Message: [QUOTE="Ian Naxieas, post: 69297, member: 4966"] Very much this. Romance isn't my favorite thing in fiction for many reasons, but I have seen it done right and it's actually touching when it is done well. However, I can't think of a single love triangle that's been done well. I'm sure there's good examples out there, but in every example I can think of, it's just there to do nothing more than introduce pointless drama. Halt and Catch Fire is a really good example of this. The relationship... whatever you'd call it between Joe and Cameron and a handful of other people is there the whole series and always just irritated me. My boyfriend and I were watching it together and both of us lost interest at the end of season three when a married Cameron and Joe started up again. It just immediately took the wind out of our sails. I do want to finish the series sometime, but I feel like I should watch it over when I do, because it's been years since we stopped. I know this is TV/Movies, but I have to mention the most cancerous love triangle that exists. Isaac, Ellie and Norton in Dead Space 3. The game has a lot of problems as is but the attempt at bringing relationship drama to the front caused me serious psychic damage. Whenever Isaac and Norton got into little bitch fights over Ellie I just wanted to claw my eyes and ears out and this goes on for a good chunk of the game. Isaac eventually kills Norton for plot reasons and after Ellie is mad at him for like five minutes over it, they are suddenly madly in love again. Is that a trope too? Whatever it is, it does not do an already heavily flawed game any favors. [/QUOTE]
