    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

        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)
