Need help.
Long story fucking short, my best friend and I have been discussing representation of women & men as good friends in media with nothing romantic. Whereas they are just friends, no sexual tension, & don’t end up dating.
So far we have:
- Olivia & Elliot from SVU (yes you could make a case they don’t meet our criteria but we think they do).
- Judy & Nick from Zootopia
- Rosa & Jake from Brooklyn Nine-Nine
- Moana & Maui from Moana
- Ralph & Vanellope from Wreck it Ralph
- Sometimes in the comics Steve Trevor & Diana. Wonder Woman.
- Abby & Gibbs on NCIS.
Any other examples you all can think of? Can be on tv, books, movies, comics, etc.
Reid and Emily from Criminal Minds. (Also Reid and Garcia)
Bull and Marissa from Bull.
Eleanor and Jason from The Good Place.
Luke and Serene from In Other Lands.
Emma Frost and Hank McCoy, the X-Men.The Doctor and Donna. Part of why I loved her as a companion.
Sherlock and Joan in Elementary
This may or may not count depending on where canon takes their relationship, but Finn and Rey in the Star Wars sequel trilogy.
T’Challa and Okoye, Black Panther
- Briar and his three adoptive sisters – Tris, Daja, and Sandry – from the Emelan series by Tamora Pierce.
- Jadzia Dax and Benjamin Sisko from Star Trek: Deep Space 9.
- Pidge and Hunk from Voltron.
- Gabby (Honey Badger) and Wade (Deadpool) from X-23.
- Kate and Clint from various Hawkeye titles.
- Kaye and Corny from Tithe by Holly Black.
- Magnus and Carey from The Adventure Zone.
The Unusuals has Walsh & Shraeger AND Cole & Beaumont.
Blue Bloods, for all its faults, has done a great job with Danny Reagan & his various female partners over the years, making them supportive friends and colleagues without it ever being sexual or romantic.
Not sure if it really counts because it’s not really one of the main relationships in the show in the same way, but Battle Creek’s Russ and Guz are clearly friends and clearly not interested in each other romantically.
