Character finally gets together with a girl
Jack Watson
Jace Stewart
Cartoons are supposed to be funny. They are not supposed to be your therapist. You're not supposed to emphasize with the character.
Joshua Turner
>character is made lead female main character's love interest
>dumps him at the last minute to get with the lead male character instead
Jacob Gomez
>character is good friends with a girl
>they remain good friends through the entire series with no unnecessary, forced drama
Nathan Martin
That's more the show's fault than mine. The show should be able to make the MC I'm a relationship just as funny as when he wasn't.
Joseph Lewis
Nothing is funnier than pain.
Leo Taylor
You sound gay.
Wyatt Nguyen
>A show has really great action and characters
>It decides to focus on shitty romance and nothing interesting happens for the majority of the series until the end
Chase Watson
Most writers cant write romance to save thier lives, its always about the chase and the will they wont they bullshit. When they do its usually at the end of the series and if the series continues in the sequel they write a cop out to make the relationship not exist anymore. That being said.
>mcs friend group are a bunch of assholes who dont care about him/her
>he/she doesnt dump them for better friends cause "reasons"
>mc and love intrest have virtually nothing in common and no reason to like eachother whatsoever
>still end up together for some ungodly reason
Samuel Reyes
I bet you like Catdog
Liam Wood
>you're not supposed to emphasize
Sounds mildly autistic, user.
Jeremiah Adams
What are the most overused cartoon plots in history?
Joseph Cox
The classic "writer inserted thier fetish into the story" plotline
A tale as old as time.
Jacob Clark
Boys VS Girls.
Brayden Peterson
Pretty much every episode where Timmy tries to win Trixie Tang and she'd chimp out about something at the end and dump him. No wonder so many people just started rooting for Tootie.
Anthony Bell
These plots are pretty prevalent in a few cartoons I can think of.
>Obligatory "80s Baby Spinoff" Episode
>Girls vs. Boys Episode
>Heatwave Episode
>The Big Misunderstanding/Miscommunication Episode
>Holiday Specials
>New character that's the epitome of perfection and everyone loves them and certain characters envy them.
Jacob Wright
Character gets rich, becomes douchey to their usual friends, but loses it all at the end and they all make up ie "You guys were the real treasure all along!" or something.
Andrew Fisher
>Character is good friends with a girl.
>through all the seasons of the show they show very little desire to date each other. Suddenly in the final season/finale they decide that they've always been in love and a bunch of earlier scenes are recontextualized as romantic and they end up dating.
Benjamin Perez
Two of the main characters have a fight over something petty. At the end of the episode they're forced together by some sort of trial and begrudgingly rekindle. After defeating the trial they apologize and their friendship is back to status quo. (bonus points if what they were fighting over is barely even addressed.)
Liam Cooper
they did have a reason, Marco was a selfish retard.
media doesn't exist in a vacuum. cartoons and the like aren't just "for fun"
Ryan Diaz
I remember the Martin Mystery instance of this pissed me off.
Cameron Hughes
>lead female character is made lead male character's love interest
>she ends up hooking up with her female friend in the last episode
>"See if we did the former it wouldve been cliche, but the latter has never been done before and cant be a trope because we invented the gays"
Nathan Jones
you can make a relationship funny. if you only hook characters up so that you can later break em up and laugh at their pain, but never at their romance, not only was the time they spent in a relationship a drag but it also shows you have a very narrow concept of comedy and are physically incapable of making comedy out of something positive
if you really only wanted the breakup part, introduce that from the beginning as being a part of the character
Charles Rivera
>waaah this cartoon c u ckholded me time to go on a shooting spree
You’re a credit to your people, son.
Henry Anderson
>Main character has multiple friends that are clearly interested
>They fuck every single one of them in the last episode which is just a long explanation of what polygamy is.
Hudson Johnson
Holy shit you might as well open up a theater with all that projection.
Isaiah Phillips
>characters are in a loving relationship with fun chemistry
Jayden Rogers
AT was already guilty of bad romance tropes. In Ricardio the Heart Guy from S1 no less.
Samuel Reed
>i hate this trope it sucks
>HAHA YOURE GONNA CRY? YOURE GONNA GET UPSET? LOOK HOW UPSET YOU ARE RIGHT NOW GUYS LOOK AT THIS GUY HES GONNA SHOOT UP A MIDDLE SCHOOL WOW GUYS HE MAD
Adrian Ramirez
w-what shows?
Matthew Morales
>character gets together with girl
>all chemistry they had prior to this moment disappears in favor of the shitty relationship drama-fueled "WILL THEY STAY TOGETHER??" episodes
Jaxson Butler
>character gets with crush
>finds out they're a boring person whom they had placed on a pedestal
>breaks up with them
more shows need this
Nicholas Sanchez
literally me
Matthew Allen
>more shows need this
this is where you disappointed me user
Daniel Jenkins
>DA PROM
>muh misunderstanding
>ghost episode where the ghost turns out to be real in the last 5 seconds
>character has to keep up some shitty lie instead of just telling the truth at the beginning of the episode
>fantastic voyage ripoff #293125430582093004
>sidekick gets jealous of main character
>beach episode
Kayden Sanchez
>>ghost episode where the ghost turns out to be real in the last 5 seconds
on the other hand, see:
>ghost episode where the ghost is proven to be fake. every single thing the ghost did thruout the episode is explained by normal non supernatural means. but in the last 5 seconds an actual ghost flies by.
this one has the most potential to be both fucking top tier kino, and absolute dogshit depending on how you do it
Ethan Torres
>yearbook photo day episode with the inevitable plot points of:
>"the yearbook IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING OF OUR LIVES AAAAAAAAAAH!"
>character A keeps trying to stay clean but ends up getting dirty
>bonus if character B ends up sacrificing THEIR looks to make character A presentable in the photo
>character keeps trying to get into the yearbook, usually thru the means of being the "class clown"
Parker Green
I guess those with no experience of romance can't write stories about it.
Gabriel Lee
It hurts
