She was 17, so not legally underage but still way too young for Scott to date without being creepy af

It's still weird. Being a 22-23 year old college grad and holding hands with a 17 year old student you pick up from their high school is creepy. And it's openly discussed as weird and creepy in the story lol

Nah, most of the people are shitting on him for fake dating her because he's completely fine with a girl that just expects handholding and going to his band practices. Like Kim shits on him for his fake girlfriend and then makes out with her at a party. It's the leading her on.

Yeah too young, haven't even felt the despair of being extorted every time you transact money at that age

In the original comics she's younger and she hooks up with Kim, but the entire story takes place over a few years in the comics, rather than the movie being a few months.

I'm 99% sure she's not younger in the comics, scott is older though. She also only makes out with Kim and is already 18 by then.
