Two Guys and a Girl | comment |
For the 1990s sitcom, see Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place. They grew up together, they've always been best friends, they're going to be happy forever, right? Suuuure. Then the plot happens. Inevitably, the main character, often an All-Loving Hero, gets pitted against the other guy, who is the Rival Turned Evil. Usually Because Destiny Says So. The girl, who usually owns the Amulet of Extreme Plot Significance, gets kidnapped a lot or is probably fought over by the two guys, usually via their own clashing ideas on how to protect her or just romantically (especially if they're hitting puberty). The Hero, The Lancer, and The Heart with the other stuff pruned off. Whether romance is in the equation varies; sometimes the girl is the sister of one of the guys, though usually not by blood. Expect a lot of Slash Fic based on tenuous Ho Yay/Foe Romance Subtext between the two males, most of which applies Die for Our Ship to the girl. Highly prone to feature a Cock Fight, especially if the girl is not related to either of the boys. Also prone to the With a Friend and a Stranger dynamic. The setup of Two Girls and a Guy isn't unheard of, but is less common, probably due to a tendency to make The Protagonist male. A kind of Love Triangle. See also Cast Calculus. Contrast Friend Versus Lover. If a Five-Man Band gets formed see Three Plus Two. It'll often be a spare Love Interest and a fifth wheel, especially if there's emphasis on the romance. This trope and its Gender Inversion, on the other hand, can sometimes come off as a "Two Plus One" variation. Examples: |
