As someone who is part of that group...yeah, trying to make something to not encourage shipping/other stuff is never going to happen. Those with the ability to do so are more than happy to alter reality just to make it so. Canon is a plaything.
I've encountered at least three instances where two character which I think it would make sense to 'ship has been revealed to be related. Which I have read as the creator wanting to stop that 'ship in question. Does that work on shippers?

The works in question (franchise name in spoiler; name of the relatives in question in inline spoilers):
  • Ace Attorney (Apollo Justice and Trucy Wright are biologically siblings)
  • The TV-series Heroes (Peter Petrelli and Claire Bennet are biologically uncle and niece)
  • Zero Escape (Sigma and Phi are biologically father and daughter)

A horror movie from a dog's POV. I hope after every scene takes they gave the good boy lots of love and treats, to assure him that it was all an act and his owner is safe

Can't speak for the last, but the first two? NOPE. Doesn't even slow them down.

Came to post this myself. Not disappointed. Very down for this. Kinda live action Courage the Cowardly Dog.

The good boy better not die tho, because I will track the director down and put the boot to him.

Oddly misleading thumbnail but -

At least Cruise for one does his own stunts. Basically his, “..and I took it personal”.

Holy shit, my world just got rocked. Just finished season 17 of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, and the final episode ends with a tribute to Lynne Marie Stewart, aka Charlie's mom, Bonnie Kelly; she passed away in February of this year. My heart dropped. Then when I Googled her, I found out she was also Miss Yvonne, "The Most Beautiful Woman In Puppetland" from Pee Wee's Playhouse?!? Wow, death just kicked my adulthood in the balls, and when I was hunched over in agony, it throat punched my childhood.

@Mister Mumbler, you're a fellow IASIP fan; did you know any of this???

The confrontation that we have been waiting for! Hopefully we get that sequence where these two fight each other, then fight together to kill a horde of demon, then immediately try to kill each other again.

No, also completely caught off guard when I was seeing comments on the trailer for the season finale that mentioned it, nor the Pee Wee connection. I think the reason it flew under the radar is that the Hackman deaths were also around that time.

Man, this sucks. Bonnie was a staple, and that she was integral in the last episode of season 17 is fitting, but where The Gang goes with this... man, my heart hurts. I'm sure they'll write her away in the crassest way possible (she'd want nothing less,) but damn it, Bonnie...

Pretty sad. I was pleasantly surprised at how good Dances With Wolves is, and he was a pretty decent chunk of that.
