I can't remember the movie super well but the comics make it clear that Scott's view of Ramona is heavily rose tinted and she's a shitty useless asshole too.
This is the problem with the movie. It cuts out all Ramona's complexity and Scott's rose-tinted view of everything.
Most important pages in the comics, IMO, are these - all from Vol 6 btw, which IIRC was still being done while the movie was in production.
INCLUDING YOU - and she's 18 here
The movie completely gutted Envy, which I'll never forgive it for. These pages of them talking are some of the best
Not having Lisa Miller (and also some of this stuff) was rough too.
Scott accepting the NegaScott as part of him
I always appreciated them admitting their flaws as well. It's always been "talking and fighting" which the new show gets right.
As someone who can never get out of their head, I really appreciate the role the glow plays.
Envy was a really important character
After 6 volumes of her being the big ex, this is very satisfying
Anyway, the anime gets all the character complexity even with the twist, it's so much better than the film, which involved a ton of flattening.
