Ghost World/YMMV


  • Adaptation Displacement: At the time, the film adaptation overshadowed the graphic novel. This may be changing as the film fades from memory, given the classic status of the comic.
  • Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: When Enid shows Seymour the second half of her sketchbook, and calls him her hero... awwww.
    • A more bittersweet yet still heartwarming moment just after, when Enid and Rebecca hold hands on the bench.
  • Hollywood Homely: Considering that Enid and Rebecca are played by Thora Birch and Scarlett Johansson respectively, this definitely applies.
    • Same goes for the comic, really. Enid's supposed to be kind of plain, but the way she's drawn is incredibly d'aww-inducing, particularily the rare occasions When She Smiles.
  • Hey, It's That Guy!: Bob Balaban and Teri Garr both had large roles in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, but didn't share any scenes.
    • They also play Phoebe's biological parents on Friends.
  • Les Yay: Enid and Rebecca display some characteristics.
    • Again, the park bench hand holding scene.
  • Spiritual Licensee: May be the closest thing we'll get to a live-action Daria movie. Funny, because the comic predates Daria by several years.
  • True Art Is Incomprehensible: Roberta Allsworth's attitude towards her art.
  • The Woobie: Seymour's had it pretty rough. He does have an aggressive side however, which sometimes leads to trouble.
