Why did this fuckface have friends?

Keep in mind a few things.

One, Wallace was his only real friend. Everyone else tolerated him at best.

Two, the only girls he "got" were a naive high schooler, a chick who only got with him as a rebound fling, and an old high school girlfriend looking fir nostalgia.

>>85186239
>but damn in real life he'd have zero friends.

Not true, most people in general have friends. As long as you have a personality, good or bad, you will have friends.

I don't have any.

From what little I recall he was in a band which netted him two regularly associates, and through them and venues other associates.

As for the girls thing, I dunno. I guess he just knows how to strike when the iron's hot and available.

>>85196575
Because they completely removed the earlier scenes with Nega Scott before his appearance in the finale.
Also because Michael Cera played him less like an ass and more like a pussy.

Who here doesn't know that one asshole friend though? Picture that one asshole friend you had in college that hung around everyone even though he was a complete dick to everyone. We all had one of those friends, and I bet you anything you heard your fair share of "he's actually pretty cool once you get to know him" justifications.

The breakdown of Scott is pretty simple. He's a reasonably attractive guy who isn't outwardly abrasive. His biggest character flaws only become apparent after knowing the guy long enough. Most of the reason people even get to know him is because of his apparent OK taste in media, mild demeanor, and his ability play music. That, and the fact that most girls mistake his aloofness for blissful stupidity (ignoring the fact that it is actually disassociative behavior due to depression.) He has male friends because of his typical male behavior; he likes women and he likes to play video games and eat. He's pretty boring right off the bat which makes him an easy rebound for Ramona and a good first serious relationship (in theory) for knives.

Ramona isn't any better. She's cold, aloof, distant, and just plain mean to people she's in a relationship with. She barely has time to explain her feelings to Scott, and ditches him for Gideon (even though the mind control thing is in play, that is still an allegory for not being able to get over an ex and having them in the back of your head.) She doesn't even try and talk things out with Knives, they just start fighting each other and Ramona kind of goes along with it even though she's much older and (supposed to be) more mature than Knives.

In the end I think the moral is supposed to be "you can change if you really want to." Ramona learns how to be a better girlfriend and not a push people away when she's uncomfortable, and Scott learns to put aside his needs and wants in favor of others sometimes.

>>85197204
I liked it for what it was.

>>85197180
This. He really reminds me of my old "best friend" who was an amazing charmer with the ladies but a complete ass once he got comfortable with you. The one time he had a long term girlfriend I had to intervene TWICE because she'd leave his place sobbing and need someone to talk to.

>>85197251

There is only one thing left to do: Blame everyone and everything but yourself. You'll feel much better. Hell, it may sound like I'm being ironic but it can be pretty valid and truthful.

>>85201281
I'm in >>85201132's situation but worse and also older, and now I only blame myself. My advice is the opposite, accept that you're the only one to blame for your situation, it doesn't make anything easier but being full of hate eats your soul away.

>>85186239
To be fair, every single character in Scott Pilgrim (with the exception of Wallace and Knives) is an unlikeable asshole. Ramona is shit so Scott deserves her.

Contrary to societies popular belief; It isn't 100% your fault for your situation. Outside factors can contribute to your downfall.

>>85201281
I'll be totally honest.
It was a great relief finding out I had Aspergers. I've always felt like something was overshadowing the entirety of my life, and when I found out what it was, I pinned all of my personal failures on it. It has eliminated any need for change. I feel that human beings are pre-programmed to have a core personality, and all variance throughout life is just a nuance of that core.

I really don't believe we have any free will.

It doesn't feel like I've ever had any.
There's always a stimulus, and I always react a certain way.

I don't contemplate suicide because I love my mother. I don't know what I'll do when I finally become separated from my immediate family.

>>85201487
I've had ample time to think about it and reason led me to accept that I am the only one to blame. If your case is different, good for you. If it isn't, just accept it, whatever.

>>85198541
>Want to be Scott

Damn

Nah, bunch of assholes have tons of friends.

All you need is a personality to bounce off of to have friends. People who don't talk, do anything or try to stand out are those who don't have friends.

>>85201500
Some people need to accept that their life was already chosen for them just when they were born. With your Aspergers...your brain is defective. Broken. It's neurons built correctly. And other people can just make it worse for you. Because they couldn't guide you the way they should have.

>>85201565
Sometimes it's hard to accept that your situation is from the contribution of others and not just yourself. Because maybe if they weren't around or maybe they were better people: Your fate would have been different. MAYBE.

Neil is great, don't complain.

Wallace and Steven are his only real friends. He and Wallace are assholes to each other but that's part of their friendship and he and Steven seem to be on good terms with one another. Kim tolerates him in the hopes he'll grow up one day. Lis hasn't seen him in forever and still sees him the way she did in highschool. Knives is obessive, andYoung Neil is basically a smaller and nicer version of Scott and hangs around Steven and Kim. Julie treats him the way he deserves to be treated. Ramona and Envy are both shitty people like Scott and they gravitate towards each other

I'd say it's one of those things that you should read when you're young, you'd probably find it more tolerable then, hell, you might even find it charming, so when you get older, you come to realize that the main character is an incredibly flawed piece of shit, and grow to appreciate it more.

Because the focus is not on character but on action, it is something entirely different from the comic.

It is a good ADAPTATION, but people seem to dislike the fact it's not a carbon copy of the comic, which would have ended up terrible.

If you pay attention, the reason pretty much anyone hangs out with him is out of obligation. He hangs out with his bad because he's part of the band, and he just sort of tags along. Note how he's so divorced from his friend's lives that he doesn't know who Jason Kim is, or that he's dating his friend Kim Pine. He otherwise just hangs out with people after recording sessions, practice sessions, parties or just runs into them.

The only tiimes people actually hang out with him out of choice is that day at the beach at book 4, and when during book 6 when its clear he needs help

Also, I definitely agree on anons. Scott Pilgrim bred this sort of generation and subgroup of people who found the comics and movie fantastic and wanted to be like the main characters, only to grow up and get older and realize they were assholes and purposefully written as such. We were all just too dense and wrapped up in their supposed coolness to realize it.

Having friends is just a result of being outside working somewhere or going to school and being social enough to carry more than one conversation until you develop a mutual friendliness towards one another

>>85212824
I definitely wanted to fuck her, but this was many years ago and I was too blind to see I should have told him to fuck himself since I was taking over for him in that department.

Whatever, friendship with that guy is long over, and I still see her once in a while, even meet up occasionally, we're friends but I think we are both just glad to be rid of him and don't want to hang out too much because we'd really rather not think about him.
Is she hot? Yes, still looks right out of high school and has the cutest freckles, but holy shit I can't look at her without thinking about him so nope, no thanks.

>>85212862
Naw, she was always around supporting him in that way of close friends, telling him off when he needed it and telling him to git gud.

>>85186239
well for one he was always there when his friends asked him out. Even though he hated Julie's parties and never drank he went to every one of them.
He played in the band and never got angry at stills for changing bands, he just accepted it.

He helped Kim move when she asked.

Also,

Kim was a vindictive bitch.

Stephen abandoned his friends.

Neil made no time for his friends outside of his own house, then got mad people stopped asking.

Julie was obsessed with her self image and being the popular kid.

Knives was obsessive and violent.

Ramona was cold and distant,


The point of the story is people aren't all perfectly good or complete ass holes but lie somewhere between.
