When we talk about on-screen chemistry, most of the time people reference characters who had the most adorable friendships or believable romances. But move over, hopeless romantics — because today, we're gonna talk about something way more fun than a swoon-worthy love story.

Basically, X user @oconnornews recently asked: "Screw ships. Give me two characters that just fucking hate each other." This one Tweet now has over 80 million views, and more importantly, it opened the floodgates for people to share the best on-screen enemy duos in history. And it's the most fun I've had on the internet in SO long.

Screw ships. Give me two characters that just fucking hate each other.
