Reblog if you have mourned the death of a fictional character.

’80s movie couples that wouldn’t work in real life:

“Brand and Andy: The Goonies
Brand is a hot, athletic, young stud who somehow manages to make wearing shorts over sweatpants look good, but after that he’s pretty generic. (And let’s face it, he was kind of a jerk to his sweet younger brother, Mikey.) Thus Andy and Brand will have a generic high school relationship that will end in a generic amicable post-high school, pre-college breakup. And when Andy goes off to school, surprisingly, it’s Mikey that the former cheerleader will keep in touch with. He’ll write funny letters and send her the most thoughtful care packages. And she’ll wonder why her mind keeps drifting to that time in the cave when she accidentally kissed him and how “beautiful” it was. One night on a visit home in Oregon, she’ll bump into him at Mouth & Stef’s place (Obviously those two ended up together, the chemistry between them at the end of Goonies is ridiculous.) And, what do you know, Andy was right. The parts of Mikey that didn’t work so good definitely caught up to the parts of him that did. He’s sensitive, he’s encouraging (like the way he encouraged her to play the organ so they could get through another of One-Eyed Willie’s booby traps), he’s got an adventurous spirit, he’s a good kisser and their age difference wasn’t as big a deal as it was in high school. She’ll realize he’s the perfect guy for her. “Goonies never say die!” will be part of Chunk’s toast at their wedding.”
