Number 5: Wasp(from Earth’s Mightiest Heroes) belittles Ant Man’s interest in science.
I LOVE Earths Mightiest Heroes and I LOVE what they did to make Jan a important member despite being unknown by casual Marvel fans, but her lack of interest as well as downright mean-spirited comments about Hank’s work as a scientist was uncalled for.
Imagine a woman who has a boyfriend who yawns and bicker about something she is interested in, like classical music. That would just be a dick move.
Number 4: Jade(DC Comics) cheats on Kyle Rayner.
So, Kyle Rayner AKA Green Lantern decides to go to space since he needs a break from Earth.
And then his girlfriend Jade cheats on him with some rich guy, even though she told Kyle that it was okay for him go on his intergalactic pilgrimage. It is not like he just ditched her, he wanted her to go with him and was more than ready to return to Earth when he thought she might be pregnant. SHE was the one who decided to go back to Earth, but not before she told him that his space journey was something he needed to do.
Number 3: Toriel(Undertale) leaves Asgore.
Yeah, I went there.
Toriel left her MOURNING husband who declared war on humanity in a fit of rage. She left him for something he didn’t mean and only said out of anger, something he regretted almost immediately. Then, she lives in the Ruins for god knows how long without lifting a finger to help her people who are now ruled by a not too bright, depressed and suicidal man. She says that she stayed in the Ruins to save the children, but if she had returned to New Home, she could easily have stopped the killing of human children before it even started. She most likely stayed in the Ruins because she didn’t want to confront Asgore. She downright kidnaps you so she can pretend that you are her little child, and won’t let you leave her home. AND it has been implied that she wanted you to kill Asgore so that she could take back the throne without any problems. Remember, if she is alive in a neutral run, she will conveniently return to take the throne after Asgore is dead.
Number 2: Opal(Legend of Korra) using her relationship with Bolin as a bargaining chip.
So, Bolin from Legend of Korra messed up and helped Kuvira despite his friends warning him that she is a dictator. Once he faces the truth and that people are going to die, Bolin returns to his friends to help them fight her.
But his girlfriend Opal is, well, kinda pissed. But she tells him that if he wish to save their relationship, he must assist her in saving her family.
… Wow.
You can tell me that I’m simplifying it or that I’m not fair to Opal, but let’s be real here: she is abusing the fact that Bolin feels guilty over the whole Kuvira thing AND she is using being in a relationship with him as something he needs to earn.
Love is not a reward you can hope to gain through specific actions. By doing this, Opal has placed Bolin in a situation where he has been granted mercy by her and she can potentially make rules for him to keep since he knows that her affection is something that he must pay for.
You either forgive someone or you don’t. What Opal did was toxic to their relationship.
Number 1: Rachel Green(Friends) being Ross’ girlfriend.
No specific examples needed, just Rachel Green from the TV series “Friends”. She is just plain awful to Ross. Dating him is just mean.
