There's a reason why "Scott Pilgrim is dating a high schooler" were the first words from the comic series. It's like, "this is how low the bar is set for our protagonist starting off, and he still doesn't clear it". I love the series.
Yeah, they awknowledge it, but they treat it like scott being a pedophile is just a mild character flaw to overcome and all the characters who awknowledge it it completely underreact to it
@@bass1645 i dont think he was actually attracted to her, like, at all. he was only dating her to get over envy. + the age of consent in canada is 16, (...according to google atleast) and, even with that, he still wasnt planning on doing anything with her. yo i been corrected a milly times about this so CORRECTION!!! age of consent in canada is 16 with other 16-17 year olds, not adults also even if it was legal its still. shitty. which is the point
@@bass1645Scoot wouldn’t be a pedo, she was not only legal age of consent but Scoot also had no real interest in Knives and was only really dating her to keep himself busy because for once he was on the receiving end of a bad break up. The most they did was hold hands… and talk for a few hours, they hadn’t even kissed much less had sex.
I love how Ramona isn't angry that Scott cheated on someone for her, but the fact that he was dating someone underage. Cause she knows she's not one to talk when it comes to having multiple relationships.
It actually aged as intended. Scott and Ramona were supposed to not be good people. And the point of it all was their growth to be..... Marginally better people and the struggle they had to get there. Damn shame that instead of that message, Tumblr bastardized Ramona especially tho.
I mean, the other people that complain about Scott are from Twitter. And outside of artists and cosplayer, most of the users there are brain dead, so we shouldn't dwell on the whole "cancel Scott Pilgrim" thing as much. After all, who tf would listen to something Twitter has to say? Plus, you can also blame Ramona aging like milk to her being rendered into a pixie dream girl of the moment and girls wanting to be like her, just like when they wanted ti be Harley Quinn and her relationship goals. Like, yes, Ramona was shown as a pixie dream girl... but girls wanting to be like her didn't get the message too.
@abrahammesrajecorrea2349 Except for the fact that she was never a manic pixie dream girl in the comics, the movie made people think that. Idk why they made a 90 minute movie of something that can't be condensed that easily, but I mean, folks should also look into the comics before misinterpreting characters, so...everyone kinda sucks there.
There's a difference between being a flawed character and then seeing no problem with dating a high schooler despite being 23 💀 I'm not trying to cancel Scott, I honestly don't care. He's a fictional character. But the fact that people try to defend him for doing that because he's a "flawed character" is ridiculous. Scott is still a creep for doing that

It's weird. It's as if the internet doesn't understand Scott was intentionally written to be a bad person and everybody in the series calls him out on his behavior and tries to grow, mature, and get a grasp on life by the end of the series. It's like getting mad at the devil for being the devil.

In retrospect Scott Pilgrim had no right bagging a baddie like Ramona at all, literally none at all. He somehow has such negative Rizz that he underflows into Giga Rizz status.
Well, Ramona's got lethal baggage and Scott (at least in the comics) is supposed to be good looking enough that he can get away with almost anything short of murder. Actually, scratch that, INCLUDING repeated cases of murder.

It makes total sense, yet IDK why people are just being extra about it on Twitter, seems like they just, forgot Scott's suposed to be a literal scumbag that evolves and matures into a better person throughout the novel/movie/anime
I think the part that people can kinda miss about the series, thanks to the movie, is that uh. Yeah, Scott's supposed to be a bad person at the beginning. To me, the entire point of the series is basically him having to go through the long and hard journey of realizing that he's an awful person, and try his best to change. It's downright inspirational at points, especially the ending. It's a story about a bad person learning to improve. .....In the comics, at least. In the movie he learns just about nothing, which disregards the entire point of the comics and gives it a bad reputation.
He reminds me of the loser from rent a girlfriend. Both losers and no amount of trying are they redeemable. Never liked Scott then and don't like him now. People back then just wouldn't shut up about it.
@@helixcov4378When you think about it, yeah. It's an incel fantasy, as if incels will always be incels and never improve. You're pretty slow aren't Yoy?
@@billyymandyclips9551 I mean I can see it; but you're not getting is that he's meant to START that way. He is not the same person at the end of the series. Scott gets his dream girl in the end despite being a dick is def an incel fantasy. Scott's a simp in the beginning cuz hot girl (pure incel fantasy move) however overtime he touches grass and betters himself (becoming less of an incel...and more just a dude), which allows him to get his dream girl who is the equivalent of a bitchy onlyfans model mind you. They both choose each other because they help better each other be less shitty (IMO Incels only want to better themselves if anything), and save others from a relationship with them. Basically: Scott starts as an incel and overtime slowly stops and becomes better. All for a prize that, although looks shiny, is just as broken as he is. Not an incel fantasy imo
I thought the comic made it pretty clear that Scott was always in the wrong, though. Scott dating a high schooler, scott treating his friends terribly, scott idolizing ramona--etc. All his friends also matured, and he was the last one to do so. Part of the reason they all drift apart is because of scott's insane lack of maturity, and Knives is given the last laugh by being able to grow up herself. She starts as a girl who is so lacking in confidence and is so desperate for validation that she'll date a man in his mid 20s and call that cool--and in the end, she is able to tell scott, with full love and acceptance of herself, that she's too good for him. And scott also reaches a point where he's extremely happy to hear that, and graciously allows her to leave. It's not something that's spelled out, but it's something that hits hard when you actually read the comic, because scott pilgrim dating a 17 year old high schooler always marked him as a loser.
They do. They think being a protagonist means being a good guy... and all Scott is at the beginning is being a "nice guy"... but he and Ramona were just pieces of shit. That's literally it. The point of the story is how both clicked because of this and how both solve their problems to become better people. It's understandable hating Scott at the beginning... cancelling him just means no one got the message.
Yeah. And people that say that "it aged horribly" are really weird. It was weird back then and it is still weird today. The only difference is that Twitter didn't exist back then to have schizoids projecting their values to fucking fictional characters.
@@abrahammesrajecorrea2349in their logic Walter White and Jimmy Mcgill are bad characters because they become dangerous criminals in their respective stories (even tho they are developed to become criminals and how the criminal worlds turns them into monsters)
3:55 and ALSO in Scott's defense, they did *nothing* . Absolutely nothing. No kissing, no going beyond kissing, not even holding her hand (hope I'm remembering it correctly, I reread that series like 3 times). The most they did was Scott walking Knives home while she was gossiping about her high school mates
@@topcat59 yeah. The whole point of the comic is for Scott to realise that he is kinda a sh*tty/toxic person to hang out with, who ruined every relationship he's ever had himself, and to grow from it
Ya know, everyone sees you everywhere and you're like a YT comments section celebrity. But I saw your comment on an alt-right channel once... Nice to know what you actually believe. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Okay, voice acting and jokes are amazing as usual, but I have to point out the panel editing! Holy crap, the way each piece of dialogue is a new panel that slides in is so cool! It really adds to the comic aesthetic! It’s just so much fun to watch, even without the great jokes and voice acting. And they way it just dissolves at the end when the plot goes off the rails and the plushies come back out is just perfect!
Bro I'm pretty sure Scott Dating a 17 year old was considered weird even back then. Like everyone was making fun of him for it and calling it out as weird
@@fetch300 are you calling me degenerate because I remember how The story goes? If you ever read Scott Pilgrim he was dating knives before he saw Ramona therefore he cheated on knives with Ramona.
wallace is the objectively the best character, he has the balls to tell scott not to date knives and actually does something about it, he generally is just more responsible, he lets scott live with him for free, he just is chill. edit cause i forgot to say this: he also intentionally didnt tell ramona about knives because he knows that scott made a bad decision dating knives but wants him to be happy with ramona and leaves it in the past.
Hey you can like him but Kim is the best. Even with her issues (which seemed really personal) Wallace is a guy that keeps took multiple males from their dates with that one girl. Kim calls everyone what they are. And seems to be willing to help them with truth And I am a drummer when I was musical.
@@leodouskyron5671 ok, but wallace actually takes action to prevent, or stop scott being an asshole. like threatening to tell ramona about knives. wallace takes action, kim just calls people out
Gods, don't forget how the movie and comic book had two different endings, one for Knives and one for Ramona The series didn't age well, but it's still enjoyable for what it's worth. Also kinda funny to hear the Kobeni voice for Knives. Fits WAY too well and the VA nailed it
I expected this being a video essay about how some aspects of Scott Pilgrim aging poorly (mainly Scott dating Knives, a 17 year old) but wasn’t expecting a pretty well made and entertaining comic dub!
@@temin2776 He had a rough breakup with his last girlfriend, just wanted to distract himself. Knives, the 17 yo in question, thought she was so mature for dating him that she idolized him. But the most they did was holding hands once (maybe)
Oh man this is my new favorite RG33 video, I love Scott Pilgrim and this is great especially the little edits and references speaking of which man I love the editing on this one.
are people forgetting that scott being a bad person is literally the entire point of his character so that he can have something called "an arc". His thing at the beginning is that he's supposed to be a loser who behaves in loser activity because just can't accept who he is now and chooses to ignore his present situation. His arc is complete when he gains self acceptance, actually apologizes to every person he's hurt and he doesn't even get the girl at the end, but it's fine because he even made peace with his evil version "nega scott". TLDR: scott is scummy not because of aged badly stuff, but because he's SUPPOSED to be scummy so he can learn to be better.
A lot of people seem to have a hard time understanding that Ramona and Scott are MEANT to be shitty people by design, that's the point, it's like criticizing Walter White for being a bad person, like YEAH!! NO SHIT!!
I love Scott pilgrim, and I love RG33 for making such a short love letter to fans and the series, the call backs to the movie and even beautiful way the dialogue and pictures is turned into a motion comic is clever and very fun. Thank you RG33. This was my favorite video of yours.

Superbad is one of those movies you liked as a kid, but when you grow up you dont get the tiniest bit of nostalgia from and just makes you contemplate on your life. McLovin is cool though
Scott is fine. the only person im truly worried about is Edgar Wright, who thought Scott should be with Knives in the end. that was what he wanted as an ending.... it was only when test audiences rioted and the final volume of the comic came out with the ending did he realize he needed to reshoot the ending.
@@iwanttooffmyselfwithahammer I mean, just look up Scott VS the world the game soundtrack, if it helps it’s made by amanmaguchi (sry if I butchered that name)
Kim Pines, "The only sane one in this comic." Now wait a damn minute- I read the entirety of the comics. Kim and Knives literally kissed when they were drunk. Where as Scott and Knives only held hands. They kissed once, when she turned 18 at some point in the series and it was terrible for everyone including you. And to anyone who thinks Ramona deserves better, let me tell you that she has cheated at least 3 times throughout her relationships. Meanwhile Scott has only cheated once, as far as the information was told.
In scott's defense, he and ramona were supposed to be god awful people and in the storie they were growing to be better versions pf themselves and the story never normalized the awful acts of scott and ramona

@@topcat59 yeah. The whole point of the comic is for Scott to realise that he is kinda a sh*tty/toxic person to hang out with, who ruined every relationship he's ever had himself, and to grow from it
His thing with Knives was more of a “we’re in a relationship now but not really”.
Also if I'm misremembering, didn't he cheat on KNIVES with Ramona, not the other way around?

Where is my methe
Ya know, everyone sees you everywhere and you're like a YT comments section celebrity. But I saw your comment on an alt-right channel once... Nice to know what you actually believe.
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
This video was so fun holy shit. The editing was really funny,and the VAs did an awesome job. Hopefully there’s another one in the works but no rush!
Okay, voice acting and jokes are amazing as usual, but I have to point out the panel editing!
Holy crap, the way each piece of dialogue is a new panel that slides in is so cool! It really adds to the comic aesthetic! It’s just so much fun to watch, even without the great jokes and voice acting.
And they way it just dissolves at the end when the plot goes off the rails and the plushies come back out is just perfect!
Knives’ VA did an absolute outstanding job I though that was her actual voice for a second
4:40 I disagree. It perfectly encapsulates the manic energy and style of the comic, not to mention the actual characterization of the cast
I agree with your statement, it's my favourite vid on this channel
Audibly emoted “YEAH 😎😎😎” when Wallace appeared. God damn RG god damn.
It honestly aged perfectly fine. A lot of people just have problems with flawed characters.
Scott's line are so well written, exactly what he would say in the comic
Bro I'm pretty sure Scott Dating a 17 year old was considered weird even back then. Like everyone was making fun of him for it and calling it out as weird
It was a running gag in the comics and movie. Everyone called him a creep for it. It was never condoned by the story.
knives's delivery when she screamed was pure gold

THE VOICES FOR THE CHARACTERS ARE SO GOOD this video is a masterpiece
These are now the canon voices imo
Ngl, when Wallace shows up, he manages to make me smile. Good job, guys. (Also, that meta joke about Michael Cera looking like Scott... hilarious)
I really like how for a voice over meme video, this is mostly true to the characters
Well to be completely honest, Scott cheated on Knives with Ramona
DEGEN SPOTTED.
@@fetch300 I'm sorry?
@@fetch300 are you calling me degenerate because I remember how The story goes? If you ever read Scott Pilgrim he was dating knives before he saw Ramona therefore he cheated on knives with Ramona.
@@fetch300 chronically online mf spotted.
He cheated on both of them technically by not immediately breaking up with knives but I see what you mean
I’m genuinely impressed with how accurate the writing of this video is to the source material.
That tie in game was still fun though.
Glad to see it get a new life
wallace is the objectively the best character, he has the balls to tell scott not to date knives and actually does something about it, he generally is just more responsible, he lets scott live with him for free, he just is chill.
edit cause i forgot to say this: he also intentionally didnt tell ramona about knives because he knows that scott made a bad decision dating knives but wants him to be happy with ramona and leaves it in the past.
Kim>
@@posobio your talking to a bisexual man, wallace will always be the best
Hey you can like him but Kim is the best. Even with her issues (which seemed really personal) Wallace is a guy that keeps took multiple males from their dates with that one girl. Kim calls everyone what they are. And seems to be willing to help them with truth
And I am a drummer when I was musical.
@@leodouskyron5671 ok, but wallace actually takes action to prevent, or stop scott being an asshole. like threatening to tell ramona about knives. wallace takes action, kim just calls people out
The voices are perfect matches! And the editing is so energetic to match!
Gods, don't forget how the movie and comic book had two different endings, one for Knives and one for Ramona
The series didn't age well, but it's still enjoyable for what it's worth.
Also kinda funny to hear the Kobeni voice for Knives. Fits WAY too well and the VA nailed it
Bro that's not the Kobeni VA
Not the same VA as Kobeni. They do sound a bit similar some times tho
Also the movie did have the same ending as the comic, but it was originally intended to be different
Though Knives is 18 by the end of the comic
>didnt age well
how.
Is it just me or These style of videos are very Fitting of Scott Pilgrim actual in world dialogue and humor?
God I wish Scott Pilgrim had more fan content like this. Was an absolute blast to watch
The voice acting here is so good, it just sells the characters of the comics incredibly well.
I expected this being a video essay about how some aspects of Scott Pilgrim aging poorly (mainly Scott dating Knives, a 17 year old) but wasn’t expecting a pretty well made and entertaining comic dub!
It was a surprise for sure, but a welcoming one!
It was a surprise for sure, but a welcoming one!
Exuse me, I don't read that story, but why she dated with him?
@@temin2776 He had a rough breakup with his last girlfriend, just wanted to distract himself. Knives, the 17 yo in question, thought she was so mature for dating him that she idolized him. But the most they did was holding hands once (maybe)
We need more Scott Pilgrim skit vids.

Wallace being inmune to the weird beeping sound fits him perfectly lol
now that the anime's out we need more scott pilgrim skits
Damn, I love how all of his videos are so smooth...these crew really has passion for their works
2:11 prowler theme
props to the editor for such high quality work on an empty stomach
this is the most random ass thing ive seen in 2 months and i love it
why
Oh man this is my new favorite RG33 video, I love Scott Pilgrim and this is great especially the little edits and references speaking of which man I love the editing on this one.
are people forgetting that scott being a bad person is literally the entire point of his character so that he can have something called "an arc". His thing at the beginning is that he's supposed to be a loser who behaves in loser activity because just can't accept who he is now and chooses to ignore his present situation. His arc is complete when he gains self acceptance, actually apologizes to every person he's hurt and he doesn't even get the girl at the end, but it's fine because he even made peace with his evil version "nega scott".
TLDR: scott is scummy not because of aged badly stuff, but because he's SUPPOSED to be scummy so he can learn to be better.
A lot of people seem to have a hard time understanding that Ramona and Scott are MEANT to be shitty people by design, that's the point, it's like criticizing Walter White for being a bad person, like YEAH!! NO SHIT!!
@@sixty-nine69843that’s because METH IS AWESOME and dating minors is not
I love how she just said yea mclovin's cool after one line of him 😂
I mean, he is pretty cool. Have you seen the movie?
@@abrahammesrajecorrea2349 Yes
@@abrahammesrajecorrea2349 mclovin and the cops are the only reason to watch the movie. michael cera and jonah hill are eh to be frank
Fun Fact: Scott Pilgrim and McLovin actually share a dub actor in Latin America
The "SCOTTS GAY?!?!?" got be cryin; I woke up my neighbors.
I love Scott pilgrim, and I love RG33 for making such a short love letter to fans and the series, the call backs to the movie and even beautiful way the dialogue and pictures is turned into a motion comic is clever and very fun. Thank you RG33. This was my favorite video of yours.
Omg you guys capture the Scott Pilgrim style so well, please do more!

Dude this video is so good the voices feel so perfect for them and honestly I would love to see another video with other characters
Yet another massive Scott Pilgrim W,I hope the series gains way more traction when the anime comes out 💯
Hopefully they do more of this I love Scott Pilgrim 😂
0:59 him and denji would actually get along over this one line lmao
manga spoiler btw but it reminded me of a scene in one of the most recent chapters in which denji is bickering with asa about how cool sex is lmfao
@@Xxth3_murder5cenexX yeah lmaooo
@@Xxth3_murder5cenexX then Asa completely obliterates his happy mood because she got envious she didn't get to touch the penguin
Both share that Takeshi mood. Can't complain regarding sex, though...

as the number one scott pilgrim fan, y'all really made your research
good job
4:13 “GIVE ME 5 MINUTES, I GOT TO CHECK TWITTER”
Got me rolling😂
I was expecting a video essay, but what I got was much better
Shit, wasn't expecting the scott pilgrim anime to be a bunch of still frames...
I approve, its kinda like Inferno Cop.
Why are these voices more accurate than the movie 😭
The Knives screeching was golden!
You just brought this up from the depths of my childhood and I am eternally grateful.
3:06
SCOTT AND RAMONA: what
KNIVES: WHAT SCOTT IS GAY!?!?!??!,!?11!
Superbad is one of those movies you liked as a kid, but when you grow up you dont get the tiniest bit of nostalgia from and just makes you contemplate on your life.
McLovin is cool though
WE WANT ANOTHT SCOTT PILGRIM SKIT
PLEASE
PLEASE
Scott is fine. the only person im truly worried about is Edgar Wright, who thought Scott should be with Knives in the end. that was what he wanted as an ending.... it was only when test audiences rioted and the final volume of the comic came out with the ending did he realize he needed to reshoot the ending.
I HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY RG33!! (AND ALL THE VOICE ACTORS!!)
The voice actors did a great job here, they actually sound like the characters which makes this seem like the anime came early.
God this is so good. The voice actors killed it and it had me laughing throughout
Knives va is PERFECT
0:43
Beavis and Butthead is about the same damn thing and it’s amazing so I don’t wanna hear “Thats not like the most riveting stuff yknow”
what a great fucking timeline: anime-related sketch creators makes a video about comic from 2010. i am so happy to see this.
I love how in every version of Scott Pilgrim, he's always like "how are you doing that with you're mouth?" from the beeps
Honestly these are on point perfect portrayals of each character Fr
The moral of the story is. Don’t be like Scott. But also. Sometimes bad people can change too
Scott Pilgrim is one of those dudes that would be into Superbad at 26 (Superbad was released in 2007, SP is set around 2004-2005).
I thought this was gonna be a rather shoddy analysis video about Scott Pilgrim
Instead I got the best thing ever
4:45 many things about Scott aged like milk, but goddam that soundtrack aged like fine wine
Can you tell me what's this soundtrack called?
@@iwanttooffmyselfwithahammer I mean, just look up Scott VS the world the game soundtrack, if it helps it’s made by amanmaguchi (sry if I butchered that name)
@@iwanttooffmyselfwithahammeranamanguchi - another winter. Its from the scott pilgrim game
My compliments to the voice actors, for sounding so in-character.
Kim Pines, "The only sane one in this comic."
Now wait a damn minute- I read the entirety of the comics. Kim and Knives literally kissed when they were drunk. Where as Scott and Knives only held hands. They kissed once, when she turned 18 at some point in the series and it was terrible for everyone including you.
And to anyone who thinks Ramona deserves better, let me tell you that she has cheated at least 3 times throughout her relationships. Meanwhile Scott has only cheated once, as far as the information was told.
Fr tho, Superbad is straight kino, no cap. It unironically bangs AND bops. Just puttin' that out there.
It aged perfectly, you just never got it to begin with.
The absolute state of the Scott Pilgrim franchise
In his defence it was 2010, so...
In scott's defense, he and ramona were supposed to be god awful people and in the storie they were growing to be better versions pf themselves and the story never normalized the awful acts of scott and ramona
@@ktm6612 I think you meant "in the author's defense".
It was less bad in 2010
