At last, Will Smith is opening up on why the infamously changed ending to I Am Legend was the fault of its own audience! Among Will Smith’s long list of film hi
I think the movie made their ages much closer, if I’m not mistaken, but yes she is underaged in the comics and theres even a whole plot point where her dad doesn’t approve of the situation. Still, in the comics it’s clear that Scott isn’t smart or heroic and the movie kind of has the opposite story.
I’m not so sure about that one. It has been misconstrued by people as Scott being a model to look up to, but the movie literally showed him and his ‘evil twin’ being cool together, marking the original Scott as the actualy evil one. It also had him growing from his mistakes of cheating on his GFs, but it definitely started with him being a cheating asshole.

I mean it’s not entirely clear from the start.
It’s a major plot point of the comics/manga that Scott has a self realization that he’s been kind of a shitty person for a long time. A lot of the stories he tells himself about the past, stories that we the reader are meant to take to be the truth at first, namely his rescue of Kim, are distorted by his narcissism. He’s in fact much less heroic than he likes to think he is, sometimes even outright toxic. But it’s acknowledging that fact that let’s him learn, and grow to become a better person. He accepts his flaws, apologizes for his past behavior, takes responsibility for his mistakes, and matures considerably.
