Badd Medicine here and its Scott Pilgrim reaction time
From the moment the film begins, it becomes evident that Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is a film like no other. Edgar Wright's distinctive directorial style shines through with rapid-fire editing, kinetic camera movements, and a vibrant visual palette that draws heavily from the comic book medium. The seamless blend of live-action, video game aesthetics, and comic book sensibilities creates an immersive and exhilarating experience from start to finish.
Michael Cera delivers an awesome performance as the lovable yet flawed Scott Pilgrim. His awkward charm and deadpan delivery are perfectly suited for the character, capturing both his insecurities and determination. The supporting cast, including Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Ramona Flowers and Kieran Culkin as Scott's sarcastic roommate, provide memorable performances that add depth and humor to the story. And seeing Chris Evans, Anna Kendrick, Brandon Routh, Thomas Jane and Brie Larson we awesome as well!
This films seems to celebrate video games, music, comics, and pop culture references with infectious enthusiasm. We are sure there this is loaded with easter eggs. Wright's attention to detail in recreating the visual language of video games and comic books is truly impressive. The movies themes of love, self-discovery, and personal growth. While the narrative may seem whimsical and fantastical on the surface, it delves into relatable emotions and struggles. The film balances its comedic moments with genuine heartfelt scenes, allowing the characters to evolve and mature as they face their personal demons.
The soundtrack of the film deserves special mention as it becomes an integral part of the storytelling. With an eclectic mix of indie rock and catchy tunes, the music enhances the energy and rhythm of the film, amplifying the emotions and driving the action forward.
Feels like we should do a rewatch and get to know more of the lore. Overall, fun film for not knowing anything about this world.

It’s not all one big dream. It’s just weird, and you supposed to just accept that. It’s fairly faithful to the comics. Definitely worth a read.
... it is not very faithful to the comics. You read something completely different.
@@chand911 i think he meant the style is faithful
@@chand911well it has lines word for word from the comics but Ramona's personality was completely different and stephen wasn't shown to be gay and they obviously didnt have everything in it like the robot fights or a lot of Nega scott. Edgar Wright wanted scott to end with knives so he made Ramona Unlikeable and the finished the movie but the writer of the comics said it had to be Ramona so they just changed the ending. They also didn't explain Scott is really good at fighting like he is in the comics.
Its faithful in it's own right but also very different.
Edit: They did make changes like Envy killed Todd in the comics and other things. They are both equally good though but are different
@@blaketfg9374 that’s more what I meant was there’s a lot of Word for Word lines, and just the main story beats are the same. I know however, they left out a ton of plot points. And yes, there are some major changes or things that just didn’t happen but for the most part when I remember it was quite similar like I think there is a whole fight between Ramona and Envy that they didn’t use in the movie. It’s been a long time since I read them but I know that they’re not exactly the same or anything there are many differences, but there are many things that are the same.
@@CrownlessKing88 Oh yeah for sure, and the things they didn't have time to explain that happened in the comics they would throw in quick easter eggs for. Like Scott fighting a purple suited dude to be with Kim, he actually did that and wasn't being sarcastic. Or the girl with the bionic arm that Todd cheated on Envy with just being in the background. It's faithful in it's own right. They are making a full show that's animated with the cast from this movie. I wonder if it is going with the style from this movie, with Ramona being less emotional and such, or if they are going to be more faithful to the comics.
The way he dives out the window when Knives is at the door will never not make me smile
Kills me EVERYTIME.
Easily one of my top 3 sight-gags of all tv/film. 🤣
I love how wallace adjusted himself so that he can cover scott
Comedic brilliance right there 😂😂😂😂
The first time I watched the movie I legitimately laughed so hard I cried, very hard finding the pause button when you have barely any control of your body and your eyes are full of tears.
so unfortunate this movie underperformed, one of the best edited and directed movies ever imo
We enjoyed the edit of this film.
yeah, the plot is meh, but the editing and directing are phenomenal
It did do well with DVD sales afterwards, but I do agree, one of my favourite movies.
@user-rf7ef6wv3c I think that was the point with the plot. To be overly ridiculous. The comics was even crazier of what was left out of the movie and changed up
It stuck well enough that their doing a animated revival so that's good.
Brie Larson's cover of Black Sheep is still damn good.
It was just announced that a Scott Pilgrim animated series is coming to Netflix with basically the entire cast coming back to voice their characters. Can't wait!
The band who originally did Black Sheep finally added her version to their CZcams channel.
And I'm sure someone has mentioned it but just to confirm, yes, it's actually Brie singing. She's an outstanding singer (so many actors are great musically, too; hell, like half of the Stranger Things cast has been on Broadway or in bands, as an example... Joe Keery's music is legitimately fantastic).
Metric is the band
Wait, I thought it was going to be voiced by a different voice cast than the movie cast? Oh boy, now I'm stoked! (I was already stoked but you know)
@@LordLOC Yep - Edgar Wright is only involved as a producer, but the cast is all coming back
Kieran Culkin steals every scene he is in.
The dive out the window is god damn comedy gold.
Interesting detail -- Michael Cera is actually an accomplished bass player, and the other band members had no experience as musicians, so he had to downgrade his playing to fit in. During the bass battle, that was actually him playing.
Bruh Michael Cera was operating at 0.001% of his actual power
Most of this is actually happening, there are not many dream sequences. It's the style of the filming that you are experiencing and it is very different and bit trippy, but it is gold!
The cool thing about this is that Netflix is FINALLY bringing it back as an anime series, THIS ENTIRE CAST is returning. IT IS GOING to be EPICCCCCCC
We are planning to do that as well
@@BaddMedicine Hell yeah!
If it's netflix we already know it's going to be shit
Doubt it. Anything done these days that's related to older movies is probably trash, whether it was a sequel or a reboot
It's Netflix.
46:10 I’d consider the mind control chip to be more like the impact an abusive and controlling relationship can have on the brain. Ramona literally says Gideon ignored her and made her miserable in the relationship until she tried to leave - then he focused on forming a group to torture and control her every move
This whole movie is an allegory of relationships as a whole. Any time we start a new relationship, we have to deal with all of that person's evil ex's, not in a physical way, but as the scars they left on the partner. It's why the fights get more difficult as the movie goes on; the more recent the ex, the more raw the lingering psychological effects of that relationship. In the end, it took both of them working together to defeat Ramona's big ex, just like how it takes both people in a relationship to work through big traumas. There's so much to be said about this film and its many layers.
Wow, thanks for this. I never thought about it that way but I really love this take on it!
I think its important to note that him dating Knives is one of the tells that Scott is kind of a loser at the beginning of the story. He has nothing going on in his life and is a "nice" guy. Any character older than Knives sees through it and get that he's actually a more indirect form of evil, also hinted to by Nega Scott being a pretty chill dude among other things.
Arguably one of Edgar Wright's best films. The music and editing is top notch. The cast is having a blast. And the fact that this is getting an animated show with the cast is phenomenal
I'd say Hot Fuzz is #1 for me, but it is only slightly over this. Then probably Baby Driver.
@@robling1937 Valid ranking. I'm very biased towards this movie, so I'd rate this higher than Hot Fuzz, but it's all interchangeable really lol
His best by a long shot, IMO. While the others have stretches of not much happening, Scott Pilgrim peppers the viewer with jokes, editing and effects from the get-go, and never lets up.
“Kick her in the balls!”
Wallace is my favorite character i swear 🤣
This movie is one of my favourites. It's definitely worth reading the comics as they have an increased story, each character is more compelling and the artstyle is great. The movie was released before the comics had all been releasd (six volumes) so the ending is quite different.
There is a anime series coming out soon with entirely the same cast and still with Edgar Wright which I am excited for.
@BaddMedicine can you do terrifier 2 reaction
@@user-bd2jg6wl6yoh hell yeah!
Not a dream. Just a beautiful video game/comic/anime universe.
One of the major points of the movie is Scott’s progression into being an OK guy - at the beginning, he dates a high schooler when he’s in his 20s, cheats on Knives with Ramona, and continues to lead Knives on.
I was a teenager in Toronto in the mid-00s when this movie takes place, going to shows at the Rockit and Lee's Palace to see a lot of really bad indie bands and some really good ones and also Metric once or twice. I promise this is a 100% completely faithful and accurate depiction of what that was like, including summoned music monsters and people exploding into coins.
"Now listen close, and you listen hard, bucko. The next click you'll hear is me hanging up. The one after that... is me pulling the trigger."
hahaha "Bucko" loved that
Favorite line "HE PUNCHED THE HIGHLIGHTS OUT OF HER HAIR!'
A few things here (sorry if it gets long):
Edgar sent them to a martial arts bootcamp for 6 months before filming so they could actually look competent during the fights.
Each of the evil exes have their number attached to them in some way (2 on Chris Evan's trailer, Brandon wearing a shirt with the number 3, etc.)
When you said "crank it to 11", if you pause the screen, it is actually goes to 11 in Japanese, so they actually did that.
Unfortunately the movie came out before the end of the comics. The twins were robot master builders in the comics.
The coins (you can see it best after Gideon's defeat) are actual Canadian coins (You can easily see the Twoonie ($2) coin as it is copper surrounded by silver.
The actor that played Matthew Patel is actually a Bollywood actor, which does sort of fit when they broke into song during the fight.
They cut from the Comic that Todd was cheating on Envy with the drummer (who has a bionic arm)
As some others mention, Mae Whitman who plays Roxie is a prolific voice actor. She did Katara in Avatar the Last Airbender, She did Tinkerbell, and she also did Batgirl in a bunch of DC Animated shows.
Mae Whitman also did Amity Blight in The Owl House
Her?
Edgar Wright is such a great director, so many details in every film and such a fun way of editing. I recommend the cornetto trilogy if you enjoyed the directing style, especially Hot Fuzz. Fun fact, the actress playing the evil ex girlfriend voices Katara in Avatar the Last Airbender
The Cornetto Trilogy is an absolute must-watch
And Amity Blight in The Owl House
Fun fact: the female ex - Roxy - is played by May Whitman, the voice of Katara in ATLA
Yeah it is Brie Larson who sings in the scene and this was btw. the movie that introduced me to her and I haven't stopped loving her since then ❤🔥
Have you seen the United States of Tara? Great show with Toni Collette - Brie plays her daughter
They have word for word almost every line in the comics. The main difference is Ramona. Romona is extremely into scott in the comics. They made Ramona more unlikeable because Edgar wanted scott to end up with Knives. The original creator of the comics said no, he has to be with Ramona so they changed the ending but in the cut scenes they have the original movie ending with him ending up with Knives.
Good thing he ended with Ramona.
I heard they filmed both endings, but the Knives ending did not test well
The graphic novel gets very dark when you learn of Ramona's obsession and confidence issues. Scott's violence is also addressed in that he is a bully but doesn't see himself as one. I understand why they didn't touch on these themes in the movie, but it really takes the story of the comic to the next level.
@@SSDexter99 The creator of the book after seeing the Knives ending said to change it because it will "dilute Knives's character." Maybe the testing you are referring to is them showing it to the comic Creator.
I saw the movie first, then read read the graphic novels and immediately noticed how different Ramona is. In the comics, she's so much more chill and down-to-earth, whereas in the movie, she's rather cold and stony.
I think this is one of those movies that you are just supposed to sit back and enjoy, don't think too much about it. The transitions are INCREDIBLE. If you look at some of the breakdown video essays on this movie, it's crazy how the director sort of hid how disconnected Scott is in the first part through transitions - there's a back and forth between him and knives and the camera keeps switching making you think that it's all happening in one place, but if you pay attention to the background THE LOCATION KEEPS CHANGING with transitions of cars, people, clothing racks. It's really cool.
Plus the music is so rad.
I wouldn't say this movie is necessarily a brain off movie. There are plenty of themes and ideas in this movie that it wants you to think about. I think what you're trying to say is you have to suspend your disbelief and accept the cartoon logic of the movie to really enjoy it to the fullest.
@@yammez1 yes, you nailed it
This movie is a complete trip, but that's one of the reasons I love it. The fun you can have when you don't let reality get in the way of the story telling :D
Wallace is, quite simply, EVERYTHING.
The editing throughout this film is a freaking masterwork..
SCOTT PILGRIM!!!! it's been a while since i last watch it!! I'll take a trip down memory lane with you guys
The fact nega Scott is actually a really nice guy since Scott is kinda a asshole was my favorite through line
This is without a doubt one of the best made films out there, the details are exquisite. Edgar Wright is a filmmaking genius. You can just tell they all had a blast making this movie.
Btw the girl from number 4 is the voice actress for Katara! Mae Whitman :D
So to add to the “superhero lineup”
Ex number 4, Roxy, is the voice of Katara from Avatar The Last Airbender. Scott not only had to fight both Marvel and DC, but a Waterbender as well
The movie's a coming-of-age story of a lazy, self-centered, immature, freeloader who has to learn to grow up, become responsible, learn accountability and self-respect after he meets the girl of his dreams. It's told in a very stylized way and uses video games as a metaphor for Scott fighting his battles/demons/growing up.
Insanely underrated movie, stunning visuals, amazing music, absolutely crazy plot lol!
Guys, I don't know why you're so confused. I'm Canadian. This movie was filmed in and takes place in Canada. This is totally how we exist up here, word bubbles and all. Didn't'cha know?
If you liked this you guys should definitely try the cornetto trilogy (shaun of the dead, hot fuzz, and the worlds end) all very good movies, by the same guy who made this movie (edgar wright)
You don’t have to be on drugs, the movie does it for you. lol
That IS Brie Larson singing.
Brie was a popstar before she was an actress.
There's a full version of her The Clash At Demonhead version of 'Black Sheep' that she sings in the movie.
It's a cover of Metric's 'Black Sheep'. Both versions of the song are equally great.
Think of the film as a video game. The dream sequences are like secret levels and tunnels into Scott's mind. Each ex is a boss fight. There's a ridiculous amount of subtext and Easter eggs for gamers, film geeks, and comic fans. Also, the original creator of the graphic novel was hugely inspired by video games. Toronto's a cold place in the winter and I'm guessing he spent his formative youth playing games like most kids back then.
I remember being 15 and my dad taking me to the cinema to see this and not telling what i was seeing all he would say was this movie was made for me and is right up my street and he wasn’t wrong one of my absolute faves ❤
Ayeee didn't expect this!! One of my all time favorite movies!!
Got to see an early preview of this movie in theaters about two weeks before it released to the public and I still have the small poster they gave to us of the movie.
Despite not knowing the original source material I loved it.
I've seen this about 15 times and it gets better every single time.
I'm really not a Michael Cera fan, don't care for Super Bad, but I LOVE this movie. The editing, the diologue, the music, so good. The cast is stacked. I love how the fights surprise everyone, but after they go right back to normal.
The director, Edgar Wright, also directed Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, World's End... what an amazing visionary! You can see his jump cut style a bit here. Love him!
This movie is an audio/visual masterpiece.
That IS Brie Larson singing. It's a cover of the song Black Sheep by Metro Station. Brie actually had a short lived singing career when she was younger
Saw this in theaters when it came out. Couldn't understand how it flew under the radar for so many people. Soon as I left the theater I got online and ordered the comics.
This movie is chock full of editing genius. Every time Scott says, "There's girls watching" and Chris Evans looks up and down to the beat of a faint THUMP THUMP, I lose it.
Scott being starstruck that Ramona dated a famous guy always cracks me up. Did he forget his famous ex? 😅
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE LETS GOOO!! great reaction guys, this is one of my favorite movies
So yeah this is basically Surrealism, reality with a touch of fantasy or scifi fantasy mixed in. Your not supposed to take it seriously as your just supposed to have fun with it and be nostalgic for video games and anime tropes. While not the best written stories Scott Pilgrim is a fun time with interesting characters and a good lesson with the idea of letting the past go, accepting it and moving on with your life.
This one slowly became my "feel good" movie without me noticing. No matter where in the runtime it is I can sit and just 'joy' for the remainder of the film.
I love how this is the rare romantic comedy where the "other woman" (Knives) has a real character arc and gets the good ending.
She wasn't the other woman, Ramona was. Knives was the jilted ex.
The universal laws in the world of Scott Pilgrim are akin to that of a retro video game, if not mistaken
Love your energy in this video! Your laughs are radiant!
Thanks for watching with us!
One of my favorite movies of all time, i saw it my senior year in theaters and went and immediately bought the soundtrack on CD right after. Thanks for reaction to it!!!
YES! One of my favorite movies (and book series!), I'm so excited you are reacting to this!
I watched this so many times. I even took my friends steelbook and said Im accepting this as my birthday present. He was like, fine. XD I watched every commentary on the steelbook one after the other. Top 10 favourite movies.
My favorite movie of all time. So many little easter eggs and references. Amazing work by Edgar Wright
This movie is just great. One of my favorite adaptions of an existent IP, just love it!
This has to be my favorite movie of all time. I've watched 8 hundreds of times along with the commentaries and it still gets me tearing up and laughing while watching it. There's just something about it
Interesting reflection by Oak about the end with his "evil self" there. A less philosophical take on it is that Nega Scott is his opposite.
So when they walk out and he says "He's just a nice guy", it's because he is... Scott is a jerk the entire movie, and his opposite is a nice guy.
About easter eggs: there are too many to list, but here's a few. The first ex having 1 stripe on his shoulders, 2nd ex (Lucas Lee, LL) pointing with two fingers, there were 2 X:es on the signs. When the Roxy briefly harrassed him there were 4 X signs hinting that she'd be number 4. Todd has 3 stripes on his shirt (and the number 3). Oh, and he throws him through the walls 3 times (and the last time it is 3 walls), and the 3 strikes for the vegan police. After the 4th fight, after Scott and Ramona argued, his shirt says 4½.
The twins, 5 and 6, when they turn up the volume, they turn it to 11 (5+6, as well as spinal tap reference probably).
When they are going to the party where he first talks to Ramona, the store sign in the background has a broken letter. FLIGHT CENTRE says F IGHT CENTRE.
That was a few from the top of my head :D
You guys can’t pump these reactions out fast enough! Lol loving them all 😂. Keep it up!
6:11 god this movie is so good, and the delivery at this part gets me every time.
Definitely one of my favorite movies, thank you guys for reactions
Omg what a throwback this is! I remember watching this in the theaters as a teenager haha it was so good!
This is one of my favorite movies, particularly because of the visual style. Speed Racer is another favorite due to the visual eye-candy.
My wife and I just enjoyed going to the theater back then and we saw this on a whim and our jaws were on the floor! What a movie! Still one of the most fun and wild rides you can go on.
"are we supposed to be on drugs right now?"
can confirm, i have watched this movie high and it did absolutely enhance the experience
😂🤘
The girl ex with the black lines under her eyes is the voice actress for katara from avatar btw
Great reaction guys, so many moments I'm glad made the edit.
Can't really remember when I first saw this film, but I was probably as confused as you were.
Like most of Edgar Wright's films they get even better on a rewatch as you start to spot all the details and Easter eggs.
I'm sure someone in the comments has already mentioned that Michael Cera throwing the Amazon package in the bin was done practically and took quite a lot of takes to get right.
Scott Pilgrim was a comic started back in 2004 by Bryan Lee O’Malley(?). The art in the show is based on the comic book pages.
"Are we supposed to be on drugs right now?" - The movie IS the drugs!
The “ha that’s actually hilarious “ so many quatable lines
Yall are my favorite movie reactors on CZcams!! I legit just finished all your harry Potter and fantastic beast reactions after watching them back to back lol!! I also watched a couple of disney ones today too rofl!! Safe to say im addicted and i thank you!! ❤️
The movie is based on a comic book series that’s set in a video game world.
Ramona’s recollections are straight from the comic
Loved watching you guys question if you should be tripping out 😂.
One of the few movie adaptations from a comic done well. A lot of the stylisation pays homage to games and culture or the late 90s so it's no wonder there are a bunch of game references in the movie even with the way the story is panned out.
Absolutely loved this. Appreciate coming into this with an open mind. Hoping for more!
Sending them into this movie of all movies cold is crazy lol this needed someone who's seen it before
Based on comic book where this stuff is possible by many differnet people, its just how this comic's version of the world is. Ramona can literally travel through peoples dreams to traverse the world if she wants. Scott is an a**hole, but not as much as all the other people with powers(for the most part lol).
One of my favourite films. Just really resonates with my interests and its so well edited.
You guys are so wholesome. I love this channel
I absolutely love this movie and one of my favourites, its just fun and unique and I've seen it so many times. An easy watch if you want to watch something diferent from the normal type of movies. Try not to view it as the standard movie structure, its more a wacky, graphic novel style. I love introducing people to this movie who haven't seen it. I just vibe with the style of it. You really get the graphic novel feel that this was based on and its cool
12:13 Oak chuckling at Wallace eyeing Jimmy just sends me 😂
Everything in this movie is super stylized. Its like a comic book/video game come to life. Edgar Wright is one of the best directors working today! Love the reaction, yall should check out more films of his! I recommend Baby Driver
The lead stunt double that chris evans hands his skateboard, the one that first punches scott, is actually a pretty prolific stunt actor, coordinator, and director as well as voice actor. Hes the voice and stunt actor of Dante from Devil may cry, voice of ken masters from street fighter. He performed the stunts for the live action references for resident evil games as chris redfield. He also did the some of the stunt work in this movie included some scenes where he filled in for micheal cera as scott himself.
This movie certainly feels dreamy and surreal. A lot of dialog that seems outlandish actually happened in the comics like the moon getting punched or Scott fighting a giant. Also, Ramona briefly mentions how she travels/teleports by going through Subspace, which Scott occasionally picks up in dreams. Also, I've always really liked the NegaScott gag at the end.
If you noticed every ex does something that coincides with their number, like Patel covers 1 eye cuz he is ex number 1, Scott wore a shirt with Zero to symbolize he isn’t an evil ex, and the fantastic four 1/2 shirt Scott wore was after Roxy (ex number 4) cuz Ramona said that he was an evil ex waiting to happen so he was going to the dark side a little bit.
Not a dream, just a comic book universe.
I’ve watched this film 15 times & I catch something new on each viewing. I’m a huge fan of generous storytelling.
10:58 14:34 Oak and Dave with their “it’s all a dream” theories- again, what modern film has “it all been a dream” in? Lmfao
Never clicked a video faster. My FAVORITE non LOTR movie
This movie is THE prime example of perfectly meeting expectations. I knew what I was getting and it just nails every. Single. Aspect.
We were 100% blind on this one. Didn't know anything until the end during our review.
Oaks refusal to accept the heightened reality throughout is hilarious. I'm loving it.
What's cool is they actually used the same houses from the comics for Scott's childhood and current homes, which were themselves actually inspired by the real places shown in this movie. Really hilarious, honestly.
This is all based on the comics. It’s so good. This has to be one of my favorite movies ever. Edgar Wright is legendary for this movie. Beck is too since he wrote some of the songs.
Fun facts about the music in the movie: Beck wrote 20+ original songs for this movie, most if not all of the songs from Scott's band plus more. Also in the bass battle, Scott was playing a riff from a Final Fantasy game. I forget which one, there are a lot of video game references in this movie. They even got permission to use music from the Zelda series
one of my fav films of all time!
The point is that Scott is a terrible person. A lot of people kind of miss that the first time they watch, but the movie really tries to constantly show it. We literally start with learning that a 22-year-old is dating a minor 🤷♀️
I don't know why no one else has commented this, it's not a dream, the entire movie is a video game which is based on a comic. So basically it's a movie about a video game about a comic book.
This will always be one of my favorites.
