It's some socially awkward 'Nice Guy' chasing a manic pixie dream girl while the director self-inserts their old high school insecurities by making them somehow one-up jocks or 'popular kids' that were actually probably not that bad, it just seemed that way at the time because they were jealous assholes and they needed to assign flaws to the people they perceive as better than them in order to gently fondle their own self-esteem. And then they try way too hard to be Smart and make witty jokes without ever actually laughing at them, and all they listen to is obscure indy bands. It's like this weird pandering hashtag relatable 'nerds being cool is a fashion starement' genre.

Damn it.
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
