Line 17:
* ''[[Valkyria Chronicles]]'' anime adaptation has promoted Faldio to love interest in order to introduce a ''[[Love Triangle]]''. Not only totally unnecessary considering the existing romantic subplot, but it's become a rather large [[Romantic Plot Tumor]]. For instance, a rather epic battle in the game against an enormous overpowered tank was completely avoided in the anime to allow Alicia and Faldio time to flirt.
* In the ''[[Tokko]]'' manga, Ranmaru and Sakura don't show any specific romantic interest in each other, but in the anime they develop feelings for each other and become love interests.

* Somewhat (and very surprisingly) averted in the movie adaptation to ''[[I, Robot (film)|I Robot]]''. Both the male lead and the female lead are very attractive, yet they never get romantically involved. Well, not explicitly, but there are hints at it, and Susan Calvin in [[I, Robot (literature)||the short stories]] was an elderly, celibate misanthrope after the first few [[Time Skip]]s. She gets [[Hotter and Sexier|upgraded]] to a [[Hot Scientist]], and at least a potential love interest, but thankfully they focused on the robots and the related ideals.
* For the movie adaptation of ''[[Watchmen]]'' it was [[Executive Meddling|originally planned]] to give Rorschach a love interest since his actions drive the whole story. But the idea was dropped.
* The 1960 film adaptation of [[H. G. Wells]]'s ''[[The Time Machine]]'' is an Alternate [[Trope Namer]]. In the book, an Eloi woman named Weena shares a close relationship with the Time Traveler, but not a romance, at least not overtly. Largely because Weena, like all Eloi, was a child-sized androgynous-looking creature mentally on the level of an eight-year old. However, the film turns Weena into a love interest, looking human except [[Unfortunate Implications|still with the mentality of a child]].
