Die for Our Ship/Live-Action TV: Difference between revisions

Line 159:

* ''[[Hikari Sentai Maskman]]'' has Takeru/Iyal as the [[Official Couple]] from the outset, but many fans wanted to see Takeru get together with Momoko (even though [[Ships That Pass in the Night|they hardly interact or get any screen time together]]) and dislike Iyal intensely. The {{spoiler|[[Star-Crossed Lovers]] ending of the show}} is taken as the definite sign that Takeru will eventually hook up with Momoko, even though there is still no evidence of him having feelings for ''any'' woman other than Iyal. This is also applicable to [[Ninja|Haruka]] (who at least has more interaction with Takeru).

** ''[[Samurai Sentai Shinkenger]]'' has plenty of [[Ship-to-Ship Combat]] between the opposing [[Ship Mates]] of Takeru/Mako and Chiaki/Kotoha vs Takeru/Kotoha and Ryuunosuke/Mako, leading to aggressive character-bashing all around. ''[[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger]]'' is beginning to repeat the pattern with Marvelous/Ahim and Joe/Luka vs Marvelous/Luka and Joe/Ahim (and let's not even get started on [[Butt Monkey|Don]].)

* Kylen Celina sometimes gets this from the ''[[Space: Above and Beyond]]'' fandom. Granted, there is a legitimate reason why her relationship with Nathan West may not be tenable {{spoiler|following her rescue in the series finale}} (namely, the fact that the Marine pilot is no longer the naive would-be colonist he started the series as). However, fanfiction frequently has her act on this in the pettiest fashion possible. Predictably, this leaves the door open for a heartbroken West to be comforted by his One True Love (usually Vansen, Hawkes, or Col. ~~[[Mc Queen]]~~).

* ''[[Kamen Rider Double]]'''s [[Official Couple]] is [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|Terui]]/[[Kawaiiko|Akiko]], the problem being that Terui is one of the most popular secondary Riders in recent years while Akiko is widely disliked. As a result, there's a number of fans who'd like to see Terui with ''any'' woman but Akiko, and frequently wish violent death on her for daring to fall in love with him. Made worse by the fact that two guest characters who showed interest in Terui were played by actresses already popular with fanboys after previous roles in ''[[Super Sentai]]''.

* The ''[[Glee]]'' fandom is rife with this.
