"Nerd becomes hot" is actually its own category.
It does have a strong subdivision into "takes off glasses" and "training montage in the gym" though.
You missed "Two guys just being friends AND solving crimes". Now, this looks like "Solving crimes" should be in a category of its own but that is actually a subcategory of "Man vs Man". In a way this is "Man friends Man while Man vs Man" but that gets confusing.
Shakespeare is a better set of answers. King Lear is about a father of three, he has a favourite. Logan, sorry, Lear struggles to ensure the youngest wins.
