We’re thankful for… Ramona Flowers
In Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, Mary Elizabeth Winstead takes the lead, giving “the girl with hair like this” in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World her due. In a stupendous turn of events, Winstead’s Ramona becomes the main character in the fight for her love that shows Flowers gain the power of agency in her own story. It’s clever and refreshing to see her take on accountability in how things ended with each evil ex, while also giving those fun characters more depth. A manic pixie dream girl contains multitudes and maybe is an imperfect person who gets to grow outside of a trope we should keep back in the aughts. – Sabina Graves
