Removing per the FPC cleanup. Cato/Glimmer do not have enough to constitute a "creator preferred" pairing and as such Cato/Clove can't be this trope.


* ''Film/TheHungerGames'': There's Cato/Clove, as opposed to Cato/Glimmer.

* ''Film/MeanGirls'': In both the film and musical adaptation, Cady is in love with Aaron, but most of the fanfics and fanart which centers around her instead pair her with Janis, due to the authors and artists feeling that they have better chemistry. Meanwhile, Janis hooks up with a football player in the film (the musical removes this plot point), but most fans ship her with Regina, mainly due to the film having multiple scenes in which ​many characters claim Janis has a crush on Regina.

* Many ''Film/SierraBurgessIsALoser'' fans think that Sierra/Veronica would have been a much more likable and compelling couple than Sierra/Jamey, due to [[LesYay how close]] they end up becoming and the character development that arises from their friendship.

* ''Film/VictorFrankenstein'': Despite the fact that Igor ends up with Lorelei, far more fans ship him with Victor. This is due to feeling that he has far more chemistry with Victor and their HoYay filled friendship being the main focus. Add the fact that Creator/DanielRadcliffe plays Igor and Creator/JamesMcAvoy plays Victor, plus both actors knowingly encourage shippers in interviews, and it's little wonder that fans on Tumblr or who write fanfiction latched onto the pairing.

* ''Film/LastNightInSoho'' has Eloise paired canonically with John. However, it is more popular, at least in fanfiction, to ship her with Sandie. The fact that Eloise spends the film seeing flashbacks to Sandie's younger life, tries to solve her [[spoiler: supposed]] murder, and that Sandie's ghost ends up watching over Eloise at the end certainly helps. It also doesn't hurt that Sandie is played by Creator/AnyaTaylorJoy.

* ''Film/{{Descendants}}'': Mal/Evie is more popular than Evie/Doug. This is mainly due to the LesYay between them throughout the three movies. Many fans feel that the two had better chemistry with each other than Mal does with her actual boyfriends. Such as the scene where Evie is complimenting Mal's appearance in the mirror with her head on Mal's shoulder. Their duet [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NalipNz4e3g Space Between]] also got many to jump on board the ship.

* Fans of the Creator/RupertGrint movie ''Film/Cherrybomb2010'' can generally be split into two categories: devoted [[HoYay Malachy/Luke]] shippers who simply ignore Michelle's existence; and batshit crazy, ''foaming-at-the-mouth'' Malachy/Luke shippers who openly detest Michelle and loudly [[DieForOurShip wish her dead]]. This is a pretty extreme reaction given that in canon, both guys are seemingly straight and spend most of the movie competing for Michelle's affections. That said, several cast members have alluded to the strong homoerotic subtext of Malachy and Luke's relationship, so it probably doesn't exist ''entirely'' in the minds of [[YaoiFangirl yaoi fangirls]].

* While the 2005 ''Film/{{Doom}}'' film adaptation was primarily an horror-action film, some shipping still occurred, and the unquestioned [=OTP=] was between [[{{Twincest}} the fraternal twins]] John "Reaper" Grimm and Dr. Samantha Grimm, a BrotherSisterTeam who are the film's primary protagonists and serve as TheNotLoveInterest to one another. Part of this is thanks to a combination of their actors both being incredibly attractive and having shockingly good romantic & sexual chemistry together (with their mutual character arc of overcoming their estrangement following them having chosen different career paths being more akin to two embittered ex-spouses slowly coming back together). Easily the biggest factor, though, is the near-constant {{Relationship Writing Fumble}}s that offer ShipTease between the two, such as the film's ending featuring [[spoiler:John carrying an injured Sam to safety in a BridalCarry while she affectionately nuzzles his neck]].

* The most popular pairing in the fandom for ''Film/HanselAndGretelWitchHunters'' by far is [[IncestSubtext Hansel/Gretel]]. This is despite a short-"haired" witch taunting them by saying they should fornicate with each other in the film, which only disgusts them. Hansel also has a canonical female love interest (who isn't Gretel) in the [[TokenHeroicOrc white witch]] Mina, but chemistry between their actors was rather lacking (with it coming off as the two of them being StrangledByTheRedString). Add a RelationshipWritingFumble with Hansel and Gretel themselves (both characters are quite physically affectionate with one another, several scenes where they show concern for the other can come across as pining, and both actors being rather attractive), and you get this.

* ''Film/JennifersBody'': Most of the film's fandom ships Jennifer and Needy together. Other ships are basically nonexistent. This is mostly due to the huge LesYay and FoeYay between them. To the point that it's barely subtext. Even Creator/MeganFox said she played Jennifer as a lesbian with a crush on Needy. On Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn and Website/FanfictionDotNet this pairing has the most fanfiction of any other pairing. Needy/Chip barely has any on either website, however he does manage to avoid DieForOurShip.

Due to how both Bender and Allison are quite the outcasts, Bender/Allison fanfics have a known tendency to give them a BirdsOfAFeather dynamic. Though to be fair Bender's line to Allison early in the movie "I've seen you before you know" has been occasionally used as FanficFuel.
