Are you ready for more Scott Pilgrim? Well too bad, it's what you're getting. Scott Pilgrim EX has recently been released, and to celebrate the last official content we'll probably be getting for a while, I'm going to run through the comic run, which is still the best SP media we've ever gotten. Enjoy.
Alternate Evil Edition cover.
I probably should've started this yesterday when the last thread died but whatever. I'm lazy like Scott.
reading bump isn't needed this early but just letting op know there's at least one lurker here
I thought about storytiming this one chapter at a time like I've seen people do for other graphic novels, but then I'd be doing this for more than a month and I don't want to.
reading bump
Plumber who was supposed to come to my house four hours ago just showed up. Back in a bit.
>>152769723I LOVE KIM
Scott Pilgrim vs The Bump
Back to the show.
>>152770453Lucky bastard.
Fuck, skipped a page. I'm also retarded like Scott.
>>152771023I wish I had a Knives gf.
>>152770394>That’s the online bookstore or whatever, right?Forgot Scott Pilgrim is older than Amazon Prime
End of book.
Posting behind the scenes extras.
And that's it for today. Tune in next time for volume 2, Scott Pilgrim vs the World.
>>152769577>>152769588Since Knives's Dad only came after Scott later, does this mean Knives's Mom didn't have a problem with Knives dating him?
>>152772042She is Asian and Catholic; if she doesn't start having babies, it will be a disgrace to the family.
>>152772068Now I want a scene with Wallace and Knives's Mom are both trying to give Scott advice while Knives is both embarrassed and horrified.
>>152771923cute cutting implement.
>>152769477So will you post the next volume, or will you wait until the thread is archived before posting it?
>>152771542>>152771553>Patel then woke up crying in his bed the following morning, surrounded by his demon hipster chicks as they cooked him breakfast and reaffirmed that yes, Pirates are still cool.
The first 3 volumes of SP gives me a sense of nostalgia that just melts my brain man. FUCK.>>152769558>>152769565>>152769713>>152769723Specially scenes with sex-bob-omb mingling and fucking around with each other>>152769723Also one thing that I notice a lot on rereads is that Kim even back in volume 1 totally wants to get back with Scott but doesnt know how to break the ice without making things awkward. Once Ramona enters the picture she quietly retreats to her grumpy sullen personality we all like her for
>>152772838I like the way O'Malley drew characters in the earlier volumes more than by the time the series ended.I think it fit the Slice of Life aspect of Scott Pilgrim better.
>>152772870They definitely got cuter and younger looking as it went along.
>>152772838what I always like about volume three is you can pretty much see the transition happen in real time from the first two books to what the rest of the series looks like.
>>152769648early knives is really cute
>>152771832>Wallace P. WeldonGlad he went with Wells instead
>>152772624Wait until it's archived.
>>152774464I don't hate "Wallace Weldon" but "Wallace Wells" rolls off a lot better
More logan.
I forgot how CUTE Kim looks in this comic.
>>152770373>Not Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Bump
>>152775384I only considered it after the fact, unfortunately
>>152774903oh yeah, this is good as hell! I'm glad you really took the Logan idea and are running with it!
>>152774903He needs a brunette sister who's a goofball to contrast his seriousness.
>>152775408>brunetteIt's complicated; basically, his father is a redhead and his mother is blonde.
>>152775407I was thinking it would be great to create an AU with all of Scott's alternate children (Scott x Knives, Scott x Patel, Scott x Wallace, Scott x Envie, etc.). Similar to the Ship Wars of SVTFOE
>>152769596Is this how everyone feels having to deal with Scott on most days?
>Lisa Miller, when you come over with pizza.
Someone post the KC Green parody, cause i can't find it
>>152776526I don't have that but I have the Max Gilardi parody.
>>152770197Rereading this, it just doesn't make sense that Julie would get with Gideon. If she knows how bad Gideon was to Ramona why on Earth would she go out with him? Not only is she endangering herself, but that probably really hurt Ramona's feelings.
>>152776784Reading this feels like the Scott Pilgrim equivalent of thishttps://youtu.be/Og-vN7oWdlE?si=FQlo8I7ShqSuxvad
>>152776789It'd make sense in a scenario where Scott and Ramona fucked her over somehow and teamed up with Gideon to get even. Not to mention Gideon probably gave her a sob story about how Ramona was the one at fault.
>>152775496>Scott x Wallace>"So, did you guys adopt or use a surrogate?">Wallace puts his arm around Scott>"Nope, we did it the old fashioned way">Scott turns red and looks away>"I don't want to talk about it"
>>152771236>This song is called "Zog"!>They're a menace to societyBLOM was ahead of his time
>>152771401Patel looks so much more unique here than in Takes Off.>>152771427Always loved the presentation of this scene.>>152771597>>152771612Since she doesn't correct the "boyfriends" part, does this mean the original plan was that Roxie was a guy?
>>152777031I just assumed Ramona didn't care enough about Roxie anymore to correct him, since she's pretty dismissive towards most of the Ex-Exes.
>>152777278Evil-Exes, not Ex-Exes, my bad.
>>152777031>Since she doesn't correct the "boyfriends" part, does this mean the original plan was that Roxie was a guy?I think the "six or seven" line was because she said seven ex-boyfriends, realized her mistake, and wasn't sure whether to correct herself.
>>152771427>>152771438>>152771446Since Ramona has purple hair here, I wonder if she was dyeing it back then or it that's just Scott's imagination.
>>152771427>No art of hebe RamonaSad. There's gotta be at least one loli artist who read Scott Pilgrim.
>>152769477bump
>>152772870you can see the slant of his drawing hand position in the shape of the faces
>>152769789Wallace is right, Knives is just too cute. I must hold hands with her while we check out Goodwill.
>>152770106>>152770119God I love Michael
>not the original black and white versionruined
>>152771102There's something very adorable about Kim hearing that she'll be playing against a girl drummer and immediately going into attack mode.
>>152771620>>152771631I'd forgotten that The Glow shows up all the way back in the first issue.
>>152778618I know it was technically consistent throughout the series but I always found it to be the weakest aspect of the finale.
>>152771278Wallace has such powers.
>>152774903I feel like he'd have an insane number of siblings because Roxxie secretly loves being pregnant more than anything else
>>152780630He is the oldest, he has 6 other siblings.You know, they're a ninja clan.
>>152780630>Roxxie always screams "NEVER AGAIN PILGRIM!!" every time she's in labor>inevitably 6 months later she's running her hand over her missing bump>when she starts leg locking every time, that's how Scott knows there's gonna be another member of the clan and there's nothing he can do about it
>>152769477maybe it's time for me to read this for the first time, i get the impression it's very 2000s-centered
I like Knives
>>152771023>>152771054>>152771152Goddamm, a girl giving me this kind of attention would tame me the fuck out. Speaks volumes of how fucked Scott’s past relationship with Envy left him and how charmed that first encounter with Ramona was.
>>152780998No shit, that's when the comic was being written.
>>152769525Always liked how this comic opens
If Scott had played his cards right, Knives totally would have asked Tamara to join in.
>>152780982Kek
>>152782746Tell me more
>>152783715>Tamara was still shaken by that weird Indian guy attacking the band last night. Still, she nervously accepted a text from Knives to attend her boyfriend's band practice the following day.>But she had no idea what she was walking into. Sex Bob-Omb wasn't there, but Knives and Scott were. Knives had thrown off her pants and underwear, she was standing above a naked Scott, who was lying down and awkwardly playing his bass.>Knives lowered herself down as Scott continued to play. "You can feel everything, Tamara! You gotta try this!" Tamara was too embarrassed to turn away, this was all way too much, and just as she stepped foward towards the pair.>Kim and Julie walked through the door
Does anyone have a favorite style from the books?
>>152784802Like, art style? I like the earlier books.
>>152770074>Envy (pre-bitch)>Scott>Stills>Kim>KnivesDamn, the best possible ending was hiding in Scott's dreams all along.
>>152780998>i get the impression it's very 2000s-centeredthe comic was set in the early 2000s when it started out but has kinda progressed into this permanent vague era of the 2000s between like 2000 and 2006 as the series has moved to Netflix and into games. I remember reading an article some time ago talking about how the 2000s of Toronto that Scott Pilgrim portrayed doesn't really exist anymore, making it even more of a 2000s period piece.
She absolutely wants to hate fuck Scott.
>>152782746>>152783715>>152783966I'd like to believe Tamara would be down for making out or even having sex with Knives, since she admires her so greatly. Knives might be down to loop Tamara into her desired shenanigans with Scott, but I think Scott being involved would kill it for Tamara. I think her negative feelings towards Scott means any chance to hookup with the woman she most admires would be squashed if Scott were involved.Scott would probably not want to have a threesome with Knives and Tamara anyway. He already felt bad about going beyond holding Knives hands. Having sex with her and her friend, even if this is book 6, would probably make him want to die. A threesome with Kim and Ramona seems likely in his future though, so it'll happen for him eventually.I do think Tamara and Knives would probably get up to something eventually, like making out or even more. Maybe one of Knives rants gets a little too personal. Knives becomes very grateful for Tamara, goes for a kiss, things escalate, etc. Fittingly, for their relationship, it would be Tamara's first time something like this happens but Knives's second time.
>>152769545in the sequel, written by Frank Miller, Scott Pilgrim is 53 and dating a high schooler....AGAIN!
>>152770074Electric guitar, acoustic guitar, keyboard, and saxophone?What kind of band is this?
>>152785661A band made by hipster Canadians.
>>152785567nice
>>152769633Man, even the narrator can't be assed about Scott's inane bullshit.
>>152786019I'm convinced early series Scott is always walking with someone because he'd get lost otherwise and end up crossing the border into America.
>>152785661>>152785790I feel like a band must exist out there like this
>>152785307how would the comic be different if she did?
>>152769558>>152769565>>152769577>>152769588Be honest, bros... how many of you would serious date a girl like Knives? And I mean JUST like Knives.
>>152785381>Knives gets into a threesome with Tamara and Kim
>>152785384>Alternate version of book 2 where Scott murders Simon Lee
>>152787731I would certainly try, but I don't know how much we have in common. She doesn't strike me as a Gamer.
>>152787841Kim gets around, Tamara is gonna find out
>>152788268Kim is kissing a minor!? Time to write her out of the next Scott Pilgrim story.
>>152788300The love of Kim is too strong, she can withstand this
How many pages per graphic novel?
>>152769956I know Fujimoto was inspired, even if it's just a bit, by Scott when making Denji
>>152788268Genuinely why did he write this
>>152776789she might have assumed ramona was just being a drama llama and it wasn't that bad, she does have 7 exes
>>152770793constant comment sounds tasty
This shit is really nostalgic. I can't help but see some aspects of myself in Scott, mostly bad ones kek. I actually began playing the drums after watching the film for the first time and I have a little band with a couple of friends I'm the least talented
>>152791060lesbians hot
>>152790700They get longer as the series goes on.
>>152791060Most people at the time didn't seem to mind and it seemed to be in Knives's character. I think the reason he finds it annoying people bring it up is because he probably didn't think much of it at the time and is essentially paying for it because people recently started taking it more seriously than he took it or was originally taken at the time.
>>152791060There's a phenomenon of women who were burned by the same guy attempting to lez out for revenge.Also its hot.
>>152785661>>152786729https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ekQWISrSxEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SkaPAPzxyoProg loves their brass, but these bands clearly have drummers too. The lack of drummer in Scott's band is the weirdest thing.
>>152785661>>152793412You know it's a dream, right?
>>152792058Wow I’m surprised they didn’t put you on bass.
>>152785661the best damn band in town
>>152793412No, there's a drummer. Look in the back of the top panel >>152770074
>>152792030white truffle coconut sounds interesting to me
>>152788268>>152788300>>152791060Scott dating knives was never meant to be a serious grooming thing. It was a joke about manga and anime. O'Malley literally drew official sexualized art of 17yo Knives.
>>152769733>>152769740>>152769750It's crazy to think that 23 year olds now probably don't remember a time where you weren't constantly in contact with everyone else you knew through your phone and social media. For me a big part of the nostalgia in this story is that. I feel like so many of these scenes wouldn't work in the modern day.
>>152792636Dude is a coward. The comic is not meant to be taken seriously.
>>152769824 so I know choose used to hang out at malls but did people really just go window shopping back in the day for fun at Goodwill
>>152769477Honestly, this is the best Bryan Lee O'Malley style. His new cutesy super deformed style, as seen in this cover, somehow never cut it for me. I prefer the raw designs on this and the second volume.
>>152796054I think the movie actually said it best here >>152770197, so I'm a bit surprised to see that the comic didn't; in that, Knives is the mourning period. She's not a serious partner for Scott in the slightest and everyone can see it, even Scott. It's why he never does anything further than holding hands. Scott is just so devastated from his break-up with Envy that he's willing to latch on to the first person to give him any kind of positive attention. Break-ups fucking hurt, man, sometimes you just attach to someone to tell yourself that you're not worthless. And the moment Ramona shows up and Scott is willing to make himself vulnerable again, he drops Knives like a sack of potatoes because he never seriously considered Knives as a partner.
>>152796150Maybe not Goodwill specifically but it's an easy choice for a place to browse. Plenty of interesting stuff to look at, most of it is affordable in some way, can be good to purchase for either genuine fashion or function or simply for ironic purposes. Also, if you live in a city with either money or a pretty well-off university, you actually might get a quality haul for cheap. A Toronto Goodwill might get more bang for your buck than some Goodwill in a tiny Ontario town. Also, chances are low you get harassed or accused of trying to shoplift since everything is dirt cheap and second or third hand quality.
I don't understand the ending of EX. So the kids are Gideon kids? Why the game treats it as a mystery? Is it because Scott is dumb as fuck? Does the hell future after Gideon left means Gideon is the key to have a good future while if Scott goes missing for ten years no one gives a shit?Also doesn't all this means that Gideon is the real main character of this franchise and Scott is simply a loser we follow for some reason? What made Bryan have this change of heart for both main and antagonist?
>Scott Pilgrim is an individual you should not look up toWhy? I wanna date cute Canadian girls. Its not fair bros. Being an amerilard sucks.
>>152796150Before Goodwill got smart and started actually looking at what they were putting on the shelves, it was a gold mine. Me and friends would go to all the Goodwills and local thrifts stores on a Saturday and just see what you could find. I still go every once in a while.
>>152791060Because girls experiment like that when drunk??? I don't understand why zoomer have such problems with stuff that happen in real life? It's not even like Kim and Knives are dating. I know Bryan likes to tease it all the time but the fact that there was no sparks when Kim kissed Roxie should be enough to settle the fact Kim is straight.
>>152797245Honestly, we need to check O'Malley's home to see if he has any girls trapped in statis, just like Gideon.
>>152797707Something is really funny about you looking at anon's comment and thinking it's an issue of homosexuality and not "SHE WAS 17 YEARS OLD 364 DAYS 23 HOURS 59 MINUTES AND 59 SECONDS YOU SICK FUCK".
>>152798026Something is really funny about you looking at my comment and thinking I had an issue about the gay stuff. and not "17 years old girls do experiment like this in real life when drunk, you puritan bitches".
It's ok to make out with Knives. Remember, her mom gave the go-ahead.
>>152798414Anon you literally wrote>the fact that there was no sparks when Kim kissed Roxie should be enough to settle the fact Kim is straight.There was no reason to say that outside of you thinking the other anon was angry that she's having a gay makeout.Are you ESL?
>>152798468No idiot. I mentioned that because you all seem to have a big problem with the idea of Kim and Knives dating, which is why I mentioned why it's retarded to get a fuzz about it because it's impossible for that to happen. The main topic is about idiots getting all puritans because Knives is 17 and she makes out with Kim, so follow the main topic if you can.
>>152798491Where did I say I have a problem with that, schizo? Please calm down your temper I just wanted to find humor in someone thinking that gay stuff is more offensive than a small age gap between an adult and an almost adult.
>>152776784What was he trying to say with this?
>>152798468Technically it doesn’t mean she’s straight, it just means she doesn’t have sparks with Roxie.
>>152797761What if Gideon was in the Epstein files?
>>152799510plus O'Malley always seems to imply Kim and Ramona have clear chemistry with each other, hence why Ramona was ready to loop Kim into a possible threesome with her and Scott. Kim's probably mostly straight but depending on the girl, could easily be open to things.
Is it bad that i thought Scott pilgrim was porn when i was younger? That's the only reason I started reading it. Was very disappointed to see no actual sex scenes when I finished
>>152769824Man, it's wild how much of the first volume the movie got into its first act. Like, most of the dialogue here is near word to word.
>>152797245>Also doesn't all this means that Gideon is the real main character of this franchise and Scott is simply a loser we follow for some reason?>What made Bryan have this change of heart for both main and antagonist?This means that Gideon and Julie are like Lex Luthor, and Scott is like Superman. They don't understand why a loser like Pilgrim can be happier than them. They're obsessed with Scott; he's the weed in their perfect garden.If Scott doesn't exist, they're happy; if he does, they become obsessive lunatics.
>>152800705Oof.
>>152800705I suppose Gideon and Julie's children want to kill Scott so they can have a future where their parents aren't obsessed with some random guy.Scott is the source of all their problems, but ironically, they also exist because of him.
>>152787731If I was in Scott's position yes I would but only if I lived alone so my gay roommate can't be my conscious
>>152800705But this doesn't make sense in current canon. In fact, the one that is obsessed with exes and Ramona is Scott. Gideon himself said so at the end. He has Jules now. What's more, Gideon ends with a lovely life and three kids while Scott ends separated from Ramona and crying like a simp for ten years.
>>152803254Anon, Julie hates Scott more than anyone, her life revolves around being a bitch to him.And Gideon is an easily influenced loser; he'll do whatever Julie says.
>>152803613>her life revolves around being a bitch to him.Not really. After he disappeared, she forgot about him almost instantly. Didn't even care that Ramona was looking for him.Not saying she wouldn't be petty against him, but I don't see Julie obsessing over Scott. He is just another loser idiot to her.
Comic Gideon, Movie Gideon and Cartoon Gideon are all three different people.Actually scratch that, only consistent character at all is Matthew Patel and that's because he got so little screentime in both the comic and the movie.
>>152787731A genius musician who wrote a multiple Tony award winner musical and works as a producer for the biggest stars in music at age 17????Fuck yeah, sign me the fuck up.
>>152804338There is also the possibility that the Gideon in the game will be different.
>>1527848021, 2, and 3 by far. Volume 3 has the best art I think, it still has the more “realistic” proportions of 1 and 2 but is more polished.Volume 4 really starts the more cutesy art that technically looks great but the style is so different from the first half. It is well done but I REALLY dislike how much he leaned into it as the series went on, especially in the final volume.
>>152805580The game is already out.
Does Roxie's ninja skills translate to the bedroom?
>>152790836Oh word?
>>152806184Nah, she is a jobber.
>>152798784that they're all a buch of ugly faceaches
>>152785384>>152785378>>152785368You couldn't do these jokes today. People would complain about Scott being portrayed as a bro instead of a beta.
>>152769477Scott Pilgrim gets storytimed like once a year, and I'm super down for it each time. Thanks OP.
>>152806974
>>152770197Julie is so pretty bros...
>>152805580It's a sequel to Take Off so Gideon is Take Off's Gideon. Which I guess is suppose to be a redeemed comic Gideon?I still need him to at least address what happened with the hidden frozen girls before I accept his redemption.
>>152806883She beat Ramona
>>152806990I think it should only be storytimed when something relevant comes out. It was storytimed in 2023 when Takes Off came out and now it's being storytimed again because of Ex.
>>152799517old timeline Gideon sure was
>>152807729
ideas for scott x roxie greentext?
>>152808382Ramona got 'beaten' by seven dudes!
>>152809607So he freed them in secret? I mean, I don't think Ramona would be friends with him if she knew it happened.
>>152810569Pregnant Roxxie cravings, mood swings and aggressive cuddles
>>152806184Hollie is mine, that dyke can get someone else.
>>152811822The dyke gets broken by Pilgrim dick
>>152811822
>>152810569Scott's cute stupidity finally breaks Roxie and she goes for the first kiss
>>152813190Cutest.
