The Take | From Enemies to BFFS: The Magic of Building True Friendship 💖| Trope Explained @thetake | Uploaded 2 months ago | Updated 7 hours ago
We all know about frenemies, but there's another interesting trope on screen that doesn't get quite as much attention: when enemies find common ground and end up becoming legitimate best friends. From Gilmore Girls' Rory and Paris, to Crazy Ex-Girlfriend's Rebecca and Valencia, to Pretty Little Liars' Alison and Mona, to Legally Blonde's Elle and Vivian and beyond, so many of our favorite films and shows dip into this trope. Sometimes two people will just never get along, but other times they actually realize that the things that make them different actually work well together. (That is, if they can stop fighting long enough to notice…) So, let’s look at the enemies to besties trope, what makes it so entertaining, and how it inspires us to have an open mind when it comes to friendships!
