In the comics Scott is supposed to be a shitty person. Also Ramona Flowers was a pretty shitty person too. They were meant for each other. You really aren't supposed to think they are good people. It kind of gets lost in the movie.

[@IzaiahKelly]

This ! The books kinda deconstruct both of them and in my opinion they really allow both of them to grow especially in the last two books when both Scott and Ramona have to face their demons and become better people because they struggle through them and overcome them . With Ramona it’s her running away when things start to get tough and facing her emotions and how she treats people though she realizes she’s a bad person . It’s the same thing with Scott but Scott kinda refuses to face this reality til later. Also I love the fact that Stephen still realizes he’s gag after he’s tired of dealing with julie’s crap for years and it’s literally one of Kim’s roommates lmao

It's called the right way to write an anti-hero. Someone who litterally seems anti-heroic in his own story. Not brooding for brooding's sake. Also, protagonist doesn't equal hero just like anatagonist doesn't equal villian. There are a more then a few stories out there that break that trope. The Joker movie for example, the protagonist is not only not a hero or anti-hero, he is a villian... A villian with sympathetic story, but villian just the same.

People just want their perfect fantasy instead of thinking. Never once does the story justifies what Scott did. Do they sometimes make it a gag or throw in some comedy? Yes. Can't forget that the movie was directed by a British guy. Just look at The Inbetweeners or The Office. I think part of it is some closet sexism against men. Trin especially has been becoming more sexist and so is her fan base. I don't think she is sexist, but has sexist tendency. Why do you would think she and her fans were okay for men, even innocent men, being killed by Megan Fox's character?

[@Funnyowl69]

the whole point of the graphic novel is ramona and scott realizing how they’re both shitty people. ramona cheated on her exes and gets angry about scott, she makes out with roxy because she thinks scott is cheating on her with lisa (scott just ended up crying about how much he loved ramona and passing out on her couch). scott realizes he’s a douche that makes himself feel better about himself by forgetting everything and coming to terms with his fake memories/amnesia. the part where ramona straight up vanishes for months and scott goes back into a depression makes this more powerful especially when ramona talks about how she just vanished and went to her dad’s house to watch tv and do nothing instead of facing her own issues. ramona runs from all her problems while scott represses them and it’s not going to always be smooth sailing but they’re going to try their hardest to make things better. that’s what scott pilgrim should be about.

[@EmeraldRich]

I mean, this whole movie, video game, and manga was created by Bryan Lee O’Malley. He is Korean and white and he went on to apologize for making the franchise “so white”. Also, most people know that Scott is a douchebag. There was a ending that they were going to go with and it was going to show Scott in his apartment watching the news where it talks about a Canadian man murdering 7 people. Then you would hear sirens in the back and it would cut there. I wish they did that cause that makes it more interesting and dark at the same time. This movie was the one of the defining movies from my childhood. I still have the soundtrack on my Spotify (specifically the opening credit song, metric singing black sheep from clash of the demonhead, and threshold from the amp v amp scene). I love this movie so much.

Adding on to what trin said about knives being seen as "inferior" to Ramona (bc ramona is white, and knives is asian), I really do see how that could fuck up the mindset of a young asian american teen and I honestly never really thought about it when watching this movie. Being asian its inevitable that i do sometimes think about how some people view me based on what race I am.

This is also why the climax of the film sees Scott and KNIVES take down Gideon; the original film ending was going to have Scott return to Knives, and the film was building up to that. However test audiences hated that ending, and meanwhile O'Malley released the final book in which Scott and Ramona reconcile. They shot a new ending, (the one ultimately used in the film) but unfortunately, restoring Ramona's development as the other half of the narrative would have required reshooting pretty much the entire second half of the film.

@@naniisims right but often they will do things like this in movies, which plays into the stereotype. Why couldn't she just be bisexual? Her being with men now doesn't mean it had to just be a phase.

[@emily94455]

@Cyberdemon Mike of course, but historically there has not been good representation of bisexual people, so if this is always the way movies portray it, it is not good. For most people its not a phase, so we need better representation of that.

[@anonomit8229]

@@emily94455 Well Ramona would still be a bad representation. She is supposed to be a bad person and I don't think that bisexual people want someone like that to represent them. Also, it's not something that really needs to be explored in her character. Hell, you can just head cannon that she is bisexual and it won't really change anything. edit : I'm not trying to say that bisexuals shouldn't be represented, I'm just saying that there are better people than Ramona for it

[@amaris145]

@@anonomit8229 ? she's not representing bi people just because she had a bi phase. she is supposed to be a character with a backstory and Bryan Lee O Malley just happened to choose her backstory to have a bii phase she doesn't represent an entire sexuality my dude

It’s really weird because the comic Scott is worst yet his character develops more then the movie character and is way more likeable in the end.

[@andrewe2057]

Funny how a 90 minute movie has less time for character development than a series of graphic novels.

@@andrewe2057 Some people are just determined to put down the movie and ignore everything because it’s not spelled out for them.

One of the things I really like about Scott Pilgrim, in the comics, and in the movie is that Scott is pretty unanimously a bad person, he isn't supposed to be a good person, in the comic he has a bit more character growth, but all in all I don't think you're supposed to think he's a good person. Honestly, I really really love the comic, but any time I bring it up I'm super sketched out by anyone who relates too much to scott

Your little tangent about Asian / Asian Female / PoC representation of films was really moving. I just wanted to say that I hope you know that with >500k subscribers YOU are that representation for some young girls now, and you do a fantastic job of it, you should be really proud of yourself

[@wickedjuice]

You know Japan, China, Korea and other countries in Asia have film industries, and have done for decades. Maybe don't limit yourself to english language films.
