i honestly love how scott is more awkward in the movie than he is in the comics. it reminds me of those guys who think they can do no harm because they're just awkward geeks, while they're actually self-centred assholes.
@@CazuhLynn Agreed. Kieran Culkin was amazing. He brought a distinct personality/humor to the screen character in a way that felt completely natural AND he didn't use any stereotypical "gay" affectations for laughs (a common practice at the time... and while still used today it's _nothing_ like before...). I didn't expect Wallace would become my favorite character, but... yeah. Wallace is awesome.
That's because he's played by Michael Cera in the movie. Any character played by him immediately becomes like 3 times more awkward. Michael Cera plays Michael Cera, not Scott Pilgrim, which sucks since Scott is such a relatable and interesting character - I read the first book and literally said to myself "this guy is basically me, but more successful with women."
Like, it's almost like Edgar used the comics as a storyboard, it really is one of THE BEST comic adaptations, mostly based on how close to the source material it is, but also it adapts some stuff, trims others, and changes here and there to fit the film medium.
There was heavy absence for most of volume 4-6, like Scott getting a job, or Ramona disappearing, and Envy coming back with Gideon at the end of the series.
It really wasn’t. Don’t get me wrong it’s not a bad movie but to call it one of the best is a huge overstatement. A lot of backstory towards characters like Kim, Stills, Natalie(Envy), Knives and even the growth of characters like Scott and Ramona is ruined in this movie. Which isn’t the movies fault to an extent, they had to squeeze as much. They had to sacrifice a lot of character development, Scott doesn’t really grow in the movie. Comic Scott, gets a job, has a chance to cheat with Lisa but backs out, has closure with his previous 3 exes, spends months apart from Ramona in volume 6. Fights Gideon the first time without Ramona being there. He also confronts Nega Scott to finally accept his past mistakes and baggage. Ramona remains the quiet, stoic sarcastic girl she starts off as in book 1 in the movie. Comic Ramona, opens up to Scott and his friends, shows a insecure side of her with Lisa, gives a reason as to why her hair color changes and why she’s constantly changing her look. The treatment she inflicted on most of her exes (besides kinda Todd and Gideon) being put to light, showing her hypocritical side when the Twins call her out towards Scott of cheating and being no better than the evil exes. I like the movie but it’s far from perfect, if it gets made into a animated mini series then they’d be able to include everything the movie left out.
Joshua Foley yes, it’s not as good as the comics. The fact that everyone knows the movie and skips out on the comics is disappointing. Especially since Scott and Ramona barely grow as people in the movie. Characters like Stills, Wallace and Kim barely have roles. Wallace being Scott’s pep talk instead of Scott confronting Nega Scott.
For the first third of the movie, then yeah, it is unbelievably accurate, almost a back-to-back adaptation. The rest of the movie gets so derailed and rushed that it even gets difficult to make connections to the comic.
Izaak Myers yeah they kinda botch the parts in the second and third half about the troubles in the relationship, I hated how they botched Scott’s like redemption
I think an animated series would be better tbh, the movie is amazing but they had to cram the plot into it in a way that cut out like half of said plot. If they did another adaptation I'd prefer if they didn't fall into the same hole a 2nd time
It's a comic from the 00s about a bunch of people in their early 20s trying to get their lives together, except it's -actually- a video game styled story about a 23 year old having to defeat his new girlfriend's seven evil exes. It got a film adaptation in 2010 that's incredibly stylish and definitely worth the watch, but it compresses a LOT of detail from the comic. Unfortunately, that means that Scott doesn't get as much character development as he needs, and the rest of the cast get even less than that.
michael cera made scott a bit more awkward bc scott was way more cocky in the comics but it's not that bad imo. what i found terrible tho was mary elizabeth winstead bc she played ramona as if she was a super depressed, apathetic girl. comic ramona has her moments. she was mysterious, yes. but she had a bubblier side.
청춘 The reason Movie Ramona is so much colder than Book Ramona is because the original ending of the movie featured Scott picking Knives over her; making her apathetic made it easier for the audience to agree with Scott's choice. Totally agreed though, I love Book Ramona, especially in comparison to Movie Ramona.
The reason why the film's original ending was different than the comics were because the film finished production by the time the 5th novel was released, so the Edgar Wright and the crew didn't know how the comics would've ended. After the final book was released, they reshot the ending to match the book. A lot of the differences with the two can be stemmed from the fact that they were being made at the same time as each other.
Well, it's kinda hard to find a girl with pretty hair with the challenge of fighting a league of evil exes to win her over. Though that would be totally kick ass.
@@Sofuretu Most of the movie takes place in Scott's mind. He simply percieves stuff a certain way that is not necessarily real. Scott isn't perfectly sane(shows some traits of Asperger), mind you...
I've been reading the comic and it's interesting how some lines and events are all jumbled around, and still coherent. It makes it different from the book enough. Like the whole "if your life had a face I would punch it" comes from the third book (around when he's fighting the vegan)
That's why I love the film so much, even though it's quite different from the comics, they manage to fit the _essence_ of Scott Pilgrim into 2 hours. I think it turned out way better than trying to squeeze every little plot point into three long, drawn out films with lore like The Hobbit or some shit.
I appreciate that the wardrobe department actually got everyone in the same clothes as in the comic. Like, it would be so easy to just have them in generic t-shirts or whatever, but the shirts Scott and Neil were wearing matched what their comic counterparts had on.
@@colombo-lc6gv he realises that he's gay, or should I say that he's bi. I bet that they had sex canonnically with Julie, so he can't be 100% gay, he needs to be somewhere inbetween.
there's a similar joke that works a lot better in the non colored version of the comic, where ramona shows up with a new haircut and scott asks if it's her natural hair color, and she says "no. yes? maybe? i don't know"
I think I'll always prefer the movie just because of how funny it is to watch real humans acting like video game characters and singing. Also Scott's voice when he says "sweet! coins!"
@@Pavlinka__ idk what prepubescent 23 year olds youve met but I'm 20 and CANNOT pass as a 15 year old. people think im 30 and its kind of disheartening lmao.
The English Mentlegen why would a Netflix series be worse than the film? The film was great, but as films go, you know, being tops 2 and a half hours it has to cramp up a lot of shit. Most things that made me love the comics weren't even in the movie, and that's understandable, because it's a movie. But a TV show with at least six episodes could touch on a lot of stuff the movie didn't. So why would a Netflix show be worse in your opinion? I'm curious.
Well, Edgar Wright is extremely good at using visual comedy in Scott Pilgrim, and as a result it has become a cult classic of sorts. Its pretty unique as films go too, which makes me enjoy it a lot more. Netflix originals really haven't been consistent in terms of quality, I mean, sometime they are great like house of cards and stranger things, but they also have a lot of awful shit that gets cancelled after the first episode. As well as this, it is unlikely that Netflix would care enough about such a small franchise to give scott pilgrim as large of a budget as the film.
Search "Make your transitions count" Its one of many video essays on the many unique things that the film does, they are usually things you miss on the first viewing, but they give the film a lot of character.
It’s a shame these stylized comic adaptation films didn’t catch on, I love this style in a world where everything is so dark and “ realistic “ Like this, kick ass, speed racer, Zombieland ( while not an adaptation of anything it had that stylized look I enjoy) I think the only film doing a more stylized look of color over darkness are the Deadpool films, Thor Ragnarok did an amazing job with that style too, and let’s not forget the guardians of the galaxy, though it does leaving me wanting so much more
I think wonder woman 1984 maybe one of these. Dr Strange movies are all magic and Sam Raimi is making Multiverse of Madness so it means it has to be colorful crazy shit
Not really superhero movies or whatever, but if you like this stylized kind of stuff, then I reccomend hot fuzz and baby driver. Edgar Wright is a master at this kind of stuff.
Taika waititi (from thor Ragnarok) to me really has brought that "indie stylized" vibe into popular mainstream. Every movie I have seen from him is ridiculous and bright yet grounded and dark, and we love that from him honestly lol
Making Ramona the exact opposite of Comic Ramona was a nice touch. She was so happy and open in the comics but serious and mysterious in the movie. Some people don’t like the difference but I think its great.
My gosh. It’s insane to me that most of the movie cast are the same people who played the same characters in the anime. That’s dedication anyone can respect
Got to appreciate how they were able to bring back most if not all the actors from the film, even though it’s been 13 years and many of the names have gotten big since.
In my opinion the movie sucked, but everyone I know whose seen the movie that liked it never read the comics. The one to one recreation is so boring and everything they changed was for the worse IMO
I wouldn't say every way. I think some things the movie did are way better (action scenes in the comics brought to life come across better in motion than in drawings, and some of the encounters with the exes are done better in the movie, like instead of Scott mentioning a deus ex machina he actually tricks Todd into breaking his veganism, the rock and roll kaiju fight with the twins, etc.)
@@birchtree6975 I made sure to avoid that by reading the comics and then watching the movie. This can sometimes benefit you but also detract, for example I decided to read about half the How to Train Your Dragon books before seeing the movie back when it was coming out 10 years ago and ended up disliking the movie as a result. Personally I think the 1:1 recreations of the comic panels and the references to it are great because they showed a great level of respect and passion for the source material, even down to recreating characters' costumes for each scene where appropriate and mostly casting actors who look about as close to the artstyle of the books as you can get. You don't really get that level of attention to detail in many adaptations, I think. And while not every change works there's some alterations that are handled pretty well. Seeing some of the panels in motion also made them a lot funnier and more entertaining than just the pictures were (which were already pretty funny at times) and the fact that a majority of the dialogue is ripped straight from the comic and still feels like it fits into the movie fine is nice. But I definitely get not liking the movie. I personally thought it was hilarious when I first watched it a couple weeks ago, loved the visuals, and thought the action was great, and it's honestly to the point that I'm thinking of watching it over again pretty soon due to just how much I love revisiting clips of it on YT and how much it blew me away visually, (something I honestly have never done with any other movie, even some I consider my all time favorites) but I will admit I was letdown in many areas. Like the time frame for the movie versus the books and just how much more shallow it ends up feeling due to this, and the omission of several characters and subplots due to time. Most of the female cast especially felt underused and underdeveloped in the film versus the books. But as is, I think it's probably one of the best comic book adaptations ever made in my opinion, up there with the 1990 TMNT movie.
i think it was so people in the audience would think that his relationship with knives didn’t had such an age gap?? wasn’t knives 17? i mean maybe a 22 year old with a 17 year old is not as weird as 17 with 23 i guess
oh my god im so stupid... im so used to reading manga that i've read the entire comic part backwards and was wondering why they did the movie like that
*REMEMBER* The movie was written after the first book, there are very little similarities after VOL 2 for that reason. After that the books are slightly working off the movie so you may see a few similar scenes in the book for that reason
@@CardGamesRule. O'Malley's publisher reached out for movie to be made after Vol.1, they got Edgar Wright and Michael Bacall to start writing it in 2005. Movie wasn't filmed until 2009, by then the series was at 5 volumes, I don't know if they influenced the script as they came out though kind of like Harry Potter
@@Mythikal13 Turns out the movie actually changed the ending of the books. Scott was originally supposed to end up with Knives. I like the Ramona ending better, but also like the comics better than the movie. The casting was great in a lot of regards, but Mary took Ramona in a weird direction, and Michael basically played himself and didn't represent Scott well tbh. Also, not sure if it was archived online anywhere and don't remember what year it was, but ages ago before the movie came out, I got a Free Comic Book Day exclusive Scott Pilgrim comic!
@@SilverSphereSorcerer I gotta see that free comic book day comic. I like the Romana ending better too, I understand how it kind of toxic they end up together and some people wanted Knives. I think the actors played the characters well, idk to me Romana in the movies is just the girl that won't leave your mind kind of like how she won't leave Scott's and I think that's perfect. Maybe I'm just hella attracted to Mary but I know I not alone in that lol. Michael Cera is the perfect scott pilgrim in my eyes too. I honestly can't think of another actor who fits the comic mold, he's a little more confident in the comics and less anxious and like lowkey badass? but I kind of like the extreme anxiety of Scott in the movies and the way he was played, plus Michael Cera is Canadian like Scott unlike most of the people in the movie and that's a win in my books lol
Thanks! I've thought about making more, problem is is that after this point in the movie, it starts lining up with the comic less and less. That being said, that doesn't mean it would be impossible for me to make more. I'm glad that you like it!
Hooper J. Cooper You're welcome! We need more heroes like you. :) Nobody is doing it, except for _this_ video (sound from the movie, not music playing like another video) which sucks because I honestly love Scott Pilgrim VS. the World and want to see more 'comparisons'. It's totally fine if you can't line up the movie with the comic, as it makes sense that the movie and comics are slightly different. It's a retelling. But if in any point you consider doing it again, I'll be here waiting. :P You got yourself a subscriber.
Even though, they added some lines here and there, the scenes literally feel like a shot-for-shot adaption of everything in the comic. It's like an anime getting everything in the manga right without adding excessive fillers and random characters that weren't in the manga from day 1.
Fun fact: The director told the actors to try not to blink to make it look more like a comic- there's only a few times in the movie that you can catch someone blinking!
I think graphic novels make for some of the most interesting film adaptations because the visuals are already there. It’s a matter of what the director makes of them, so there will always be the visual equivalent. Persepolis, for example, keeps the visual style, shortens many plot elements, and also gives certain characters more development and visual uniqueness. I consider it and the comic it’s based on to be of equal value, because each does something the other doesn’t while respecting the style of story being told.
I read volume one of the Color Collection for the first time last week. I’ve only watched the movie twice, but I was shocked to realize-the wrong way ‘round-that it’s probably the most comics-accurate movie ever. I love that they filmed at the real-world locations O’Malley used for his artwork!
The fucking comedic comic series about a 23 year old dude dating a 17 and another 23 year old girl has better fight scenes than any page of the demon slayer manga can ever fucking have
It's weird how Scott in the movie os like "im silly and clumsy" and from nowhere "BAM! BEST FIGHTER IN THE TOWN" It's kinda weird, it doesn't seems right with the movie character.
I was in class once and over some kid's shoulder i saw the page where he's in the desert. I never saw the title. A few months later I watched this movie and got to that scene and I instantly remembered the one page I saw. That's a good adaptation.
I always found it interesting how Scott in the comics seems way more assertive and confident, and I think thats solely in the way he’s drawn. Meanwhile, Michael Cera’s performance makes him seem more naive. Whats cool is that both of those personalities, no matter what, feeds into Scott being an asshole. Great work from Edgar Wright and Michael Cera on that front;
Scott's character in the film was incredibely different from the comic, but it wasn't a negative. I really liked the take the movie had on Scott. I just wish there could be an animated version of the Scott Pilgrim comic with the early Vol. 1 art style.
Was 12 years old when I first saw this movie and I thought it was amazing, about to be 22 and it still rocks. Took a small look at the actual comic and I'm surprised that they managed to adapt it this well.
It’s always been a theory to me that Scott was never physically fighting anyone, but rather fighting Ramona’s insecurities and baggage from past relationships. Hence the fact she never really talks about her exes until a fight happens. Which also kinda explains why they “respawn” bc insecurities naturally comeback and anybody with a gf knows she needs validation
Not to mention that some of the fighting is clearly taking place in Scott’s mind considering that no one else sees most of the things that he does. I think it was even stated that all the video game references towards fighting scenes in general are meant to just be Scott’s take on the world and not necessarily what’s actually happening.
@@cyclops8238 yeah it was confirmed that the video game references and fights were all just Scott’s perspective on how he understands himself and the world around him. Which also played a part in my theory because he was never actually doing those things but probably rather dealing with Ramona’s baggage like a normal couple: 🌈communicaaaation🌈
@@HexAddams I think that is the symbolism, but I would rather believe that all the fights are real because them being inside Scott's head the whole time would make it less fun
As much as I love this movie, I can't help but feel it pales in comparison to the comic, mainly due to Michael Cera playing Scott as way more of an awkward loser than I feel he was in the comic - I mean he was still a loser, but he had this sort of snarky, sarcastic charm to him, and was more of a loser/slacker prick than the awkward geeky guy that Michael Cera plays. It's not a BAD performance at all, but compared to the Scott Pilgrim in the comic, who just has this sarcastic wit and almost pride in being a loser, I feel the movie doesn't give as great a character. Plus, Ramona Flowers is played to be emo, which isn't her character at all in the comics (in fact, since I saw the movie before reading the comic, I was super thrown off by how she was in the comics; more of a laid back skater chick whose more nonchalant and chill than emo or deadpan).
REMEMBER The movie was written after the first book, there are very little similarities after VOL 2 for that reason. After that the books are slightly working off the movie so you may see a few similar scenes in the book for that reason
Never seen this movie(or read the comic) but damn I love the art style in the comics. It’s just the right spot between cartoony and consistent, simple and complex, and the video game motif is really good.
2:47 Wallace: It’s Not Race Guys! Crash: Alright, THIS SONG IS FOR THE GUY WHO KEEPS YELLING FROM THE BALCONY, IT'S CALLED "WE HATE YOU, PLEASE DIE." Wallace: Sweet! Love This One.
Notice in the fight scene between Mathew Patel and Scott Pilgrim in both the movie and comic, Scott is wearing a Plumtrees shirt. Plumtrees made a song titled Scott Pilgrim, that Bryan Lee O'Malley listed as part of the inspiration for Scott Pilgrim, as well as many other songs and mangas.
I always thought Ramona and Kumatora looked similar lol. Ramona in book 2 looks especially like Kumatora. Although Ramona came into existence before Kumatora so it’s Kuma who looks like Rammy.
I really wish they kept “The glow” when they made the movie, it would’ve made the fight with Gideon a lot more intense. I also wish they kept subspace, but honestly the movie is really good. Mary Elizabeth Winstead played Ramona so well, and for some reason Micheal Cera just fits Scott perfectly, like you can even hear Micheal Cera’s voice when you reread the novels it’s kind of scary, but yeah! I love Scott pilgrim books and movie and all, I’m pretty excited about the Series theyre planning on making.
One thing to note about this comparison is that it glossed over this important detail: In the movie Scott tosses something at Matt, thereby taking him out himself. In the comics they make the power of friendship power pose, which IMO is one of the few faux pas the movie fixes. Afterall, Scott is oblivious to how dysfunctional his little circle is, and the comic actually kind of misdirects from that story detail by making them all have a "power of friendship" ability that they took out in the movie in favor of Scott doing it himself.
i think i read once that the team was fine with mary elizabeth winstead reading their names from a sheet of paper but she ended up memorising and reciting them anyway
I don't know if the coins they drop come from, but it's funny to imagine they lose whatever's currently in their bank account and they're defeated physically and financially.
This is one of my favorite movies. My older brother gave me the dvd when I was like 14 and I still have it. we don’t talk anymore but it reminds me of the good ol’ days when he’d smoke a joint and I’ll watch movies with him.

That's why I love the film so much, even though it's quite different from the comics, they manage to fit the _essence_ of Scott Pilgrim into 2 hours. I think it turned out way better than trying to squeeze every little plot point into three long, drawn out films with lore like The Hobbit or some shit.
1:48 the part where she names all the tea is oddly satisfying
I appreciate that the wardrobe department actually got everyone in the same clothes as in the comic. Like, it would be so easy to just have them in generic t-shirts or whatever, but the shirts Scott and Neil were wearing matched what their comic counterparts had on.
gotta love wallace the comic one and the one in the film :D

Yes
jetseekers yup

there's a similar joke that works a lot better in the non colored version of the comic, where ramona shows up with a new haircut and scott asks if it's her natural hair color, and she says "no. yes? maybe? i don't know"
@@greamgreamgream its like in quintessential quintuplets where all the jokes of the sisters being identical works better in black and white

If I were Scott's friends I would be very skeptical of a girl named "Knives Chau" actually existing lmao
I think I'll always prefer the movie just because of how funny it is to watch real humans acting like video game characters and singing. Also Scott's voice when he says "sweet! coins!"
Scott is 23 in the comics yet looks like a 15 year old.

why couldn't they just make a complete animated or better yet, a Netflix series out of this.... T.T
there is an animated one, and i think a netflix series probably would have been worse than the film, which is amazing
The English Mentlegen why would a Netflix series be worse than the film? The film was great, but as films go, you know, being tops 2 and a half hours it has to cramp up a lot of shit. Most things that made me love the comics weren't even in the movie, and that's understandable, because it's a movie. But a TV show with at least six episodes could touch on a lot of stuff the movie didn't. So why would a Netflix show be worse in your opinion? I'm curious.
Well, Edgar Wright is extremely good at using visual comedy in Scott Pilgrim, and as a result it has become a cult classic of sorts. Its pretty unique as films go too, which makes me enjoy it a lot more. Netflix originals really haven't been consistent in terms of quality, I mean, sometime they are great like house of cards and stranger things, but they also have a lot of awful shit that gets cancelled after the first episode. As well as this, it is unlikely that Netflix would care enough about such a small franchise to give scott pilgrim as large of a budget as the film.
Search "Make your transitions count" Its one of many video essays on the many unique things that the film does, they are usually things you miss on the first viewing, but they give the film a lot of character.
agreed, that video really opened my eyes to how great the editing made this movie
this movie is sucha love letter
One of the most accurate comic book movies ever
Bro not all. Scott is so awkward here and Ramona is a depressed chick.
It’s a shame these stylized comic adaptation films didn’t catch on, I love this style in a world where everything is so dark and “ realistic “
Like this, kick ass, speed racer, Zombieland ( while not an adaptation of anything it had that stylized look I enjoy)
I think the only film doing a more stylized look of color over darkness are the Deadpool films, Thor Ragnarok did an amazing job with that style too, and let’s not forget the guardians of the galaxy, though it does leaving me wanting so much more
I think wonder woman 1984 maybe one of these. Dr Strange movies are all magic and Sam Raimi is making Multiverse of Madness so it means it has to be colorful crazy shit
Kick-ass was my favorite
Not really superhero movies or whatever, but if you like this stylized kind of stuff, then I reccomend hot fuzz and baby driver. Edgar Wright is a master at this kind of stuff.
Fresh Dark Dreams yeah I agree or even Shaun of the Dead
Taika waititi (from thor Ragnarok) to me really has brought that "indie stylized" vibe into popular mainstream. Every movie I have seen from him is ridiculous and bright yet grounded and dark, and we love that from him honestly lol
Making Ramona the exact opposite of Comic Ramona was a nice touch. She was so happy and open in the comics but serious and mysterious in the movie. Some people don’t like the difference but I think its great.
Knives was happy and open
My gosh. It’s insane to me that most of the movie cast are the same people who played the same characters in the anime. That’s dedication anyone can respect
Got to appreciate how they were able to bring back most if not all the actors from the film, even though it’s been 13 years and many of the names have gotten big since.
It’s weird, I think the comics are totally superior in every way. But the film did introduce me to the comics so I should thank it for that.
In my opinion the movie sucked, but everyone I know whose seen the movie that liked it never read the comics. The one to one recreation is so boring and everything they changed was for the worse IMO
The scene transitions are cool though.
Liked the music.
I wouldn't say every way. I think some things the movie did are way better (action scenes in the comics brought to life come across better in motion than in drawings, and some of the encounters with the exes are done better in the movie, like instead of Scott mentioning a deus ex machina he actually tricks Todd into breaking his veganism, the rock and roll kaiju fight with the twins, etc.)
@@birchtree6975 I made sure to avoid that by reading the comics and then watching the movie. This can sometimes benefit you but also detract, for example I decided to read about half the How to Train Your Dragon books before seeing the movie back when it was coming out 10 years ago and ended up disliking the movie as a result.
Personally I think the 1:1 recreations of the comic panels and the references to it are great because they showed a great level of respect and passion for the source material, even down to recreating characters' costumes for each scene where appropriate and mostly casting actors who look about as close to the artstyle of the books as you can get. You don't really get that level of attention to detail in many adaptations, I think. And while not every change works there's some alterations that are handled pretty well. Seeing some of the panels in motion also made them a lot funnier and more entertaining than just the pictures were (which were already pretty funny at times) and the fact that a majority of the dialogue is ripped straight from the comic and still feels like it fits into the movie fine is nice.
But I definitely get not liking the movie. I personally thought it was hilarious when I first watched it a couple weeks ago, loved the visuals, and thought the action was great, and it's honestly to the point that I'm thinking of watching it over again pretty soon due to just how much I love revisiting clips of it on YT and how much it blew me away visually, (something I honestly have never done with any other movie, even some I consider my all time favorites) but I will admit I was letdown in many areas. Like the time frame for the movie versus the books and just how much more shallow it ends up feeling due to this, and the omission of several characters and subplots due to time. Most of the female cast especially felt underused and underdeveloped in the film versus the books.
But as is, I think it's probably one of the best comic book adaptations ever made in my opinion, up there with the 1990 TMNT movie.
Movie: "I'm 22."
Comic: "I'm 23!"
I mean, this is a huge nitpick but it's odd they made him a year younger here.
Michael Cera was 22 years old when he filmed the movie
@@cioperduartebareiro Huh. Interesting, but still weird.
i think it was so people in the audience would think that his relationship with knives didn’t had such an age gap?? wasn’t knives 17? i mean maybe a 22 year old with a 17 year old is not as weird as 17 with 23 i guess
It's another *Dumbledore said calmly* moments.
@@toxicdemon1315 Dumbledore said calmly...meanwhile in the movie:
"HARRYDIDYOUPUTYOURNAMEINTHEGOBLETOFFIRE"
oh my god im so stupid... im so used to reading manga that i've read the entire comic part backwards and was wondering why they did the movie like that
ahahaha omfg man
my dumbass reads mangas from left to right and comics from right to left '-'
Volume 4 literally has an explanation in the back how you're supposed to read it haha
*REMEMBER* The movie was written after the first book, there are very little similarities after VOL 2 for that reason. After that the books are slightly working off the movie so you may see a few similar scenes in the book for that reason
Damn really? I never knew that the one time people can’t be mad the movie doesn’t follow the book completely
@@CardGamesRule. O'Malley's publisher reached out for movie to be made after Vol.1, they got Edgar Wright and Michael Bacall to start writing it in 2005. Movie wasn't filmed until 2009, by then the series was at 5 volumes, I don't know if they influenced the script as they came out though kind of like Harry Potter
@@Mythikal13 Turns out the movie actually changed the ending of the books. Scott was originally supposed to end up with Knives. I like the Ramona ending better, but also like the comics better than the movie. The casting was great in a lot of regards, but Mary took Ramona in a weird direction, and Michael basically played himself and didn't represent Scott well tbh.
Also, not sure if it was archived online anywhere and don't remember what year it was, but ages ago before the movie came out, I got a Free Comic Book Day exclusive Scott Pilgrim comic!
@@SilverSphereSorcerer I gotta see that free comic book day comic. I like the Romana ending better too, I understand how it kind of toxic they end up together and some people wanted Knives. I think the actors played the characters well, idk to me Romana in the movies is just the girl that won't leave your mind kind of like how she won't leave Scott's and I think that's perfect. Maybe I'm just hella attracted to Mary but I know I not alone in that lol. Michael Cera is the perfect scott pilgrim in my eyes too. I honestly can't think of another actor who fits the comic mold, he's a little more confident in the comics and less anxious and like lowkey badass? but I kind of like the extreme anxiety of Scott in the movies and the way he was played, plus Michael Cera is Canadian like Scott unlike most of the people in the movie and that's a win in my books lol
@@Mythikal13 Upon further research, it seems the FCBD comic made it into the colorized hardcover rereleases!

I need more of this in my life.
Even though I'm sure it probably took you a long time to make this video... PLEASE MAKE MORE. :D
Thanks! I've thought about making more, problem is is that after this point in the movie, it starts lining up with the comic less and less. That being said, that doesn't mean it would be impossible for me to make more. I'm glad that you like it!
Hooper J. Cooper You're welcome! We need more heroes like you. :)
Nobody is doing it, except for _this_ video (sound from the movie, not music playing like another video) which sucks because I honestly love Scott Pilgrim VS. the World and want to see more 'comparisons'.
It's totally fine if you can't line up the movie with the comic, as it makes sense that the movie and comics are slightly different. It's a retelling. But if in any point you consider doing it again, I'll be here waiting. :P
You got yourself a subscriber.
5:00 I like how they took this line and went “But what if he was singing?”
5:02 Anna Kendrick, the star of Pitch Perfect, cringed at someone who just sang randomly out of nowhere
Really hope Matthew Patel's song here is kept in the anime
@@Kromiballsorry, it’s not..
2:55 I will never get over how they changed this line THE COMIC SCENE IS WAY FUNNIER whyyy
Even though, they added some lines here and there, the scenes literally feel like a shot-for-shot adaption of everything in the comic. It's like an anime getting everything in the manga right without adding excessive fillers and random characters that weren't in the manga from day 1.
I mean, they changed the personalities of the main two characters. Kinda feels like a drastic change.
Fun fact: The director told the actors to try not to blink to make it look more like a comic- there's only a few times in the movie that you can catch someone blinking!
Edgar Wright literally shows how much he's a fan of the comic.
this is why edgar wright should only direct comic book movies
maaarveeeel!
Have you seen shawn of the dead or hot fuzz? He directed those too and they are great (thye also arent comic films)
coff Ant Man coff
The English Mentlegen The World’s End too
@@erickmartinez5631 Yes, nobody knows how much of Ant Man he actually directed before he was fired.
@@ijustwanttocommentfugoogle3839 He only writed the script and then was fired
I think graphic novels make for some of the most interesting film adaptations because the visuals are already there. It’s a matter of what the director makes of them, so there will always be the visual equivalent. Persepolis, for example, keeps the visual style, shortens many plot elements, and also gives certain characters more development and visual uniqueness. I consider it and the comic it’s based on to be of equal value, because each does something the other doesn’t while respecting the style of story being told.
They really did a good job of casting baby-faced actors to fit the artstyle
Ramona was a lot less cold in the comics
I read volume one of the Color Collection for the first time last week. I’ve only watched the movie twice, but I was shocked to realize-the wrong way ‘round-that it’s probably the most comics-accurate movie ever. I love that they filmed at the real-world locations O’Malley used for his artwork!
0:58 aww i never noticed kim's legs on scott
3:41 “It’s that one guy!”
This gives me a new appreciation for the movie and how much of a faithful adaptation it was
3:29 Scott did Perfect Drive Parries before they were cool.
5:38 dang those guys fuckin' died
Power of Bollywood betch
The fucking comedic comic series about a 23 year old dude dating a 17 and another 23 year old girl has better fight scenes than any page of the demon slayer manga can ever fucking have
It's weird how Scott in the movie os like "im silly and clumsy" and from nowhere "BAM! BEST FIGHTER IN THE TOWN"
It's kinda weird, it doesn't seems right with the movie character.
That was the point if I remember correctly basically it was to catch the audience off guard since most of them probably didn't read the graphic novels
This is one of my favorite movies it never gets old.
It's uncanny how similar the actors are to the comics
I was in class once and over some kid's shoulder i saw the page where he's in the desert. I never saw the title. A few months later I watched this movie and got to that scene and I instantly remembered the one page I saw. That's a good adaptation.
I love how in the comic crash and the boys help Scott fight but in the movie they just fucking die in a fiery blaze
I always found it interesting how Scott in the comics seems way more assertive and confident, and I think thats solely in the way he’s drawn. Meanwhile, Michael Cera’s performance makes him seem more naive. Whats cool is that both of those personalities, no matter what, feeds into Scott being an asshole. Great work from Edgar Wright and Michael Cera on that front;
When I first saw this movie (felt like no time ago) Scott was way older than me. Now I’m a month from 27. What is time??!
Seeing you like Deku Link just play the song of time lol
Same, 27 as well thinking the same
He seems a lot more awkward than his anime counterpart lmao
Scott's character in the film was incredibely different from the comic, but it wasn't a negative. I really liked the take the movie had on Scott.
I just wish there could be an animated version of the Scott Pilgrim comic with the early Vol. 1 art style.
Was 12 years old when I first saw this movie and I thought it was amazing, about to be 22 and it still rocks. Took a small look at the actual comic and I'm surprised that they managed to adapt it this well.
5:51 I really love the jojo posing Sex Bob-omb does before Scott finishes Matthew. Wish we saw that in the movie.
michael cera portrayed scott amazingly and i dont think anybody can disagree
They might’ve taken direct quotes, but if you’ve read the comics you know just how significant of a difference there it.
Scott Pilgrim Comic and Comic Comparison 4:31
1:28 You're not alone, you're just having some idiotic dream.
"does that mean we can make out?"
"Oh, god! I had this totally weird dream..."
"What kinda tea do you want"
It’s always been a theory to me that Scott was never physically fighting anyone, but rather fighting Ramona’s insecurities and baggage from past relationships. Hence the fact she never really talks about her exes until a fight happens. Which also kinda explains why they “respawn” bc insecurities naturally comeback and anybody with a gf knows she needs validation
Woah.
Not to mention that some of the fighting is clearly taking place in Scott’s mind considering that no one else sees most of the things that he does. I think it was even stated that all the video game references towards fighting scenes in general are meant to just be Scott’s take on the world and not necessarily what’s actually happening.
@@cyclops8238 yeah it was confirmed that the video game references and fights were all just Scott’s perspective on how he understands himself and the world around him. Which also played a part in my theory because he was never actually doing those things but probably rather dealing with Ramona’s baggage like a normal couple:
🌈communicaaaation🌈
@@HexAddams I think that is the symbolism, but I would rather believe that all the fights are real because them being inside Scott's head the whole time would make it less fun
Actually most things are definitely real, at least if you read the comics.
3:20 most epic moment in the movie. I wish this was in the book
Wdym?
am i the only one that thinks that scott in the comics looks like 2-D from the Gorillaz? just me?
Just u lol i dont see the comection other than their both 2d characters in a fictional band
As much as I love this movie, I can't help but feel it pales in comparison to the comic, mainly due to Michael Cera playing Scott as way more of an awkward loser than I feel he was in the comic - I mean he was still a loser, but he had this sort of snarky, sarcastic charm to him, and was more of a loser/slacker prick than the awkward geeky guy that Michael Cera plays. It's not a BAD performance at all, but compared to the Scott Pilgrim in the comic, who just has this sarcastic wit and almost pride in being a loser, I feel the movie doesn't give as great a character. Plus, Ramona Flowers is played to be emo, which isn't her character at all in the comics (in fact, since I saw the movie before reading the comic, I was super thrown off by how she was in the comics; more of a laid back skater chick whose more nonchalant and chill than emo or deadpan).
Idk I liked the version of Micheal cera better. He seemed less like an asshole
@@godzilla4005 Scott is writed to be an asshole though
literally
REMEMBER The movie was written after the first book, there are very little similarities after VOL 2 for that reason. After that the books are slightly working off the movie so you may see a few similar scenes in the book for that reason
Never seen this movie(or read the comic) but damn I love the art style in the comics. It’s just the right spot between cartoony and consistent, simple and complex, and the video game motif is really good.
2:47 Wallace: It’s Not Race Guys! Crash: Alright, THIS SONG

YELLING FROM THE BALCONY, IT'S CALLED
"WE HATE YOU, PLEASE DIE." Wallace: Sweet! Love This One.
Notice in the fight scene between Mathew Patel and Scott Pilgrim in both the movie and comic, Scott is wearing a Plumtrees shirt. Plumtrees made a song titled Scott Pilgrim, that Bryan Lee O'Malley listed as part of the inspiration for Scott Pilgrim, as well as many other songs and mangas.
Love how the characters in the movie legit look like if the characters in the comic came to life
One of the best movies ever made, I will never budge on this. Would love to see more of this universe
If you want to see more, read the comics. The movie has actually alot of stuff missing, because when it was made, only the first 3 vol where released.
Ramona at 3:12 looks like fricking Kumatora from Mother 3.
I always thought Ramona and Kumatora looked similar lol. Ramona in book 2 looks especially like Kumatora. Although Ramona came into existence before Kumatora so it’s Kuma who looks like Rammy.
I really wish they kept “The glow” when they made the movie, it would’ve made the fight with Gideon a lot more intense. I also wish they kept subspace, but honestly the movie is really good. Mary Elizabeth Winstead played Ramona so well, and for some reason Micheal Cera just fits Scott perfectly, like you can even hear Micheal Cera’s voice when you reread the novels it’s kind of scary, but yeah! I love Scott pilgrim books and movie and all, I’m pretty excited about the Series theyre planning on making.
Sometimes in the movie you can see Ramona scratching the back of her neck where Gideon’s chip is, so that’s probably the equivalent in the movie.
One thing to note about this comparison is that it glossed over this important detail: In the movie Scott tosses something at Matt, thereby taking him out himself. In the comics they make the power of friendship power pose, which IMO is one of the few faux pas the movie fixes. Afterall, Scott is oblivious to how dysfunctional his little circle is, and the comic actually kind of misdirects from that story detail by making them all have a "power of friendship" ability that they took out in the movie in favor of Scott doing it himself.
My mom bought a DVD of that movie. I was a child back then, now that I'm a bit old I watched it again and the movie is still enjoyable.
So exited for the Scott pilgrim movie vs comic vs anime comparisons
I watched the movie first and it's so accurate I can imagine each scene in my head when I read the comics
Wow, so faithful adaptation. No wonder this movie is AWESOME!
Best live-action adaptation out of everything
Thank you for your great work!
Seeing these side by side makes me really want a full on anime adaptation of the comic.
I love that the tea scene was recreated word for word.
i think i read once that the team was fine with mary elizabeth winstead reading their names from a sheet of paper but she ended up memorising and reciting them anyway
I don't know if the coins they drop come from, but it's funny to imagine they lose whatever's currently in their bank account and they're defeated physically and financially.
1:48 dopest comparison, that was awesome
They got some shots 100% accurate to the comic
I love the comic version of scott going "Sweet! Coins!"
4:21 does Ramona say that out of nowhere in the comic?
5:03 my reaction. But honestly, I also live in a world where the only normal thing is that it's anything but, so I shouldn't be surprised
I wish this became an animated series.
