The face she made before she was like “I’m period-ing” been there
Yo fr
I know will be saying that now. "I'm period-ing"
@Векторная Эйфория no it’s actually completely normal and it SHOULD be talked about and normalized 💕
@Векторная Эйфория It wouldn't be tmi if she said "one sec I gotta pee", so why is it tmi if she has to run off to sort out her period?

“he only likes her because she’s old, she’s probably like 25!!!” 😩😩😩😩😩
Fun fact: they put that specific age in that line because knives' actress Ellen wong was 25 at the time of filming this movie, so it was a funny joke the actress had
@@Melaramaa that makes it even funnier ❤️
It's messed up tho!! People of all ages need to be celebrated.
@@_Colie it's a joke. Ramona's not old or a "fat *ss." Knives just loves to exaggerate.
@@Melaramaa it is hilarious tho bc when you're 17 25 does seem old
fun fact: the spanish title for the movie is literally “scott pilgrim vs the exes of the girl of his dreams”
Yes, one of the best translations for a title even tho is sooo long jaja
scott pilgrim vs. los ex de la chica de sus sueños 😭 I like this title better😁
The Greek one is Scott Pilgrim Vs the 7 exes
yeah, is one of the worst dubbs ever
That's actually the latin American one, the one from Spain it's "Scott Pilgrim contra el mundo" which is exactly "Scott Pilgrim vs the world"
So sad we skipped over Chris evans’ character
she skipped some of the best scenes!! :(
I'm not evan a Chris fan but his scene was great!
@@tinymxnticore I couldn't care less about Chris (no shade to the man just ain't on my radar) but I am constantly blown away by his comedy chops. He is such a good comedy actor.
holy shit i completely forgot that scene in the movie happened. yeah no one ever talks about his appearance in the movie.
@@charlotteodonnell8175 it's good you let us strangers know you don't care for Chris Evans
scott: is in an extremely awkward situation bc he makes shit decisions

He’s a mood
When she said 'Scott Pilgrim vs Ramona's ex boyfriends' who else remembered all the times Ramona corrected Scott when he said 'ex boyfriends' to 'exes' because Ramona DATED A GIRL
Yeah, just replied the same 10mins ago! Figured someone would have beaten me, though.

I thought that it was available to stream since the vinyls are out.
The closest one i've found is by kailee morgue on spotify. i think it's a really good version!
the worst part of this movie is the fact that scott has pulled so many girls LITERALLY HOW
Cause he has a nice guy vibe
@@sirdragonmoon7092 absolutely not
@@starj0rd he does not look threatening, and is easily perceived as a nice guy unless u get to know him and see what an ass he is

It's Micheal Cera. Watch this is the end. He gets bitches.
gotta be honest, the best character was definitely Wallace.
Who’s doesn’t?
I like to think I am the real life equivalent of Wallace but I suck so it's not true unfortunately
You know what? You’re absolutely right
wallace best character PERIOD
Mood. I said to myself over and over that if my college did a stage play of Scott Pilgrim, I would immediately audition for Wallace.
scott is one of the only protagonists in a movie that I’ve seen where you’re not supposed to like him. idk it’s kinda refreshing that he’s not the true hero stereotype. also, the casting, editing, and effects could not have matched the comic book better imho
Only?
It's called the right way to write an anti-hero. Someone who litterally seems anti-heroic in his own story. Not brooding for brooding's sake. Also, protagonist doesn't equal hero just like anatagonist doesn't equal villian. There are a more then a few stories out there that break that trope. The Joker movie for example, the protagonist is not only not a hero or anti-hero, he is a villian... A villian with sympathetic story, but villian just the same.
it’s greg heffley
@@TheDawnofVanlife or American Psycho
@@leenakhanye true. I hated him so much back in the late 2000s. kinda makes sense now
TRIN! lol "matthew cera" im dead
Why is Wallace the only gay in "mainstream movies" that everyone can agree is 100% accurate? XD
Cause he’s not the token gay maybe? Like i might be tripping but him being gay isn’t his character? His character is being sarcastic and that one friend that will tel you like it is ya know. He just happens to also be gay
@@nassarihyman2864 yes yes yes

every woman in this film was far too good for scott
Not Ramona. Both are cheaters
@@MVPMVE At least Ramona was never an adult dating a high schooler 🤮
Except Ramona lying ass 😌
that part
Tiny Manticore trueee😭😭
Well Scott was written to be terrible, that’s his whole character lmao. Also, I personally love this fuckin movie because the direction is impeccable and so hilarious. Movies made by Edgar Wright are so unique because he uses direction to make it funny.
So true.
Yeah this movie is great but nowadays people complain about everything and wanna cancel them when there’s actual worse movies than that
@@shrmpizza8660 its not about cancelling, people just misunderstood the meaning of the movie
she said that ?
I'm tired of cancel culture, if you wanna see why it's getting problematic take a look at "art fixers" for example . So I draw elf characters(usually with a porcelain skin tone) and the other day one person copied my picture and made the Chara black and thick, then he reposted it as "here fixed your shit for u". So apparently I'm a racist and body shamer because I don't draw black, fat elves. I can't believe some people are giving themselves a pat on the back to stealing and "fixing" strangers art.
i love her sm for not cutting out the "im perioding..🏃🏻♀️"
LMAOAOAOA
The run really made the moment 😂
I love every character in this movie and honestly Scott and Ramona are both selfish but I think that’s the point. He’s selfish for cheating on Knives and treating her as some kind of trophy while Romona is selfish because of the situation with her ex’s and how she just ran away from her problems
very hard agreement with this comment
Totally agree
eh is it really ramona fault for breaking up with people?
I think what makes her more of an asshole is the way she treats other women
@@roseclouds5838 Can't ignore that Ramona treats men badly when half of those men are minorities. She literally admits that she only dated her first boyfriend because he was the only non-white boy at the school to cause a scene with all the jocks who were after her, like...
@@roseclouds5838 I think she dated them in the same way Scott dated Knives, she didn’t really care about them (at least not romantically) but she liked the idea of having a boyfriend and having the status that it brings
Ok but can we talk about the transitions in this movie? And the Xs showing up everywhere? The details in this movie are OFF the charts
the whole point of the graphic novel is ramona and scott realizing how they’re both shitty people. ramona cheated on her exes and gets angry about scott, she makes out with roxy because she thinks scott is cheating on her with lisa (scott just ended up crying about how much he loved ramona and passing out on her couch). scott realizes he’s a douche that makes himself feel better about himself by forgetting everything and coming to terms with his fake memories/amnesia. the part where ramona straight up vanishes for months and scott goes back into a depression makes this more powerful especially when ramona talks about how she just vanished and went to her dad’s house to watch tv and do nothing instead of facing her own issues. ramona runs from all her problems while scott represses them and it’s not going to always be smooth sailing but they’re going to try their hardest to make things better. that’s what scott pilgrim should be about.
bye this comment is so good
they both basically just realize theyve been selfish shitheads and all their problems are their own faults and they finally grow up and move onto the next stage of life together in the end i wish everyone would read the comics theyre so fcking good
Thanks for addressing it’s not about heroes, i hate when people talk about flawed people and say they’re bad because they don’t take perfect decisions
@@cristobalquiroz9731 there's a limit though. not everyone is perfect but that doesn't mean you can constantly make dumb decisions with that excuse every time, especially if they affect other people. there's a point where you need to grow up already.
That's why the movie should have probably been 2 parts instead of 1 less than 2 hour movie. They couldn't fit in everything that made the graphic novels as good as they were, even though I still really love the movie, especially the first half.
side note: I find it funny how Scott has to battle his alternate self and it turns out that the dude is so much better than him. lol like Scott is the "evil" Scott.
I was gonna say this same thing 😆 I wonder if that’s what they were going for
@@IvorySiren i think that was the point! scott is not a good person
Is the other him better? I don’t remember learning anything about him, I thought they were just kinda the same
@@alexschofield8085 The other one is better cause he’s a cool actually nice guy.

Everyone: “Scott Pilgrim vs Ramona Flower’s Exes!”
Brie Larson as Envy Adams lives rent free in my head
Oh my bisexual heart. she breaks my heart in a beautifully tragic way. I love her so much.
Wow that was really dramatic of me
"Oh yeah?!"
So many people forget Chris Evans is in this movie 💀💀
The disrespect:(
He was a good side character but there's so many damn characters to get through. Scott doesn't even fight him, really (just outsmarts him)
it also has superman (brandon routh) and captain marvel (brie larson) :)
I agree, as an Asian person, lack of representation affected me. It made me wish I was white. But when I saw Knives when I was 13 I thought she was so cool! I even wore a checkered scarf like hers because I wanted to be kickass like her.
I was thinking that knives behavior and mannerisms seemed far more of that of a middle schooler and that it just felt really weird that she was written the way she was when she was supposed to be 17 so her appealing to a 13 year old does make sense. This isn’t an insult by the way, I just thought that that was interesting. I’m not even entirely sure if this even seemed like an insult but part of my brain is saying that it might read like one so I just wanted to clarify that it isn’t.
@@thec0nductor537 I also saw her as immature and not being put down but I can see how someone would see her that way. She was established as young and naive in the beginning of the story, I always thought she was a great character who got screwed over by Scotts dumbass
My only Asian representation in Western media were people Like Matthew Patel lmfao X'D To this day his whole scene makes me laugh maniacally cause it's so over the top ridiculous I can't X'D I did adore Knives though she was so precious and adorable and a badass all at once bless her heart
Latinos have even lesser representation and I'm not crying bout that
My favorite scene in this, and probably the only scene that sticks in my mind is him jumping out the window and his room mate saying...'you just missed him'
The best scene, besides Anna Kendrick's character just being a mood.
It is criminal how trin didn’t even leave a little of chris evan’s character in. The character itself, the stunt double fight and tricking him into doing crazy tricks were so good. One of the best exes
the less i see of chris evans the better
@Cyberdemon Mike she said she thought they were boring, like around the 3rd exes battle
@@cartierg983 but...but that’s the best part of the movie. Oh well it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. She would probably like the comic a lot more then
@@dadgbe4834 ... what? Why?
@CYB3R2K30 why bother even watching then, her reaction is so pointless lmao
I love the fact that Nega Scott is actually a really nice guy. It’s a joke about how the actually Scott is actually a horrible person and it’s great
In the comics Scott is supposed to be a shitty person. Also Ramona Flowers was a pretty shitty person too. They were meant for each other. You really aren't supposed to think they are good people. It kind of gets lost in the movie.
This ! The books kinda deconstruct both of them and in my opinion they really allow both of them to grow especially in the last two books when both Scott and Ramona have to face their demons and become better people because they struggle through them and overcome them . With Ramona it’s her running away when things start to get tough and facing her emotions and how she treats people though she realizes she’s a bad person . It’s the same thing with Scott but Scott kinda refuses to face this reality til later. Also I love the fact that Stephen still realizes he’s gag after he’s tired of dealing with julie’s crap for years and it’s literally one of Kim’s roommates lmao
@@IzaiahKelly everyone is making me wanna read the books now!
Came here to say this
I'm so glad you wrote this comment.
While I have never read the comics personally I feel like the fact "evil" Scott was actually a pretty nice dude sums up that Scott himself really isnt that great of a person. And even throughout it seemed like other characters thought Scott was a shitty person. But maybe thats just how I viewed it, and I wouldn't be surprised if other people who did not read the books still missed out on the fact Scott was shitty.
The Scott Pilgrim comics give the female characters actual arcs. Knives moves on from Scott and rejects him when he tries to get back together with her. Ramona has a personality and realizes her past mistakes. Kim also rejects Scott and calls him out on using the women in his life. My heros 🤩
kim and knives also kinda fall for eachother and its adorable
romana sucks in the comics she’s no better than scott
@@sallstephen They kissed once when they were drunk but I think that was it. Nothing happened after that.
@@sallstephen dont they kiss like once while drunk lmao
@@Jackson-jd1um she doesn't say shes better?? she actually has a personality compared to her in the movie. i think she's a good character besides being hypocritical when she makes out with Roxie
They shot this movie to look like the graphic novel, so they barely blink.
This movie predicted e-girl fashion and you can't convince me otherwise
Predicted? It CREATED e-girl fashion (alongside the bratz fashion pixiez movie)
i don't think it did tbf
The comic came first ...... sooooooooooo ...... thank Brian Lee O'Malley for writing it.
E-girls and boys rip off classic rocker punk and grunge even classic batcave goth , alternative and even classic metal heads but definitely agree with you at the same Time since this movie they dress Rocker style
@@deadgirls3874 they don't "rip off" anything ,,, punk rock/grunge/the entire goth style and e/girls/boys/enbies are two TOTALLY different things. punks often have patched clothing/ripped/painted/dirtied, almost, whereas e-lads are 90% polished people that get their shit from amazon. theres a major difference in the entire alt community lol
The comics are way better and I do get why people dislike this movie but the thing that makes it for me is the directing and editing of this movie like Edgar Wright really did the comic book style justice
I’m still upset we never got the Edgar wright Antman movie
yeah i think this is not really a movie youll really enjoy if you dont know the comics, if only bc so much is lost from getting what? seven books into a movi?
character development and a lot of context just isnt in the movie
@@yogurt8150 that’s interesting because I saw the movie before the comics and thought it was an awesome movie (partly because Edgar Wright) but after reading the comics I realized how much the movie just didn’t compare which is understandable considering it is a movie that has to include every single comic. I enjoy both a lot and the movie still has a place in my heart but I do get why a lot of people may think otherwise
Doesn’t Scott end up with Knives in the comics instead of Ramona?? Correct me if I’m wrong lol
@@lenahh_5536 lol no he doesnt him and ramona do leave through a door too tho
Fun fact about the package throwing away scene:
It wasn't CGI! The director actually had him throw it into the trash can. If you track down the outtakes, it shows you how many times it took him to get it in there.
Why is nobody talking about “Matthew Cera”?😩
Lmao she did say his name right after that but I thought it was funny she didn't catch herself 🤣

"Every character is better than Scott" Well, yeah, that's the point?? Scott Pilgrim is the story of a selfish idiot that ends up realizing all the pain he caused and, while he recognizes he can't undo what he did to his friends/lovers, he decides to change and become a better person. So Scott being trash is the story.
Exactly, when Trin said she liked the side characters better than the main character and that was a problem I was like ‘but that’s the whole point???’
Personally I'd say Ramona is equally bad. But either way I do agree that the story is pretty much about Scott realising he's a shithead and then wanting to change at the end.
@@bigbro6446 in the comics, this was the main point of the story. They both realized how shitty they were and ended up trying to better.
boooooo bad take
People just want their perfect fantasy instead of thinking. Never once does the story justifies what Scott did. Do they sometimes make it a gag or throw in some comedy? Yes. Can't forget that the movie was directed by a British guy. Just look at The Inbetweeners or The Office.
I think part of it is some closet sexism against men. Trin especially has been becoming more sexist and so is her fan base. I don't think she is sexist, but has sexist tendency. Why do you would think she and her fans were okay for men, even innocent men, being killed by Megan Fox's character?
how Scott got any of the women in this movie is the most unrealistic part of the movie
Facts
No way he would pull women and break hearts irl
@@thelittleunicorn6196 right like how did he date Aubrey Plaza?!!
@@Jessica-jq1nw he didnt
@@JayJay-kq8ol yea he did lmaoooo
I mean, this whole movie, video game, and manga was created by Bryan Lee O’Malley. He is Korean and white and he went on to apologize for making the franchise “so white”. Also, most people know that Scott is a douchebag. There was a ending that they were going to go with and it was going to show Scott in his apartment watching the news where it talks about a Canadian man murdering 7 people. Then you would hear sirens in the back and it would cut there. I wish they did that cause that makes it more interesting and dark at the same time. This movie was the one of the defining movies from my childhood. I still have the soundtrack on my Spotify (specifically the opening credit song, metric singing black sheep from clash of the demonhead, and threshold from the amp v amp scene). I love this movie so much.
oooh this is all really interesting to know! i might look up the soundtrack later too..
Yes the soundtrack is still so good, I used to listen to Ramona by Beck all the time. Also, didn't know that about the alt ending. I think its cool, but almost too dark to fit the _retro_ video game tone. I guess he did technically kill them, though
@@calisha1889 I think I saw somewhere that they dont die they just respawn at their homes
@@skybattle9309 That is true, the writer confirmed that they respawn at home and realize that they were wrong
@@skybattle9309 exactly what I said. I also would want to watch a movie that's true to how the comics ending
if one of my adult friends was dating a 17 yo, i would be really uncomfortable and question my entire friendship with them. but when i first watched this movie, i overlooked that whole thing about Scott bc the movie introduced it as some minor quirky flaw then quickly glosses over it... which is kinda weird
What's weird? The fact that different countries have different laws? The movie takes place in Canada, where the age of consent is 16. In my country it's 14. In the Philippines it's 12. All these countries are what you people would refer to as "non-US countries".
@@velvetgristle7252 thats really weird for the age of consent to be 12. even if its legally ok, how could anyone consider that morally correct
@@velvetgristle7252 now you know that’s fucked up..
@@velvetgristle7252 you acting like we filipinos are even okay with it being 12 😭
The movie constantly shits on Scott for this.
Trin: It's not really Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, It's Scott Pilgrim vs. Ramona's ex boyfriends...
Me(almost instinctively): Exes.
Lmaoooo “I was bi-curious” 💀
It’s funny because that’s what it is called in Japanese lol
Adding on to what trin said about knives being seen as "inferior" to Ramona (bc ramona is white, and knives is asian), I really do see how that could fuck up the mindset of a young asian american teen and I honestly never really thought about it when watching this movie. Being asian its inevitable that i do sometimes think about how some people view me based on what race I am. But at the same time the movie doesnt shy away from telling the audience that scott was a shitty person and that knives deserved better than him. Which is why at the end I loved when knives straight up told him, "I'm too cool for you" LIKE YES YOU GO GIRL 👏👏
Yes! We don’t need to waste our energy on mediocre dudes.
It's not because she's asian. Its because shes young and inexperienced... or so I thought.
@@love55ickbeat5 that's what I thought too, but I think they also unintentionally perpetuated this mindset since asian people only really had side character roles in hollywood movies at the time. It's only getting a little bit better now. Asian people never "have the spotlight" or "get the guy/girl" or are the main heroes of the story, so I understand trin's thoughts.
@@Melaramaa She can watch some asian show then lots of asians in them
@@kjo1849 umm?? What??? 🤨 that's a really weird response to wanting more asian representation in hollywood
the fact that i had crush on every woman in this movie...
Take a shot every time trin says “I know people like this movie & I know people hate this movie”
it's literally such a weird disclaimer to make, this movie is nowhere near as divisive as she claims it is???
@@JG-kk1mr its a little bit divisive but i think she repeated herself more than needed to say the line at the end about her feeling its drags on like how her audience feels when she repeats the same things over and over bc if im honest i think this is the first time ive seen her really repeat smth as much as she did so i think she repeated it on purpose
I think it's because it's one of those cult classics and people tend to get particularly nasty in the comments when you don't like those kinds of movies as much as they feel like you should. I remember when Dylan watched Heathers people were feral because he didn't vibe with it or get the satire like they expected him to
I don’t know the movie just makes me mad. I don’t understand what’s going on but I do at the same time, so much stuff is happening where it gets to much, and I just ugggh I hate the main character so much I just wanna KILL HIM and give him a slow death but it would probably be hard since I hate the character so much but I also want him to feel as much as pain as possible. Either way I don’t know but I just can’t watch that movie at all.
J G it’s really not that divisive I agree. It legit is regarded as cult classic and it’s only just hit 10 years since it’s been made. Maybe she is on two sides of loving and hating it and is trying to put it on the audience. Oh well

EXACTLY, THANK YOU FOR THE TALK ON HOW MEDIA/TV HAS INFLUENCED WOMEN OF COLOR NEGATIVELY AND HOW WE FEEL DECEIVED AND UNWANTED BECAUSE THERE IS SUCH AN IMMENSE LACK OF REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN OF COLOR GETTING A GUY SUCH AS WHITE GUY AND QUESTIONING OURSELVES BY THINKING ("ARE THEY INTO MINORITIES?" AND ETC).
Honestly yeah, and I think it’s the same with queer people (at least for me). Even just making friends it’s like “will they be okay with my sexuality?”
@@alexschofield8085 Exactly.
We truly find ourselves in a sad state of affairs in how we legitimately have to wonder if people will like and accept us just because of basic details of our identities.
another thing like this that i can think of is when ross started dating julie in friends. i saw a clip of it on youtube and some people were discussing in the comments how it's intentional that they made the character chinese, because the audience were supposed to root for/prefer rachel over her. i'm not sure if it's true but it kinda made me sad

I don’t jive with the story too much, but damn the cinematography goes hard
Being black, if I'm attracted to someone outside my race I immediately wonder 1) are they interested? and 2) why? I've been fetishized for my race and it's uncomfortable to say the least
I’m black too, so I can totally understand the thought process. You’ll question if they even are attracted to people of your race, and so you’ll question if they’d be into * you *, but if you think they are, you may wonder if it’s just some kind of fetish 😭 Then you may even start analyzing and testing them to see! Or just move on from them. Man, I HATE racism for all that it’s done.
This is why i date only my race only so i won’t be fetishized
I've been reading the comments of POC in this comment section and I guess I really was raised different. I never felt like I didn't belong because of what I saw on TV & the *only* reason I've ever wondered if someone liked me or not is because I'm socially awkward and shy not because of my race.
@JB I see both sides and I never had reason to doubt the intent of people I’ve dated until I experienced it myself
@@demarcusp359 I mean, thats a safe bet but just because you only date your race doesn't mean they won't stereotype you with other men in that community or sexist shit in general about men. Also, not everyone fetishizes people outside of their race but thats just my two cents man

This is litteraly the best comic adaptation even if you dont think its the best comic book movie it has to be the one that was addapted to screen the best (also fun fact Michael Cera was actually hired because they wanted someone who could act like an arshole and still come off as likeable to the audience)
Period
Not even close at being a faithful adaptation. Sure, Wdgar Wright did everything he could to fit the whole story in two hours, but at the same time, there's no arc from most of the characters. Btw, Michael Cera sucked as Scott. He got the douchy/funny part, but Scott is kinda cool (good at fighting and pretty social).
It definitely needs a show to give all the characters the time they deserve. Envy in particular doesn’t get even a fraction of the screen time she needed for her character to get the growth she does in the comics.
@@Chris-ft2yx And you had to take it personal? I praise the movie but I won't pretend it doesn't fail in some aspects. Also, I've read other works and that's why I said Scott Pilgrim is NOT the best comic book adaptation.

That’s so fucking dope! I didn’t know
Me and my parents have been saying the BREAD MAKES YOU FAT thing since this movie came out, I feel so valid
Bread makes you fat?
Sameee lol i can quote almost the whole thing
And the truth is that bread doesn't even make you fat.
The fact that Trin addresses that she knows Scott's character is supposed to be shitty but all the comments are trying to explain that to her....y'all please give it a break.
Worse is that she things all the other characters are somehow good in comparison? They’re all shitty
olivia rodrigo and sabrina carpenter fighting over joshua bassett is equivalent to knives and ramona fighting over scott
even with the ages omg-
They aren't fighting over him though..

"pee bar goes out of focus, he washed his hands-" HE DID NOT USE SOAP THAT IS NOT WASHING HANDS
I just love that the “Pee-bar” is partially reflected in the mirror!
The way he washes his hands tells you all you need to know about his character.
this movie is good because the editing and soundtrack, but the plot is so FUCKING bizarre
You might wanna read the comics then. There's a lot that the movie just glosses over.
@@danielwilson7193 just in general,,, scott is a weird fucken dude lol
@@thedeserts it's fleshed out a lot more in the comics Scott is more human like as he and ramona go through a break up etc and he even gets a job

Starting to feel like being the “main character” is not the goal bc the protagonists are always the WORST
So true like I know this is a stupid example but for me Harry Potter is the worst character in the Harry Potter franchise
✨this✨
@@milli___ do not speak on him ever again. /hj
True, I always like side characters more than most main character, also irl people that think they're the main character are lowkey annoying
I also feel like writers don't really take the effort to make their main characters interesting so that's why side characters seems more appealing
People forget you can like a movie and be critical about it.
OK BUT WE HAVE TO STAN THE BAND IN THIS MOVIE!!!
YES
Asian women are either seen as “not pretty enough” or they’re extremely fetishized and that’s a massive problem. Props to Trin for addressing it and being so clear about it.
QUEEN
also the majority of the time asians are included, it’s usually stereotypes like the dragon and ninja vibe
You watch too many teen movies
@@Regu269 unfortunately this is a real life problem for a lot of asian women. Racism isnt just from movies
I honestly don't get why movies do this. Being white does not mean you're automatically prettier. There are so so many beautiful women of color, just as many as beautiful white women. Attractiveness exists in all races and ethnicities and black haired Asian girls aren't in any way inferior to blonde white girls. Where does this trope even come from?
@@saffy771 weird I'm from the US and I've never heard of that thrope.
Having his ex-girlfriend's band be AWESOME is such a uniquely Edgar Wright choice. Most directors would have her as a bubble gum pop star just there to loathe. Her band is easily the best band in the movie and seem to have earned their success. The fact that she's a terrible person has nothing to do with her being incredible as an artist.
the duality of trin repeating herself as she talks about how repetitive the movie is
trin loosing it for brie larson's cover of black sheep is SUCH a mood
Wallace must have back pain because he carried the entire movie
YES HE DID 👏👏
That's my man Kieran Culkin!!
Trin doing a classic???? I’m HERE for this
"EVERY CHARACTER IN SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD IS BETTER THAN SCOT PILGRIM" yeah thats the point
It is? I never could understand the point. Because at the end Scott learns the power of "self respect" when he should've learned the power of just "respect" because he had 0 respect for anyone else.
@@oreninja yeah a lot of the graphic novels got lost in translation unfortunately. the characters are very very fleshed out in the novels. it’s really more of a slice of life than it is an action novel tbh, so you understand the characters and their motivations a lot better
It honestly frustrates me that all people talk about is how scott pilgrim is an asshole and he dated a highschooler...like stop complaining that‘s the joke
@@oreninja nah self respect makes sense because people who do shitty things to others tend to have none. The worse you treat yourself the worse you’re likely to treat others and vice versa. He ran away from his problems because he didn’t respect himself enough to think he could actually deal with them which is also why’s he was living off his roommate, not cutting his hair and dating 17year olds
"yeah that's the point" the point everyone understood and learns absolutely nothing from. A "point" without an actual, y'know, purpose?
most people who watch this movie seem to relate to either scott or ramona, but honestly i see myself in knives. especially when i was younger and dating an older boy. i'm a lesbian but i was experiencing compulsive heterosexuality at the time and i found myself obsessed with my boyfriend, not because i loved him but because i loved the world surrounding him similar to how knives was in awe of the band and all the "cool" things scott was associated with. when we broke up i felt obsessive over what i lost because i felt i couldn't be the "cool" girl i wanted to be without him. i see all that in knives because she acts more like a wide-eyed child who is visiting disneyland for the first time than an actual love interest. in conclusion knives is a lesbian thank you for coming to my ted talk.
Same but I’m a gay non-binary person and Wallace Wells was one of my earliest role models for what a reasonably well-adjusted and thriving queer adult could look like and I have no regrets about it honestly
She is actually bisexual but yeah..
I fully agree.
that’s nice anyways i’m more of a wallace
just because you're gay doesn't mean every straight or bi girl character you like is closeted gay
MY FAVORITE CHARACTER IS ALWAYS KIM, SHE'S MORE THAN JUST A MOOD.
YES KIM IS MY FAVORITE
shes so fucking adorable and the biggest mood lol. "if your life had a face i would punch it" 😂😍
I AGREE ANNSJSKSSBSHDJS
I like her storyline from the comics. Sad they resolve Scott and Kim's issues in literally one line in the adaptation but I guess it was for time.
fun fact, in spanish the movie is called "scott pilgrim vs los ex de la chica de sus sueños" which means vs the exes of the girl of his dreams lol
I love that! 😂
One thing I will never forgive Hollywood for is constantly telling us that men who look like Michael Cera and act like Scott Pilgrim can get girls like Brie Larson, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Ellen Wong /hj
Sounds like you are projecting your limited views onto the world. Not every woman looks for the same thing. In real life younger actors who people think or vey Hot work average looking people. Scott is average looking, an be funny, and is in a band. He would do okay.
@@shayla106 it was a joke babes
@@awesomeallyse pfff
Shayla bruh
@@awesomeallyse got called out so it's instantly a joke smh
the title in spanish is “Scott Pilgrim vs the exes of the girl of his dreams” which somehow makes more sense (?
The English title comes from one of the volumes of the graphic novels this movie is based on
@@hs_conspiracy yeah, I know, I read the comics...I was just saying cause Trin said it didn’t make sense
In Spain it's still Scott Pilgrim vs the world (scott Pilgrim contra el mundo), So maybe that's the title in Latin Spanish?
@@leilaredondo3678 yes, it’s the Latin American title “Scott Pilgrim vs los ex de la chica de sus sueños”
I love this movie so much. I think the whole point of Scott Pilgrim is that he’s supposed to suck but realizes his mistakes near the end of the film.
Literally after death, he realises it tbh
but he doesn’t do anything to undo his actions towards other people
@@roseclouds5838 he owns up to it and he apologises sincerely. While I don’t necessarily think that him and Ramona should’ve stayed together at the end, I think the point is that they were both assholes before and now they’re going to grow and become better people together
@@alexschofield8085 I just think that he didn’t really seem changed by the end
@@roseclouds5838 to be fair they didn’t give much time to show that, but personally I think the fact that he actually apologised showed he changed, or at least was moving forward to start the journey to become better bc it doesn’t just happen instantly
Trin getting the “!?!” When he period hit? Far too relatable
trin calling him mathew cera and not even pointing it out as if i wouldn’t notice 🤨
envy adams is my bi awakening
what you said abt poc women questioning their attractiveness really resonated with me. I'm south asian, pakistani to be exact, and it scares me how much time i spent growing up thinking i was ugly because i wasn't white, and it didn't help that there was no girl on TV that looked like me. and even if there were south asian characters, they were negatively racially-stereotyped as the "nerd" or "ugly" character. there still is a serious lack of representation and it's so frustrating.
Ugh yes the way I cannot for the life of me think of a single decent representation for desi women in Western media???? I'm in my 30s and I'm struggling to come up with a name.
"Asian representation" in this movie:
That 17 girl who got dumped because he met a pixie dream girl, and three other guys who got beat up
You forgot the younger sister who was there for only a minute
@@iideadinsideii5347 honestly, she is the best Asian character in this whole movie in my opinion and the only Asian character I could watch without feeling that I was a joke for white people. Actually the best people of color because everyone else is white. I mean, she was the only one who nearly looked like a individual person.
@@bruna7534 Honestly I'm not even Asian just younger and her character mixing with the others made me feel a bit ostracized. It was really gross that he was dating her for one- but when they called her childish or kinda made her seem uncool, it made me feel worse about myself. Because ik what it feels like to think a certain group of people is really cool and wanting to fit in with them, but not being able to do so.
Oh shut up.
The funny thing is...Ramona ISN'T a true Pixie Dream Girl. She subverts almost everything about it.
Tbh I liked how Ramona was also kinda shitty but they didn’t develop her that much
Also: to be fair, Scott wasn’t rly attracted to knives in a romantic or physical way, but he was still using her emotionally
the comics are about Both of them stoping being shitty to everyone actually
@@Vinicius-zg2pq i know! it just sucks that ramona never got the same depth that scott did
@@danidkg4071 Part of that may be an artifact of how the film was in production before the final volume of the book was released. The filmmakers didn't know how it was going to end, so they missed out on the fact that Ramona's development is just as important. This is also why the climax of the film sees Scott and KNIVES take down Gideon; the original film ending was going to have Scott return to Knives, and the film was building up to that.
However test audiences hated that ending, and meanwhile O'Malley released the final book in which Scott and Ramona reconcile. They shot a new ending, (the one ultimately used in the film) but unfortunately, restoring Ramona's development as the other half of the narrative would have required reshooting pretty much the entire second half of the film.
Honestly, this is a story that would probably be better served as a streaming series.
The fact that Scott was a shitty guy is the entire point. Like Ramona told him, he's just another evil ex in the making. That's the point.
ok but that's annoying to deal with. we're still supposed to cheer him on as the protagonist, which is hard since he's so shitty, regardless if it's "the point" or not.
@Omar Abdi Abdulla i'm not saying it has to, i'm saying i'm allowed to not like it. what's wrong with preferring actually likable protagonists? is that not edgy and cool enough for you? people like YOU need to realize it's easy for you to like unlikable protagonists because you're just as bad.
@@basscanon6687 wow that’s a lot of unnecessary judgement coming from you. they were simply explaining why the main characters weren’t like able so you don’t need to be so passive aggressive.
@@basscanon6687 Man wait till you find out about stories that feature a villain as a protagonist.
Hearing Trin call Michael Cera Matthew multiple times made my day
My ex basically forced me to watch this film and constantly said that I was the Ramona to his Scott because I had pink hair. So yeah ... all the stereotypes about dudes who LOVE this film are true. Wish I could enjoy it.
My girlfriend likes to jokingly call me, a guy, her Ramona specifically to make fun of dudes like your ex. We both love the movie
Oh
My ex did this EXCEPT he said that he was with the girl before me because she reminded him of Ramona. So I was sat there like....so who do I remind you of?
He was like. "Envy."
👁👄👁
I hated this movie.
(I'm a guy now but I was a girl then btw)
You shouldn't generalize everyone who likes a movie just because your ex was a douche about it. I had an ex that *LOVED* Titanic and that movie infuriates me to no end but I see why people like it, and it doesn't make them bad people for liking it.
@@godbearxd not speaking for the OG but no one was saying it was bad because their ex liked it. My ex was a bad person, but not because they liked the movie. I dislike the movie for other reasons. There's a pattern here tho. It's quite funny that a lot of us have dodgy exes who romanticised Ramona Flowers imo
Your little tangent about Asian / Asian Female / PoC representation of films was really moving.
I just wanted to say that I hope you know that with >500k subscribers YOU are that representation for some young girls now, and you do a fantastic job of it, you should be really proud of yourself
You know Japan, China, Korea and other countries in Asia have film industries, and have done for decades. Maybe don't limit yourself to english language films.
i’m so glad you brought up about woc in media and how we perceive love!!! i def felt this growing up as an asian girl too especially in a very white neighborhood and always questioned if boys would be even into asians! its so overlooked but im glad you acknowledged it 🥰
"wouldn't you just be friends with yourself bc you know yourself so well?" Nah I'd kick my ass
I'd have a love/hate or frenemy type of relationship
i watch this movie for the ladies and chris evans' eyebrows and that's it
as a child this movie felt like a fever dream. now older, it still feels weird.
I tried to show this to a group of friends and they made us stop because of them starting getting physically sick
@@02turtledove thats so funny
I have adhd and man for half the scenes i had no clue what was going on if i spaced out got a second
@@roseclouds5838 i do too! i couldn't focus on most of the fight scenes. there was soooooo much going on
Recently watched this with my boyfriend for the first time and he agreed
brie larson please release your black sheep version on spotify queen
and Apple Music
Michael Cera being called Matthew is the funniest part to me
One of the things I really like about Scott Pilgrim, in the comics, and in the movie is that Scott is pretty unanimously a bad person, he isn't supposed to be a good person, in the comic he has a bit more character growth, but all in all I don't think you're supposed to think he's a good person. Honestly, I really really love the comic, but any time I bring it up I'm super sketched out by anyone who relates too much to scott
I love how confortable Trin is with us to the point she just mention that she's period-ing even tho she could just cut that from the video. Yas Queen.
Trin: yea i know the cast 🙄
Also trin: Matthew Cera
I totally relate to feeling inferior as an asian when I was a kid, especially growing up in a small predominantly white town in the south along with the media portrayal. It's so silly to think that I hated having my asian features when I was little, glad I grew out of feeling that way about myself!
Facts there’s literally beauty in every race not in a (virtual signaling) way but it’s literally true at least imo
I would also like to say I don't care what anyone else thinks about the movie. Just tell us what YOU think lol. Please stop letting it influence the way you comment on these things.
yeah I kinda wanted to say this too
i think for this specific movie, she knows it's basically a cult classic and she doesn't want to get attacked by angry men online lol i understand why she tries to stay neutral for this movie
@@jessharkness5534 yeah. It’s a rightful thing to be worried about. I know she’s gotten yelled at before for things.
I’m trying to be sensitive to that but also I feel ya just gotta put it out there.
The fact that the past 3 of my boyfriends said I reminded them of Ramona flowers...homie this ain’t Scott pilgrim go to therapy please
If your past 3 exes have said that to you, than I think you might be the one needing to go to therapy.
@@unyieldingmonotony4453 lol they all ended up abusing me so... 😅
@@unyieldingmonotony4453 also cuz I use to dye my hair and was all “cool” or whatever but their words not mine
@@unyieldingmonotony4453also I think you may need to read up on the reason why Scott dated Ramona again that’s what I was referring to
@@Victoria-yo6pm "lol they all ended up abusing me so..."
Just like Gideon abused Ramona.
You're even more like her than originally thought.
*Mariah Carey voice* That was a classic that was a classic. Literally one of my favorite movies of ALL ALL time.
(Fun fact: the director Edgar Wright asked the cast to not blink to give off an anime feel)
T J honestly same this film is definitely top 5 favourite and it isn’t 5. A masterpiece yes with a flawed main character but Edgar Wright was in his bag when he did this film
