I was just remembering today that James x Misty (in Pokemon) is called "Whinyshipping." Now James does whine, though I think it's part of his charm, but Misty? She occasionally complains but if anything she was the voice of reason in that bunch.
And I didn't mind Harry in OotP too much either. I think it just finally caught up with him that his life could have been a lot better. (If he hadn't had to live with the Dursleys, be the "boy who lived" etc.)
But yes, ordinary emotions and actions like complaining and jealousy can be exaggerated in the minds of some critics.
Whinyshipping, eh? o.o Didn't know that. I don't support the pairing, but that's interesting. And James actually didn't used to whine as much as he does now. **sighs sadly and bemoans the fate of Team Rocket.** The writers just don't know how to write for them anymore. Now they're just dead plot devices.
I like the pairing, but I'm mainly a Rocketshipper. I always wanted to try to write James x Misty though, but I never managed.
I haven't seen Pokemon at all lately. It's a shame if they aren't treating Team Rocket right, because Rocket-centric episodes used to be some of the best they ever had.
Yes, very much so. I always loved the Rocket-centric episodes. The last one I saw that they had was way back at the beginning of Pokémon Advanced, when Jessie and James were trying to protect all those Pokémon from the poachers. Since then, the writers just don't seem to know what to do with them. They've become miserable tack-ons to the episodes and seem to exist only so Ash can blast them away. It's such a waste of good characters.
Whinyshipping? O.o; That's bizarre. I rather like James & Misty (who I never thought of as whiny). I also agree that being whiny is part of James' charm.
Though my one friend likes to call Ash "whiny" which I never quite got... Some people are quite bizarre.
Everybody I know hated Harry in OotP, so it's good to know that I'm not the only one who thought he was perfectly likable, if not more so than previous books.
