Pacey!
Pacey!
Pacey!
Okay, okay, but that wasn't the point.
At our call for witnesses on the best love triangles in the series, many of you believed that you had to choose between #TeamDawson and #TeamPacey for the arrival of the series - season 1 for now - on Netflix.
Like what the debate is still raging, even 20 years later.
Finally, there is not too much debate, since Pacey wins almost all the votes.
“I have always been moved by the way he looked at Joey,” says Florine, 32.
The final choice was therefore a great joy and obvious to me!
"
“What girl hasn't dreamed of having a message painted on a wall?
"
Caroline, 39, goes even further: “Team Pacey without any hesitation!
How horrible this relationship with Dawson is.
Platonic and almost fraternal.
Joey didn't reveal herself until the moment she fell in love with Pacey.
She was finally becoming a woman, funny, comely.
Pacey, he's the guy every woman dreams of, isn't he?
Sexy rebellious but hyperattentive.
" Do you want more ?
“Dawson is unbearable!
Caricature of the only child who thinks the world revolves around him!
I loved to hate it, testifies an anonymous, who remade the integral on Prime Video during the first confinement.
The teenager in me was exhilarated once again by the romance of Joey and Pacey, the maturity of Pacey, the bad boy who falls in love with the 1st of the class.
Everything is here.
What girl has not dreamed of having a message painted on a wall in the heart of her city?

Log in completely
Marine, 35, was Joey's age when she saw Dawson, and identified herself completely: "First emotions, first adventures out of the house, first parties… And what I liked the Joey / Pacey / Dawson triangle!
The story was fine, the evolution of the characters logical, so in harmony with the procrastination that one has in adolescence.
I found myself in the emotions and doubts that seemed so right to me, which were not limited to simple questions of popularity, sex, influences that could be apprehended from this type of program.
“She was,
of course
, 100% Team Pacey, and is happy to have lived all this far from social networks.
Team prince charming or team bad boy
What about the #TeamDawson?
Someone there ?
Except at
20 Minutes
.
Ah, there is Angelique, 40 years old, who takes the opportunity to offer a reflection on the love triangle so dear to the series: “The question is above all to know if we are team prince charming or team bad boy.
Personally, I'm a fairy tale team… So obviously Dawson should have ended up with Joey because let's be clear, he's THE great love of the series, he's the one who capsized his heart from the start and he who, despite everything, did not 'never stopped loving him'.
For the same reason, she prefers Stefan to Damon in The Vampire Diaries: "Damon may be damn sexy in the role of the bad boy, the handsome stefan who sacrifices himself for his loved ones, the woman he loves, his brother, remains my favorite character.
Happy that he found his Caroline who in the end is a character so much more interesting than Elena ”.
"I have always encouraged Brooke behind my screen"
The Vampire Diaries
, another series from Dawson's creator Kevin Williamson, came back several times in your testimonials, "by far my favorite favorite love triangle," Nolwenn says.
As is The Brothers Scott, whose Lucas / Brooke / Peyton triangle is the first that Marion, 28, remembers when she was a teenager: "I'm team Brooke thoroughly, and the attitude that Lucas had towards her. many times made me always prefer his brother Nathan to him (because yes, which of the two brothers is better is the other constant debate with the series).
I have always encouraged Brooke behind my screen to be a strong, independent and happy woman.
I was even one of the people happy to see Lucas and Peyton leave the series at the end of season 6. "Selene also prefers Brooke to Peyton, finds that with her," Lucas was doing more madness, that there was more of passion and that they learned from each other as they are very different ”.
Before slipping a word on another triangle that marked him, Duncan / Veronica / Logan in
Veronica Mars
.
These testimonies and memories recall how the love triangle was a worn (and abused?) Spring in
teen shows
.
But it was also prevalent in other series, starting with sitcoms.
Barney / Ted / Robin of
How I Met Your Mother
forms, according to Sébastien, 40, “the most exciting love triangle”.
Benjamin does not forget that in a love triangle, there is always a “loser”, a side that ends on its own, and thinks of Joey in
Friends
: “He has to keep smiling.
It's sad ".
Neither
Cyrielle, 36, summons
Buffy
and her Buffy / Angel / Spike triangle, while specifying that it is not really one: “Buffy doesn't really have a choice to make between Angel and Spike, they follow each other, c 'is all ".
This is why she prefers "Angel / Buffy / Angelus (Angel without soul), or Angelus / Drusilla / Spike".
Jeanne, 24, took advantage of the first confinement to discover the series and therefore understood "the hype around the Spike / Buffy / Angel triangle": "Although much preferring the character of Spike to whom I have a love as eternal as it is tortured , I was glad Buffy didn't end with either one.
Angel was a perfect "first love" but he was also way too brooding and he couldn't stand a more confident Buffy.
Spike understood better that Buffy was the Slayer above all, but their relationship would never hold ”.
Before concluding: "I don't know if I would have appreciated this ending so much if I had watched the series at the time, but today seeing a single heroine without anything negative is always a pleasant surprise. .
What makes the strength of this triangle is that it has no answer, neither of the two vampires is the right one for Buffy ”.
