My biggest complaint against the movie is how they just made Ramona depressed the whole time. In the comics, her relationship with Scott is actually really wholesome and cute despite the obvious flaws.

Without knowing what Negascott was from the comics, there was an added lightbulb moment joke to him being really nice because Negascott read as simple evil twin, but since Scott is actually the evil twin obviously Negascott has to be a nice guy

I think a really important thing about Scott's character in the comics, that I didn't really understand fully until a reread, is that he's not JUST an idiot. He's a willful idiot. He's an idiot as a defense mechanism, because he can't be held accountable for or feel guilty about the things that he does if he's too stupid to understand them. I mean he's genuinely stupid too, like he was always gonna be an idiot, but he's perpetually content to avoid learning things or paying attention to the world around him for the same reason he represses and rewrites his memories of all the shitty things he's done to his previous partners.

It's one of the wrinkles that makes Scott Pilgrim and interesting comic to think about and I hope we get some exploration of that in the upcoming anime's take on the story.

As someone who lives in Toronto, this isn't an adaptation.

It's a documentary of how life is up here.

The funny thing is, I interpreted Scott’s relationship with Knives in the movie as Scott always needing someone to tell him he’s awesome because he doesn’t actually believe it.

For me personally, why I love this movie and why it deeply resonates with me, is because I don't see movie Scott's problem as that he's simply insecure. Instead I see movie Scott as someone who is deeply narcissisticaly insecure, he's so caught up in his own head about his own insecurities that his world fails to see the feelings and thoughts of others. His Journey to self respect is what allows him to get over himself and grow up and finally start considering what's best for people other than himself.

I just always got the feeling that Comic Scott, while a lame nerd, was never the degree of lame nerd that Michael Cera portrayed. I think comic Scott was a little more indie and confident than Michael cera displays throughout the movie

I always took film’s Nega-Scott as being a cool guy as the joke—if it’s the opposite of Scott, because Scott is a self centred asshole, his opposite is just very kind and fun and wouldn’t hurt others so no fight

Scott realising all his friends moving on and Scott eventually realising his memories are wrong and him getting a job is the thing that the movies are missing to its detriment for me. It really makes "Scott earned the power of self respect" mean alot more and not having it without that makes it feel unearned in the movie. The journey of self improvement is just absent in the movie.

The big thing I noticed last time I consumed Scott Pilgrim was the difference between Scott's exes and Ramona's exes - where Ramona's exes all need to be defeated in order to deal with them, Scott's exes are all either already chill, or are talked down - the movie even ends with Knives literally telling Scott to go with Ramona, in direct contrast to Ramona's exes insisting she can't date anyone but them.

I feel like that says something about Scott and Ramona, but I'm not sure what...

What I liked about Cera’s performance is how he captured the “nice” guy. He plays the victim given the opportunity and with a little power he’s manipulative. At the end of the film Scott has learned to be honest about his feeling and realizes how he has hurt people. That’s why nega Scott is a joke since the the painful part of that growth already occurred.

Fun fact: Brian Lee O'Malley has stated that every different media piece of Scott Pilgrim (Book, movie, Netflix series) is actually an alternate timeline.

The main thing about the movie is that the movie does it's style so well that it only needs the most basic of okay plots to be good, and having watched the movie first, I think it did a great job. There is just enough character growth to say there is arcs, and I think that's fine.

this is literally my fav live action movie

I personally like the ending of the film because Scott decides to go with Ramona not for himself but for her when the entire movie. He's been thinking about what he can get out of a relationship rather than what he can give in a relationship and that fits the film version of Scott extremely well

Thank you for willing the anime's trailer into existence, we all know it would only drop after you released your video

I will stand by the scene where Scott jumps out of the window behind Wallace as he closes the door as one of most well written and timed physical comedy scenes of all time. The pace of the film gives you 0 seconds to process the joke so it just gets stepped over by the next scene.

So much of this echoes how I've felt about the movie forever - i read the comics after I saw the movie, and I love both of them for completely different reasons. The movie is a tour de force action movie about some likeable jerks, and the comic is a deep dive into why these likeable jerks are the way they are. The comics blow the movie out of the water, but not because the movie is bad; they're just that much *better*.

You make so mutch quality content even while being on 45k. Keep going, your videos always brighten my day.

It's just insane that they got Everyone for the Netflix show
