* Because the deaths in Tragic Backstory Cutscenes are permanent in video games. They can all kill each other a million times during play and just respawn, but all the Tragic Backstory Cutscenes last forever.

* Stephen Still's [[spoiler: SuddenlySexuality]] in Vol. 6. Just...seemed like such an AssPull. And with [[spoiler: Joseph]]? They've been working together, sure, but it doesn't make a lot of sense. [[spoiler: At least if this was done with Niel or someone who's been close to him for a long while, it'd be less of a problem.]]

7 billion somethings



to:

** In the movie at least, it's never said how much money Gideon drops. That 7 billion on the display is a ''point'' bonus.



*** And just about everyone in Scott's circle of friends gives him a hard time over it, while Knive's father comes after him with a sword.
*** Granted, with Mr. Chou, it's because he's white. I do wodner if O'Malley actually even knows if the age of consent of Canada is 16 (and it used to be 14 until the mid-2000s). Either it's a cultural thing or O'Malley just assumed it was like the US.

* So can anyone tell me how the HP System works in the movie universe? I counted the amount of HP Scott had in the first round and it was at 64 points. Yet none of the characters actually ''appear'' to take damage until the fight with Gideon. This includes the Evil Exes who all seem to die from "Critical Hits" (Matthew got knocked out, Lucas blew up, Todd died in ''one headbutt'', Roxy had a literal explosive orgasm and the Katayangi twins got crushed(?)). The only level we see the characters actively take damage is when they started to flash red during the fight with Gideon. So what's the deal?

*** Gideon's mind control chip isn't full-on mind control. It only seems enhance certain emotions, like how the Glow worked in the comic book series.

Added DiffLines:

*** This. The Power of Love sword buffed up Scott to a rather meagre 7+ (while this defeats Roxy in the end, it's rather weak compared to the other swords) and the Power of Self Respect gave him 26+ points. Meanwhile, Gideon's pixel katana buffed him up to a total of 28+ points. So yes, Gideon's sword was simply stronger than the rest of the swords.

** As explained in the Fridge page, the movie is actually a ''cinematic videogame''. The fights are the levels. Make of that what you will, but Scott gained a X2 bonus for each action he took.

** I thought it was just giving Scott more time to think his decision over. Whenever the CONTINUE? option appeared in Ninja Ninja Revolution, Scott felt conflicted about breaking up with Knives. He might have felt conflicted about breaking up with Ramona this time, but chose to man up and continue without having second thoughts.

** Scott is probably just being childish. "Throwing up at a party, man? Really?? That's super gross. Ew." That, or he's just disappointed in the fact that Stephen drank too much and made a disgrace of himself by throwing up.

That, or he's just disappointed in the fact that Stephen drank too much and made a disgrace of himself by throwing up. Plus, considering the implication that Scott has had a bad history with drinking, he might have been in that exact same situation before.

* It's been stated that in this world, people respawn when they die, and also 1-Up's and save points are a thing. So how did Ramona's brother get KilledOffForReal?

* It's been stated that in this world, people respawn when they die, and also 1-Up's and save points are a thing. In the comic book, 1-Up's simply bring you back to life, but in the movie 1-Up's rewind time. It's also canon that when the Evil Exes died they respawned in their homes, so they didn't have a 1-Up.
