Disposable Love Interest: Difference between revisions

Line 29:

* Amy and Kayra in the ''Castaways of the Flying Dutchman'' books by Brian Jacques.

* Subverted in an episode of ''Futurama''. Bender and the disembodied head of Lucy Liu fall in love at the end of one episode and vow they'll marry. This relationship is never mentioned again... except in one episode that reveals she's been living in his chest cavity all along.

* Stretched almost to the point of [[Deconstruction]] by ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' and its sequel. Snake ends up happily with the girl, Meryl, but by the time of the second game their relationship has not only failed without explanation but Snake's now actually living with a ''man'', who seems more compatible with him than she was. [[Heterosexual Life Partners|It's straighter than it sounds]]...[[~~Video Games/~~Ho Yay|but not much]].

* Name one of [[Star Wars|Luke Skywalker's]] [[Expanded Universe|girlfriends]]. [[They Do|Mara Jade]] is the only one that ''doesn't'' quallify for this trope.
