​@ComicCrossing well Scott also pulled a love sword and a self respect sword. Lucas Lee also didn't have anything was just built different. And Todd was vegan. And technically the Scott or his band as a whole summoned a yeti

[@jackalbane]

Fun facts: The original ending of this film was Scott ending up with Knives, but it didn't test well with audiences. The woman who played Knives Chau, while playing the youngest person in the main cast, was actually the oldest actress. The reason it feels like a manga is because this was based on a comic book.

[@emurphy42]

Knives belongs with NegaScott

[@ImAlsoMerobiba]

​​​​​​@@emurphy42 NegaScott is meant to a manefesation of all of Scott's faults, his selfishness and forgotten past mistakes. He's not a great person, but also not evil. People assume that since they get along, that NegaScott is the opposite of Scott but he isn't. If anything, they get along because NegaScott is like Scott. Him defeating NegaScott is supposed to represent him recognizing and taking accountability for his faults. That's also why the 2nd sword he pulls out of himself is power of self-respect. The whole NegaScott thing was supposed to be the climax of his growth arc, although it doesn't play out that way in the movie.

[@blueyeshadow2738]

[@pabloc8808]

I think it's fine that Scott ends up with Ramona instead of Knives, but not because they're soulmates or anything, it's just that Scott and Ramona are an ok fit, and Knives deserves someone who's a good fit for her. Neither ending is perfect, one could always poke holes to be a hater, but I think this ending works

Scott Pilgrim is the name of a 90's indie song by Plumtree that became a comic book. The character Steven Stills is named after the Stills of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, leading to the younger character Young Niel. Ramona is a Ramones song. Kim's name is the name of the drummer from the band that sings Scott Pilgrim. Most of the music was created by Beck.

[@joits]

I'm still blown away how good the fight choreography and camera work in those scenes are. And the camera work is so important because we can actually see what's going on, unlike in some of the Bourne movies where they made a big deal about Matt Damon's training and the fighting style he used only for them to overdo it with the shaky cam rendering the whole point of him learning how to fight onscreen because we couldn't see what he was actually doing. A lot of what I saw in Scott Pilgrim reminded me of the Hong Kong style martial arts movies that I grew up watching in the mid-80s.

[@kilodi]

For me this movie is about relationships and getting over heartbreaks. I have had times where girls would bring up certain aspects of their exes they liked (more) and to be honest I also had similar thoughts. In the beginning of a relationship we all are subconsciously fighting those aspects of those exes in their mind, with the things we do, make breakfast, get nicer presents, be more thoughtful, play better music, have stronger convictions, etc. In if you do the right things for the right reasons you may even end up becoming a new better person. Getting a life is like when you break up or mess something up and then fight to prove that you truly have changed This movie just brought all thought fights in such a creative way, it is my top 10 all time movie and Edgar Wright's best for me.

[@Jjw338]

This is one of my favorite films of all time. Not because of the story, but how creative the visual effects and the editing is for the type of film it is. Edgar Wright is an incredible filmmaker. Shame that he didn’t do Ant-Man.

[@RolandDeschain1]

This movie should have been Oscar nominated for every single technical category. The editing and sound design are absolutely stunning.

[@RaixsOreh]

Scott pilgrim is my absolute favorite graphic novels. For those unfamiliar with the comics, Scott is supposed to be imperfect, not exactly unlikeable, but he makes a lot of bad decisions and stupid mistakes. Because despite the pop culture and nerdy references and imagery, at it's core, the Story of Scott Pilgrim (both in the Comics and Movie, but more so in the Comics) is a story about Relationships, Heartbreak, Moving On, Personal Baggage, Personal Mistakes, and Self-Improvement in a way. Both main characters, Scott Pilgrim, and Ramona Flowers are full of baggage. We meet scott a year after Envy (Brie Larson), his girlfriend who he spent years with, broke his heart and broke up with him, and now he's decided to "date" a 16 year old knives, just because its easy, without baggage or trauma. While Ramona is a girl just riddled with baggage and mistakes, but because of pure coincidence, attracts the attention of Scott, and as she has run away from america to leave all her problems behind, in Scott, she saw the same simplicity that Scott saw in Knives. And throughout the 6 books of scott pilgrim, we see them struggle through their baggage and trying to become better people. Because ultimately, they're both very shitty people. Scott is a slacker, ignorant to the point that he thinks all of his previous relationships were awesome and that his Girlfriends were lucky to have dated him. But this ignorance is revealed to be caused by him suppressing all the bad stuff because bottling it all up is so much easier for him than to face all the mistakes he's ever made. While Ramona has commitment issues as she runs away whenever she thinks things are getting too difficult and serious, leading to the 7 evil exes that she has. they come to terms with their past mistakes even though they try to run away from it (like Ramona) or keep it out of their mind entirely (like scott did), we also get to explore their relationships with their friends, exes, and the people around them, and by the end they learn and become better people, or at least try and see if they can become better people after they stop running away and ignoring their baggage. And incase you didn't notice, Scott has his own evil Exes too, there's Knives, Envy (Brie Larson), and Kim. In the comics there was even a girl named Lisa that wasn't covered in the movie (she was one of my favorite characters in the story along with Natalie). This is one of my all time favorite stories, and I love the Comic as well as the Movie (though the movie could definitely have been more accurate.) Edit: Also from the comics, it isn't clear whether all the fantastic stuff in the world is real or just a metaphorical representation of the story's events. but Ramona claims she studied at Big Sky (a big university in the sky held down by a Giant Chain) so it's up to you if you think it's just metaphorical or literal. Additionally, if I remember correctly, it's clear in the comic that The Seven Evil Exes are the only people Ramona has dated. They weren't evil to begin with, but became evil partly because of how Ramona left them all broken hearted. Also: a Scott Pilgrim Anime is confirmed to be in development with the same cast as the voice actors and Edgar Wright is directing again.

Best description of this movie is "think of it like a musical, except for video games." But also I love to see people's reactions when Matthew Patel flies in and starts the actual first fight :)

Scott Pilgrim is the ultimate story of an unlikeable loser learning maturity and self-respect. It's unfortunate so many people took the wrong lesson fron the comics, but they are a great read.

[@vsGoliath96]

I think one of my favorite little bits of trivia for this film is that Ellen Wong, playing the 17 year old chinese school girl, is actually older than almost every woman on the cast. They actually make a joke about this when Knives is yelling about how Scott likes Ramona because she's old, like probably 25, which is how old Wong actually was. Also kind of funny is that the inverse is true for Brie Larson, who plays a woman in her mid 20's but was about 19 during filming.

[@Kevmaster2000]

10/10 Epic indeed The tagline for this film is "An Epic of Epic Epicness" and I couldn't agree more. After waiting in line for 3 hours after last night's Comic-Con and finally being sat in the gorgeous Balboa Theater, I didn't know what to expect. I loved the comics and the previews looked faithful. The moment the movie starts (literally; the Universal logo and theme are 8-bit) you are thrown into a comic book atmosphere with video game references aplenty. The plot revolves around Scott Pilgrim needing to defeat the 7 Evil Exes of Ramona Flowers in order to date her and it is a harrowing sequence of battles. Each fight is crazier than the last and some are used purely for comedy, not excitement. Almost every other line is a punchline and they all work. References to TV shows, video games and comics (just like a 20-something's life would include) are everywhere and if you accept the concept of the plot, it all feels natural. While the audience might've been biased (we held a 10-minute standing ovation for Edgar Wright when the movie finished) there's no denying that it's an excellent film. Edgar Wright has an uncanny sense of comic timing with edits and sound cues to make the picture tight and focused when it's looking for laughs.

During Covid, the cast went on webcam to hang out with each other and did a table read of the script for fans.

OH MY GOD PLEASE DO A WARRIOR WATCHALONG IT IS MY ACTUAL FAVOURITE FILM

[@ZachBobBob]

One of my favourite movies of all time I'm so jealous this is your guys first time watching!

[@jessesanford1503]

So glad you came back for this movie. I recommend doing Warrior too. Not nearly as stylized, but and amazing story with lots of emotion and great fights. The way the movie slowly ramps and crescendos at the end is something special.

[@jayparkinson661]

Talking about her being Captain Marvel, Brie actually sings for the movie. There is an excellent music video for the entire song.

[@loganbigmo]

Yeah, I'm surprised they skipped that in the highlight.

[@besupaaa]

I think that the moment Scott meets Ramona we can see that he's been with Knives only to feel good about himself because he just wants to feel cool and powerful.

[@BoredDan7]

I highly disagree with the too long bit. I think a LOT of what makes everything work is how Scott continually persists despite set backs, how he grows throughout the movie and how losing that final fight finally puts things into perspective and begins some self reflection. I don't think the ending really works if he just wins that fight to begin with.

Ok, I love the 'storytelling' of you two swapping positions. Tara *crushed* that intro, i see you girl, phenomenal job!

[@AdrianChazz]

_"This movie knows how to play with your senses..."_ Beautifully said.

[@AFC-ef4gs]

Captain America / Human Torch, Superman / The Atom, Captain Marvel, Huntress and Ragman all in the same movie 😂

[@ManLikeBetty]

ONE OF MY FAV MOVIES OF ALL TIME! SO GOOD! Love seeing Tara again!

[@StoryTimewithMissAnna]

Also, Spaced is SO filled with references, that one of the subtitles options on the DVDs is nothing but telling you every reference as it happens.😂both hilarious and supremely nerdy.🥰

Recommend the comics - they have a different plot as the movie was released before all of the volumes were released. They have a completely different ending and all of the characters are expanded on (especially Kim and Envy). There is an anime series with the exact same cast releasing soon which has the author as a producer.

I LUV this movie. I like how Greg was catching all the small things in the film. Thanks for the reaction.

[@ChanTheManofficial]

This is my favorite film of all time and it made me so happy to see you guys gushing over it like I do. I’m super excited for the anime that has the entire cast returning coming to Netflix. Awesome video man

[@TawnyRoyal]

Greg’s little “stoner giggle” cracks me up every time

[@brittonisluck]

Tara has become my spirit animal with every movie reaction yall do lmfaooo, also id love to have my music in your guys videos!

[@terencole1854]

This was awesome to see Greg go from skeptical of the film to laughing his heart out. 😂awesome shock reaction

[@Hauns91]

Saw this during a midnight premier. Was one of the more memorable experiences.

[@TRPLD]

As to the how: A lot of different things, but most importantly very, very, very good editing!

[@LupusOmnia]

I LOVE this movie. It’s so rewatchable for me. It makes me wonder how an Ant-Man film would have been if Edgar Wright was still attached to it

[@mikemath9508]

21:55 an excellent white goodman dodgeball impression

[@andareon]

This movie is obviously a classic, but I'm very happy to see Tara react to it, It's always even greater when she's around :)

[@CameySaurusRex]

This movie will always remain my personal most favorite movie not only from Edgar Wright but also from the year of 2010. And Ramona immediately became a movie crush. And I'll never forget the pre movie release party that me & my brother attended at a former existing comic book store called Atomic Comics. Had catering, games & live bands. Seen it in theaters twice tho. I love all the funny one liners & comic book sound effects/references. And the fight scenes & music just rules.
