My brother turned 19 years old today. He just finished his first year of college and I couldn’t be more proud of him. People always seem shocked at how well my brother and I get along, but I’m equally surprised that other brothers don’t. Hell, for all I know, it could just be a result of locking…

I just realized that Ramona Flowers basically has no personality.

At least, in the movie she doesn’t.

I don’t get why so many guys like her. Unless it’s just because of her body or whatever. Which is a stupid reason.

A lot of my guy friends (and my boyfriend) all like her. “Dream girl”,…

Ramona Flowers is a caricature of that mysterious, out-of-your-league kind of girl. Ramona feels, to me, like a symbol of hope for guys like Scott. That, despite being a complete idiot, or a loser, or a dork/nerd/geek or a major fuck-up, or a hopeless romantic, that there is a woman out there that you can enjoy the company of, and learn so much from. In the real word, guys like Scott would look at a girl like Ramona Flowers and say to themselves “Who am I kidding?” Scott Pilgrim goes for it, and kicks ass while doing it, inspiring nerds across the world. Hopefully not the the point of kicking exes in half hoping for coins.

Sadly, I was one of those guys who was dramatically influenced by Scott Pilgrim vs. the World when I saw it in the theater: a benchmark in my years of movie-going. Not only because it opened with a Legend of Zelda chime, but because without it I might have never thought to myself that I could stand a chance with a “cool girl”. And thanks to mutual fandom of the movie, I finally found the right one: my internally chosen phrase at the time being “My Ramona Flowers.” I fell in love, and although the relationship didn’t last as long as I wanted, my love for the series stays the same because the connection was only an inspirational tangent. It helped me through finding my way into a relationship as well as healing the wounds after it.

While you may be right about the fact that the movie doesn’t really take time to flesh out her personality. I think it doesn’t need to, the mystery is what makes her that much more fascinating, and kind of allows us to fill in the blanks for ourselves. To me Ramona is beyond a character, and is expanded into an idea, or a metaphor. or whatever… sex bobomb
