Part of the point is that Scott and Ramona are both toxic. Ramona cheats on and runs away from and mistreats her exes, Scott cheats on his gfs and is a lousy partner and friend and possibly pedo as well as an all round cunt. The other characters are just normal people with regular flaws, but Scott and Ramona are both toxic and deserve each other.

And hopefully learn the right lessons from said mistakes and not repeat them.

i think my favorite part of the scott pilgrim comic and basically my favorite part in any comic i've read so far has to be the paneling during the first call with Envy. MAN! The brilliant use of small panels to not only emphasize just how claustrophobic Scott feels at that particular moment, but it also breaks the fourth wall and subconsciously influences YOU the reader due to the fact that our eyes subconsciously read small and narrow panels very quickly because they are meant to represent a small moment in time. so the ultimate effect is a reading experience that feels tense and disorienting for all parties involved. bro, that was gold.

Finally a refreshing take on Scott Pilgrim media that doesn't focus on the negative of it. Good stuff.

It has been quite the crash course in that department but glad you noticed :)

Scott Pilgrim has similarly been in my life since I was young. My dad showed me the movie when I was 11 and borrowed the comics from the library for me to read. I read it again at 15 and reread recently in December I believe? Now as an 18 year old. It’s so fascinating how this series has changed for me over time, as my perception of the characters and the world is informed by my own life experience. Rereading it recently, I felt it was the first time I ever felt like I saw my fears around emotional vulnerability outside of myself. It’s an alienating thing to be scared of the world, love, and your own feelings, but Bryan so beautifully humanises his characters that it felt like having a friend right there who understood me. It’s seriously such a special story-and it really reminds us to be kind to ourselves and the people around us as we grow and evolve with our changing selves and world.

I don't think I could put into words how much I loved this video. Like, holy shit. I hope you're proud of this one. This really helped me understand Scott Pilgrim as a character and as the goddamn work of art the series is. Damn.

Wow, that's deep. I was really exited to see the anime adaptation of Scott Pilgrim and how it's different from the movie and comic. Now I'm even more eager to read the last one! Becoming older means your obsession over a silly nerd guy turns to understanding the exs and how he isn't actually the best guy in the world (both as a friend and as a partner). Regardless, he is still relatable, because you struggle with being adult yourself.

Incredible video! I love Scott Pilgrim! The comic, the movie , and most recently the anime.

Great video dude. I was having the same thoughts the last time I read the books, especially about how Scott can’t change because he forgets, and Ramona can’t change because she runs. The whole series focuses on change and them trying to be better, and takes until the last few pages before they both decide to make the real meaningful changes so they can try again.

Couldn't agree more

I literally saw one of these books in my schools library a few years ago and fell in love with it and when the new show came out I was happy to see it and how this guy explained how exs were I was like "holy shit they kinda are" because I realized that that's how my relationship before mines now was and now I'm forgot and forgave even though I said hurtful stuff and she even hurt me more but still I'm not upset at all it's weird because yeah they are a stranger now and honestly they did try to come back but I didn't eat them and for anyone who does see this I'm sorry I just rambled but I just love how this guy has explained one of my favorites series and how he even explained how exs could be and make you feel

I really appreciated this video and some other Scott Pilgrim videos - I can totally relate to where I am in my part in of my life and coming to terms with who I am and the choices and mistakes I've made in the past. And most importantly, facing who I am as a person and accepting that. Keep up the good work! Also side note - who did the Launchpad McQuack song at the end? It sounds a lot like Placebo but can't pinpoint it down.

I love how the anime creates a dark reflection of scott. when ramona said that scott is just another evil ex waiting to happen, the anime took that literally. A version of scott pilgrim (future scott) ended up being the most evil and powerful of ramona's exes to the point that he was willing to kill everyone related to scott, and soloed all 7 exes at once and then some. future scott is what would have happened if scott and ramona would never have overcome and acknowledged their flaws. this is why I love that future scott was the villain all along. it shows a possible path of scott and how he could have potentially become worse than every evil ex combined, and it even makes sense.

@mugenbop

I think that is one thing that can be missed with the evil scott in the comics if you never read it, the movie brushes upon it and the show lets people know how much Scott like all people can go down the same path and reject the past. Just like how even older scott wants to destroy it or stop it from even happening. :)

I agree with everything you said here and I'll add this: Almost every single person I've ever heard call Scott Pilgrim "an asshole" was almost entirely projecting. How can you imply an idiot in their 20s is such an awful person when it's clear that 1) he never meant to do bad things to others and 2) the whole point of his character arc is to grow up and mature. I can't stand the perpetually-online Twitter crowd who like to use Scott Pilgrim as an excuse to project their own insecurities and flaws onto others, cause it shows they fundamentally do not get Scott Pilgrim vs The World.

Scott Pilgrim himself though...is literally men and well done. Actually well done, but also done from a perspective of being that guy in the movie, and trying to unpack what it feels like to be on the other end of him in the anime- and in my opinion not doing that great on either thing in terms of finishing the arc. The problem with his stories is he still after growth and whatever. Earns the girl. And this anime done 100% right for me would have ended in him realizing he has to change to get something nebulous in a future he can't see... and let Ramona go. Ramona needs to figure her crap out with a new guy too after asking herself what makes her run. I think my problem with this show is... Scott is a guy I ran from and was right to do so with back in my college days. He is needy he validates himself with his relationships and I just really want to see this guy figure himself out after losing Ramona forever, and having to accept it. And be better with no visible reward in front of him. The biggest being in your 20s reality of this would have been the mess ending and then characters still growing from it separately.

Thank you. Ya made me fully understand fully what Scott Pilgrim is about, I have been struggling for awhile to articulate my thoughts on how I feel about the series as I finished it and... All it took realizing that I am Scott Pilgrim, in the fool part not in relationships because I don't think I will ever have a partner. (._. )

this title really hits home. I feel like specially, even compared to other watchers/readers, i relate to scott on most every detail. his situation with knives i had (minus the terrible age gap though she is a couple years younger), his situation with kim when he was moving i had, and even scotts feelings with ramona and how she influences his lifestyle (especially after leaving him), it all just hits too close to home. i carry the same traits as him, same coping mechanisms, same revisiting of video games, genuinly everything. Hell, his actor looks like a whiter me. that is to say, i think this video in specifically brought something out in my to spark genuine thought and put my own life into perspective. its like- because scott and I are so similar, the video was essentially speaking to me specifically. Im not afraid to say this video is probably going to make me think a whole lot- and probably try to change toxic traits of mine. very cool video, very cool title.
