We Watched Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World For The FIRST Time…

[@peytonalexander5300]

It’s actually confirmed canon that in the movie, the exes weren’t killed. They respawned after getting their butts kicked, but they’re all American, so they all respawned down there and it was too much of a nuisance for them to get all the way back to Toronto just to keep fucking with Scott and Ramona. They just lost interest and got on with their lives.

[@pantyosashu8137]

Even Gide-er Gordon?

[@armyantmajor2048]

Fun Fact: Scott's crude drawing of Ramona's hair was actually drawn by Brian Lee O'Malley himself. Similarly, Ramona's flashback drawings were drawn by O'Malley's brother!

[@wMTF2]

Edgar Wright would later use this gag again in Steven Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin.

[@dec3322]

the flashback drawings were actually done by Edgar Wright's brother, Oscar

Nega Scott doesn't actually do anything evil in the comics either, he just exists.

[@bhavanijayant526]

But in the anime they did something like future Scott that was cool

[@eragon400]

Scott's Yeti during the twins battle was supposed to represent his extreme Jealousy. He quite literally summoned a "Green-eyed monster"

[@fruttlicious]

Fun fact: The locations they film is all real locations in Toronto, sadly some got torn down by progress

Something that did not realize about Kieran Culkin. He's one of Brenda Song's 4 brother-in-laws.

[@kerahbundy5705]

Does that mean she's with Macaulay or Rory?

[@Samgreen90]

​@@kerahbundy5705 obviously, the former (Macaulay Culkin). Her husband, Macaulay Culkin has a total of 5 out of 7 siblings. He has a total of four brothers and he _had_ a total three sisters (if you count Jennifer Adamson, his half sister).

[@OverlordNico]

The director originally planned for Scott to end up with Knives, Also the movie came out before the original series was finished, so the film actually influenced key scenes into the final books.

[@adamiel_warning]

actually the movie didn't influenced the comic end, Bryan gives spoiler to production, but not enough to reveal the end, so the comic influenced the movie not otherwhise (even when we just had 5 books when the movie came out)

[@IndieFilmmaker82]

When they were realizing the ending wasn't working, O'Malley had shown Wright the art for the ending of the books and he decided to adapt that ending. The movie did not inspire the books.

[@zebreacts9706]

Man, when this movie came out everyone in my college apartment LOVED it. All of us had our own copy and we had the movie playing non-stop on the tv for weeks.

[@needude7218]

Nega Scott, the opposite of Scott, is a really nice guy Who'da guessed?

[@DevonRucker]

I honestly think this movie is one of the best ever made. It holds up so well because the writing is good, the action is good, and the editing throughout is amazing.

[@mattgarrett2583]

Scott is pretty much the worst person. That's why Nega-Scott, his polar opposite, is actually a really cool dude.

Y'all should play the Scott Pilgrim game together, it's like an old style arcade beat em up, and it's multiplayer. Similar to the X men and TMNT arcade games.

[@princessofmoonxx9653]

Its amazing

[@TheLegoKid2003]

21:00 Ok, this is actually really cool. Since Scott is well versed in how arcade games work, this is actually a pretty clever take on how arcade fighting games worked. The round wouldn't officially start until the game says "FIGHT". Wallace is serving as that announcer for the first few rounds, and then the narrator ends up taking that roll later in the movie.

[@Artaimus]

They filmed Scott staying with Knives at the end but test audiences hated it after all of Scott's effort so it was changed to him going off with Ramona.

[@GalaxiaStars]

It'lll always be wild to me how many people gave the creator of tihs movie shit for how Knives was written as Scott's girlfriend when like 85% of the movie is all of Scott's adult friends dunking on him for dating her. Like come on. You can be unfcomfortable with the age gap but saying the movie was treating it as a good thing is just a blatant lie.

I remember watching this the first time and didn't get the reason why there is a lightbulb above Ramona when Scott was trying to flirt with her. Took me a while before I realise it was to signify that Scott couldn't turn her on.

[@serenshadow89]

The graphic novels were first. They started in 2004. Then the game and movie in 2010. Which is why it has a comic book look. That was its origin. The comic strips you see in the movie is what the graphic novels looked like.

[@brianlucero7656]

Whenever people say fast paced animated fights cant be done in live sctions, i use this movie as an example on how well its done here.

[@wisdomplaysbtd6144]

I love the fact that when we first see Ramona at the party, she’s leaning against a wall, leaning is almost exclusively an American thing, so since she’s from America and living in Canada, she’s the only one that ever leans on anything

[@korganrocks3995]

How is leaning exclusively an American thing? I know Asians and Slavs squat, but the rest of us don't, so what are we supposed to do, stand up straight?

[@3DJapan]

Envy's song, Black Sheep, was performed by the band who wrote it, Metric. However Brie Larson sung it on KZbin equally as well.

[@scurbanis]

Fun fact: Brandon Routh (aka Superman who plays the vegan), Chris Evans (aka Captain America who plays the actor), and Brie Larson (aka Captain Marvel who plays Scott's ex) are all in this movie. Epic multiverrrrse!

[@MercuryReacts]

this movie is what all live-action anime should be, as well as some comic book movies. it'd be awesome to have this director approach Sony about live-action spider-verse movies

[@gerardblandina9844]

In the deleted scenes of the movie, there is the alternate ending of the film, where Knives and Scott get back together. When everything was all said and done and the film was shown to test audiences, they didn't like that ending, so, the ending was re-shot so Ramona and Scott would "try again."

[@brynt.miller]

The reason that Scott is able to throw down, I believe, is because in canon he's the best fighter in Toronto. Or one of the best.

[@livinginstereo]

Black sheep was in the show as well. It was the metric version. In the movie its brie larson singing

[@anettemitchellebejaranovaz4579]

If I remember right, the one that had the weak point in the knees was Envy un the cómic, Scott tells that to Ramona when they fight each other

[@Ev1L0rd]

My favourite detail that I didn't know until my Nth time watching the movie is that during the Amp vs Amp battle, Scott uses a G.E.M pedal to summon the Green Eyed Monster.

[@MagnumMagnus]

I saw this on pay per view when it came out, watched it on repeat for the whole 24hrs. Took me until baby driver to realize I had a favorite director as I didn’t know they where the same guy. (Edgar Wright)

Fun fact: Mae Whitman also played Amity on TOH

This is the 2nd movie I watched that had Kieran Culkin in it... I didn't realize he was Fuller the glasses kid in home alone.

Brie Larson talks like that because she used adult film actresses as inspiration for Envy's voice. The song was indeed in the anime, though only very briefly. The crowd chants it while Envy and Todd are on stage.

I dont know why but the "compliment brothers" at like 40 minutes just killed me 😂 men i love this movie, watching with yall and Eric just being amazed by everything was awesome haha✌️😁

[@dannybob42]

So we now get to the live action movie which the animated show is based off of which was based on a movie never made based off of a manuscript written in the future based off of a memoir based off the events from this movie...based off of most of the graphic novels (since the final one wasn't fully written yet), which was also the source of the game and the prequel animated series not with the full cast (Gideon's actor played Scott) It's a lot of fun, but of course trying to cram 5 and a bit books into one movie does mean a lot got shuffled around or left on the cutting room floor, as a result a lot of Scott's full development and realisation of how shitty a person he was got a bit lost, but it was still fun, with many classic Edgar Wright-isms, including as Boom says the X imagery (but also Os because Scott is Number Zero but could be an Ex) and still with a blockbuster cast - Kieran Culkin stole the show for me though - who loved being on it so much that they reprised their roles for the animated show. But yeah for me it's the books, then the show then the movie, but all high quality.

I actually prefer Brie Larson's version of "Black Sheep" over the official Metric track. She killed the performance. Also respect for Metric posting Brie's vocal version on their own KZbin channel. Also, fun little tidbit: the Katayanagi Twins have their volume marked in Japanese kanji characters, and they turn it up to 十一, which is 11.
