If you read the author's livejournal (destroyerzooey) you learn that Kim Pine is the fan favorite. If I hadn't seen the polls, I never would have believed it. Why her?! She hates The World (also: herself) and The World hates her back. Actually, she reminds me of some of the librarians I work with. >_> I guess people like her because she has that "snark/everyone hates me but that's okay because I hate them too" thing going on. I think she IS gay and that this IS the origin of her rage, but that things spiraled from there so that the present source of her h8 is simply the fallout from previous h8.
I feel for her, but I can't bring myself to pick a favorite Scott Pilgrim character...maybe Wallace or Stacey.
That was totally Gideon in subspace! I mean, what other Evil Final Boss with a Mysterious Connection to Ramona could it have been? I missed the part with the sword but I was pretty freaked out that Ramona was basically occupying the place of Villain's Pet Cat in that tableau. (Didn't she looked blank-eyed?) It's hard to reconcile that Ramona with the Ramona that's dating Scott and my guess is that the series finale will be mostly concerned with this, with of course an epic fight scene after. (Well, duh.)
I didn't see what was so bad about Envy Adams...but then I reminded myself that these were SCOTT'S FRIENDS talking, and as far as that goes, Scott was pretty much a giant mess when she was done with him. Was that her fault? Was it his? Was it inevitable? Who knows -- but HE was willing to go for a relationship where he was outclassed; she was the one who decided that because he was (now) beneath her, they had to break up.
And now Scott's in a relationship with a woman who doesn't have that problem. XD So you see, there is a method to the madness.
I was a little disappointed with volume four -- awesome plot twists (lesbian ex, Knives' dad, Scott's job) but it seemed kind of broken up. Next time less scene-jumping, plz.
