Watched a video about how the Scott Pilgrim anime was bad actually, planning to come in with an open mind and really acknowledge some of the flaws of an admittedly flawed piece of media I like, only to have to RESTRAIN myself from making a essay long comment about why they have to be willfully ignorant to think "Ramona Flowers had no arc and it was entirely useless to have her as the protagonist in *Scott's* show and she was super boring and the whole thing was plotless and a lazy excuse to do a who-dun-it." Shut up. Shut upppp istg.

#scott pilgrim #scott pilgrim takes off #her arc is so blatantly obvious youd have to cut out your EYES not to see it #“they tried to set up the idea that she might've been the problem in the relationship but she never really says it”#DOES SHE HAVE TO SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU FOR YOU TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT?????#her whole thing is she always runs away from her relationships when they get hard #but in seeing the hurt she caused and by seeing how her future turns out when she continues to dip out instead of growing the relationship #she says “no. im going to stay” THATS HER ARC #she chose Scott instead of the easy out #also calling it “scotts show” is stupid. just because his name is in the title #they wanted to divert expectations obviously. the twist in the first episode would be so goddamn boring if it was called #Ramona Flowers VS The World #or Ramona Flowers Takes Charge #or something #(plus Scott Pilgrim is much more recognized as the name of the franchise in general)#also im sure this person's video is probably the originator of all these bad takes #it did come out months ago #but im so sick of hearing these points said verbatim by so many people #like i swear this video came out and immediately it was the popular take to say “this show is bad because Ramona Flowers”
