As we prepare for the return of Ted Lasso, I'm reminded of that very bizarre but vehement "Ted and Rebecca are endgame" subset of the fandom, and wondering whether their belief was more or less a case of willful blindness than "The *real* Stranger Things finale is going to come out next week!"

I really do think this will be the discourse that kills us.

They’re the same people who were like “oh yeah Andy and April ALWAYS wanted kids”

There seems to be a subset of people that believe hetero-platonic relationships aren't possible in stories, despite them being very common

Meanwhile, no one shared my strong belief that a Roy/Keeley/Jamie throuple was the true endgame.

I think you simply need to look in other places on the internet to find that particular shared opinion

Into it.

Still makes more sense than the "Carmy and Sydney are endgame" fandom...

Ответ для Daniel Fienberg

I don't know. I think Carmy and Syd being a couple would have been awful, and I'm glad the show never went there. But I can at least squint and see why someone might have thought that was where we were headed, at least in s1. There was never *any* suggestion of it with Ted and Rebecca.

I feel like it's a result of people being trained to expect that kind of romance on other shows. (Whatever issues I have with TL, I have always been glad they never even came close to approaching this "endgame.")

I had heard about that before we started the show, and a few episodes in I remember thinking "either these two characters are going to change massively in the next 8 episodes or whoever told me that is insane."
