Three final punches and he went down. This was so much easier than the rest of it. I hear a lone man clapping from the top of a pyramid that she'll never understand. It's probably a good thing though, because this metaphor's all broken. I'm not Scott Pilgrim. I'm not even one of the Evil Exes. I'm a side character. I'm probably Envy Adams.
You know, she really got shafted by the whole deal, when you look at it. Everything she did, she had good reasons for. And she got shafted by everyone at once. Scott had it a lot easier. He had obstacles in his path, but none of them are insurmountable. He can just...fight, and if he's good enough, strong enough, clever enough, then he gets what matters most to him.
No matter how beautiful Envy's singing is, or how much she does what she has to do, there's no accounting for the fact that she ends up miserable. She's Todd's pawn, then she's Scott's castoff, and then Gideon's pawn, and then, just alone.
I wonder what would've happened if she had tried to convince Scott that Ramona wasn't worth the effort. I wonder if she could've convinced him that what they had wasn't perfect, but it could have been. That the problems they had were circumstances and not talking enough and figuring that none of it was worth saving.
I bet that, given the ending, she regretted not trying to save it.
