Ok lets get this straight Disney is kinda stupid to put Riley and lucas together have you guys seen how many time maya and lucas has gotten close I'm watching this right now and its just making my heart melt to think this just not real in the series. Lets just face it maya and lucas have a lot more chemistry!❤😢
Lucas and maya were always so playful and when they got older there dynamic remained the same until lucas was over mayas immaturity and by that point maya was changing into a more expansive character. But the directors ruined it so Riley could be with Lucas, ridiculous.
I’m so obsessed with Nancy so much that when s4 ended i was so stressed and wanted to watch infinite seasons of her lol… anyone else have this obsession? (It’s also very stressful for me too, to the point I want to k**l myself)
I love that when he got into NYU he wasn't rejecting hugging Maya. He was watching her with his arms open too but was pulled in by his brother and Maya was pushed aside by Riley.
Es que maya y lucas siempre fueron la pareja principal, más allá de todo siempre lo hicieron ver así, ellos tenian chistes, palabras y codigos que solo entre ellos se entendían, cosa que lucas nunca tuvo con riley, a lo mejor la intención de producción fue hacer que pase y despues se arrepintieron a ultimo momento.
I'm just going well and have the money that can help and keep your hands into this situation as soon enough and it's been the first thing ever again since you're right to your family that has some great experiences
Maya is literally the best girl meets world character I love her so much 💕 she literally cares more about her best friend Riley’s happiness more than her own happiness and then when Shawn came into Maya’s life they were both broken and fixed each other and Riley is the second best character ❤
I think Riley doesn't really love lucus bc Maya hurted while they were close and when Riley found oud then she was cool bout it then she showed she doesn't want Maya and him to be together
Honestly Riley didn’t deserve Lucas because no matter how much maya liked him she protected Riley from getting hurt and maya was always broken and hurt she put her friendship before Lucas but riley only once thought about maya having feelings and backed down maya was never selfish and never put herself first that’s a real friend.
No es por nada pero Ni con toda la historia que pusieron de rucas podría igualarse a todos los momentos sutiles pero muy importantes que tuvieron lucaya, o sea ahhhh cuando le dice belleza rubia es que él le decía así ahhh son tan lindos en fin mejor ship pero cancelaron la serie
Honestly Maya’s a really good friend, I think we all need someone like her. If they were gonna make Riley and Lucas together I kinda wish then they made Maya in it too, like a polyamorous couple type thing… like I know it’s Disney but that would be actually kinda cool to please everyone that shipped, Rucas and Lucaya 😒 Like; Ricayus or something.. all said and done tho, I did ship Lucaya more than Rucas tbh
I can’t stand people who say ooh they true love likeeee he cheated bruh and she always lets him come back that’s toxic…they need to learn self worth before trying to be worth something to others.
I have a huge problem with Riley. She seems so self centered, and maybe not exactly haughty or prideful, but she only focuses on herself, what she wants and how she feels. She has so much and yet she hardly ever supports her own best friend, especially when it comes to Lucas. She's supposed to be the sunshine one, who's happy and sweet if not a bit naive and clueless. But at times, like the time around 19:56, she throws Maya under the bus to say that she'll have 5 marriages, which is just so unnecessary already (since it insinuates Maya will have toxic relationships, is a whore, or whatever else), and then proceeds to control Maya's HYPOTHETICAL life by saying her marriages will never include Lucas. Yeah, she "stepped back" for Maya, but that was only for a few episodes, and she got jealous and controlling even while Lucas wasn't her boyfriend. When she finally figures out that Maya likes Lucas, she manipulated Maya into admitting it ("we're like sisters and sisters share everything. Even secrets".). Secrets can sometimes be good, and it's not unhealthy or wrong to hide secrets, especially when they're not harming anyone. Later on Riley also goes and keeps secrets from Maya, which is very hypocritical and tells me she didn't necessarily mean what she had said to Maya, and only said what she did to make Maya tell her. So after she manipulates Maya into sharing that secret, she also tells Lucas straight up about it. That's not her place to share MAYA'S secret and Riley didn't get permission to do that. If I was Maya, my trust in her would be severely broken. Also, Riley never tried to let Lucas in on the decision on who gets picked. Maya was the one who suggested it ("why shouldn't Lucas decide?"). When Riley complained about Maya not being herself, her reasons are completely bogus. ("You haven't got a detention or stood on a teacher's desk in a very long time!") Those things ARE NOT good, and Maya was finally leaving those things behind, she was maturing. and Maya was finally moving on and doing better mentally and emotionally, and not only was she staying OUT of trouble, she was actively doing better in classes too. Why should anyone try and complain about those things?? Riley accused Maya of copying her personality, but when Maya was saying "what's wrong with who I am now" and "I'm the same Maya I've always been. And you're going to have to show me a lot more than just new clothes and hair and a boy before I believe different", all Riley did was literally tune her own "best friend" out. Maya in the other hand, is a beautifully written character. I love her development, confidence, playfulness/wit, and her kindness. She was always there for her friends and supported them because she's loyal and dedicated. She never put herself in front of Riley, especially when it came to Lucas. She didn't want to hurt Riley, which is why she refused to "fight for/over" Lucas, which is what Riley had suggested. She wasn't a different person, she matured and grew. She still hated school, was witty and confident, and loved art. She just got better at school and didn't get into trouble, and got new clothes. The people who were supposed to support her, didn't. And Lucaya is definitely the superior ship. They had much better, natural and playful chemistry and saw each other's flaws, unlike Rucas (the fairytale), and accepted each other despite of those flaws. They brought out the best in each other, and seem to balance each other very well. They both keep each other "contained" (like when Maya found out Farkle was bullied, and when Lucas was going to teach Billy a lesson). They know each other's limits and their friendship progressed very naturally. When Maya was pretending to be Riley (the episode when she wore a brown wig), she realized Riley liked Lucas because he was like a brother figure to her, and Riley couldn't tell the difference between admiration and true romantic love; as soon as Maya realized that, she didn't want to be Riley anymore because she herself didnt want to see Lucas like that. And it's not true that Lucas picked Riley over Maya all the time. He picked Mayaville over Rileytown, which were later used as a metaphor for the girls' personalities (which kinda ties into the fact that lucas never really has a problem with Maya'spersonailty, unlike him having problems with Riley's- like when he said "sometimes you are just too much for me Riley"). He picked Riley first and more often because before, he didn't even know Maya was interested in him romantically. He also knew that Riley is a lot more fragile when it comes to affirmations and things of that nature. And like Maya, he didn't want to hurt Riley, so he picked her more often. Lucas often looks at Maya and compliments her and only her when he should be looking at Riley (like in girl meets Texas). There were so many little hints even in the first season that Lucaya was Endgame (maya met his family first, she noticed him in the subway first, that one clothing 'coincidence' with the extras, him picking mayaville over Rileyyown, Lucaya had CHEMISTRY class and Rucas had HISTORY class, Maya represents the bull which Lucas had succeeded with and Riley represented the lamb which he had failed on, Lucas wondering "what if he wanted to take the other one out?" and then called Maya the other one, Lucas saying "i like this little ferret" and later called Maya that, Maya calling him Bucky McBoing Boing while she called Josh Uncle Boing with only 1 boing, and legitimately so much more). I even bet that the writers DID have a lucaya endgame in mind but since the show didn't get renewed, the writers ran out of time to do more with the Lucaya dynamic. Rucas was always a fantasy. Riley practically idolized Lucas and could never see/acknowledge his faults, especially at first when she took interest in him due to his looks. They were rain, and Lucaya was fire (which start by sparks, coincidentally). Lucaya was reality, they started off as friends and learned to trust each other. They were natural and their dynamic was much more well-rounded and balanced. Their almost kiss held 10x more chemistry than all the Rucas scenes put together.
this is what i have in my mind ever since i've watched the gmw!!! thank you for pointing this out!! you are so right! Maya's character development was BEAUTIFUL. and Riley saying that maya is copying her, is a total bull and very selfish of her.. i mean, a best friend will never say those things to a best friend you consider as a sister.. and if I'm lucas, I'll fall in love with maya all the way !!! i don't agree with joshaya too, he wasn't really there for Maya.. And honestly, riarkle is more of a thing than smarkle and rucas.. oh i just love maya really! she deserves more! so much more! this is the best comment I've read so far related to GMW and lucaya. thanks you again!!
Perfectly said. Watching the video after so long reminded me of all the clues and setup in the show alone that made Lucaya a far more interesting ship than rucas, and it really seemed like they would be put together or at least have a good conclusion. The ski lodge episode will never fail to infuriate me.
