Who is NOT in favor of Ron and Kim being together?


NOT ME! (ok so im on a mega sugar high, bored & nothing to do right now, so here is a long post lol enjoy!)

Since when do ALL best friends HAVE to take that next step and become more than friends!? Was there anything wrong with the way they were before? The kim/ron being a couple thing, it just seemed to happen out of nowhere, not to mention the fact that it was said more than one time that the chances of two people like them being together was unlikely and they shouldn't be together. I remember wade saying something to ron like "the odds are somehow in your favor even though they shouldn't be". Kim even told her parents that ron was not boyfriend material and we never see ron talk to his parents about kim in that way!

Yes, there were times where both of them was jealous of the other being with someone else or getting the attention of someone else etc, but I feel this was only because both of them were the only friends each other had throughout there WHOLE lives, so in a way they are dependant on each other and they don't know of anything else. Doesn't anyone else think this is very strange? O_o I mean look at Ron, sure he is a social outcast, lazy sloth, paranoid & scares easily, has a naked molerat for a pet, he is WEIRD (kim acknowledges this) etc. but he has a chill laid-back easy going personality/attitude so you would think he would find other people like him to hang out with. Then look at Kim, there should be NO damn reason why she only has ONE freaking friend her whole life, and it's not just because she constantly saves the world. She is popular, well known and well liked, she has style, is up-beat, involved and interested in things and has a somewhat good personality. In fact, that bothered me how they brought Monique in..sure she could relate and be friends with both kim AND ron respectively, but I felt she was meant to be kim's friend more because she is a girl and they can talk about GIRL STUFF and do girlie things together.

ANYWAY, this is what I don't understand....they are both best friends, naturally they start crushing on and going out with other people as they mature, and since they are both the ONLY best friends they have, they literally ONLY have each other, of course they are going to be jealous and worry if the other is happy in there respective relationship! (ie kim/ron isn't paying attention to me or spending as much time with me) And if they both didn't feel that way about each other or have ever thought about being more than friends, why would they talk to each other about there crush of the moment or who they are going out with!?

I felt like they both could have found way more compatible people to be with, people they have chemistry with. It's obvious kim could have any guy she wants, ron is so out of her league, ron could have hit it off pretty well with tara if he had been aware enough to notice that she really liked him, and don't play Ron Stoppable you know you LOVED that kiss from bonnie! It also felt like they were just put together just for the hell of it. Like the only way they both decided to date was because of a 'settle for less' & the 'your my only option' thing, especially for Kim..we don't see her express or mention any feelings of ron in that way throughout the series, in fact to me she comes across as having doubts or feeling sorry for him. They are both amazing friends, but what the heck is it that MADE them develop feelings for each other besides knowing each other? I think it's there lack of a dating and social life with other people.

* (side note, did anyone ever notice how bored or "tweaked" kim looked whenever ron was talking about or dragging her through something that interested him & meant the world to him like beuno nacho, wrestlemania, camp wannaweep, etc. but whenever kim did the same to ron, he tolerated it better, even had some fun with it!? like going shopping, clothes, makeup, cheerleading, trouble with bonnie, etc.) Jeez kim, stingy much!? did it ever seem to anyone like Kim could not stand ron to get all the attention or do be able to do things she couldn't, when she's always blabbing on about how she can do anything because she is a possible (high expectations much, kim?) Kim could be pretty rude and annoying and stingy, 'take charge' a lot of the time. I wonder if ron ever came to his senses and realized this, if he'd lose interest? *

She's probably jealous because ron gets to have super cool mystical monkey powers and she doesn't get squat, I love how throughout the series ron goes through this sort of personal growth stuff and steps up as a sidekick, and all kim gets is a wardrobe change lol

That's a LOT of rambling considering you contradicted your own point in your first 2 sentences.

"Who's not in favor?

"Not me!"

Therefore, you are in favor.


Lay off the red bull and crack. lol

Even though you were on a mega sugar high and were bored, I completely agree. I feel like the movie "So The Drama" was less what the writers would want and more Disney-fied. I know it was on Disney, but there was no need for them to end up together. It's like you said, what's wrong with them just staying friends?

I felt like after that movie, the show lost its core features that I liked. Part of it was even if relationships didn't work out with other people, at least they still had their friendship.

Sidenote: Why did they have to get the car? Part of her shtick was getting favors and rides from former clients. Why get rid of a good thing?

ANYWAY. I think you're completely right. Tara and Ron would've been great together. Kim could have really had any guy she wanted. Josh Mankey was just kind of a nice, but boring guy who was a little too laid back about everything.
