>>105631085It is perfectly understandable why nothing happened.
A. Can't really have romance of any kind in a kid's show
B. They're cousins
It is just like, If Gwen were a teenager while Ben was only 10 it wouldn't be a problem.
That is especially true of the opposite.
The show would then just be like a cross between Inspector Gadget and Johnny Quest.
But the fact they were around the same age with cohabitation, risking their lives, helping each other.
It would be different if it was just some haha comedy cartoon like the current one is or if the characters were more 1 dimensional action heroes the way they were in other incarnations.
They had flaws and showed a wide range of emotions with time spent on interpersonal drama instead of just whatever the villain of the week was.
If it was just single season it also wouldn't have been so weirdly aggravating.
It was the perfect storm for making me feel some kind of strange OTP related pain that I assume is felt by fanfiction writers all the time.
