I loved Cory and Topanga, but I think Angela and Shawn were more realistic. Not better, but one was a fairy tale and one was grounded. Most people don't marry their childhood sweethearts. It makes sense when Angela came back in GMW that she had moved on, had a full life. She clearly didn't regret having the additional time with her father.

It would probably be more realistic for Shawn and Angela to have ended up together than Corey and Topanga tbh.

And of course, Angela would have moved on in the years since BMW ended. It was only right that she went with her dad and spend more time with him. But I hate how the reunion was handled. They made Angela into a villain who maliciously broke Shawn's heart and dumped him. When he's the one who encouraged her to go with her dad and had the opportunity to make her stay, but made the selfless decision not to take it. Even Corey treated her very hostily, despite him literally being their biggest cheerleader. And why TF would Angela spring back into an ex boyfriend- who she has not seen or spoken to in over a decade's, life only to ask him "hey, should I have kids with my husband?" Really stupid.
