20 On-Screen Couples That Had Negative Chemistry
Making a movie or TV series is essentially one long game of pretend. Depending on the genre, you might have to pretend to drive a spaceship or rule 14th-century England, but above all, you pretend to have relationships. If you thought it was tricky to act like the rig you’re straddling is a dragon, try pretending to love someone you can’t stand.
Not everyone can pull it off, so a lot of on-screen lovers or besties couldn’t get past immigration officials, let alone viewing audiences. For user galactic-avatar, it’s “Captain Kirk and Spock from the Nu-Trek movies,” they told r/AskReddit. “In fact, none of the main characters in those movies seemed to naturally like each other and were all forced to be ‘friends’ because the movies needed them to be.”
They then asked, “Which two characters had the most forced and unnatural chemistry together?” and all kinds of bad friendships and romance followed.
