- they’re one of my comfort ships and their scenes make me happy so i made this vid for me and others who DO ship them. if u don’t that’s fine idc, but don’t be negative abt them in my comments go to a duncney vid instead if that’s who u prefer.

gwen and duncan were so cute as best friends, but would've been even better as a couple- IF IT WERE WRITTEN CORRECTLY! i hated how their romantic relationship revolved around courtney 🤦🏾♀️
Agreed
No 🤢
definitely
Wrong
No
I like the idea of Gwen and Duncan much more than them with Trent and Courtney. However, I think everyone can agree the writers were forced to do something they didn't plan on and it ruined a lot of things for the audience.
Ya, Fresh TV could’ve broken Duncney and Gwent on their own terms; that way nobody would dislike Gwuncan as much.
PURRR PERIODT TRYEE
yea...i wonder what happened
nah the audience just bitches to much, i had no problem cuz i jsut didnt give a fuck about what they did. I enjoyed all the shows up to world tour. Cuz you wanna talk about ruining character Duncan was literally ruined in all stars. but agian no point in crying.
It wasn’t because of the audience actually but thought cause Cartoon Network suggested it…
Courtney was trying to change him. Gwen understood him
Don't wanna be that girl but dang! Didn't expect this many likes in such a short space of time
With Courtney it was the typical “good girl” and “bad boy” scenario where the girl tries to change him into someone better and he does only bc she’s ✨special✨

I’m not ngl I wish they had stayed as friends, their romantic relationship had next to no buildup and just felt kinda forced, and male/female friendships are criminally underrepresented.
Edit: why is this my most liked comment
I feel like Gwen is that kind of character who gets along with more guys than girls. Gwen was frieds with Geoff, Dj, Owen and Cody.
Why she & Duncan have to be another platonic realtionship when they could be really badass partners in crime.
@Nightwing The Badass no it was Heather and Jeff
400th like
I wish this didn’t happen because Heather would be eliminated and Then Duncan and Gwen will be a thing and break up in all stars on a good note and Duncan got ruined in all starts I would of Duncan gets eliminated and Gwen Eliminates herself so then it would be on a good note and Duncan and Courtney just be friendish Duncan gets 5 or 4th in all starts and Gwen and Duncan help Courtney and she wins the whole session
Really? I didn't know that. Tell me more.
As a gwuncan shipper we should definitely act like all stars never happened
Yes we should
yeah, it took away all character development any character had and flipped it on it's head, they ruined everyone that came in it
I probably would ship them apart from the fact I don’t like gwen and I don’t care for duncan
Agree
Agreed.
IT WAS SUCH A GOOD FRIENDSHIP

Friendship 🤪🤪🤪🤪💯💯💯💯💯
It's weird how World Tour established that Duncan did not give a crap about Courtney getting with another dude, and actively worked with Alejandro to manipulate Courtney. Then suddenly in All Stars he cares about her apathy towards him??? It's just poor writing tbh, like if you're going to work with a cheating plotline at the very least make it mount up to something. It didn't even mount up to Gwourtney's friendship so it all just feels so pointless. Very true to reality tv shows in real life tho lmao
That is a really good point
We all just try to forget that all stars ever happened
well if you watched victorious beck is like duncan and courtney is jade when she flirted with moose
There's gonna be new seasons so maybe they can work out the love triangle?
@@ckie_princess7962 yeah potentially, but I honestly see them skewing towards getting Duncan and Courtney back together since they're a fan favorite. Personally I think they're toxic but I also keep in mind this is a cartoon with very extreme personalities based on stereotypes, so I can't really fully fault them for being toxic lol
They were cute but development tho not the greatest. All stars made everyone OOC tho
Their development was great it was simply HOW the relationship started that caused all the derailment
I really don't like this ship because it's really pushy and other stuff, Courtney and Gwen and Courtney and Duncan are good ships
@@april2kawaii Courtney and Duncan were terribly toxic how were they a good ship 😂
@@domenicavallone28 I thought it was a good ship, just because somebody broke up doesn't mean their toxic. Duncan wanted to make Courtney jealous. But I still thought they were a good ship...
@@april2kawaii they were fine in season 1. And breaking up isn’t why they are toxic. Duncan stopped caring after a while and cheated on Courtney. Courtney became physically and verbally abusive, aggressive, bossy, controlling and manipulative…they’re relationship shouldn’t be glamorized 😂😂 they were only healthy in tdi when you think about it
Duncan and Gwen are a better couple than Duncan and Courtney for the sole reason that Gwen wasn't a controlling abuser. As someone who has helped people with relationships similar to Duncan and Courtney, I can say from experience that Duncan would've been miserable if he stayed with her, especially with Courtney's refusal to change herself at large while trying to force Duncan to be "perfect". Gwen allowing him to be himself is what a reasonable partner is supposed to do, and the fact that they've had friendly chemistry since season 1 instead of starting as enemies gives them a leg up as well.
And like a normal person, I ignore the existence of All-Stars because he got derailed so hard there.
AGREED SISTA! 😤🤚🏽
Couldn't agree more! Man, I wish the Gwuncan shippers weren't so outnumbered by the Duncney shippers!
God bless you
True!!
Exactly! 💯
The Bi alt solidarity
Indeed.
Courtney was TOO controlling over Duncan and kept trying to change him.
Oh trust me us duncney shippers are aware of that. But we only ship duncney in season 1 and somewhat of season 2, the writers just had to ruin it.
For the better
Duncney Season 1, that's all, that's it. Everything after that 💩
@@virgobabyy Fr. That’s why I pretend total drama ended in season 1.
i shipped them be=efore they started the whole relationship
how can people say they are forced, their relationship started to be build on season 1, was developed in the hole season 2 and theen they finally get together in season 3
This‼️
Duncan should’ve dumped Courtney then before dating Gwen instead of in secret bc they’re both wack for that
literally like you can see the development happening throughout the video
I guess they said that because, like she was in the moles and he in the catfishes (I have to use a translator) they didn't interact much
@@teent1tans045 but i just love the drama
I found this relationship much healthier than Courtney and Duncan. you just don't ship a couple where the guy receives that many nutshots from the gal, one of those with a whole guitar.
I disagree
I agree. I don't understand the opposites attract trope, and with the constant arguing and hurting each other, it makes the relationship more toxic. At least Gwen and Duncan aren't putting each other in pain every time they talk.
@@moonstonemadness9154 and not even verbal abuse just having a hard time talking it out and addressing how they feel.
I hated how she treated him that was seriously messed up and she was also trying to change him too you don’t do that to someone you love I don’t completely hate the ship but I don’t completely like it either if you know what I mean and I hate Courtney she thinks she’s all high and mighty because she has a lawyer 🙄
@@liyahb4316 yeah the money card doesn't get you far after enough people hate your guts.
I love how their fistbump started just that then progressed to a whole handshake with a hug
Gwen and Duncan had way more chemistry and their relationship itself wasn’t near as toxic as Duncan’s relationship with Courtney. They had a great friendship in seasons 1 & 2 so they were developed, the issue with Gwuncan was not them dating but HOW they got together. Duncan was wrong fro cheating, but the writers were right in ending Duncney. Courtney was such a horrible girlfriend especially in season 2. She was bossy, physically and verbally abusive, aggressive, controlling (she wrote a whole paper on how Duncan should change himself…a big red flag but y’all drool over them for some reason) and overall manipulative. Duncney was only a healthy couple in season 1, whereas Gwuncan had better understanding of each other and they were much healthier (aside from Duncan cheating; I’m talking about the relationship as a whole). The main issue was that the writers ruined Duncan by making him cheat, which is turn derailed Gwen and Courtney. If Courtney and Duncan broke up on normal terms and THEN Duncan got with Gwen then it would have been amazing!! You guys just hate on them because Courtney says “jump” and the fandom asks “how high”. She was genuinely a horrible person in TDA and wasn’t much better in TDWT. Her only good season in terms of her being a kindhearted yet driven girl was in TDI, because we all know how derailed she got in TDAS.
And also Trent wasn’t a good boyfriend either at the end. He was overly jealous, insecure and unstable with his emotions and coping mechanisms. He would have bitter remarks towards Gwen and Duncan which wasn’t exactly earning brownie points. I wished the writers handled this in a much better way than they did, because as seen in this video Gwen and Duncan had so much potential and chemistry
I liked Trent and Gwen. The problem for me was that Trent was just the perfect boyfriend. But that was it. He wasn't interesting on his own for me and season 2 just proved how he cannot cope without her as you said
I agree because personally gwen is my favourite and I loved trent and they ruined him but even in season 2 I loved duncan and gwen
And I nearly cried when trent called gwen and duncan punk wannabees cause I was like that's just rude
Thank youuuu!!!!!!
@NateTD finally someone said it, Duncan and Courtney broke up BEFORE Gwen and Duncan kissed
Wow imagine being jealous and insecure when ur being cheated on😱😱😱😱😱🤭🤭🤭🥺‼️‼️
I never realized just how much good banter they had until now 🖤💙
Ikkkkkk
i’m glad that no matter who you ship, we all agree that all stars sucked
Exactly, only Pakithew Island (or whatever it was called) was worse. All-Stars had too much potential.
I don't care how mad the Courtney x Duncan shippers are about Gwencan, you cannot pretend like they didn't have chemistry. Gwen understands Duncan and accepts his bad boy personality. She never tried to change him. Courtney tried too hard to mold Duncan into the perfect boyfriend and was too damn controlling and abusive. While I don't agree with Duncan cheating on Courtney, I do know that he was much happier with Gwen.
The only Courtney I ship with Duncan is S1 Courtney
Duncan and Gwen were feeling kinda forced though
Gwent should've stayed a thing honestly
Too bad, they had to ruin it in All Stars.
@LeviCreme okay just a question
Did you watch the manhunt?
I always hide that I like gwuncan bc everyone hates it, it's so good to know that there are more people who like it. Although they don't want to accept it, they both looked so good together, they had a lot of chemistry and they understood each other very well, I ve always thought that duncney was much more toxic and if the creators hadnt ruined their relationship in all stars, gwuncan would have been perfect.
Yes! Honestly I don’t give a crap if people hate Gwuncan, I can understand why they do, all I ask is that you don’t shame or hate on people who do like it.
I ship island duncey more then any other duncey but it was right because Courtney wasent abusing in island and she wasent trying to make Duncan to fit the “perfect boyfriend” role like she did in the end of action/celebrity manhunt while gwen and Duncan were spending more time together she started going mad and crazy to the point where she take advantage of Justin’s feelings and make Duncan jealous and win so I ship action gwuncan for the most part THE WORST PART IS SHE RANDOMLY STARTED CARING ABOUT DUNCAN AGAIN IN SEASON THREE but it was confirmed that she started to realize how she was treating Duncan and confessed that she messed up and started to say more nice things about him like “he can do anything he puts his mind to” but Duncan had already developed feelings for gwen and when she found out they kissed she was heartbroken but mad that’s where things took another turn for the worst when she flirted with Tyler and heathers man Alejandro trying to make Duncan jealous but that’s when gwen feels bad for Courtney but proceeds to hook up with Duncan and in all stars that’s when she messed up completely when gwen came back to make things right but then Courtney hated her then made use believe she forgave gwen but in muddy sundae episode she out of nowhere said that she was only pretending to be Gwen’s friend for the money smh. In the end they are all traitors Duncan for cheating, gwen for proceeding to date Duncan after she saw how sad Courtney was and Courtney for backstabbing gwen to pretend to be her friend. Also gwen and Duncan were planning to tell her when in Greece by the phrase “fine let’s do it, let’s clean the air” but Alejandro took advantage of that by forcing Tyler to tell Courtney that he witnessed gwen and Duncan kissed they were mad because they wanted Courtney to not go crazy because she was almost obsessed with Duncan.
lol this is out of order. BUT WHEN YOUR MAD BECAUSE THERES ONLY A CODY AND GWUNCAN BLOG AND NOT A ALEHEATHER BLOG OR ISLAND DUNCEY BLOG OR A LINDSAY AND TYLER BLOG OR OWEN AND IZZY BRUHHHHHH
you should keep hiding it
@@ineedabadbleep1557 i feel bad for laughing
Ohhh my gosh!!! I thought I was the only one!!
Now Duncney and Gwuncan were both poorly handled, but when push comes to shove I definitely prefer Gwuncan. Gwen doesn't try to control or change Duncan, meanwhile most of the time Courtney and Duncan were together Courtney was always getting on him about him being...him. That relationship was pretty toxic, but Gwuncan is also toxic as it was a result of cheating while Duncney was toxic because of it's on-again-off-again nature and Courtney's controlling behavior.
Yeah. Duncney was toxic on its own after Season 1, while Gwuncan's only reason to be toxic was because of Courtney.
Courtney was ABUSING Duncan. And that really annoyed me

The Break up in All Stars sucked, actually the whole season sucked. Gwen and Duncan their break up needed to go different like: "Let's just stay friends." Sth like that.

Agree
It had, it was only bad in All Stars
@@theketaminefrog6366 Yupp
The problem is
Best friends ≠ good relationship
I honestly liked the ship up until All Stars. I get it, Duncan is tired of how controlling and stuck up Courtney is. So he left her for Gwen who he always had more in common with. But for SOME reason in All Stars he likes Courtney again and that kinda just ruined Duncan’s character beyond repair and both the ships.
i think in all stars it was more of a duncan problem. i'd say he was trying to maintain the bad boy reputation, as in it's cool if girls are into you but it's not if you act like you're into them and that's how it played out when courtney started showing interest in scott. he couldn't deal with that fact, and so he tried getting her attention resulting in him and gwen breaking up. duncan thought it was because he'd gotten too soft, so he destroyed chris' cottage and got arrested. really hate how he got derailed, man. all stars was a mistake.
the writers were just bitter cause they had to break up duncney and make gwuncan a thing because of cartoon network so they decided to fuck up their relationship by suddenly making gwen ignore duncan and become obsessed with courtney and being labeled as a good person (like if you compare her personality in season one with her personality in season five, she looks like a completely different person), while duncan also suddenly wants courtney attention again when he was trying to get her eliminated in season three and was also supporting alejandro's manipulation lol they probably decided to end it up with duncan alone so people could ship whatever they want and there wouldn't be a more realistic couple
Let's all admit that if the Courtney Love Triangle wasn't in the way, these two would be a good couple.
Courtney screws everything she touches, everything from Season 2 onwards was a mess
nah these two don’t even make sense together, watch the show and Duncan uses Gwen to make Courtney jealous be fr
Ok now don't blame Courtney
i like gwuncin and duncney but when duncney started to be a couple courtney was so toxic i mean she wrote 32 pages of duncans flaws like common gwuncan was such a good ship but how it started was so bad like they could've been the best couple
Honestly it really sucks because back in island, it was clear Duncan made Courtney less uptight and let her have more fun, and Courtney brought Duncan's soft side out. But then action ruined it, they went from bringing out the bet in each other to being toxic (especially courtney)
I can't watch basic staining and then imagine courtney writing an essay on how he needs to change
Basically, both couples have something wrong, one for being based on conditions and not accepting themselves as they are, and the other for the wrong execution
@@kaylaHat And this is what makes TD a such good series. No relations are perfect and some won't last for long, and total drama gave us a great lesson of this
I’m pretty sure Cartoon Network forced the creator of total drama to do it.They made Courtney toxic in her relationship with Duncan so then they could make Gwuncan happen to show,kids your supposed to like people with similar interests and personality like you.If they had just improved Duncan and Courtney’s relationship and made it less toxic while Gwen stayed as a good friend for Duncan it would have been a lot better.

Yeah, most of their relationship revolved around Courtney which made it suck
This relationship could have been so much better if the writers weren’t forced to include it when they had to. if there was proper time to develop it then it would have been so much more sensual and less toxic .. gwuncan deserved better

Everyone knew Duncan and Courtney was running on a short fuse. All stars just messed up everything even further ruining plenty of classic favorites. Gwen, Duncan, Lindsay etc.

@@starrynight669 I totally agree!
@@sierramarie1698 You do know ppl can different opinions on ships?
Cheating will always be wrong, I agree. But Duncan and Gwen have similar interests, get along, can be competitive without taking it personally, and like each other as they are, without wanting to change huge aspects of the others personality. That's more than I can say for both Courney and Duncan, AND Gwen and Trent together. The other two were relationships of convenience and surface level attraction, nothing more. Gwen and Duncan actually like each other. It was just shitty that the writers didn't want it, and thus it turned out the way it did.
The thing is, I can understand where the person who cheated is coming from, like how Duncan was abused by Courtney. When someone in a toxic relationship with an abusive partner cheats on said partner, I tend to sympathize with the former because they had a sympathetic motive. I do not condone cheating, but I understand if they felt like they just wanted to be free from their abusers. That's why I do not have any sympathy for Courtney, because she pushed Duncan away from her by treating him like dirt. She brought all of it on herself. Then, she and everyone else had the nerve to act like it was the biggest betrayal ever, conveniently forgetting all the times she abused him, assaulted him, treated him like garbage, and betrayed him. Yeah, that really helped me lose any form of sympathy I had for Courtney.
Another piece of advice, dude, Tom McGillis and the writers were idiots for liking Duncney better and writing Gwuncan the way they did.
7:30 lmfao had forgotten that Duncan could not only sing to communicate, it was very random to hear the panic of both with Duncan sound mode
Look Gwen and Duncan had a great friendship but that's what makes their relationship that much better, it's a friendly one that's more relaxed and without expectations. And what is a girlfriend/boyfriend if not a friendship with extra benefits
The relationship and friendship between Duncan and Gwen is like the one between my bestfriend and I

@@evanholloway1692 wait……
@@evanholloway1692 I know you
I don't hate them being together, they are actually great friends. However, I don't think hooking anyone up will resolve anything, and that putting them back with either each other, Trent, or even Courtney will not move the story forward. With Gwuncan as a couple, the execution was terrible and people just complain that he is a bad boyfriend because he's not as nice as Trent, and that he had "feelings" for Courtney in All-Stars. I thought it was that he actually wanted to bother Courtney again, since he was bullying her after all that happened in Action, trying to control him, and kicking him in the balls. People will argue that Courtney will try to change him for the better, but Courtney's demands were more for herself than to change him as a person, making the list seem more shallow. He was meaner to Courtney yes, but after having a control-freak girlfriend who got his girlfriend voted off, you can see through his perspective. Was it OOC? Not so much during world tour but yes during Total Drama All-Stars. I did not like Gwen during Season 5, she was very ignorant and cruel towards Duncan, and people think that she is innocent but really she just plays the victim card and end up not taking responsibility for her actions. With Gwen, she wanted Courtney to stop ignoring her but she kept on doing it to Duncan because in her opinion it would distract her. Duncan did care for Gwen, he started asking about Courtney twice, and she broke up with him for that reason which is ironically hypocritical since she was more obsessed with getting Courtney's attention. This is a common thing with Gwen, she lacks commitment in serious relationships. An example of this is with Trent, she gave back to him 50% of the time, and was mad at him a majority of the time because she did not trust him for leaving her in dirt and due to Heather's kiss. None of that was his fault, and in Action, Gwen was thinking that Trent was becoming obsessed with her (NOT DUNCAN'S FAULT SO PEOPLE SHUT THE F*CK UP AND STOP BLAMING HIM), and Duncan and Harold gave her their opinion to help her (which really didn't). Instead of talking to Trent, she just chooses to not talk to him then break up. Trent did mess up since he misinterpreted Owen's words as to throw challenges, and did not trust Gwen at all to make choices for herself. So hooking them up will not help their characters redeem Trent or anyone else for that matter. Now moving onto Duncney.
Duncan was an interesting character. He was a bad boy, a flirt, a jerk, and a strong competitor, my overall favorite. He has issues considering feelings since he takes the game pretty seriously when it comes to the show, and communication issues. Sure he bullied Harold, but then again Geoff and DJ were not even under his influence and that they just chose to do it. With Duncan, he is honestly overhated to an extent (same for Owen, Courtney), since people hate how he was never a nice guy, a jerk to Harold, won the second season, accidentally caused a wedge between Gwent, and cheated on Courtney. That's the point of his character, he's a bad boy, but he never stoops as low as Heather or Alejandro or even Courtney for that matter. He's more towards the protagonists side because he does not approve of their actions. I get the bullying Harold part was wrong, but then again having a guy who leaves crusty underwear on the floor, keeps trying to show off their skills by talking about it and being annoying to everyone else, is pretty annoying. However, Duncan does have some respect for Harold, in a jerky-way. He taught Harold how to fight, and worked with him during the end of the war challenge. With him getting to the merge, Courtney was the reason he was mainly targeted so that way they can weaken her. Sure he is not as strong in the merge as he was during the 1st half, but consider how Leshawna's story was done, nobody really liked Justin when he left, and etc. If you think he got plot armor for that season, then you guys have forgotten that Lindsay could have been eliminated in an earlier episode, but since DJ quit she stayed and developed. Let's also not forget that both Alejandro and Heather had some plot armor during World Tour (and Island for Heather). While I get both characters are strong contestants, Heather could have left during the premerge without his return, and Alejandro could have left if Sierra did not accidentally blow up the plane. For breaking up Gwent, he never once actually tried to break them up on purpose, he was caught in a misunderstanding. He only gave Gwen his opinion on what he thought was going on with Trent, but she chose not to talk to Trent and instead listened to Duncan. Duncan never manipulated Gwen, he never even lied to her, and did not even try to change her. Ok this is the one thing I think that could have been written better, the cheating incident in World Tour. For someone who is supposed to be straight with people, he kissed his friend behind his girlfriend's back and voted her off. But then again, when was he ever supposed to be the nicest guy? Also, you can see through his perspective that he was sick of the abuse and stress Courtney was giving to him. Since after Courtney's elimination in Island, she was getting worse as a person as they grew more comfortable to each other. It brought out the worse in both of them, and it is definitely not right to hook them back up after Season 3 and 5.
Now Courtney, I am kind of mixed on her character. She was a good character without Duncan involved or even Gwen. She is inconsistently written which sucks, but you can see through her perspective though. She is a demanding character, who wants things to go her way, has a superiority complex, who boasts her CIT status, and would wear the pants in any relationship. She was always bossy and kind of hypocritical during her run in Island. However, she left Duncan for the million, nearly killed Owen, DJ, Tyler, and Cody, bribed everyone's lives for the million, unleashed her anger on all of her team, threw challenges, and betrayed her new boyfriend and best friend in the end. I think she does deserve a huge amount of redemption and to make the finale. However, I think 2nd place would be a better placement for her since she needs to learn to accept that money is not everything and that friends and family are more important than anything.
i agree with you and to me gwen was just a fake friend and was making out with duncan right after duncan and courtney broke up which thats wrong i didnt like gwen at all just bc her character was meh to me and they should have left courney and duncan be they had good chemistry and when he called her princess it felt so right and he didnt even give gwen a name and seemed like gwen and duncan relationship was by force but this is all my opinion so no hate
@@brookezpt7705 I understand that it is your opinion, but I don't agree with Gwen being a fake friend and the making out after the break up part. She and Duncan were actually better as friends in the end of Island and Action, he did not even vote her off, and ended up having fun with her by taking apart the bus, and making good laughs at each other. Their relationship was terrible as they both have communication issues and etc. The only nicknames Duncan came up with for Gwen were Dollface and Pasty, which does make sense since she is really pale compared to the rest of the cast, but he does not call her that too much. Honestly, the chemistry was only good during Island, Action became pretty toxic and World Tour was the couple's demise. I do think that Duncney would have been better if they kept their old chemistry from Island, and etc. But for now, I hope they forgive each other and accept that they are terrible for each other.
Woah, I’m really surprised I actually read all that, but I agree. It’s also important to remember that Trent’s jealousy issues would’ve ruined his relationship with Gwen even without Duncan there. And in World Tour right when Duncan quit the show, I feel like that was a subtle way of him abandoning his relationship with Courtney, personally I don’t think he meant to cheat on Courtney when he did.

@@acidicali7776 Oh, when I said with or without that comment, means if Duncan did not say it. I do agree that Duncan was a reason, but without his comment the result would have been the same. The other part, yeah that's a good point.
Actually I think it’s what soulmates look like, romantically or friendly wise! They have their own connection through all show, but at the end writers of the show just screwed up! 😫
When I was a kid, I thought I was weird for shipping these two. Now I know EVERYONE SHIPPED THEM. I feel vindicated, ngl.
Gwuncan’s grown on me so much! They were so healthy 😌
Gwuncan is a way better ship than duncney, theres never a scene where courtney isnt physically or mentally abusing Duncan.
Petition for the writers to make a gwuncan series where they change the cheating breakup with Courtney and instead just make that relationship end with Duncan confessing to Courtney that he doesn’t like her anymore.
9:55 had no reason to be this funny 😆😭😭💀
Duncan deserves to be happy with Gwen. As a kid loved him with Courtney but as a adult holy shit she was so toxic n controlling. Physical abuse out the door just the mental abuse is beyond toxic. Bad writing messed up everyone but thats her from s1
they could've been such a cute couple. I love them so much
i personally prefer Gwen x Courtney, but Gwuncan worked better than Courtney x Duncan did! I just don't understand why people normalize toxic relationships like these
Courtney is so abusive I cant💀🧚♂️ ship what you want tho
@@kylaraw8154 Get out 😐 👉🏼 🚪
@@ifellinlovewithawar I said ship what you want 😃
@Chris Quintrell duncan taught Courtney to have fun and not be serious all time while Courtney made duncan a little nicer so they helped each other but they had to ruin the characters in action and world tour! I ship duncney and no body can change my mind but I respect what u all ship
Bruh don’t come with your homosexuality this show was great without it
GWUNCAN FANS RISE!! this for us
Destroy all GWUNCAN fans!!!!! 🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖
Duncan and Gwen could have been epic I was so happy when they got together to in world tour. Duncany shippers are holding on to season 1 Courtney and Duncan and they were my favs too but sadly she changed and it wasn’t healthy. Gwen and Duncan changed but not that much so it made sense they would want to be together. He went to Gwen because 1 there was always something there and 2. Because Courtney was too controlling and wanted to change him while Gwen liked him for himself. But all stars messed it up and I’m just gonna imagine it never happened. 😂
This couple would be so good if Duncan and Courtney remembered they broke up, stayed friends, and then Gwen dates Duncan, and then the 3 of them could've been a cool trio friendship.
Also, love how people are mad about their relationship. Like, why are y’all here 💀
i hate how gwuncan gets so much hate. they were so underrated and had so much potential!!
YES
IDK why people are denying the obvious chemistry and sexual tension between these two but OK lol.
i dont blame the characters i blame the writers
honestly gwen and duncan should have been on the same team in season 1, they’d have gotten along easily and wouldn’t have any courtney problems. gwuncan is a great ship, it just needed better writing
i know this is super unpopular but gwuncan is my favorite because they had so much chemistry and courtney was so abusive, i can't stand that courtney's abuse is downplayed and she's so popular in the fandom but gwen is *EVIL* for kissing duncan when courtney is a psychotic abuser? like duncney is the pinnacle of abuse towards males in the media being downplayed for mere comedy when it's a genuine problem
i wish that the show had been written that duncan would break up with courtney and he would realize that gwen treated him so much better and genuinely didn't have a laundry list of what was wrong with him (side note wtf why do people not see a problem w this??) and she was genuinely so sweet to him
As a Duncney shipper for only TDI, I agree. After watching Action and seeing how much she mistreated him after her last season elimination, it made me dislike her so much. I know Duncan isn't a saint either for his comments but he never hit Courtney or wrote a list on her faults. If it were reverse, the fandom would DESPISE Duncan and be happy that Courtney cheated on him with someone else. I know cheating shouldn't be the answer but Courtney went from someone who was in denial for liking a bad boy to someone who wanted to date him AND change him, despite knowing who he was in the first place. They were cute in the first season but after that, the writers really messed it up.
@@suspiciousstar7547 PERIOD.
5:53, This was actually my favorite moment of them and that was it. Everything else was degraded from there.
7:08, OH-kay...
7:33, I can't believe he refused to sing for the first half of TD:WT, because Duncan has a VOICE on him
9:03, Awwwwwwww...
what season is 5:53
7:33 only scene i Liked in gwuncan
@@what-uo6ygthe season is action and the episode is gwen and forgot
I wish they would’ve kept Gwen’s hardcore personality how she was in Season 1
My favorite TD ship! They had so much potential, and really could've been a beautiful couple! I really hate how they got together, and everything that went down in All Stars. Otherwise, I loved their chemistry. Gwen didn't try to change Duncan like Courtney did. She embraced him for who he was, as he did her. They actually seemed to have gotten to know each other way before they developed feelings, like that one clip of Duncan naming off things he knew about Gwen. Meanwhile, he didn't even know Courtney's favorite color. I know some people think Duncan was manipulating Gwen, but that couldn't be far from the truth. These two had a really nice bond that unfortunately got ruined. I like to imagine that after the show, they were able to make things right with each other by either staying friends, or getting back together.
I really didn’t like Courtney and Duncan as a couple. In season two when they were trying to get back together and Courtney made the novel list of things that Duncan had to do to be with her was just ridiculous and borderline mental abuse. I like Duncan and Gwen together they’re very cute and get each other. And they’re not trying to force the other person to change. Gwen and Trent were kind of cute but Trent lost all of his magic in season two and just became OCD, and purposefully throwing challenges for Gwen when she didn’t want that. She wanted to win fair and square.
Also when Duncan took the leech for Gwen that was low-key very sweet.
Duncan and Gwen are such a good friend together but they would be a better couple
Ugh I just love these two together 😩 I looove their friends-besties-lovers storyline and they’re also so cute together (when Duncan takes a leech for his girl 10:18 🥺🦋). I just wish they were written a little better in canon, but I still see a vision with them 💖🌈
GWENCUN>>>>>>>> duncney
Duncan and Gwen had so much chemistry together. They were the prefect couple. I liked that pairing more than Gwen and Trent or Duncan and Courtney. They should've just paired up Duncan and Gwen from the beginning and have them stay together. Lol.
My first time seeing __ minutes “bi” and I’m living for it. It’s about time the bis and the pans got their recognition.
“You’re gonna trap a raccoon with a sledgehammer” I forgot this even happened until today. And now I remember how crazy this idea was😂 Duncan the goat
I absolutely love them, everyone says they are forced and Duncan never truly liked Gwen but for me it’s the opposite!! I always felt like Duncan really liked Gwen more than Courtney, Gwen understood him and it was overall an healthier relationship
That’s right.
Fr
Shut up
I love how everyone else in the comments is wondering how compatible they are or how fast they got together and I’m just over here like “why are there only some characters that have eye colors?”
You are very wrong. For example Jeff and Heather have eye colors, not only Duncan and Gwen.
You are so right. One thing that always makes me laugh is how Chris looks like he has no soul because his eyes are just black dots
that just means they have black eyes-
i mean, dark eyes are common irl so I didn’t give it much thought tbh
@@hydraph4843 you say that like theres a chance he does have a soul
I think that Gwen and Duncan make a perfect couple
Gwen x Duncan will always be my fav couple no matter what❤
duncan is pro gwuncan and i’m here for it
I wish they would’ve kept them as something like a best friend dynamic. They are so similar and we’re always great on screen. Bringing a relationship into ended up ruining them plus Trent and Courtney.
Gwen and dducan were such a cute couple cuz when i 1st started watching them i new there were a thing and trent is such a player boy
I’m not saying it couldn’t have worked, but it was how it happened. Yes Courtney was controlling, but she didn’t deserve to get cheated on
@NateTD no. He wasn't.
@NateTD ew no.
She wasn’t just a controlling she was an abusive cunt🤷♀️
I love gwuncan they are maybe a best comple
i love duncney, as toxic as they were im just such a sucker for enemies to lovers/opposites attract tropes. i cant deny that gwuncan just fits better and their personalities mesh well. that being said though, their romantic scenes wouldn't get me as giddy as duncney scenes did. they were amazing as friends and im sure had duncney never been an option, i would have shipped them more.
I love how people say they rushed gwuncan when there's literally chemistry between them since episode 1 lol
"well you dont see that everyday" really got me-
Gwuncan might not be as funny but it definitely was a much healthier relationship
Yep.
They honestly have such a darn good dynamic, and I've somehow never noticed it.
I like Courtney and Duncan because rivals to lovers is one of my favorite tropes. It’s just that when they started dating it was super toxic. Gwen and Duncan were a lot better together it just wasn’t written well.
All-Stars screwed this relationship, like it screwed most of the cast. Because I think that this relationship was written well in World Tour, also it had good (although probably unintentional in Island) foreshadowing.
@@fallen9997Worth mentioning the voice actor of Duncan actually preferred Duncan X Gwen
i haven’t even watched this show properly yet but I can already tell that this is the best couple I’ve ever laid eyes on
50th comment: Man, it sucks those two broke up in All Stars, and horrifically horrible it was, too. What was that all about tryin’ to get Courtney’s attention all of the sudden?!? He didn’t need to show off his relationship w/ Gwen so Courtney would b jealous. Besides, Courtney moved on, and he should have, too! But overall, Gwen and Duncan’s breakup was bad, and their love oughta b mended, hopefully in the revival series.
I think that was either to stroke and boost his fragile ego that was breaking down when he became a heroic hamster, plus he wanted to annoy her because Courtney neglected him, or that he Gwen was not giving him any attention at all throughout the entire season. Plus, he did not even try to bother after the Gwuncan breakup, and he was supportive of Gwen for the first 4 episodes. Throughout the entire season, Gwen was pretty mean and hypocritical towards Duncan as a whole. Plus, the writers just wanted to give Gwen an excuse to break them up.
@@ryanregala948 Un-freakin’-believable.
I don't really like the ship, I just like Courtney x Gwen and Courtney x Duncan
@@april2kawaii And that's fine honestly. You're free to ship whoever you want, just as not as villifying and demonizing any of the characters to make your ship better.
@@ryanregala948 you've just called out the entire fandom of MHA with one sentence LMAO
i love how tyler just peeks at duncan and gwen kissing suprised and slowly goes back
And now my otp is gone...Thanks All Stars...
I always wanted them together and my wish got granted My favorite two characters
Best „friends to lovers”😌
The comments are killing me, ofcourse it’s written around cheating+sneaking around behind people’s backs lmaO the whole point of the show is to be dramatic and represent a reality tv show which is full of crap like that
Hence why Duncan and Courtney were better becoz if you strip all the excess drama created in the name of reality tv, you got a couple with great chemistry that as they matured would have learned even MORE to appreciate each other’s differences and the ways in which they can challenge one another/ make the other person better. I can see why people ship Gwen and Duncan but in the end they would have been bored with each other and I think ended up as best friends only.
Yeah there is no way this was forced they had to much in common they really clicked well together they Gwen and Duncan should have been together from the start
I agree
The relationship from what I know was forced by CN, but it did not FEEL forced.
Remember, All-Stars didn't happen.
“And make more of those Gwuncan videos!” You heard the man!
i see them more as a really good friendship, not a couple
yessssss
