#like margot and lucas had romantic chemistry from the get go so it was easy to like them

[blues-valentine]

I still prefer Margot and Lucas on Goosebumps rather than Margot and Isaiah. I don’t know if it’s just me but they don’t really have romantic chemistry so it’s very hard to read their scenes as romantic. There’s not natural spark in there. And to me, not matter the trope, it has to have some chemistry, otherwise it doesn’t work. The last speech when Isaiah was in the hospital just gave me best friends and not like you’re about to lose the person you’re in love with. The break up scene between Lucas and Margot had more angst than that. They need to fix that to make their romantic relationship believable later on.

And it’s the fact that the childhood best friends to lovers trope is a hit or a miss because most of the times the audience just has to accept by the narrative that they “know each other” and is often a whole tell don’t show situation. Aside from them knowing each other from when they were kids – I still don’t know why they like each other if not by familiarity or the need to explore a potential relationship. Like I am just supposed to accept the history that we don’t experience with them on screen. I was expecting them to give me some buzz the whole season but didn’t. Margot and Lucas probably won’t be endgame but I hope they get a better closure.
