The Expendables will be getting my money this weekend. This movie looks like it is almost too goofy for it's own good and movies like that do not normally appeal to me.

She is. She's the only part of Scott Pilgrim that is so expressly hipster, so "cool" that it's uncool. People love to take shots at the series referencing video games, but that's normal; gamers talk about games. Where the real "indieeeeeeeee!" factor comes in is where Ramona arbitrarily smokes, only thinks of fashion, and fucks anything that comes within her field of vision. She's a blank slate that, whether intentionally or not, represents the shallowness of the common "hipster"...sad to think that some people actually TRY to turn themslves into a white wall. It's only until Volume 6 that Ramona starts to become an actual character, but by then O'Malley has spent six years treating her as nothingness."

Ramona being herself (aka: being nothing) is the only logical and well-articulated complaint against the series. And it's hard to buy true loooooove between her and Scott till the very end, where maybe it is, maybe it isn't. You don't have a clue because she just spent an entire series being the non-thinking 14-year-old girl on Tumblr, who wants to be like Ramona, who wants to be like the non-thinking 14-year-old girl on Tumblr, who wants to....etcetera. "
Wow, I've never actually seen what the art in the Scott Pilgrim book looked like until now... Seriously? There's no colour? It's a backwards Manga with no shading?
The art looks stupid and the story is incredibly simplistic... I'm not seeing the appeal behind this comic book, tbh.
Funny thing that my roommate just said while I was watching this, "So does anyone notice that Ramona's sort of a whore?" Hehe, kind of true.
I just read the comic series and really enjoyed it. The movie isn't out in my local theatre yet, though, so I can't go see it for a while. Looking forward to it once I can though.
Re: Ramona being a whore, she really didn't get very far with most of those "ex-boyfriends" half of them never got much further than holding hands and were really short relationships. Now there is the little point that she cheated on just about all of them, but she admits to being a bad person, it's not like she just has sex with everything that moves though.
