So, I don't like C0rpanga. In fact, they're probably one of my least favorite canon ships of all time. However, I think that in seasons 1-4 (s1 especially) they weren't that bad of a ship. This can, in my opinion, be attributed to one thing: they worked a lot better as narrative foils than as each other's perfect match. When weird, feminist, hippy s1 Topanga was on screen, challenging Cory's stagnant ways and showing him there was more to life than status or whatever else middle school society was obsessed with at the time, I was absolutely rooting for them. It was super compelling and would've made for a great opposites-attract slow-burn if they'd continued it into the later seasons. Instead, they decided that that was just too interesting. Which is how we ended up with: A) ultra-conservative-no-real-personality Topanga, B) annoying Cory who whines about his girlfriend not having sex with him so much you wish he'd lose the ability to have it at all, and C) an extremely boring relationship that reads more as heteronormative America's wet dream than, y'know, 2 people with actual romantic chemistry.
