I couldn't disagree more. I really thought Ramona was utterly contemptible and totally unlikeable. What kind of person has seven evil exes? Does she ever take any responsibility for the catastrophic failure that is her entire romantic history? (She is, after all, the only common denominator in those relationships.) Oh, and how is it okay for her to have cheated on him with Roxie while Roxie was plotting to kill him? And why does she abandon Scott, without any explanation whatsoever, after he defeats ex 6? That, I thought, was totally unforgivable.
And where does she get off constantly belittling Scott? In a subsequent confrontation between Scott and Roxie, Ramona calls Scott a coward. Seriously? The man who is in the process of dueling to the death a series of seven killers on her behalf, while she barely lifts a finger to help him (this one scene here is pretty much the only time she helps him at all until the final fight with Gideon). And she repeatedly calls him stupid. At one point, she tells him that what she likes about him is that he is "simple-minded," and then she gets upset because he can't tell her what he likes about her.
I actually thought that scene was pretty telling, to be honest. Scott can't say anything he likes about her because there isn't anything to like about her. Yes, she's a teleporting ninja, and that is cool, but she's still a lousy human being.

Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
