This was supposed to be posted on Saturday and it slipped through the cracks so here it is now! Enjoy :)

I'm loving the fact that it's supposed to cover ALL the comic books and MAN...I cannot wait.

[@lordgeneralmilitantdeezy7550]

The thing I think some people miss understand about Scott Pilgrim is that Scott and Ramona are supposed to suck. The whole thing is about them learning to stop running and confront their own toxic behaviors before starting over.

[@Neo_suxxen]

yes quite right. AS the saying goes. Learn to love yourself before you can love others.

[@MrSquare]

for SURE. it's this kinda nerdy-but-toxic personality that I think is super common in certain people in like their late teens/early 20s. In the comics they play into this whole thing WAY more - there's probably more slice-of-life, coming to terms with yourself stuff than there is evil ex battles.

[@CYB3R2K]

​@@Neo_suxxenwhich is bullshit

[@ThatSamoanGuy]

I also think that Knives being dumped helped her to grow up. And now she's matured to the point where she doesn't feel like she needs Scott in a romantic way anymore. Giving closure to their relationship helped her to move on, rather than be that creepy weirdo that stalks his friend group for years.

[@tiffanykim2773]

Fun fact I think they got it.

[@nikhilbogineni3958]

[@Crazyivan777]

Someone pointed out that the reason Scott and anti-Scott didn't fight was because a reverse of Scott would be an empathetic caring person who really wanted to do right by other people. So of course they just talked it out and became friends.

[@SaiyanGamer95]

In the book, Nega-Scott was the physical embodiment of Scott's faults and shortcomings. When he finally accepts that he's not perfect, Scott absorbs Nega-Scott into himself.

[@zitronentee]

@@SaiyanGamer95 IMO, the movie version is more like making peace with his own past and faults

[@milkyym8891]

Yeah and in the game, if you defeat Nega-Scott as Scott, you get a bad ending. The best ending is always Scott accepting him.

[@ObaREX]

For the record, in the comics, Scott knowing how to fight is common knowledge for everyone. They live in a video game world and they all kinda just accept it. He and Ramona do so many crazy things that no one questions. And that's part of the joke.

[@Wogle]

What always makes me chuckle is that despite the joke about Knives being 17, Ellen Wong is actually older than the majority of the cast, including Michael Cera.

[@tylerfoster6267]

The ending where he ends up with Knives is *not* from the comic book. Wright adapted the script largely based on the first three books (which was all that had been published when the script was written), and an outline of what would happen in the other three books provided by Bryan Lee O'Malley. Wright chose to end the movie with Scott and Knives playing the video game again together, but of course it doesn't work for the reasons you cite -- it's regressive, he shouldn't be dating her. In reshoots, they changed it to the ending it has now, which mirrors the ending of the sixth book because by that point the book had been written.

[@Fyre11]

Plus, Scott and Ramona are both terrible people, especially in the books, so Knives was just too good a person to ever deserve ending up with Scott.

[@Renoistic]

I would have HATED it if he ended up with Knives. Seems to just completely miss the point of the story.

[@TomVCunningham]

Knives dodged a bullet.

[@FormaAlert]

Edgar Wright didn't direct Ant-Man. He was supposed to, but left due to creative differences. Peyton Reed (Bring It On, Down With Love) stepped in.

[@nolanrussell6326]

He did write the original version of the script too. So there's definitely still some of his influence in the script

There's something about Michael Cera where if you are in a movie with him, your career is likely to skyrocket. Almost all the cast in Superbad and Scott Pilgrim absolutely flourished (even moreso then they already were) after starring in those movies.

[@dsfddsgh]

Ironic since his career has been in decline over the last few years.

If anyone feels like it I highly recommend the comic books. It has much more time to develop every character and make the coming of age story for Scott more fleshed out. It helped me accept who I am and move forward. Amazing comics!

[@1199kat]

What a great reaction! So glad you watched this, it is one of my favourite movies. Chris, I loved you singing along. The comics are even better, I would recommend them. Everybody gets more character development and we learn more about their backgrounds

[@collinduffield]

The singing along was probably the worst part 😂

[@AuspexAO]

My all time favorite movie. It's such a perfect storm of writing, directing, acting talent, music, and effects. It's incredible on every level. Scott and Ramona are such flawed people, and the supporting cast is just amazing (Wallace and Kim are legendary).

[@sonicboomkj]

So many superheroes in this movie. The second doorman at Gideon's club played Ragman on CW's Arrow. And Ramona plays Huntress in the movie Birds of Prey.

[@myrtle_she_wrote]

Honestly can say I’ve seen this movie over 50x or more. Can’t wait to watch this reaction after work

[@darkelfling65]

A couple of fun facts: Edgar Wright sent the main actors to a martial arts boot camp six months before they started filming. The actress that played Knives is an actual black belt When the Katayanagi Twins turned up the volume, the number in red is 11 (Reference to Spinal Tap) The Universal theme has to be played and since they used the 8 bit in the opening, they used it in the Lucas Lee scene. Note: In the comics, when Roxie is defeated, instead of coins, she bursts into small animals like the Sonic the Hedgehog game.

[@artboymoy]

Brandon Routh was Superman before this. Chris Evans was already Johnny Storm in the Fantastic Four movies before this as well. This movie isn't connected with the Cornetto Trilogy but it is one of my favorite Edgar Wright films. There's the original ending where Scott stays with Knives but late they decided that it was Ramona he was fighting for and so they changed it. If you have the opportunity, the BD has a number of great commentary to listen to.

[@TheZackerex]

The game is super fun, you guys should definitely give it a playthrough!

[@TheKannibalistic]

This was one of my most requested movies for you guys, right alongside *Old* by M. Night Shyamalan. Definitely a pleasant surprise.

[@tonymarshall3978]

I clicked on this so fast. One of my favourite films, a great millennial time capsule and showcase of the early 20's mindset plus its just fun

[@Serryy]

"Scotts vegan" is the best punchline I have seen in a movie. Its so fucking funny.

[@casualpotato44]

Didn't need to spoil the cast Chris. They're already sitting down to watch the movie. No need to entice them. It would have been nice to have them them surpised in their recognition of the actors.

[@Teamrat]

I haven't even watched the reaction yet. When Chris started listing the actors in the movie I started to facepalm. I'm checking the comments to see if Chris is going to continue to have no chill. I'm going to give the reaction 10 minutes but I'll stop if I can't handle Chris.

[@orcasin112]

One of the things that make it great is that feels like you're in on the jokes like you know them. Instant classic.

[@artman2oo3]

[@DanJMW]

I can't explain how, but this movie perfectly captures what it felt like to be in your early-twenties in the early-2000's.

[@thecritic860]

“Is Scott here?” -Scott proceeds to jump/break out a window “You know what, he just left” I die at the scene every time 😂

[@ILikeCHEEZ9]

Saw this movie the summer before highschool on a double date with my cousin, my not cousin, and my third grade crush I reconnected with through my cousin. The date ended up being me and my cousin sitting together while her date, my not cousin, was sitting in the other row and my date couldn't make it. Absolutely perfect setup for seeing this movie about dumb relationships. We laughed at the movie then cracked a ton of jokes about how awful the date was.

[@Awhmanitsdanttv]

1:48 I too saw this by myself in theaters and loved it and then went on to read all the graphic novels and taught myself guitar to learn the Sex Bob Omb songs

[@Yourlocaltntlbystander]

Scott jumping through the window and the black sheep scene will forever be the only two scenes I enjoy

[@garettjames6349]

The movie is suprisingly layered pretty deep. Scott Pilgrim is based on a comic book that takes from the Canadian music scene, especially the indy scene of the 90's. The name Scott Pilgrim is the name of a song by the band plumtree. Kim is based on the drummer from that band. Young Neil is a reversal of Neil Young etc and so forth.

[@literallyaspider1508]

I've always got to appreciate the specific Toronto references in this movie: I even lived right by a couple of the places they filmed when the movie came out, they show Toronto transit, and even the venues they talk about are classic Toronto music hubs.

[@TheSvmurai]

Id love too sit through a read through of the comics with Marketa and Navi! It'd be a great read :)

[@TheOnlyHawkeye666]

This movie was perfectly balanced in every way. Right amount of references but not throwing them into your face, but allowing the fans of the games to find them on their own and not shoving it in your face. My favorite scene is Roxy vs Romana cause it was a bad ass nod to Soul Calibur which is one of my favorite fighter games. Also the soundtrack for this movie is top class, very few others can touch on it in my opinion, every Edgar Wright movie does

[@BratBond1]

This has to be one of your best reactions ever. I love this movie, and seeing you all enjoy it warms my heart. Oh, by the way..... 9:21 Chris, I do the exact same thing when that scene comes up. Awesome!

I've watched so many reactions now to this movie, you guys get it. So many other reactors didn't get the jokes, the lessons, or the tongue and cheek, etc. They were focused on giving their commentary rather than truly watching the movie. You guys did great!

[@joshuabarnett88]

Slight correction. Edgar Wright was the original Ant-Man director but left due to creative control arguments and Peyton Reed took over and directed it. And it's Last Night in Soho, not One night. He's the best director in the game right now and has never once missed.

[@gchild1286]

Chris behaved exactly the same way I would have if I was showing a group of people this movie for the first time. In fact, he may have had more restraint than I would. This movie ( and every actor in it) is F-ing awesome! Also, besides: -Captain America (Chris Evans), -Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) -Superman (Brandon Routh), there’s also: -The Atom(Brandon Routh too) -the voice of Robin (Michael Cera) -*the voice of Wonder Girl (Mae Whitman) -The Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) -The Punisher (Thomas Jane aka Vegan Police)

[@mickeyrube6623]

31:21 Quick fact check: Ant-Man was not directed by Edgar Wright, at least not entirely. He was meant to direct it leading up all the way to shooting, but he left at the last minute. Peyton Reed ultimately directed it.

Easily one of the favorite movies I've seen - that quickly comes to mind - even more now that I learned something I hadn't known.

Always nice to learn something new when you least expect it.

And now we have a video game that really adopted the style of this movie (+ Baby-Driver) in Hi-Fi Rush and it is absolutely amazing There is no actual connection between both but the script has a very similar style and it is an action game where you fight to Rock-Music which at some points sounds VERY CLOSE to Scott Pilgrim.

Little trivia. Apparently Michael Cera is super good at playing base like professional level, all the other actors had to learn their instruments from scratch having never played them and Michael had to actually slow down so they could keep up sometimes.

[@everforward5561]

To be clear, according to the creator no one actually dies in SP. A lot of it is just metaphor for Scott's warped, gameified view of the world. Even the exes just end up back in their homes, having learned their lesson.
