I think love triangles are better if they get a bit bloody.

I really want more love triangles in end in threesomes.

I don't always mind them, but I do hate when the sweet nice girl next door steals the "mean girl's" boyfriend, but it's okay because she's the sweet nice girl door. (So Veronica Lodge and Betty Cooper.) Um... nope. Sorry. I still feel at least a little sorry for the "bitch/mean girl" (depending on rating and target age group) in that case. I'm also sick of the guy getting away with being the center of the triangle.

Oh this so much. Especially when there's the phenomenon of "Girl Hate" out there that pits girls against each other (and usually for the attention of a guy).

Yeah, I hate when a love triangle is solved or has an obvious outcome by one of the choices conveniently being a bitch (which also happens a lot when it's two guys with a girl in the center, but then it's more about one guy being a dick to the girl, thus leading her to realize the other guy is the "right" choice, instead of the guys fighting with each other.)

IA with you but have you seen the really old comics where Betty is actually creepily obsessed with Archie? They toned her down in later years.

I think so, yeah... originally it seems like she actually wasn't so much the "sweet smart girl next door" as much as she was a more naive version of Veronica. And definitely a bit creepy.

Even though they were the "trope namers" for the kind of thing you're talking about and it's referenced a lot in pop culture, I don't think they're really a straight example. They are best friends and the status quo for the story is that he never chooses one (except in The Married Life, which is a separate story, and awesome, and the side story to that where he chooses Valerie, which imo is the best ship along with Betty/Veronica but I am going to stop tl;dring about Archie now because it's getting way off point.). I agree that it needs to stop, in any case.

I always wondered why two hot babes like Betty and Veronica were so berserk over Archie. he was kind of a dork.

I agree. I was actually just complaining about love triangles in another community.
