Derailing Love Interests: Difference between revisions

* [[Woman On Top]] falls on the "informed flaw" side of things. The ex-husband is truly sorry about cheating on her, but they needed to get rid of her new love interest. They get in a fight when he (under orders from the producers) attempts to [[Executive Meddling|change elements on her show]]. She dumps him over this single fight, which isn't even his idea, and goes back to the man who cheated on her just because he wasn't able to be on top while they had sex.

* Occurs in ''[[Sky High]]''. Main character [[Adorkable|Will]] is dating [[Mary Elizabeth Winstead|Gwen]], who, being older than him, generally acts as his [[Mentor Ship|mentor]], helping his first year of high school be less horrible. We're also informed that Will's best friend [[Granola Girl|Layla]] has a crush on him. How ''do'' we resolve this triangle? {{spoiler|Gwen turns into an [[Alpha Bitch]] and Will catches her [[Hannibal Lecture|Hannibal Lecturing]] Layla}}. Granted, this development ''does'' turn out to be critical to the plot, but on a first viewing it sort of seems to [[Shocking Swerve|come out of nowhere]] (with hindsight there is some [[Foreshadowing]]). Considering Gwen {{spoiler|was the [[Big Bad]] with an adult mind trapped in a teenage body this whole time}}, this is actually something of an aversion.
