So many things were on point with your statement!!! The thing that made Corey and Topanga so unique was that they GREW into liking one another.
This is the format I would’ve chosen for GMW:
Season 1: JUST FRIENDS, no romance or crushes mentioned or hinted at
Season 2: first part same thing BUT by the middle of season 2-the end Riley admits to Maya that she’s starting to see Lucas as more than a friend.
Season 3: they have their first date and kiss
And meanwhile as all of this is happening, Maya herself won’t just be sitting around single. They could have given her Charlie or Zay, maybe not as a permanent boyfriend but just someone to date for some episodes. That way no need for the triangle because Maya would have her own boy, her own life to be honest. Also they could have room for more stories to tell
People instantly saw thru it began shipping everyone else and GMW reacted to it.
yup, Jacobs started the show off on romance; even little hints at it like Lucas shielding riley from rain, the horse ride in GM Friendship, and the "my moment will be my moment" in GM Truth. But then told fans to stop focusing on ships lol you started it dude.
I mean fans do that anyway, for the show Henry Danger they ship Charlotte and Henry and those two have never hinted at even a small crush. However JACOBS, unlike Dan Schneider, actually ENCOURAGED lucaya and rucas. It backfired because he realized he screwed the heck up when he saw majority of the fans WERE NOT here for rucas and then he threw a love triangle in to fix it but that took fans away from the messages. Fans started paying attention to if Lucas and Maya were matching clothes or how close together they sat or, get this, how older Maya wore flannel in GM Bay Window which to them meant that she was the one for Lucas and older riley wore plain clothes so she's for Farkle. I can't make this stuff up if I tried.
You can’t please everyone, Jacobs tried and while I applaud him for that, well look where we are.
