you see i love vol 4 ramona but sometimes i remember she almost looked like this and i drool and foam at the mouth

ALISON PILL as KIM PINE Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World 2010, dir. Edgar Wright

i get a little sick of all the hot takes that are like "uh actually you were never meant to root for scott pilgrim" and usually their reasoning is scott being a deadbeat and dating a 17 year old when he himself is 22 which like yes very good that's fucked up but also that's kind of the point of the story? when we're first introduced to scott he's been dating knives for a week and they haven't even so much as held hands. then as the story progresses we find out the reason scott likes hanging around her is because she blindly adores him and thinks he's the coolest person ever instead of seeing him for what he is. a loser. he's lame as fuck. then he meets ramona. and as we continue on scott improves himself. and then he gets worse. and then he gets better. he cheats on knives. he realizes that was terrible and he also should've never dated her to begin with. he gets a job. he makes an effort. he fucks up again. but he tries. over and over and over again. and you know who else is like that?

ramona flowers.

she's hurt more people than she cares to remember. she abandons people who care about her. she runs when the going gets tough. she cheats on scott. she fucks up and tries again.

the main point of the story is that every one of the characters are painfully human. scott's friends suck just as much as him. kim makes out with knives when they're both drunk. oh yeah scott and his friends let knives get drunk with them.

knives gets used by people, she gets led on and taken advantage of, she doesn't know how to handle all the feelings that these knew experiences are leaving her with, she gets hurt. knives outgrows them all.

kim is a loser who still holds a torch for scott despite wishing she could move on. so she finally moves on. makes a serious change in her life and leaves. fucks up and tries again.

envy is the same way. she hurt scott and got hurt by him. thought she was better than everyone else and then had to come to terms with the fact that she was just like them. fucked up and tried again.

nothing justifies anything they do so all that they can do is own up to it, move on, and try harder. try again.
