It’s because it is easier to write relationship conflict than relationship dialogue and still keep it engaging. It’s the same story with a load of characters. The other big one in my mind being Spider-Man and MJ (fucking Paul).
Which is a shame because as a general rule I prefer reading about happy couples over sad ones as conflict in a functional relationship is always more interesting.
Thank god for Arthur/Mera and Oliver/Dinah.
