The Good Side of Bromance

Part II of the Bromance Series. Last time I talked about some of the poor Bromances out there and how often they end up with bros trying to kill bros. That ain't cool. This time I will share some examples of good Bromances. A true Bromance is synonymous with "Brotherhood", but more commonly amongst two bros rather than a bunch of bros. So here are a few examples of successful Bromances (note how they save each others life on multiple occasions, they don't try to kill each other!):

Harry Potter and Ronald Weesley

Is there a better Bromance than these two? They become instant life-long friends from the moment they meet. It is true they have their differences and their quarrels from time to time, but what succesful relationship doesn’t? In the end they pull together and save the wizarding world. Ron ends up marrying their other best friend, Hermoine. None if them at any time ever felt like a third-wheel. In fact, Harry ended up marrying Ron’s sister… and Ron was okay with it! Talk about weird --talk about awesome!

Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gambgee 

Perhaps one of the best examples of a good Bromance in all the history of nonhistorical fiction: Frodo and Sam. Would you carry your friend up the side of an enormous  volcano just to return a ring? After he had told you togo home (not accurate to the books, but I like it!)? After you had walked and climbed hundreds of miles and almost died??? I thought not.  

Two friends, nigh unseparably. Travelling to the edge of darkness, putting their lives on the line for one another. No two brothers in fiction hold such loyalty and willing to sacrifice so much for the other, than these two little Hobbits.

Capt. Jack Sparrow and Will Turner

NOT.

Apollo and Starbuck

Very few – actually… very, very, very, very, few – probably remember these two iconic characters from the original 1978 Battlestar Galactica. These two friends were as close to brothers as you can get. They were always loyal to one another and did whatever they could do, fighting side by side, to destroy their enemies. (Do not compare to new Battlestar Galactica where Starbuck is interestingly enough… a girl?)
