You once were a vegon.. but now you will begon.
-Scott Pilgrim
My favorite part is when he says it's Pilgriming time and starts Pilgriming all over the place
Vegon?
-Todd Ingram
Vegan police has done their job
@@MS-FM2 Now those are last words
That’s actually sick.
"Scott, I think you're the nicest guy I've ever dated."
"...That's kind of sad."
One of my favourite lines
I've probably read and heard people repeat surface level commentary about the franchise while thinking it's novel over a hundred times within the last several years.
Anyone else disappointed Lee did not make a joke about Mathew Pattel making the name MatPat?
Ahaha😂
Ever since I watched the animation I was sure this channel or GT live would make a joke about the two MatPats but I'm still waiting
I was thinking of Matthew Patel being the Pavitr Prabhakar to MatPat's Peter Parker
It's MatPat's evil cousin (who's also a MatPat) 😈
1:44 him laughing at his phone wasn't in the script that's actually someone contacting him on accident but he played it off and it made it into the movie.
Don’t feel bad for making theory just for yourself. Matpat also had his few theories that were just for his questions to be answered. It’s safe to say Lee has fully established himself as the film theory host.
not only that, but it feels so much better being a genuine love for the theory making compared to just going for the big view-heavy topics
Are we gonna ignore the fact that Ramona is CLEARLY insane? " Oh you want to be friends? Fight these random evil people for me. "
It’s more so that the ex’es would fight Scott so she was warning him. Scott didn’t go out of his way to find any of them, they all went to him
I'd much rather take "selfish theories" that Lee actually WANTS to make over yet another trend-riding, algorithmic-based video that just chases views.
@@Tyler-q3k I don't think you've seen the movie, she warned scott about her evil exes how they'll go after him if he wants to date her, I'm sure she'd rather have no evil exes be a requirement to date her, but she realistically doesn't have much control over what they're doing
Fun fact, I cosplayed Ramona Flowers once at comic con
Turns out, you can rollerblade around comic con, no one stopped me! It was great
This is funnier under the assumption you're a guy.
DUDE IVE BEEN WAITING FOR A SCOTT PILGRIM THEORY FOR SO LONG
Next they have to go into the Scott pilgrim extended universe with the animated series
Fr
Romona isn't anything thing like cinema therapy described. Going about accountability. Accept in Romona
ME TOOO
fr
Speaking as a canadian government worker, Something to realize about canadian law is that all the life sentences are served concurrently, not one after another, so it would be 25 years total for every life sentence, not the couple hundred years if they were served one by one.
Just a little addition regarding the Exes.
They didn't really died after their battles with Scott. It was confirmed by Edgar Wright and Brian Lee O'Malley in an interview after the movie was released.
They just straight up respawns at their houses, Minecraft style.
God I love this series so much.
Yup, that's why Scott ends up walking in on Wallace and his bfs... *twice*. Bro REALLY needs to set a new spawn point. 🤣
One of the members of the band Matthew Patel killed was 8. Idk if that will give him a longer sentence but just letting you know.
Gideon not being the worst ex despite the fact that he literally forcibly implanted a mind control chip into Ramona is insane
Comic Gideon is even worse, he freezes his ex girls friends and keeps them locked up.
What would be the equivalent crime to that? Mutilation?
@@TemariNaraannaschatz I think they're in the game too
Wouldn't he have additional conspiring charges for each evil ex he sent after scott too?
Tbh that's why Lee established at the beginning, that this is the Toronto law based legal ranking, not psychology or ethics based ranking.
11:40 I think you should have added the ramifications of the moon shifting from an impact like that because it would trigger tsunamis and would no doubt unalive thousands which could probably be seen as genocide which is a war crime.
I don’t remember if it was touched on in the movie, but the books did include a throwaway detail about the damage to the moon causing massive tsunamis.
@BlackCover95 ok, I personally never watched the movie or read the books, but while watching the video that was something that I thought about.
Fun fact, in the comics it’s showed that the people Scott “Kills” respawn back at their houses.
EDIT: So I was incorrect, it wasn’t shown in the comics but the creator Brian Lee O’Malley confirmed it
Wait when ? I never saw this
I think it wasn't shown in the comics but it's still canon
It's just canonical. Said be Brian Lee o malley.
This is not a fact.
Oh Thank God! I was afraid that they were actually DEAD.
2:24 he look like if matpat had a evil cousin
Omg i see it now
Remona seems to be one of the worst, only two of her exes were bad to her, the other ones were just treated bad by her.
That I think is part of the point. Ramona was a bad person who has tried to grow up, hence why she doesn’t want to date Scott until he defeats the evil exes, aka she and he move beyond the bad behavior that created the evil exes in the first place. They were both garbage people with the potential to be better.
For as much as people mention how bad Scott is, they forget to mention how horrible Ramona’s treatment of Scott is. She constantly ghosts him or refuses to answer important questions about the exes that could literally SAVE HIS LIFE. This is even more prominent in the comics, where she ends up ghosting him for several months which causes Scott to develop genuine depression.
@@8bitdiediegood point but generally people talk more about Ramona being bad and ignore Scott being bad….???? Like don’t ever look at the comment section on any clip of the movie/show ever because it’s a bunch of people relating to Scott and ignoring his issues the way people do with Rick from Rick and Morty or smth
New theory: Ramona is the evilest evil ex
@@peckneckanimationsI don’t really see that. It’s more people correcting the narrative that Scott is the only non-exe ‘bad’ person (which I think the movie contributed to since it mainly focuses on Scott) when the point is that almost all characters are very flawed and learn to become better as the series goes on.
8:25 Correction, it's Roxy Richter, not Roxy Richer. It's seen in the movie when Ramona gives Scott the list of her exes. Plus you can confirm this via a google search. Also the fact that I noticed that has nothing to do with my name at all.
IT HURT ME INSIDE WHEN HE SAID RICHER 😭
I've been looking for this comment
Yeah I immediately picked up my phone and Googled it cause I was going crazy questioning if I've been wrong this whole time 😅
i still cant believe Captain America once dated an Emo girl
She also dated Superman and Katara
Cap telling the avengers “it was just a phase”
Whats wrong with that?
He also did battle with Scott at the X Manor.
He also dated Jenny Slate (aka Mona Lisa Saperstein).
Did you guys know Matthew Patel can also be shortened to MatPat, suprised it took this long for an episode on Scott Pilgrim.
I wish more movies would take a Scott Pilgrim approach, just having a good time and throwing logic to the wind in favor of entertainment. I love the way it feels like a video game, it’s awesome
Edgar wright is the only one that could actually do a good anime adaptation that looks like an anime i feel.
@@npcimknot958 Yeah, it's also because he read the book when an adaptation was being shipped around, and he was the first to agree. It's also helped by Scott Pilgrim's creator Bryan Lee O'Malley being heavily involved in production, along with every adaptation of Scott Pilgrim thus far.
Logic isn't even that far out of the wind. Most things could have explanations. There just aren't.
"SCOTT PILGRIM MENTIONED" i scream as they drag me into a padded room.
I LOVE SCOTT PILGRIM IM THE BIGGEST FAN OF SCOTT PILGRIM EVER YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW EXCITED I AM FOR THIS THE REFERENCES ARE ALREADY AMAZING
14:36 "I gotta tell you guys, Matthew Patel here is a real piece of work" It's MatPat's evil cousin (who's also a MatPat himself) 😈
My favorite thing in the movie has to be that "it took two hours to set the league" scene. In the comics basically a year passes by the time Scott gets to Gideon.
11:13 so could gru legally steal the moon?
The stealing of the Moon? ABSOLUTELY
the consequences of there being no moon? NO CHANCE IN H..L
Underrated comment
I smell a new theory
Consequences notwithstanding, he likely would, even considering that he never really used nuclear weapons to get the moon in the first place.
Perhaps that’s a theory for another day.
I’d make a joke about how every theory ends with “the hero is the real villain” but in this case it was inevitable since everybody knows that Scott himself is the worst in the franchise. That’s basically what the whole anime is about.
Lee clearly hasn't been to Toronto if he thinks that there's no Vegan Police.
I just bought a condo in Toronto, and saw a vegan lose his vegan powers at my local Wendy’s.
@@B1ueJay Chicken isn't vegan?
@TheTrueDiablix nope, I saw it happen in a KFC
Finally, a Scott Pilgrim theory I've been waiting for this moment for years
fun fact, when people in the scott pilgrim universe “die” they respawn in their house and just decide to not be evil anymore
The lore of eggy car is something not many know about, and could be a good dig through lore episode
To be fair regarding Todd, there probably would be some laws against blowing holes in the moon after the first time he did it. So there might be some consequences for the second time…As the Canadians say, “It’s not a war crime the first time!”
I got into the SP lore after the anime and bro Scott might be an asshole but RAMONA SHOULD NOT BE ANYWHERE NEAR A COUPLE!
All of what happens is her fault!
Nah, I get what you guys were doing with Scott but him “killing” the goons and evil exes were def self defense (+the author himself stated when the exes were killed they just respawn at their houses learning their lesson)
Not defending his actions towards knives tho
@@brantwaneyeah, but nothing there was illegal, so it doesn't count for the theory's metrics
For sure, hella disappointed by this theory’s inaccuracy
@@brantwaneThey said they aren’t counting the books and only the live action movie
@@nationalinstituteofcheese3012The info also applies to the movies. Though I don’t blame the channel for not knowing since they’d have to check interviews to know it.
Bro I legit just started getting into Scott Pilgrim and you make this theory ain't no way this is real
I'd still argue Gideon being the "most evil" for actually being the one to form the league. Like yeah, both Matthew and Roxie still had a chip on their shoulder regarding Ramona and Todd is a bad guy, but none of them would've gone after Scott if not for Gideon.
plus he has additional grooming and (psychological) abuse charges from his relationship with ramona (where she said he controlled her)
a Scott Pilgrim film theory in 2025 was NOT on my bingo card
That's because you've used too much "product" Walter
This movie is my favorite, but I never realized that the castle was casa loma, a place i recently visited, until now. And suddenly, the stair scene made sense!
YOOO Didn't expect a vid on my favorite movie!
LETS GO SCOTT PILGRIM THEORY
I think it’s safe to say that everyone is aware of the *yikes* that was his relationship with Knives. But since the series itself actually does call it out, and Scott is in a more… actually acceptable relationship (plus if I recall, concent laws in Canada), this is likely more meant to show how immature Scott was and how dumb he actually is.
Consent laws
Age of consent is 16*
Not 16
16*
If one person has a position of authority or power, then the age of consent shifts to 18. Otherwise, it's 16.
I took 1 law class in Grade 12.
I'm clearly the utmost expert in anything to do with law. Nothing could ever prove me wrong. Definitely not. /s
@ thank you for added context. I was just circumventing people trying to say something when it comes to something the series does actually call out
@@nerddwarfTrue but in this case there’s no real power dynamic. Scott was just some guy she met on the bus with their relationship being more two people hanging out.
Since he never touches knives, except maybe he hugged her once, consent doesn't even factor in.
@ indeed. I was just giving a disclaimer before the pitchforks come out
Oh so that's where "defeat the seven evil exes" came from
0:36 are we about to get a bill x ford theory HELP
SOBBING??😭😭😭
please.. dear gods no
@@andreholleymartin44god yes
YES YES YES 😂
Please no
Literally one of my fav movies this is hype
Glad this was touched up on as the concept spread out throughout the various Scott Pilgrim media. Though the Netflix show showed more of how things were with the “evil exes” with Ramona forced to properly confront them and see how much of a bad person she was.
Hello! Have you considered doing a theory on the Pixar Trolls movie? Perhaps the commentary on drug addiction and withdrawal. For example, the bergins said that eating trolls makes them happy. When they don’t have their trolls, they are sad, and grouchy. The trolls could represent drugs and the sadness that the bergins experience could be withdrawal.
Thank you, *THANK YOU* , for giving the proper credit for where the theory came from and the person writing it. This is *ABSOLUTELY* the biggest change for me from the original 'Theory' videos, and yes, yes, *YES* I am incredibly appreciative for it. Take my upvote and double it for that alone, and I have barely gotten into the video. The importance of that credit, for me, can't be overstated.
Redditor spotted, initiate verbal annihilation
OMFG THIS IS SUCH PERFECT TIMING IM IN SUCH A GIANT SCOTT PILGRIM HYPERFIXATION ANF NOW I GET THIS VIDEO??? PERFECTION
1:13 idk man i always love it when people just nerd out and they talked a LOT of the subject. always loved to learn new things with their enthusiasm
animated one was better
@ well tell me! i've seen and liked the movie but never really dive deep into the scott pilgrim stuff
I just got into Scott pilgrim a few months ago. My wishes are finally answered
A life sentence in Canada is 20 years
If you go to jail at 20, and get out at 40, you're in a new life. Nothing is the same
I took 1 Law class in Grade 12, so clearly I am the utmost expert in all things law, and nobody could possibly ever prove me wrong.
Edit: Grade 12 was like a decade ago
can you cite a source
@Theonethatjusthereyah, his law class in grade 12

Edit: Grade 12 was like a decade ago
I hate it when people say this. A life sentence is for life. You have the possibility of being paroled in 25 years (or less, depending on the crime), but by that logic most sentences are shorter than they say they are.
I looked it up on Wikipedia, so you *definitely* can't prove me wrong.
@ rage bait
Knives committed a few crimes herself. Assault, trespassing, stalking.
0:12 I thought we were talking about baddies baddies 😔
I mean, we kinda are ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If only they were women😢
Lee watch The annoying Orange horror log thank you
You have no clue how long I've waited for this
All this proves is that the only good person in the move was actually Knives.
I mean, assault with deadly weapons, plus how she used Young Neil. And stalking
@AZDfox Are there any good people in this movie?
@@junkuribo5150 Did Young Neil do anything? Can't remember
@@titan1umtitanthat was literally after she was manipulated by scott and was in a bad spot with herself, of she wasn't gonna make good decisions and yeah she still hurt someone but Neil was a grown guy with adult friends and college
@@soupyretch8204 none of that but the last sentence had any relevance to my comment
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGG I SAW THAT OUT OF ALL PEOPLE FILM THEORY DOES A SCOTT PILGRIM THEORY I’M LITERALLY LIVING MY BEST LIFE OMGGGGGGG THANK YOU 😊😊
Love seeing you guys adressing old shows/movies/IPs. It isnt easy to keep up with all the new media everywhere. Finally a video that I can understand!
I met my girlfriend last year, this is our first Valentine’s Day and I’m so excited for it! So I’m super pumped for a whole month of romance based content to watch with her! Best wingman Lee!
Disturbing the peace 17:56
Ah, i see you're a person of culture as well.😌👌🏿
DISTURBING THE PEACEEE
Is that a persona reference
Yes@@Trixster77
@KadenSJ 🙌
Also, my first boyfriend introduced me to Scott Pilgrim when we first got together back in High School 😊
I CANNOT BELOVE YOU ACCTUALLY MADE A VIDEO ON SCOTT PILGRIM FR MY FAVORITE MOVIE
5:34 racketeering? I can see why not cause there’s no real connection they can tie to being in a “gang”, evil exes but they are a league
Finally! A Scott Pilgrim theory!
I LOVE SCOTT PILGRIM AGAINST THE WORLD SO MUCH🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
LETS GO SCOTT PILGRIM! You guys should do a Scott Takes Off theory or a Scott Multiverse Theory because the books movie and anime are all their own canon essentially.
GODDD THANK YOU FOR PONTING THAT OUT. its exactly what i think aswell bc so meny things dont match up in the scott pilgrim takes off and scott pilgrim comics(the movie is its own thing) that in my mind its 100% diffrent universes.
@UrmisBurvisThe author himself confirmed that books, movie and anime are all completely different continuities.
While it's true that the comics and all of their adaptations, the film, the video game, and anime are set in their own alternate universes, there are still some connections between each of them. Consider the source material and movie; when the screenplay was being written, Bryan Lee O'Malley hadn't yet finished the graphic novels, so he had to contribute numerous ideas to the movie, and ones that didn't make the cut, or were suggested by Edgar Wright, would be used in the comics. Therefore, both the source material and film can be treated as faithful adaptations of each other. Then there's the anime on Netflix, which while it does deviate a lot from the story, is also a sequel of sorts. For a start, as Ramona warned in the film, Scott does indeed become an evil ex, because they end up facing a lot of problems that long-term relationships can lead to, which lead to Ramona wanting to split up for some time, which Scott misinterpreted that she wanted to divorce (which was heavily inspired by Bryan Lee O'Malley's marriage and divorce of Hope Larson, being together for a decade, much like Ramona and Scott), which in turn led to Old Scott training hard to rewrite the timeline, starting with letting Matthew Patel "win", which proves to be for nothing, as Rammy decides to just leave him. This in turn leads to her trying to search for Scott, meeting all of her exes, helping them get a new lease on life, one way or another, and in the end, after they all team up to fight Old Scott, which is helped by Rammy giving all of the exes a chance of redemption. Not only are all the exes reformed by the end of the story, Scott and Ramona become more aware of what their relationship could lead to, so they are prepared. Overall, despite the sudden twist, the anime successfully gives every single character, good or evil, a happy ending.
@yellohammer8571 If we get a multiversal Scott Pilgrim related thing that uses these to connect them all together that would honestly be the coolest thing ever
Interesting to have Film Theory and Cinema Therapy both do lists on this very thing; who's the most evil of the evil exes.
Now I kinda want a crossover between the channels.
I really went into this video like "Right so Gideon is the most evil and the theater kid, 𝑴𝒂𝒕thew 𝑷𝒂𝒕el is the least evil..."
i’ve never been more excited for a film theory video.
We finally have a film theory on Scott pilgrim I thought this day would never come 😭😭😭
I've been waiting for this video for years
I LOVE SCOTT PILGRIM IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Wasn't expecting them doing something with Scott Pilgrim, but I'm not complaining!
Why Ramona Flowers left Chris Evans is beyond me. I'd get back with him.
I have a Scott Pilgrim Funko next to me at my chair. How fitting!
Scott Pilgrim fighting seven exes, just to be with the village bicycle, was a premonition of the things to come.
Cinema Therapy made a video similar to this, and came to the same conclusion that Ramona and Scott, were the most evil exes*. I recommend people go watch that video after this one, it's very entertaining.
Love Cinema Therapy! They know their stuff, glad we came to similar conclusions 🙌
I know it's obvious but Ramona's the biggest problem of all 😭
17:05 woah man thats not our word 🥴🫨
Man immediate nostalgia after seeing the thumbnail
To be fair, he did not actually acknowledge the email Matthew Patel sent him
OMG YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH I WANTED THIS MOVIE BE ON THIS CHANNEL
I did not expect this 😭💯
AAAA
ANOTHER TALLY HALL/SCOTT PILGRIM FAN SPOTTED
Man I’m so excited for a Scott Pilgrim theory. This is my favorite movie and I love it so much.
Now the answer is obvious as to who is the worst. It’s Scott until he learns how to fix his mistake and change for the better.
Well, the anime did that. Even though he won, Scott and Ramona deal with a lot of things during their decade long marriage, which makes Rammy want to split up for some time, but Scott mistakenly believed she wanted to divorce, which unfortunately led to him becoming an ex, rewriting the timeline by kidnapping his past self. While it does lead to a big change in the story, it does lead to a good thing; Rammy is able to take matters into her own hands, dealing with all of her exes, making them better people, and after finding Scott, they all team up to deal with his future self, which enables Scott to be more mindful of what his relationship with Ramona could lead to, and even make peace with all the exes. In the end, every single character gets a truly happy ending, along with some character development.
You've got one thing one of the members of the band was a minor Matthew Patel killed
Love to see Scott Pilgrim getting theories, I'm eating so well tonight bread couldn't make me fatter than this does.
Also, pretty sure there was an unused ending where Scott actually did get arrested for killing Ramonas's exes, and on top of that all the video game aspects of the world were in Scott's head
First, love the reference. 🥖
The unused ended was planned as a bonus scene for home video releases, but they never filmed it.
Film theory making Scott pilgrim, this is peak
I don't see anyone in the comments saying it, but you got Roxy's name wrong. It's Roxy Richter. With a T. Y'all spelled and pronounced it as "Richer". Not sure how that oversight happened, fun theory though.
Noticed this too, only saw your comment after I made my own about it.
How dare RUclips kept this from me for 22 seconds
Never in my life would I ever expect a scott pilgrim video by film theory, My new favorite channel ❤
YO LETS GO SCOTT PILGRIM THEORYYY
“Scott pilgrim, film theory?” This has to be a dream 😄
FINALLY THEY COVER PEAK
The real villain is herself Romana because her ex mess.
Instant click, this is the video I‘ve been waiting for
i sadly missed this movie for a long time sense i generally just dont watch live action and everytime i saw the trailer on netflix i thought it was going to be something completely dif from what it was and after watching it i was blown away by how awesome and still artisticly pleasing it actually was and im so very glad my cousin made me watch it with him
More reasons for game theory to make a book theory.
I mean with game, food, and film now looking at books is more of a reason
If Scott Pilgrim Takes Off proved anything, it was that this Scott was the worst evil ex just cause of his pettiness
OMG A SCOTT PILGRIM FILM THEORY LETS GO RAHHH
I am so happy you did this episode XD I love this movie and the graphic novels
this was the theory I’ve been waiting for!
Cheeseburger
Mmmm chezburger 🤤
Cheeseburger
Beese churger
CheeseBurger or double hamburger
Correct
Bro, this is one of my favorite movies of all time. Thank you so much Lee.
