Why people wished they stayed platonic:
Seven of Nine and Chakotay
Star Trek has a bad habit of pairing up two characters in the final season of a show even if it makes no narrative sense. Chakotay is prime husband material but Seven never showed any interest in him or really in romance at all. They crammed in a cringey episode where she lives in the holodeck for a while and tries to date holo!Chakotay to set up their eventual pairing. (She also almost dies from turning off her Borg implants to try and be more human which is completely out of character and just so stupid.) In my headcanon Seven is aroace but if she must be allo she should end up with Janeway, and if Chakotay must come too they should be a power throuple.
What on earth was that?? They had 0 chemistry throughout the season and both had solid romantic subplots with other characters. Baffling… Absolutely baffling…
Kylo Ren & Rey
i'll be honest here i lowkey liked the tension in the first movie. but with the writing of next movies focusing on them as a couple it went so downhill.
Natasha Romanov and Bruce Banner
oh no our last two main characters that don't have any romance in their lives :( what can they connect on hmm? oh! Neither of us can have kids : ') sure that'll work
No chemistry and both of them had better, more interesting love interests (especially Nat)
Natasha and Bruce, you two should have really stayed platonic! Erm... congratulations?

Why people wished they stayed platonic:
Spock and La’An Noonien-Singh
The characters were growing closer as friends from shared secrets and trauma, but them being romantic just came out of nowhere, especially since both had rather recently gone through breakups/heartbreak that one would think would make them want to take a break from romance for a good while.
Myka Bering and Pete Latimer
They had a very strong sibling-like relationship for the majority of the show, Myka’s actor wanted her character to be in a relationship with a different (female) character, the characters were literally so platonic they slept in the same bed naked when they knew they’d wake up without their memories to make their future selves investigate what had happened because they knew there was no way they’d ever sleep together and were, in fact, actively disgusted at the idea. It was only in the last season they became romantic and I’m fairly sure the entire cast rejects the entire season anyway.
For the first four seasons they were disgusted at the idea of being a sexual/romantic couple and I understand that the showrunner was trying to go for a "methinks she doth protest too much" vibe but that's not how the actors played it! They worked so well as having an annoying-siblinglike relationship and then the last half season spedrun a romance and it didn't work at all.
Plus Myka is clearly into girls (might be bi but isn't into Pete) and her relationship with Helena (canonically bi) at all times had SO much chemistry. Bering & Wells forever.
The final season suddenly shoved them together as a way of ending things and it was rushed and unnecessary. There was a bit of a will-they/won't-they early on but that had seemingly settled into them being great partners and friends. Also Bering & Wells forever!
1: There's an entire episode where the plot is that they leave proof something is wrong by making it look like they hooked up, which is completely out of character. 2: Myka had a nearly-canon girlfriend and the show was already canceled when they put her and Pete together for the finale.
They were such a fun duo, perfect platonic (work) partners who meant a lot to each other but it didn't have to get romantic. Many fans think Myka in particular had much more romantic chemistry with someone else, and to some people Pete and Myka getting together was a surprise and/or disappointment.
I just think that having a strong, meaningful friendship would have worked just as well for them.
A beautiful supportive platonic male female friendship that was built up over many seasons who were shoved into a relationship in the last few episodes to follow up on romantic tension that had been dropped after season 1

Why people wished they stayed platonic:
James Moriarty and Beatrice Holmes
To be honest they shouldn't even stay platonic, they should stay away from each other. Beatrice is Sherlocks kinda evil but not that evil anymore sister and James gets with her to use her? To do an evil weapon business with her behind Sherlocks back? Honestly I can't stand the fact that they made a show that had so much sexual tension between Sherlock and James just to fake out and have him bang Sherlocks sister. She isn't even written well, it seems like she's just a plot device that is supposed to alienate Sherlock and James from each other.
Mike Wheeler and El Hopper
They kissed after she asked if they would be like brother and sister <\3
Their friendship was really interesting & beneficial for them both, but neither were ready for a relationship and it kinda destroyed their bond, as well as their relationship with others. Their breakup allowed El to find herself outside her relationship to him.
They were put into a relationship at 12 after knowing each other for like a week and Jane literally thought of mike as her brother until he kissed her. She didn't know what a boyfriend was, having grown up in a lab her whole life. Besides that, they're incompatible. They have conpletely different interests and want different things. They've been compared to elliot and the alien from et multiple times. The relationship is also VERY comphet coded, especially from mike’s side but I could go on and on about that. In the end, idk I feel like a friendship between Jane and mike could've been much more interesting and wholesome.

Why people wished they stayed platonic:
Rachel and Ross
Dragged out too long + they make each other worse. Ross is immature and Rachel is petty
Katniss and Gale
It would have been a lot less trouble for both of them if things had been kept platonic, and Katniss could have maybe kept a friend by the end of the series since the messiness of and stress about the sort-of romance helped to push them away from each other during hard times.
Seven of Nine and Chakotay
Star Trek has a bad habit of pairing up two characters in the final season of a show even if it makes no narrative sense. Chakotay is prime husband material but Seven never showed any interest in him or really in romance at all.

Propaganda: Guys. PLEASE. I agree that Nat and Bruce are not a good match. But at least they're similar ages. At least Bruce didn't RAISE NAT AS HIS DAUGHTER. Bunny Drop's ending "ship" if you can even call it that is so infamously disgusting that it DESTROYED all good will the manga had before. Please. Vote Bunny Drop in the polls....

ALL THAT FUCKING BUILDUP AND SWEET SCENES OF A GUY RAISING HIS ADOPTED DAUGHTER ONLY FOR HER TO TURN OUT TO "NOT BE RELATED" AND HEY SHE'S IN HIGH SCHOOL NOW SO WHY DON'T THEY GET MARRIED AND HAVE A KID TOGETHER?! 🤮legit such a bad plot twist that the live action and anime adaptations cut off before the timeskip JUST to pretend it's all about the childraising aspects.
He raised her as his daughter. Everyone shipped him with the single mom next door, and everyone shipped her with the boy next door. Fans of the anime might never find out the true horror of the ending.

A beautiful supportive platonic male female friendship that was built up over many seasons who were shoved into a relationship in the last few episodes to follow up on romantic tension that had been dropped after season 1
For four seasons they reference to each other as “like siblings,” seemed to have no romantic interest in each other even hinted at, there were episodes where the gimmick revolves around the fact that they weren’t into each other sexually or romantically, and then in season 5, at the eleventh hour, they suddenly realized they’d been in love with each other all along. It made no sense. Who was asking for that? Also Myka had been fairly strongly implied to be in love with someone else for several seasons, but that person was a woman. Cold feet, I think.
Kira Nerys and Odo
Odo is CLEARLY married to Quark, and Kira and Dax should have gotten together, but it was the 90s, they couldn’t embrace the homoeroticism :(

Why people wished they stayed platonic:
Kelly and Marco Diaz
This was during the part of SvtFoE where Marco was being passed around to every possible girl except for his obvious endgame (Star) bc they wanted to draw it out as much as possible. This made poor Kelly caught in the cross-fire as a blink-and-you'll-miss it girlfriend for Marco that broke up with him off-screen??? And then they proceeded to just revert back to being friends again, so like…why did they date in the first place?
Spock and La’An Noonien-Singh

They hook up while in a mental hospital! Both of them aren't in the right mental state at ALL and it's literally Malia's FIRST KISS and then they immediately have sex??? And Malia just spent six years as a coyote in the wild and is mentally stuck at a younger age than Stiles?? It's so weird and gross and they both deserved better!!! Their dynamic is so fun when it's Stiles teaching/helping her, but so uncomfortable when they're romantic. Malia tramples his boundaries a lot and AGAIN. TJEY HOOKED UP IN A MENTAL HOSPITAL

Leo got paired up with the first random woman he meets and it is SO SAD </3 dude they dont even really like each other as partners. There is NO REASON for these guys to be in a relationship and they would've had such a good friendship. Also Leo has always been aroace to me which factors into it LOL part of his story was about how lonely he felt in his friend group once all his other friends paired up… I think that would've been really interesting to explore ESPECIALLY if he formed a strong friendship with Calypso rather than a romantic relationship
James Moriarty and Beatrice Holmes
To be honest they shouldn't even stay platonic, they should stay away from each other. Beatrice is Sherlocks kinda evil but not that evil anymore sister and James gets with her to use her?
