Most EPIC Fantasy and Sci Fi Sidekick Duos Ever? (Our TOP 10!)
Fri Feb 06 2026
Some characters are great on their own.
But put the right two together, and magic happens.
In this episode of Fantasy for the Ages, Jim & Zach dive into the Best Duos in Fantasy & Sci-Fi — across books, movies, and television — focusing on the pairs whose chemistry, banter, loyalty, and conflict make their stories better.
These are the duos who:
• Steal scenes every time they’re together
• Elevate the world and the main plot
• Balance humor, heart, and tension
• And often end up being just as memorable as the heroes themselves
From ride-or-die friendships to uneasy alliances to partnerships forged under fire, we’re celebrating the pairs that prove great stories aren’t just about individuals, they’re about relationships.
⚠️ This episode is spoiler-light, keeping the focus on why these duos work rather than what ultimately happens to them.
👉 Jump into the comments and tell us:
• Which duo is your all-time favorite?
• Who did we miss?
• And which pair would you absolutely watch an entire spin-off about?
If you love Fantasy & Sci-Fi characters, dynamics, and debates, this one’s for you.
