'' puts [[Tall, Dark and Snarky|Mako]] in the Archie position, choosing between [[Blood Knight|Korra]] (the Veronica) and [[Spoiled Sweet|Asami]] (the Betty). Interestingly, a lot of the traits usually associated with each side are swapped around; ie. Asami is the richer, more traditionally beautiful one, while Korra is naive and from the country.
* In ''[[King of the Hill]]'', Nancy Hicks-Gribble has been carrying on an affair with Veronica, John Redcorn, while married to her [[Crazy Survivalist]] husband Dale (the Betty).
