I don't really care about her having a large number of exes, though the 'that one time in college' thing with the lesbian was poor fucking taste. I care about the fact that everything became so unlikeably dumb once Gideon entered the plot and the reason for it was so fucking cheap. I mean really? Was I supposed to laugh at that? A whole faux-angsty subplot for the sake of one joke?
Also my GOD I hated the constant string of references. I hated how stupid and mainstream they were, like they were trying to make a compromise between 'Selling the movie' and 'Appealing to our target audience' and the humour reached the point of being bland and uncreative.
It's not like I can't have fun with a show, or find stupid things funny. I have a very very wide sense of humour. I just really really didn't like Scott Pilgrim.
