Really? I mean, my brain is in fritz right now, but I've always felt that a lot of father/son stories were about men trying to handle their ~feelings~ and communicate either with their young sons or their grown sons. So conflict is more about forging connections rather than replacing each other.
Oh wait, I though of one! Finding Nemo! Note that there was father/son conflict in which they disagreed and ended up having adventures and learning things and communicating better and at no point did Nemo attempt to harm his father. Why can't I get stories like that starring mothers and daughters?
