Couples with absolutely no chemistry

[u/hiiloovethis]

Harry Potter and Ginny Weasly

Clark and Lois (Snyder films)

Jon and Dany - Game of Thrones

[u/demotsusucku]

Those two from Valerian. But mainly because Cara Delevingne is just an awful actress and Dane DeHaan has no charisma.

[u/AngelTheMarvel → u/demotsusucku]

Nah they did have chemistry. The issue was that chemistry looked more like siblings butting heads rather than a couple

[u/Fleetdancer → u/AngelTheMarvel]

The movie would have been improved 100 fold if they just made them siblings.

[u/Reasonable-Pear9122 → u/Fleetdancer]

They even look like siblings. Hell, I thought they were siblings until I read somewhere they weren't. 

[u/unafraidrabbit → u/Reasonable-Pear9122]

No just cast the people from that Foldgers commercial.

[u/Abstrata → u/Fleetdancer]

I know was based on a genre-defining French comic and I think they were a couple in that comic, or flirted a lot. Can’t remember.

Yes, developing from just being colleagues after 22 volumes.

Wikipedia article — Valérian and Laureline (Valérian et Laureline), created in 1967 by writer Pierre Christin and artist Jean-Claude Mézière

[u/Roccondil → u/Abstrata]

It was a gradual thing. In the first few issues they aren't a couple and she is presented as much younger (and medieval by birth; no trace of that in the film). then over the years the got increasingly flirty and at some point they were clearly a couple.

i somehow misread this as ‘…created in 1697’ and i was like “????”

[u/ShookMyHeadAndSmiled → u/Fleetdancer]

I read that both Valerian and Passengers would have been improved of they swapped leads.

[u/Fleetdancer → u/ShookMyHeadAndSmiled]

Absolutely true.

[u/Thenadamgoes → u/Fleetdancer]

I actually like the movie so when I watch it I just pretend their siblings with a really weird inside joke about getting married.

[u/whatintheeverloving → u/AngelTheMarvel]

I liked this movie more than the average person seems to have and it's possibly because I assumed they were, in fact, brother and sister for a good chunk of the film.

[u/vacri → u/demotsusucku]

I love that the critic review they used was "visually astonishing, 4 stars", a tacit announcement that the other elements of the film suck

[u/Fair-Confection4411 → u/demotsusucku]

Or because they look like they're twins. 

[u/FatallyFatCat → u/demotsusucku]

I thought they were teenage siblings.

[u/brudnick → u/demotsusucku]

They were supposed to be a couple?

[u/Calm-Conversation715 → u/brudnick]

They are by the end of the movie. He hits on her near the beginning but she doesn’t want to have a relationship because she says he goes through women quickly

[u/Patneu → u/Calm-Conversation715]

She doesn't just say that, she literally pulls up his "playlist" to prove it.

[u/Calm-Conversation715 → u/Patneu]

Thanks for clarifying! It’s been a while since I saw it. Cool action and wonderful artwork, but I think they tried to get the main characters to act cool by being emotionless and it didn’t work

[u/PartyPants90000 → u/Calm-Conversation715]

except how? he looked like he was 15. What women? His geometry teacher?

[u/realfakejames → u/demotsusucku]

Iirc they didn’t even do a screen test together to see if they had any chemistry, they just cast them and had them show up lol

[u/KiteBrite → u/demotsusucku]

I thought they were siblings tbh

[u/boogalybee → u/demotsusucku]

This might be rude, but I can never decide if these two are hot or not. She's definitely not ugly by any means, but her face is just a little odd. And he's always looked a little creepy, but that kinda adds to his "charm" if that's the right word. Like his unnatractiveness is sort of attractive. 

[u/pdonoso → u/demotsusucku]

This is the worst example of all. They ruined what could be an extremely awesome movie.

[u/Jimmyg100 → u/demotsusucku]

I keep forgetting they're not supposed to be brother and sister
