The band’s music is “bad” because their songs (or at least the first) are easy, just the same 3 cords over and over again instead of 4, and with little change. Something like that In the comic, the defeated people who turn into coins just reappear in their home

Oh interesting!!

[@bryangarcia5207]

[@Brodysseous]

Also, Beck wrote the Sex Bob-Omb songs, so they are intentionally simple and garage band style. He nails the style and they're still catchy imo.

[@GamerH00ves]

bob-ombs are little explosive enemies in the super mario bros world i think their band name derives from that and the sex pistols

[@theassortedhobbyist]

The Scott Pilgrim comics told a unique coming of age story of a boy working through his worst attributes, the mistakes he made, and the people he has hurt in order to grow and change for himself, his loved ones, and for the girl that inspires him to be his best self. As bad of a person Scott is, him coming to terms with his short comings is one of the most emotionally impactful character arcs I’ve read. At the same time, we see characters like Envy, Kim, and Knives grow from their experiences and move on with their respective lives, while Ramona comes to terms with how she responds to relationships and anything that could lead to potential heartbreak. Although this movie is fantastic in a lot of different aspects, it barely scratches the surface of what made this story engaging and awe-inspiring in the first place. Side note, the new animated series serves as spectacular complimentary material to the original comics, taking the concept and putting a new twist on the narrative and taking the story and characters in a new direction that fleshes out and explore new aspects of these familiar characters.

[@MadcapMatt]

This movie came out before they finished the comics. He liked the scene with the dead arrow so much that he put it in the comic

One of the best jokes in this movie is nega Scott was a good guy because actual Scott is a terrible person

[@thebestofstephx]

Hahaha I didn’t even think about that. I love it

[@greenpeasuit]

Nah, I think you missed the mark there. First off, by then, Scott had grown. The real reason they got on is because many of the characters had numbers associated with them. 1-7 for the exes, 10 for Ramona... Scott (and Neill) is a zero! Thus, Nega Scott is negative zero. They equal each other.

I remember going to see this movie in theatres back in 2010 with my best friend and a friend I'd had a crush on all the way back in grade nine, and the three of us had fun. I ended up buying the comics a year later and honestly, I love the movie, but, the comics were able to really take their time with the material. I'm from Canada, and live in Ottawa, so seeing Toronto in a movie, that wasn't a Canadian production, was pretty awesome. Great reaction btw! I'll be sticking around for more.

[@videohistory722]

Todd is waaaaaay worse in the books than he is here. That whole thing about punching a hole in the moon for Ramona? He does that with every girl he goes out with. And envy is actually one of Scott's evil exes, and has to fight Ramona. And Roxys weakness in the movie is Envys in the book.

[@DonnyD_Mingo]

Its more that he punched one hole in the moon and told all the girls he was with at the time that it was for them, Ramona was horrified by it and Envy was into it

[@coreyc756]

Agreed its creepy, and glad his friends called him out on it, but the reason jail doesnt get mentioned is because Knoves is above the Canadian age of consent.

[@planetsidewinderreact]

I personally don’t draw outside of my general age range, and still think it’s a bit weird when someone that young dates another person just outside of what most people think is the age of consent. However, correct me if I’m wrong, but they didn’t really do much of anything before her birthday, and as strange as it is, I don’t think one can go to jail just based on dating but whatever acts may or may not happen within said relationship. As I said I’m just logically trying to see this from all angles.

[@BoredDan7]

Ya, age of consent in Canada is 16 as well as having Jack and Jill laws which are 5 years for 14-15, so even 2/3 years earlier it might have even still been legal (not sure on if technically > or < 5 years difference). Regardless all still creepy, but ya never illegal.

The thing about character growth is the main character usually starts as likeable and ends up as likeable *and* mature. Scott Pilgrim starts off as unlikeable and ends in a place where he could become likeable. It's a risky choice, but it makes him more genuine, because most people aren't all that likeable, at least not to start.

You probably missed the part where Knives invited Scott to her birthday dinner, meaning she turned 18. You probably missed the part where all they did was hold hands and she kissed him once. You probably missed the part where the film was set in Canada, and in Canada the age of consent is 16. So should Scott go to jail? No. Why? Because he didn't break any laws.

I don't really get the age hate, they basically just hung out, they really were not dating. He really just made friends with a 17 year old. A girl in my 7th grade class was married to a 50 year old, that should have been illegal

True I mean it's not like Scott dated her because she was 17 anyway he was doing it more so as just a crutch he's a jerkass yeah for sure but he's not into diddling kids and he actually does have some redeeming qualities in the movie itself despite being fewer then in the comic like when he immediately stood up for Knives and to be completely fair I probably did worse than him "let it be known that it was the first time anyone asked me out and I didn't have a single idea what to do so it just happened" I dated this one 15 yr old when I was 17 and it was nice her parents were cool and she was well she definitely wasn't the nicest, definitely had some issues but there were good qualities, I didn't try anything because well that's weird and I have no balls and then i got dumped and proceeded to not date anyone again because 1. That shit is hard and 2. I'm NOT good at it

While I don’t think this is the best movie or a 1 to 1 adaptation of the comics (due to the last 2 chapters not even being published yet and the movie cutting some scenes from the comic) I think it is a good enough start for the franchise and a good enough start before watching the animated series

Everyone in the movie, outside of Kim, pretty much sucks. The characters aren't meant to be likeable, which is where the comedy comes from. Even Knives is messed up for using Young Neil and shaming Ramona for her weight. Dunking on Scott is boring because the actor does such a good job of balancing realistic shittiness and humor.

[@wyterabitt2149]

I'll never get the obsession over all circumstances. 18 year old is literally a hardcore p*** category and has been for so long, more in the US than anywhere else in the world. But a 22 year old and someone a few months younger than that in a steady relationship - PRISON!!!! Add in the fact that most of the civilised western world has it lower than 18, doesn't see a 17 year old as a "minor", and just is open to accepting that real relationships can develop, it feels like such a strange blanket attitude to have. If a 22 year old was looking for 17 year olds, hanging around schools to get to them or anything like that, then that of course would be a concern.

Really not a fan of the animated series. Called Scott Pilgrim, features almost NO Scott. All about Ramona, Svott's friends, and the league members. Imagine a "what if" if Scott lost to Matthew Patel. Kind of that, but not quite. Then throw in as much wokeness as you can get away with. Have about a dozen "executive producers" besides Edgar Wright (they keep using that word. I do not think executive means what they think it means). Cool that they not only got the original cast to voice it, though, but also really famous others to cameo their voices.
