As I've just added Galavant and Teen beach movie examples, I've took a moment to think about it...And in my opinion, there are actually two tropes described there.

I mean, I've noticed a pattern: the characters that fall for the trope as it is described are the most often either naive ([[Disney/{{Frozen}} Anna]], [[Film/{{Enchanted}} Giselle and Edward]], [[Film/TeenBeachMovie Lela and Tanner]]) or at least WrongGenreSavvy or WideEyedIdealist ([[Film/{{Stardust}} Tristan]], Series/{{Galavant}} ). They're proven wrong usually quickly (one hour or so in Film/{{Enchanted}} , Disney/{{Frozen}}, Film/TeenBeachMovie, five minutes in Series/{{Galavant}} ). The trope seems especially tied to one hour and a half movies for that reason. And either way, the actual soulmate is the one who spend the most screen time with the character; helping to put the spectators on the railways of truth. The reason? Obviously, the scenarist intended to make false soulmates out of the first two characters, from day one.

On the other end, you cannot possibly qualify as naive or idealist some others characters listed in examples, here. Plus they are

On the other end, you cannot possibly qualify as naive or idealist some others characters listed in examples, here. Plus they are \"proven wrong\" after two or even 20 years, can you still call that a mistake after that long?

I\'m under the impression those examples fell under either AudienceReactions (\"Buffy\" example) or IntendedAudienceReaction (\"Spider-man\" example). But, the couples were certainly not intended, from the very beginning, to be false soulmates in the original creator\'s mind. In \"Buffy\" case, WordOfSaintPaul confirm is was not intentional, so the \"lot of fans\" opinion sound rather like ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike (or more exactly, Complaining About Ships You Don\'t Like ?) or at least should be in YMMV.

The \"false soulmates\" impression that comes to a fanboy\'s mind, or \"fixing\" from new creators shall maybe be another trope...What do you think?
