We Didn’t Like: That Ramona Did All This For a Guy She Barely Knew
The other thing about taking Scott off the board so swiftly is that the story is almost entirely driven by the idea that Ramona does everything she does, and uncovers the bizarre plot Scott has been thrust into by his future self, for a guy she’s known at most for a week before he “dies.”
Not even Scott’s friends are particularly broken up by his supposed passing, and while it’s reasonable that Ramona feels guilt over it, it almost would’ve been better to actually see her bond and spend more time with Scott before the twist, just so it felt a little less pre-destined that she and him had to end up together. It’s a minor quibble—especially as the series ends with the potential for more to come, so we can actually see just how much all this impacted Ramona and Scott as they navigate their future together—but it is a little weird when you let the shock of the twist cool off and think about it.
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is now streaming on Netflix.
