We got a quick scene last week that I wasn't thrilled with, but this trailer sizzles pretty good.

I think if they can make the fights and dynamic action stuff pop better than the movie, they've got something.

But I'm still going to be missing Edgar Wright's talent for comedic timing.

Alright.. the trailer is pretty hype.

Never delved into Scott Pilgrim lore but the movie was alright, this actually looks really fun though.

Honestly the 1st half the movie is pretty faithful to the books. But once they get to the 4th exe, they start to skip stuff and do their own thing especially at the end.

I don't know about the comics, but in the movie he would have been pretty fucked if he stayed with Knives. Her parents didn't like him, and he was about to get kicked out of his apartment. He would have been homeless.

Fun fact: There was an alternative ending where Scott Pilgrim ends up with Knives in the movie. They were bouncing between the 2 before they decided to go with Ramona at the end

Movie spoilers I guess?

They had to, because the end of the series hadn't been written, yet, at the time of the movie plot being finalized.

Yeah, the writer had provided them a basic outline, and they worked off of that, for the movie.

To be fair, he barely did any writing for the original movie. He directed it, but he is apparently also rather hands on with this, too. How much impact he actually had on the movie itself, outside of the casting, doesn't seem like much, and he was the one that lead the charge for getting the movie cast back for this, as well, so it sounds like he did his part.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

The characters being assholes is kind of the point. But I could see you walking away from the movie feeling like they're unlikable. For me, even though I acknowledge that Scott is not a good person, I enjoyed the story and all of the references.

The movie is actually pretty nice, regarding Knives. In the comic/manga, she straight up purposely uses somebody to try to get back at Scott, among other things.

I think "None of these characters are blatantly likeable" is kinda the point.

Scott was an asshole, as was Ramona. The two deserved each other. Knives can do better.

Knives pretty blatantly uses Young Neil to get back at Scott. They're all pretty awful.

One could argue it was justified, but then that would be excusing the seven evil exes behavior.

Precisely.

The takeaway is that none of them are great people.

I mean, this is literally my point? Nobody is sitting here going "So and so is terrible and should die!"

"Not great" isn't an insult. It's just another way of saying "flawed." No one character is meant to be a paradigm of goodness/innocence, is the point.

Lets be honest Young Neil peaked while he was being used. He didnt mind it.

Him not minding it doesn't make it okay, though. If anything, it kinda makes it worse, since it was the "best" thing he had experienced, at that point, and thus could clearly dictate where he went, as a person. He was into Knives, despite knowing she was using him, and she basically didn't really care that he existed beyond what she was using him for.
