How many years do you think Unrivaled will span?

I would love it if it continues into their 40’s and (maybe) even 50’s. I know most of it will be their first year of marriage and playing together but I would like an epilogue of sorts far into the future.

Does anyone else get slightly concerned whenever they read the title of Unrivaled?

I get what RR is trying to get at; they can now be openly married and in love with each other and play in the same team without having to pretend to the public that they hate each other’s guts. But the title implies to be that they will give up on their competitive streak with each other. Part of what makes them appealing is despite the fact that they are loving husbands off the ice, they will still be extremely competitive on the ice and debate endlessly on who is better.

Just a thought lol.

What if they had gotten married much earlier, like at the end of Heated Rivalry?

I always wondered why they didn’t get secretly married at the end of HR, NGL.

They were committed enough to the point they were willing to sacrifice 10 years of their life if that meant they got together at the end. And logically (I know my boys don’t think logically but still) getting married would be much more practical over a 10 year long term plan where you’re planning on hiding most of it. It’s much easier to hide a secret marriage than a secret relationship, and it provides benefits in terms of finance and insurance as well. David and Yuna already knew, Ilya was cut off from Alexei, so it’s not like they needed to hide it from their families. Hayden knew too by that point too so Shane would have a best man as well lol.

Anyways, what would have happened if they went ahead like this?

I just cannot imagine Shane with long hair.

Partly cause I always just imagine Shane as Hudson, who I just cannot imagine with longer hair tied in a man-bun (like Shang from Mulan), and partly cause none of the official cover work of the books show him with longer hair (even in Unrivaled).

Notes:

• Only Warner Bros. and Netflix have won at least one award every year.
• Focus is locked or at least extremely win competitive for one win every year, but outside of that specific category it will flop.
• SPC is great at getting last minute surges for nominations, not that good at getting wins.
• Neither is Neon. Despite them having a competitive slate for 2025, they literally only won 1 Oscar combined out of 18 nominations, and that too in a category they couldn’t lose in since all of the frontrunners were from them (IFF), and they straight up blanked for wins in 2022 and 2021, and didn’t even get a nomination in 2020! Outside of Anora they haven’t done that well.
• A24 has had a downward trend after their peak with the EEAAO year.

I know Ilya is cut off from his brother, but surely the latter…..

…..has had some news of some sort of the wedding? Like, he reads newspapers, right? I wonder how he reacted to it. He would be pissed but also he knows he can’t do anything now.

Reply to this thread like it is the YouTube comment section for the trailer of a documentary about Shane and Ilya’s rivalry, which happens to drop….

……a month after they get outed/married, thus making it wildly out of date

Go!

Ilya is just such amazing bisexual representation.

He ultimately ends up married to a man, but he is never treated as a joke. He is still shown as being attracted to women; it isn’t as if he suddenly “switched” to being exclusively gay when he marries Shane which is a trap most authors fall into. As a bi Asian guy myself, this series basically encapsulates me lmao.

I cannot imagine how podcasts of all things will feature into Unrivaled.

I’m not saying that there won’t be significant backlash to their marriage and them playing on the same team, but really, what can a podcast do? Whats the percentage of the hockey fans that even listen to podcasts?
