Scott Pilgrim vs The World | Canadian First Time Watching | Movie Reaction

[@The_RedVIII]

Scott is not imagining these fights, this is just the reality of this world. This is based on a comic book which took a lot of inspiration from videogames. It's just not meant to be taken seriously. In this world everything just feels like a videogame and people burst into coins when they are defeated. Also the Sex-Bob Ombs sounds awesome and all their songs were written by Beck and performed by the actual actors.

[@HorusHeresy1982]

Not all songs were done by the actors.

[@happyslapsgiving5421]

I mean... the comics literally say the opposite. Remember the middle school guy he stole the redhead from? Remember how he wasn't some evil genius, but just a poor kid Scott bullied? Remember how Scott didn't actually "punch him around the world", despite Scott remembering it that way? Remember Scott's moment of realization when he figured out he's falsifying his own memories? Yeaaahhh...

[@dlweiss]

@@happyslapsgiving5421 You're right, but that's one of the MAJOR differences between the comic and the movie adaptation. In the movie, we're given zero indication that the fights aren't real, or even exaggerated - and in fact the movie version gives us tons of indications that everything is happening exactly how we're seeing it, and it's just a heightened world with zany fights. You have every right to dislike the movie adaptation's choice to portray things that way, but it doesn't change the fact that the movie does treat all the fights and powers as genuinely real things.

[@7rollface]

@@dlweiss In the commentary Edgar Wright says that all the visual things are us seeing things how Scott sees them. But he does also say that their reality is one in which putting time into fighting games makes you a good fighter in real life, which is why Scott wins the fights.

[@Jaspertine]

It's more that Scott is an unreliable narrator, so even if it's not strictly "imaginary," it's still Scott's version of events. More importantly, though, the fights are metaphors for the emotional baggage that people are saddled with at the end of a bad relationship.

[@dafty9159]

I find it so funny when people get so confused watching this movie, I saw it when I was like 15-16 and for some reason it made total sense for me and I was cracking up the whole time

[@HelloTardis]

I find it funny when people act superior, for enjoying an Edgar Wright film. It’s not by any means difficult. He’s a brilliant director and it’s no unique or special to enjoy his films. Nobody should have the need to feel THAT important. You sound like a prick. You sound like Gideon! Lol “I find it SO funny when people get so confused…” etc. there’s NO GOOD CONCLUSION to that sentence. You sound like an asshole. And if you told the truth about your age when this came out, then you’re like 27-28 right now, and you should know better. I’m way older than you, but I’d expect you to call me out if I said some stupid shit. Come on noob.

Of course Nega-Scott is a nice guy; He’s the opposite of Scott 🤣😂🤣 Loved that reaction.

[@leovk5779]

They've got a lot in common! XD Scott is not entirely a nice guy, so it makes sense that they are both "gray" to some level.

[@ardenaudreyarji]

Lmao yeah, real Scott is an asshole 😂😂😂😂

[@Eidlones]

Scott has been fighting against the "negative" part of himself the entire movie. Even during the DDR sequence, he can never get past the "shadow ninja". Nega-Scott is a "nice guy" because Scott has accepted that it's part of who he is, and is growing as a person, so they get along. He's the entire point of the film condensed into 20 seconds.

[@glennwelsh9784]

The "boss fights" with the exes aren't just in Scott's head. Everyone else sees them too. The whole movie is a mash-up of video game and Japanese manga tropes, and all the characters inhabit the same surrealistic world, though all the fights do serve as metaphors for how people in relationships struggle and cope with each other's personal baggage as well as their own.

[@totalpartykill999]

not surreal. hyperreal. that was the term to describe the Metal Gear universe.

[@Klaital1]

Nega Scott is poke at a common fighting game trope where at some point you have to fight like the evil version of yourself, but the catch is that since the real Scott is a jerk, his opposite, Nega Scott, is actually a really cool dude.

[@Eidlones]

It's actually how Scott's come to accept his own faults, and like himself as a person. Scott gained the power of self-respect. Before that, he was trying to use Knives to bolster his self-esteem. When him and Knives are playing DDR, it's meant to symbolize him using Knives. It works fine for a time, but when it comes to the real problem (his own reflection, which he must deal with himself), he fails. Cause Knives is just a temporary fix without dealing with the actual issues he has. It's mirrored at the end, when they have the DDR text show up in the end fight, but this time, instead of fighting his mirror self, trying to reject a part of him, he accepts it. And succeeds. Cause he has respect for who he is, warts and all.

[@g.masterlordoftheg-force4770]

I mean, the Dark version of you isn’t always evil. Shadow Kirby, for example, is still good just like Kirby.

[@denizkendirci]

also, at the time, ramona and scott weren't together, so he was also an evil ex. so he was the 8th evil ex.

[@gacchan]

The whole thing is based on a graphic novel. It's a whole genre mixing mess and wonderful.

[@HobGungan]

There was an anniversary zoom reading of this during quarantine with most of the actors returning, and during the climax Jason Schwartzman took out a piece of gum just so he could actually swallow it when they got to the "You made me swallow my gum!" line.

And Aubrey Plaza even brought $@#& signs for when her character auto-censors.

[@mattgarrett2583]

I saw an animated short that came out leading up to this film, Scott is revealed to be the best fighter in all of Toronto, he was dating Kim (drummer) and she got kidnapped by a rival school, so Scott beat up 100 people, including a boss fight, to rescue her. So Kim was very much into Scott until he broke up with her, and now she's just full of annoyance and rage that she is in a band with this guy who is an oblivious douche.

[@ColossalM]

Spoiler alert but in the comics, its revealed that Scott made most of that up and Scott just beat up a kid that was much smaller than him because he was jealous

[@yungjoshx]

scott pilgrim is just one of those movies you have to watch a bunch of times to really appreciate the details. it's my favorite movie of all time

[@scottstevens7639]

Dudes, this was all REAL! Not in his head, or whatever… Don’t know if either of you have been to Toronto, but there were a boatload of T.O. based jokes. My fave was “they make movies in Toronto?” And yes, it’s rare when any major studio movie is actually set in a Canadian city, rather than a Canadian location standing in for an American setting. That’s one of the biggest reasons why this is one of my fave movies.

[@scottstevens7639]

@Jermare Yes. Probably way more than in Toronto. But again, it’s usually a stand-in for an American city.

[@MarcosElMalo2]

@Jermare Toronto was one of the first cities where a substantial amount of Hollywood Production fled due to lower costs-and because you could replicate many different U.S. locations. When Toronto became too busy (i.e., the infrastructure could only service so many productions), other locations became popular, both in the U.S. and Eastern Europe and I suppose Vancouver. Previous to Toronto becoming a big production center, it was common for many movies to shoot the majority of scenes on Hollywood soundstages, and then spend a week or two on location in whatever place. And whenever possible, they used L.A. locations when the locations could reasonable be stand-ins for the movie or tv show setting. And in some cases, they’d send out a skeleton crew (aka, second unit) to a distant location if they just wanted establishing shots of settings (the cliche car driving across a well known bridge into a city, for example). With regard to saving costs, I’m of the understanding that the governments of these various non-Hollywood production centers offered various tax incentives and funding options-like CBC co-productions. California has had to follow suit (at least with regard to tax subsidies. Iirc, Toronto at the time was non-union, so crew salaries/benefits were lower. Today, IATSE has a stronger presence in Canada. But don’t get me started on union vs non union labor.

I've come to terms that this movie (and comic it's based on) is brilliant BECAUSE everybody but Scott is likeable. He has to step up to deserve them all! Fun fact: Wallace is played by a brother of Macaulay Culkin! Kieran Culkin. Wallace is a GEM. One of the few chars who's even BETTER in the movie compared to the comics. Please continue the Edgar Wright movies. Never a mistake!

[@petrinafilip96]

"Is Scott here?" "He...uh..." *CRASH* "Just left."

[@lintyskittle1047]

I've never seen anyone interpret this movie as being all in Scott's head before. When George watches other comic book movies, does he assume that the superheroes are all really just regular people who are only imagining that they have powers?

[@cucumberlemonade5358]

well its based on what u expect no need to be condescending

[@michaelccozens]

That would be a level on which you could read such movies, sure, especially as they are simply power fantasies at their base. Isn't that genre-deconstruction movie with Rainn Wilson about that? "Super", I think?

[@slowflowsen498]

To be fair there is a deleted/gag end credit scene on the DVD where Scott Pilgrim is wanted for the murder of multiple world famous music artists, an actor, a music mogul and dozens of others. Could be a good idea for another series if Brian Lee O'Malley ever got the itch to go back to this universe.

[@hadoken95]

I would have thought 'based on a comic book' would have been some place they'd be aware of before going in and to not try to think too deeply about it. Not that comic books can't be deep just - this is clearly all VERY stylized and not some sort of mental health commentary.

[@MarcosElMalo2]

George had the same sort of issue with Monty Python and the Holy Grail. But who are we to criticize and say he is wrong, even if he is very wrong. His interpretations and opinions are just as valid as ours, even if he’s wrong in all respects. 😉 Keep on, George. Ignore the haters-even when they’re right and you’re wrong. 👍

[@sharkdentures3247]

The idea that the fights are "in his head" is a thought that I've never heard before. But you can tell it was "REAL" (for THAT universe) because, if you watch closely, you see the flicker of the mind control chip breaking in the back of Ramona's neck/head when Knives kicks her.

It blows my mind how many people get upset that Scott didn't end up with Knives. The wholenthing is that Scott and Romona are both kinda shit and hurt everyone around them which is why they belong together.

[@michaelccozens]

I'm not sure what Ramona did, particularly. Seems more like her exes are trying to control her. Scott starts as a dick, sure, but he's at least trying to be better by the end, and making some amends for his past sins. That's about the best most of us can do, and better than many of us are currently doing. It is weird that people would want the obviously-exploitative relationship between Scott and Knives to continue. They could be friends, maybe, if Scott became less manipulative and discouraged the immature starry-eyed worship from Knives. As it stands, the relationship is pretty abusive. Maybe people think Knives' intense desire for Scott (or, at least, her idealized/romanticized version of him as "the cool guy", generally) should be rewarded, based on past personal experiences with unrequited interest? Even that's quite toxic, though, as Knives isn't actually interested in Scott as a person (she gets something of a pass on that because, y'know, 17, and on the immature/inexperienced side, to boot). If you actually love someone who doesn't return the feeling in the manner you might hope, you tend to think about what's best for them, not for you.

[@MarcosElMalo2]

@@chrisbergsten1429 This is a very good interpretation. I’d also throw in something that you didn’t make explicit: the evil exes are evil . . . to whom? Something that I realized about my long line of crazy exes (who all seemed like wonderful people at the beginning of our relationships) was that they all had one thing in common: Me. Maybe I was the crazy one, maybe I made them crazy. Maybe it was me that was cruel and toxic. The reality (of my life) is that it was probably a mix, a meshing of our crazy gears. Regardless, I have to accept that I have been a piece of shit in my relationships with others-if there is joint blame, it’s better not to dwell on that. It’s better to focus on what I can change, which is me and my defects.

I think part of the issue to me is that I just don't get the appeal of Ramona for Scott. They don't even seem to enjoy their time together.

[@sjhcanada]

The Scott Pilgrim graphic novels are in many libraries if you don't want to spend $100 on them.

FUN FACT: 19:00 She's the voice of Katara on Avatar: The Last Airbender

George & Simone hanging out together makes me happy. Love these guys.

[@Steppeponytail]

A quick note. During the fight with the twins Scott summons a King Kongish 'Monster'...with Green Eyes. He defeats the twins using the power of Jealousy, the Green Eyed Monster.

Seen the movie 1000 times, never knew that

[@rhey81]

The tribute to the film " The Warriors" when they showed Lucas Lee's stunt team was low key so cool...

[@StMargorach]

This IS reality. This is based on a comic and videogame

I live in a suburb city attached to Vancouver. I used to see a movie set pretty much every 2 months. I rented vhs from the same place as at least 1 x files cast. When I worked 7-11, I rang through more than a few coffee refills in xfiles staff mugs. Then the world fell apart….

[@dustyb58]

Sure hope someone in the comments over-explains everything, cuz thats always a fun time! Great cast.

[@nobodx]

i Love the soundtrack, esp those tracks by beck and obviously Black Sheep Btw nobody mentioned yet, that Scott beat Captain America and made out with Captain Marvel ? ;)

[@target844]

He bet superman too. The vegan ex was played by Brandon Routh that was superman back in 2006

[@JGComments]

You guys are in the same room? What the heck! Love this movie, thanks for the reaction!

[@brucechmiel7964]

So lets clear this up because lots of commenters have already said it. NOTHING in this movie is a metaphor. The super powers the crazy deaths everything is literal. This is why you read comics and play Nintendo.

[@smavtmb2196]

Fellow Canadian here. Another fun reaction, but I'm sure I'm not the only one sad we didn't get to hear Simone on the drums.

[@cutman25604]

Yesssss! One of my most favorite movies of all time!

[@tegnebjarne4209]

I recently showed this to my 14 year old son. As the movie started his reactions were: "Uhmmm... dad, what is this?" "Dad? What the..??" "DAD! WHAT ARE WE WATCHING??" ...(an hour of stunned silence).. After the credits, In a subdued voice: "...dad,.... WHY HAVE WE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE?? THAT WAS CRAZY!!"

[@michaelccozens]

Vancouver did get to play a very thinly-veiled version of itself as "New York with Rockies" in Jackie Chan's "Rumble in the Bronx", so at least there's that.

[@TheGorignak]

So many Easter eggs in this film. My favorite is all the fighters have numbers, including Scott. Scott wears zero t-shirt and drinks coke zero.

[@leme3503]

Y'all don't get there's actual 'magic' in this? The Subspace thingies, real. The figths, real. The way his sister censors herself, real. The fact that people can suddenly appear somewhere, like Envy did, or have super speed, like his sister, real. The fact he also put on his hat magically from in one cut when Envy calls his hair shaggy, real. Nothing is imagined.

[@angramainyu9220]

His sister?

[@warrenator1000]

Evil Ex #3 was Brandon Routh, who played Superman and the Atom in a few DC properties. Evil Ex #4 (the girl) is Mae Whitman, the voice of Katara on Avatar: The Last Airbender.

[@RaptorShadow]

Her?
