Christian Trevelyan Grey and Anastasia "Ana" Rose Grey [née Steele] are the main protagonists of the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy. Ana is the daughter of Ray and Carla; Christian is the son of Carrick and Grace, and the brother of Elliot and Mia. Both characters are the parents of Theodore and Phoebe.

Why They Should Break Up

Both

1. They are both some of the most hated characters in literature and cinema.
2. They romanticize sexual abuse.
3. Their actors do a really bad job portraying them for the most part, especially from Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey in all 3 films. No words to describe how bad the acting is, save for the latter's poor acting skills. Dakota Johnson as Ana is no better, at least in the 1st and 3rd films.
4. They barely have any actual story or plot whatsoever. Their story is basically just a soft-core porn and abuse one. It also gets so generic and boring pretty quickly.
5. Most of their sex scenes are rather poor, dull, unattractive and just come off as forced, as they are just rape and torture.
   • It gets worse in the 2nd and 3rd films. In the 2nd film, its a joke and very tacky, since they made a terrible degradation, apparently it seems that it was done by a university student who does not know anything, which 80% of people will be discouraged, since no scene will be salvageable.
   • In the 3rd film, the sex scenes are a huge step backwards as they are still unattractive, flat, and not at all seductive as they still have the same problems as the previous movie, only now they are abruptly short, especially in the first scene, and some scenes they leave a lot to be desired as in the scene where they have sex in the car since its worth mentioning that the windows of the car are completely visible, which becomes more awkward and dull than arousing.
6. Their relationship has anything, but really bad and no chemistry. In fact, their relationship is more abusive than loving.
   • For example, Christian tells Ana to do stuff and she does it with no force, but when he told her to do something and she responded with no, he gets angry at her.
7. Their portrayal of BDSM in this film is so incorrect, it can be fatal to those who try it.
8. They have poor pacing because of their sex scenes, which can come off as boring.
9. They don’t improve throughout the series, as they are as flat as cardboard and almost nothing is interesting or likable about them.
10. The series tries so hard to have them be romantic and sexy, but it fails and they become really boring and bland.
11. They also have laughable dialogue for the most part, like where Christian and Ana say "Good morning wife" and "Good morning husband".
12. They have one of the most forced happy endings of modern cinema.

Christian

1. He’s definitely the most unlikable out of the main duo, as he stalks and abuses Ana throughout the 1st film. He's also a big insult to maledom and dominatrixes, especially the males. What an abusive creep!
2. He also treats Ana like some kind of sex toy in the 2nd film, and while Ana herself isn't particularly likable, the way he treats her actually makes you feel sorry for her.
3. He also gets upset about Ana not changing her email name from "Steele" to "Grey", when it’s not really a big deal.

Ana

1. The main reason why she's unlikable is due to her being a huge Mary Sue, and is also stupid enough to not see the red flags coming from Christian Grey's actions.
2. She is so dumb for marrying Christian and decides to stay with him.

Redeeming Qualities

Both

1. Depending on your view, while their sex scenes from the first film are somewhat forced, some of them are arousing and seductive to watch, and many are well done, such as the ice on Ana's body. Unfortunately, the following films degrade these scenes a lot.
2. The ending scene where Christian and Ana broke up in the original cut of the 1st film was great, as this shows that Ana realized that Christian is a jerk and that she deserves better. It’s unfortunate that the pair get back together anyway in the extended cut and the sequels.

Ana

1. The 2nd film is where Dakota Johnson's acting as Ana is the most good, as it’s a significant improvement from the 1st film.
