    the film doesn’t explore it as well as the comics did, but the story is about scott being a shitty, under-developed 23 year old. he is confronted with his past and forced to reckon with how terribly he has treated the women in his life. scott is supposed to help ramona defeat her evil ex-boyfriends but is faced with that prospect that he could become one if he doesn’t become a better person. i’d really recommend reading it as the film gives the wrong impression of the story

      This is pretty much the same impression that I got from the movie.

        that’s good, i can’t really remember the movie tbh. i just see a lot of people who misrepresent the story are usually talking about the movie

        I just saw it as Scott going after a girl and getting her in the end. Didn’t really notice any other message at all, so I’m curious if it’ll come through in the show. (haven’t read the comics)

          That’s definitely a fair take on it. It’s definitely all in the movie, just maybe not the primary focus of the movie. He’s definitely a selfish bastard throughout most of the movie and then realizes it at the end and is redeemed.
