Just as there are movie couples that steal our sighs and desire to find our better half, there is also the other side of the coin. We are talking about those protagonists who have less chemistry than oil and water, those who would lose a contest against your ex, who almost won the Oscar by pretending that he loved you. You know who you are, I hope you lose a dollar today.
The reasons for this can vary, whether the actors behind the horrible couple get along badly, or the script simply doesn’t play in favor of the story. Be that as it may, here we remind you of those duos who were left wanting to live their own fictional romance.
1. Rose Tico and Finn in Star Wars: Episode VIII
This couple was destined to fail since no one expected their kiss. It was literally like seeing two brothers kiss and that is never a good sign for a loving relationship.
2. Thor and Jane Foster in Thor, a dark world
The actors worked quite well in their two performances, but separately, because when it came time to melt their “love” they just didn’t spark. Taika Waititi, the director of Thor: Ragnarok, He must have felt the same, because for his next installment he decided that cutting the relationship was the best.
3. Claire Dearing and Owen Grady in Jurassic World: Jurassic World
With this relationship they wanted to play the typical couple who don’t get along but secretly desire each other, a fairly old and commonly functional formula. But everything about them feels very forced. Seeing them team up as friends would have been so much better.
4. Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley in the saga of Harry Potter
What should have been a dream romance, like the one we read about in books, turned into a resounding disaster. The chemistry between these two just never blossomed. Everything was left in awkward moments that we all wanted to end for the sake of our retinas.
5. Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby
Another big screen adaptation that failed to live up to the book. The relationship between Jay and Daisy feels totally mechanical, like they’re handing in an assignment neither of them studied for.
6. Harry and Sally in When Harry Met Sally
This movie is in the hearts of all of us who love romantic cinema, but it must be admitted, Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal failed to convey that feeling of soul mates that the film wanted so much to achieve. Even so, we admit that showing on the screen that connection that very few people get to feel is difficult.
7. Aquaman and Mera in Aquaman
There are movie couples that just shouldn’t be, Aquaman and Mera being one of those. I wish the writers understood that it is not always necessary to bring together the protagonists of the story, since a perfectly good film can be made without resorting to this hackneyed element.
8. Jasper Hale and Alice Cullen in the saga of Twilight
Any love relationship that seems more familiar is a resounding NO. Jasper seems like Alice’s introverted son. That typical child who goes against her will everywhere. Not alone. Alice deserved more.
9. Beauty and the Beast live action
Unlike in the Disney animated version, the warmth between the two leads is never felt. The idea was to gradually thaw their resentment, but it just never happens, so the ballroom scene in the great hall feels overly fake.
10. Christian Gray and Anastasia Steele in Fifty Shades of Grey
The last thing this film should be missing was the chemistry between the leads, but that was exactly what no one found. The relationship between Christian and Anastasia was a total fiasco, because instead of raising a great passion on the screen, they only raised doubts about which of the two acted worse.
11. Lois Lane and Superman in the man of steel
No one could look more boring than Amy Adams being rescued by a superhero. And no one could be more fed up with saving the maiden in peril than Henry Cavill as Superman. Really, they were both annoyed with each other, and it shows.
12. Will Rodman and Caroline in Planet of the Apes: Revolution
James Franco had more chemistry with César (the ape) than with Freida Pinto, and no wonder, César and Will made an incredible connection. But if the writers had in mind to form such a beautiful friendship, they should have made her want to with the love relationship more because she was totally overshadowed.
13. Steven Rogers and Sharon Carter in Captain America: Civil War
This is another one of those movies that by force wants to pair the protagonist with someone. In addition, it is noticeable that they do it in a super-forced way, since nobody expected the kiss between Steve and Sharon. They are one of those scenes that if you remove them completely, it does not affect the plot at all.
14. Steve Hiller and Jasmine Dubrow in Independence Day
Although they don’t have that much screen time together, with the few moments they give us it’s more than enough to understand why the director preferred to keep them apart. Their relationship feels blander than frozen food in Matilda.
15. Noah Flynn and Elle Evans in The kissing booth
We do not understand how Netflix made three films in this saga but dared to cancel File 81. The love triangles in this movie are horrible, but Noah and Flynn take the throne, giving off the vibe of being brothers and not a couple.
