Comics. Post-Age of Apocalypse, they decided to make Sabretooth and Boom Boom/Boomer have a relationship that was basically "Wolverine and Jubilee, but if he was evil and then lobotomized and she mindlessly thought it made him perfect and would hear no ill of him*, and then became an unrecognizable Look At How I'm So Edgy And Badass And Untrusting character."

*This, admittedly, is arguably true of early Jubilee and Wolverine, save that the context there was that she was 13-15, literally had no one else for a while, and he was the kinda-asocial guy who was taking care of her and saving her and teaching her things and not killing people when she asked and treated her with a mixture of daughter/partner without really talking down to her. Which is different from being 17-20 and having a long history of knowing the guy as a murderer who tried to kill your friends and random innocents and was a terrorist.
