I was so happy when they got together and the final episode made me cry.

[(Anonymous)]

Not me. Fry was such a man child that even his best efforts to act like an adult were embarrassingly below standard. I hate it when media does that... pairs a sub par man child with a smart, capable woman and acts like this is ideal.

[(Anonymous)]

Fry was kind and loyal. Sometimes that's worth more than smart.

[(Anonymous)]

Generally speaking, that can be true. Unfortunately, Fry's problem isn't just that he's not smart (that isn't what I was referring to by the term "man child"), but that he's also extremely immature, inconsiderate and selfish and for me, those traits far outweigh his kindness or loyalty.

[greghousesgf]

he's also a total wimp who just accepts being abused, one big reason I never liked that show.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, you're right, Fry definitely has those traits, but they aren't ALL he is. Whether he has too much of that for a person to be able to stand is up to that individual person.

I love SO MANY things about why they get together. I loved that Fry always accepted Leela exactly as she was, violent tendencies and all. I loved that he tried to be a better person for her (succeeding sometimes and failing others). I love that he allowed her not to be as tense and uptight so she could learn to relax and enjoy herself. I loved that he didn't even blink at her being a mutant. I loved that when they got together, it made them both happy.

No relationship is perfect. But I really wanted them both to be happy. Futurama, despite the fact that it's a comedy, has some dark and sad parts to it, and in the midst of a deep depression that this show helped me get through, Fry and Leela finding happiness meant a lot to me.

[(Anonymous)]

You go, OP. They were cute and made each other happy.

[kaffy_r]

Knowing that they got together makes me happy, too.

[philstar22]

There is so much of this pairing that involves stuff I usually hate. And yet, somehow, with them it works for me. I wouldn't say I actively ship. But I do find them cute, and I'm happy they ended up together.

[(Anonymous)]

For me it works because they're both a mess, but they're happier and better people together. It almost works as a commentary on the dumb guy/smart pretty girl pairings I hate elsewhere.
