Four Polarizing TV and Movie Couples Through the Years

While stories can introduce very exciting relationships, there sure are some that people just love to talk about. The big and small screens have produced many polarizing relationships that remain such to this day and still captivate audiences. Here are four of the most talked about—for better and for worse—TV and movie couples.

Friends had more than one iconic relationship during its 10-season run, but no other stirred debate and disagreement quite like the one between Joey and Rachel. This certainly is one of the most polarizing couples on screen because the Team Ross and Team Joey debates continue years after the show ended.

While Kylo Ren and Rey started as enemies in The Force Awakens, their relationship evolved during the three movies. It was mainly based on tension and adversity, and many were surprised when the two kissed at the end of The Last Jedi. Many were shipping Reylo right after The Last Jedi and saw a deep and romantic undercurrent between the two, but those who didn't like it pointed out that there wasn't enough on-screen throughout the movies to warrant the development of romantic feelings between the two.

The first season of Wednesday had the main character develop a relationship with Tyler, and it captured the attention of many fans with its complicated twists and turns. However, when it became clear that Tyler was involved in local murders, that made him irredeemable to many fans and unsuitable for Wednesday.

Shuri and Namor may not have been depicted as a romantic pair in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, but they still managed to become one of the most polarizing couples people talk about. This is mainly because the interactions between the two led many to believe there was an underlying devotion from Namor towards Shuri, and others strongly disagreed.
