Alternate evil edition cover.
>>152901169>special thanks to Kanye WestIs there a reason for this?
>>152901184He made Graduation, bro
>>152901100Man I thought the title bar was opaque and a twin was wearing a shirt with Scott on it
>>152901098>Pine>>152901100>TwinsExtremely obtuse Back to the Future reference, or did Bryan trip out on some bad poutine and have an oracular vision of Gravity Falls? OR AM I MAKING SHIT UP FOR MY OWN TWISTED AMUSEMENT?!
>>152901236>>152901250God, not only can I hear how punchable they are, I can SMELL it.
>>152901277Judging by Ramona's face in >>152901275 she can smell it too
this the one where scott and ramona have a threesome with kim, right
>>152901329Is Mobile a cuck?
>>152901935how often was Wallace molesting Scott?
>>152902273Julie is such an awful bitch. Making her a main villain in everything post-comics has been inspired
>>152901157It was probably cooler at the time, but some part of me is annoyed at the arbitrariness of the video game elements. Scott "wins" his birthday? That was a contest, much less one you can lose?
>>152901355>>152901367You wonder why they even hang with Scott, they all just seem to barely tolerate him. I get every group has an asshole but still
>>152902421back before everyone was lobotomized by screens you would go out with people you didn't really like just because it was the only thing to do
You really feel the contempt for Scott in this one, his dopey emotionally stunted lovable idiot act is getting old and everyone's starting to wake up
>>152901636>I don't even like your bandWhat a supportive girlfriend.
>>152901787>Advanced American slut technologyCanadian slut technology is behind the curve. Unless you're Lisa Miller.
>>152902678>>152902694Based Scott People who still claim Scott is supposed to be likable clearly never read these pages
>>152901868Why did you not use your brand new sword you dumbass
>>152902763>"Damn, I really should have fucked Lisa..."
>>152902022When did Neil start smoking?
>>152902152Ramona "I don't like wristbands" Flowers
>>152901954Often enough to make keeping that jobless bum around actually worth it.
>>152901956>Katamari but you play as Miss Piggy's idiot nephewsInteresting game concept.
>>152903136Kim is too good for this comic
>>152902593Laying out that despite all of Kim's grievances with Scott, she still considers him an invaluable, irreplaceable friend. Not sure if she was even consciously aware of it until that point.
>>152902421They probably liked him more before he did all that shit to Knives desu. They all probably thought he was just a bit annoying but had his moments before, but now they're watching him get away with breaking a teenage girl's heart. And then he walks into a place with no interview and is hired on the spot. He loses his housing but he gets to live with a hot girl who likes him for no reason.Scott gets everything he wants no matter what. For little to no effort. None of the exes are solo'd by him, by the way, except the twins.
>>152903064>>152903097>>152903114>>152903136>>152903221This is why I want to get a physical of this volume eventually
>>152902733You just answered your own question.
>>152901636Why didn't he just fuck Lisa or Wallace insteadI get not going for Knives because she clearly doesn't get it but jfc, Cuntmona over here
>>152903338I would prefer honesty over feigned interest. If it's not your thing, it's no one's fault. She's not telling him he sucks and he should stop playing, just that she doesn't like it
>>152903363In reality, the story ends here. No one with any self respect would stay with Ramona
>>152903206Poor Kim.
>>152903519>>152903535Kim really goes through the wringer here
>>152903180>except the twins.They'd have still effortlessly bodied him if not for Kim's ruse.
>>152903396The scene that inspired YIIK
>>152903749Scott's mom looks a lot like Kim.
>>152901184For making graduation
The comic never points this out but this is a particularly rough issue for Kim>No one givevs a shit about the band anymore due to their own issues, band left in limbo>Band performance cancelled because Scott is a disaster>Constant fights with her friends/roommates>Gets cheated on and has to live with the girl responsible>Kidnapped by two psycho's, when her ex shows up, has to lie to get him motivated because she's not enough on her own>Said ex then shows up on her doorstep, have to awkwardly share a bed with someone you clearly still have some level of buried affection for underneath all the pain he inflicted on youI don't blame her for moving
End of book five.
Wow, this one was really short. Been listening to Plumtree while reading, Predicts The Future is a pretty alright album
>>152904352>>152904368Interesting how these sketches resemble the style of volumes 2 or 3 more than volume 5
>>152903921Favorite songs from it?
>>152903763She's probably around the same height too
End of storytime. Tune in next time for the sixth and last volume, Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour.
>>152903331>>152903685Both Ramona and Kim left him with a smile, but it feels more prominent for Kim cause she rarely smiles, especially around him.
>>152904471Well, obviously Scott Pilgrim is a standout. I liked Racing Gloves and The Game's Over a lot, Fatherhood too.Reading these threads has gotten the noggin joggin'. I think I'm going to write a song for BLOM. I've had this pile of ideas that seems like it's gonna end up a prog-sized epic, and I hadn't a previous idea for words anyway.
>>152903642Sex Bob-omb should've started out smaller. 17 minutes is respectable for an EP.
>>152901355>>152901367I'll be honest. Scott should've kept Knives.
>>152901157I love Ramona's look of confusion and Kim's look of "oh he's back on his bullshit again"
>>152901157>>152902328Where do we think he fell in the 24-year-old rankings that year? Who was the best 24-year-old that year?
>>152901184>>152901208>>152903769Considering O'Malley's sketches trace back to fall of 2007, which songs do you think he played the most when making this book?
>>152901189>Canadian politics circa 1972Did Scott dress up as Pierre Trudeau?
>>152905213He pushed both his girlfriend and one of his oldest friends away that year. Pretty low on the rankings.
>>152901225The girl in the direct center almost looks like Knives from behind
>>152901275I like how Kim is actively defending Ramona here and does so throughout the book. She's an actually good friend, despite her cold exterior
>>152901295>"Tell me about it"Wonder if she's talking about Scott or Jason Kim here.
>>152901354For a gay man, this isn't that unusual
>>152901184 I never noticed that thanks for pointing it out. It's always nice when an artist that you like likes an artist that you like.
>>152901208 Kim is such a poser. The kind of people who clearly enjoy social situations and even seek them out but then complain about them are the worst.
>>152901355Not gonna lie, Knives is making it into loft parties in Toronto at 17 and is hanging out with people in bands who are at least a few years older than her. There's no way Tamara doesn't think she's the coolest person she knows. Knives probably thinks she's not that cool but I think most of her friends and peers would see it the other way.
>>152901329Text messages from back then felt so much more personal than they do now
>>152901605>>152901622These panels did numbers on Tumblr way back
>>152902421There are definitely moments where you see that people really enjoy Scott's company and Scott enjoys theirs. But they're also all aware that Scott is kind of an asshole
>>152902597>>152903338She's supportive of the band but that doesn't mean she has to enjoy their music.
>>152902457 I think it's pretty clear that Scott's friend group actually likes him a lot.
>>152902914did he call it the glow just for this reference?
>>152901416>>152901426 Scott would doom scrolls something crazy
>>152901711Were bands really moving like that in Toronto where a few months out of the cycle would mean you were cooked?
>>152901727>>152901742Scott really fucked them over here lol
>>152903180Hey he gets Patel pretty easily. And Lucas, you could say he was outsmarted
>>152903338>>152902597 You can't choose what music you like and honesty is always better than lying?
>>152902695>>152901787what are the rankings for slut technologies worldwide? I feel like Canada must be in the top 25 but the US is in the top 10.
>>152901901Imagine he tried to stay at Knives's place kek
>>152902597Eh, it's nice she's honest. Sure, she could have phrased it differently but I'd rather that than fake adulation. I was roommates with guys in a band and even though I didn't enjoy their music I still helped lug their gear and man their booth at concerts because they were my friends.
>>152905579This is how being a local band who's only fans are your friends is and always has worked
>>152901727>>152901742>>152905596 I would say everyone here shares the blame. If you can only blame one person I blame Steven he stopped them from practicing for 3 months to record the album as if they couldn't do both.
>>152901983Honestly, this picture of Gideon makes the casting decision of Jason Schwartzman look even more spot on
>>152905703Also, Kim and Stephen should've known that Scott is forgetful and should probably have directly asked each other too.
>>152901889 They also both tell Scott a different things so clearly they weren't communicating with each other. Scott also should have mentioned that they both told him a different song. That's why I think they all share the responsibility here.
>>152905760for you>>152905726
>>152902100but Jason seemed so nice and inoffensive wtf
>>152901889>>152901901 I honestly can't see how this is Scott's fault.
>>152901918>>152901935>>152901956 Wallace is a real ride or die I wish I had a friend like him.
>>152902246Why does Ramona hate Neil?
>>152902226>>152902246Do we think it's another high school Asian girl, or has he moved onto college Asian girls now/>Captain HomoI wonder how he took the news when he found out Stills was sucking cock?
>>152902259Is the way she's treating them being Japanese the same way people act about Koreans now? Was this a big thing in the 1990s-2000s?
>>152901901 I don't think she's wrong to be upset here especially after she found out he cheated on her but not explaining why is a real bitch move
>>152905800Kim and Stephen were trusting him to get the band coordinated on what song to play. Scott didn't, leaving them to argue after they were already on stage, and then he broke his bass attacking a robot cause he's a retard who forgot he had a sword, so the show had to be canceled completely. They might've salvaged it if Scott didn't break his fucking guitar.
>>152902531>>152902554I love how she didn't even turn down sleeping in the same bed, just that she was too drunk and sick to at that moment. No doubt, if they were a little less drunk, they'd have a threeway.
>>152902573>>152902554>Julie lives near Dundas & UniversityTorontobros, is this good?
>>152902629>>152902645Is this the horniest any panel gets in Scott Pilgrim?
>>152903770yeah Kim's life sucks (besides getting to work at a video store)
>>152905871>Kim and Stephen were trusting him to get the band coordinated on what song to play. Scott definitely share some of the blame for them starting off on different songs. But at no point during the sound check or the rehearsals or when they're on stage did Stephen asks Kim "we're doing Erasmus alright?">and then he broke his bass attacking a robot cause he's a retard who forgot he had a sword This was more complicated because fighting in SP isn't the same as real life. It's never established that he has an inventory or something like that so for all we know he doesn't have the sword with him. But even if he does have an inventory he was attacked and he defended himself with the weapon he had on hand. I personally think it's unreasonable to be upset at him for that.
>>152903804 kek Scott has had his bass for like, what, 4 years now? And on top of that he's giving it back to him broken, worst brother ever.
>>152903915I love this poster
>>152903136This "Come on, he's Scott Pilgrim" line does hit well in this scene. She really is one of the biggest believers in him, despite it all.
>>152904471For me it's Your Mouth Shoots Off and You Just Don't Exist
>>152903206>>152903221This part is always a little heartbreaking. Clearly Kim feels incredibly lonely and even Scott doesn't prioritize her needs and feelings here. This probably wasn't the final straw in her decision to leave but it probably felt like one of the last things to push her to leave.
>>152906047I literally just realized that's why scott was freaking out in those last two panels. I thought he was just embarrassed at kicking his brother
>>152903235It's worth doing, especially if you get this edition. You might be able to get the old black and whites cheaper though, and from a used book seller.
>>152906095Fucking based. You just don't exist is my favourite track off that, too.
>>152903097These guys are dicks, but they're not wrong here. The girl Scott should've been fighting for is right here, in the cage, pleading with him to get up and save her. And Ramona didn't call or come for him, and when he returned she fled.He should've tossed Kim his coat though.
>>152903136>>152906070>>152906118This is one of the most important (and best) parts of Scott's arc, it's bizarre they just replaced it with a meme-y anime fight in the movie. No wonder Movie Scott becomes a divorced giga-chud
>>152903338>WallaceHe might've fucked Wallace, who knows
>>152906172>it's bizarre they just replaced it with a meme-y anime fight in the movie.That was partially the fault of them casting twins that didn't speak English.
>>152903488I wish we got more time with his boss, I dunno
>>152903761>A million girls out there.Scott Dad doesn't know how much Scott fucked up; Kim, Lisa, Knives. Bro, had so many Good Ending routes he could have taken at any point.
Would have dropped the ball /co/? It's obvious Kim wanted to be embraced and comforted.
>>152903319>>152903331 Of course this is symbolic but ghosting someone who you had a very serious relationship with is a real asshole thing to do
>>152906226Kim, for all her hating, is a pushover when it comes to Scott. He'd backslide into being an immature fuckup pretty quickly. For all their friction Ramona keeps him in check
>>152903804This page was always an underrated joke. Like, we all know the bass is destroyed and he just allows Lawrence to leave without mentioning this.
>>152906280Scott is a good(ish) guy at heart while a fuck up. He just needs encouragement/motivation to put that autistic energy to work and providing for Kim would fix him... eventually.
>>152903597 it's crazy to me that this isn't a relationship that is expanded upon in the sequels
>>152904298>>152904312>>152904326>>152904335Probably sincerely good advice for artist anons out there, including ones in this thread.
>>152903671>>152903685>>152903707The comic is so focused on romance it sucks that there aren't more moments of genuine friendship like this
>>152906280She still pushes him to improve, Scott just didn't dedicate himself to doing so because he's not head over heels for her. And he even says he likes Ramona because she's exotic and alluring, he can't really pin down any specific characteristics he likes and she's a basket of dealbreaking issues he willingly chooses to ignore. They get into fights like every other night.
>>152906259He was still trying to save things with Ramona. But I think if Ramona and him didn't fight the night before, he would've walked her home or even taken her to breakfast.
>>152906280>For all their friction Ramona keeps him in check I don't know if I agree with this as much as Ramona is Scott's motivation she doesn't really demand anything of him. She also literally runs away the first time they have a serious fight
It's also a little contrived in order to force Ramona and Kim away from Scott, since Ramona didn't hear him when he said Kim was in trouble, and Scott ran down her phone's battery, so when she checked she didn't see the text from Kim. If she heard Scott or read the text she would've taken off after Scott to help him, cause Kim's her friend and she likes Kim.That might've convinced her to not leave, and convinced Kim that she's appreciated and to not leave either.
>>152906425They have plenty of serious fights, like in book 4. Ramona only runs away when Scott essentially 'wins' and forces her to acknowledge her own flaws
>>152906145I've loved that song for almost two decades now. Somehow Plumtree became one of my most listened to bands over the years, most of their albums are perfect for long drives.
>>152905316 that's unfair both of them left for their own reasons he definitely had a part to play in their decision but I don't think it's right to blame him for either Kim or Ramona leaving
>>152906452 I thought about it and I think it's pretty fair to say that Scott is responsible for Ramona leaving. Because he did cheat on her and she has every right to leave after that. Even if I don't like the way she did it. But I don't think it's fair to blame him for Kim leaving.>They have plenty of serious fights, like in book 4 I forgot they did have a fight about Lisa. What other serious fights did they have?
>>152906567For Kim it was an avalanche of reasons, but Scott was a big part of it, if not the deciding factor. When she said she was thinking about leaving Scott didn't protest or argue that he'd miss her, he just changed the subject.For Ramona it absolutely was him. Her learning he's a liar and a cheat broke her illusion that he's just a lovable goofball who keeps screwing up, but also got her to realize she's not really any better. So she split.
>>152906749Kim's issues with Scott are almost entirely her fault. Scott never treats Kim as anything but a friend and never leaves her on. When she needs help moving he's there when she's in trouble and needs to be saved he runs out to go save her. When she's fighting with her roommates and need someone to hang out with he's there. I agree with you about Ramona though
>>152902004>>152902022>>152902037>>152902049 To a lot of people this doesn't seem like a lot but Scott is constantly making an effort to go hang out with his friends.
>>152906159It's heartbreaking that she, probably his best friend, had to put her words into Ramona's mouth just to get him motivated. Kim didn't deserve any of this.>>152906473They're a band that seems by-the-numbers at first listen, but once you give them a few spins you start to get them
>>152906862Scott's issues are less about how he treats Kim and more how he treats everyone else, he hasn't changed and does the same thing he did to Kim to other people and he gets away with it.He's not malicious which is why she still likes him but its easy to see why she'd hold some resentment when he refuses to change
i like the slice of life moments more than the Evil-Ex fighting, even if it can get exhausting listening to Ramona sometimes.
>>152906928Butt he didn't do anything to Kim they dating in high school she moved away and they met again in college. Scott has never treated her as anything but a friend since. It's not Scott's fault that she still has feelings for him.
>>152901695I forget sometimes that despite seeming like the most mature out of the band, Stephen is still so rattled everytime they played. It's sad he's mostly in the background for the last book.
>>152906937That's why I don't like Takes Off, it loses its grounding to chase the fantastical at the expensive of characterization and interpersonal relationships, the real meat of the story. The fantastical stuff in the comic accentuates the characters; Scott has videogame elements, Ramona has Subspace.
>>152904073Envy's face is so different from the other characters it's almost like she's an elf or something
>>152906862Sometimes you need more than just friendship, you need affirmation when things get really rough. Kim's speech and body language indicated that she wanted Scott to convince her not to move, that she wanted to be comforted after a night spent in a cage after two psychopaths kidnapped her, that she wanted Scott to pay attention to her for a while. But nuance doesn't work on Scott Pilgrim, and that just twisted the knife for Kim, convincing her she should move on.Without that affirmation it's easy to get stuck in your own head and convince yourself things are worse than they actually are, or find it unsolvable and want to escape it all. So it wasn't really anything Scott did, but rather what he didn't do, that convinced her to go.
>>152904627ty op!
>>152905703Every small-time band I've known always has their setlist written in big block letters on a a piece of cardboard taped to the floor, probably to avoid exactly this kind of bullshit.
>>152906212she would have been yet another girl scott fumbled or fucked
>>152906982Sure, but he's insensitive in the sense that like the previous volume showed that he is much more self-aware than he lets on but just buries most of the info that bothers him so he can keep being a bum. It's not unusual or malicious, plenty of people are like this because it's just easier.>>152906990I still can't accept that Stills is younger than Scott (i think)
>>152907102>>152907447I agree that she wanted to be comforted but Scott has his own issues. He's going through a serious fight with his girlfriend it's not really fair to expect him to stay with Kim here. Scott is not perfect and could definitely be a little more emotionally available to Kim. But I think it's unreasonable to blame Scott for her being miserable in Toronto. That's all I'm saying. And all things considered I would say that Scott is a very good friend to Kim.
>>152907640I somewhat agree, I think the point I was trying to make was more about a pattern of repeating douche-ish behaviour from Scott over the whole comic. I don't think Scott is a bad friend, he's probably doing what he believes is his best and like you I don't think he is to blame for Kim being miserable.I do however think he should have made more of an effort at that precise moment to make sure Kim was OK, maybe walk her home or to a friend's at least, if he had brought her to Ramona's she would have understood since this is all kinda her fault in the first place. But yeah, even IRL we all sometimes get caught up in our own bullshit to notice that people we love are going through a bad time. Imo it's a bit difficult to judge Scott because the story always teeters between wacky comic logic and real-life 20s angst situations.
>>152901329It's cute Wallace still wants to be in Scott's life.
>>152901367>>152901376I'm a little surprised Stephen and Knives didn't happen, they're together a lot when the group hangs out.
>>152907831 I pretty much agree with everything you said I was just fighting back against the narrative that a lot of people have that Scott is responsible for every problem in the comic.
>>152902132>And the night before, I slept over at Wallace's!>Bed or couch?>I don't have to answer that-If there was a couch, did Scott choose to sleep on the bed with Wallace out of habit or was he just sick of sleeping on the couch?
>>152908262the way the comic is written it's very easy to pick a side and stick with it, I think that's part of why it's had so much staying power, kinda like how people still debate over the Friends 'was it a break' thing decades later.
>>152908262I didn't mean to imply that Scott is solely responsible, and he's certainly not to blame for Kim's problems. You're right, for all his fuckups he's a very good friend to her. And she knows it too, she's accepted him for who he is. It's why she didn't blame him for anything else and accepted his apology for being himself.Which honestly might be the single most romantic line in the comic to me.
>>152908685>Which honestly might be the single most romantic line in the comic to me. I think it's pretty reasonable to read it that way her romantic feelings probably do play a big part in her forgiving Scott. I really do wish there were more moments of friendship like that in the comic especially amongst the male characters.
This is the Scott Pilgrim that has people still making videogames about 40 years after it came out? This is just boring milktoast italian soap opera with action as intense as boring milktoast italian soap opera
>>152909061I bet you find Seinfeld unfunny too.
>>152909061The video game is more based than the comics. Knives even marries and settles down with Scott.
>>152909100No I enjoyed the jokes even if british comedy is just better in every way
>>152901580>He makes bad decisions... He's young!>He's 24.Bitch, 24 isn't young?
>>1529095367 years older than Knives.
>>152909536To a 17-year-old it isn't.
>>152901595i mean, it technically was Ramona's fault. She knew going through people's dreams via Sub-space had consequences like that and she still does it.Actually, what would have happened if she went through Kim's dreams at the start of the series?[
>>152901804>Who'll be there to help him get over you??Knives you dumbass, if you love Scott that much, you should know the answer could be you. You can get him on the rebound.
>>152909320>Knives even marries and settles down with Scott.Kim's ending has her dating Knives, so does this mean Knives wins in both scenarios? One where she forces Scott into marriage and another where she gets to bury her face in Kim's freckled cheeks?
>>152906990Stephen Stills is the one under the most pressure. He's the leader of the band and the only one who wants it to be a real career and not just something to do on weekends.
>>152905454tbf the only parties, clubs, and bars Scott and co. go to are cheap as hell. The preppy kids in her school have probably been to nicer places than that.
>>152909688He's kind of at fault for it falling apart though. He alone decided Sex Bob-omb should put out an album and canceled future rehearsals, which dug into Scott's, Kim's, Knives', and Neil's morale. Then Kim moved away and the band was done.
>>152903136Kim truly earns her title as The Woman Who Was Cucked To Death. Her fate will be to raise Scott and Ramona's future daughter after Ramona divorces Scott.
>>152904386>Maybe in like 10 years or so, if we've got nothing better to do, we could, like, get married?Helluva proposal there, Kim.
>>152903642>>152903656>>152903671>>152903685>Stephen Stills didn't see Kim offWhat a jerk.
>>152909061isn't it milquetoast?
>>152909688stills made the mistake of wanting to record an album before your band becomes viable enough to go on tour
>>152903425Hey, FFVI reference.
>>152906862That might be part of it. Kim's best friend being her old boyfriend from high school who she still has a crush on might've made her realize just how pathetic her life is and pushed her to move away.
>>152909594Kim's head isn't completely empty like Scott's. You can't cover enough space to be a viable option.
>>152909061This individual actually agrees with you. Which is why he's gonna make all in his power to turn the franchise into a real shonen battle comic, as it was always meant to be.
>>152903032>>152903097>>152903136>>152903206In a different timeline, Scott didn't need Kim's lie about Ramona to defeat the Twins.
>>152903642Wish we had 17 minutes instead of just 5 (I have not listened to anything Beck except Loser and his feature in The Valley of the Pagans)
>>152910911They should've gotten Plumtree to write a song for the movie
Was Edger Wright based this whole time?https://youtu.be/79SxL85wHkA?si=W55E0Ffwg541LMTS
>>152903375C'mon, he's Scott Pilgrim.
>>152911478Kim...
>>152901098Anyone else see that animation where kim pine takes horse cock? I hated it since shes still mostly fully clothed in it. Her tits shouldve been out in the animation at least.
>>152903097Would things really have gone differently if Scott fought for Kim? Like saving your friend shit, that didn't require a lie to motivate him?
>>152911578He would've defeated the twins faster without needing a second wind, and Kim would've seen that Ramona isn't the only thing in his brain now. And would've been happier that Scott was fighting for her sake.
>>152910022Yes. Apparently named after an old comic strip character who was named after the food item milk toast.
>>152909740True but to your standard high school girl, even having access to those kinds of spaces would be aspirational. Even the lamest of Julie's parties probably tops the best ones that Knives's friends have access to.>The preppy kids in her school have probably been to nicer places than that.Knives's social class in her school's hierarchy puts her probably with the Asian overachievers, so she's probably not too close to the "popular" or "preppy" types. So Knives is kinda punching above her weight when it comes to that group.
>>152909979>>152904386Is she propositioning Ramona? Or Scott? Or both? How would they respond?
>>152912591Scott's mind would break.Ramona would flee, fearing commitment.
>>152912591Kim, you can't be gay with Ramona. Then you''d have to fight all of her Evil Exes too.
>>152902328It was definitely the style at the time. There were quite a number of early 2000s webcomics with tonally similar attempts at humor, although most weren't on the same level with characterization or story.
>>152912639Scott would probably be pissed that essentially Kim gets a free ride off of him beating all seven of her evil exes kek
>>152912783The only thing Kim has to deal with is drunk calls from Roxanne in the middle of the night, asking if she'll marry her too.
>>152912591She's asking you, the reader, if you want her to be your waifu. But you have already moved on to a FOTM Netflix cartoon girl and forgotten all about Kim Pine.
>>152912167lol wtf
>>152912783Technically she'd have to beat Scott and Kim has no fights throughout the whole story iirc so no idea how that would go.
>>152912772Yeah this was the golden era of webcomics, a lot of the more popular weekly comics had references or were outright all about video games of the 90s and 00s.
>>152902812>>152902842Oh I just realized that Kim sent that text at 4:30 and Scott only woke up at 7. So Kim didn't know if help was coming for three hours.
>>152903787Scott's brother is an asian with a different last name?
>>152906259This issue had trust issues and everyone cheating all over, if anything Scott did a great job of not fumbling by ironically dropping the ball here
>>152914507His full name is Lawrence West Pilgrim.
>>152901511>>152901525Okay so I get why Scott ended up breaking up with Envy when she wanted to go pro, but why didn't Stills go with her?
>>152914569Doesn't explain why he's asian
>>152914574Envy just wanted to wash her hands of her past completely. Scott, Stephen, all of it.
>>152914618Man, Stills got a raw deal
>>152914629I don't think he's that bothered by it. As other people said, he didn't even see Kim off here.
>>152915107But doesn't that show how he doesn't care much about Kim and Scott much like how Envy didn't care about them when she got the chance to go pro? There's baggage with Scott sure but Stephen could've begged her to tag along
This is cringe.
>>152907021people (including O'Malley himself) seem to forget that Scott is literally the only one who interacts with the videogame stuff in the original comics
>>152907972you've never met a girl with a gay best friend? Knives likes him because he doesn't have baggage like Scott and isn't trying to hit like Neil and Kim
>>152916348Scott Pilgrim was always meant to be an action shonnen. O'Malley didn't forget anything, he's just going back to his original plan.
>>152914574>>152914618I get the sense he's not quite talented enough for that either. He's too good for Scott and Kim, but still not on Envy's level.
>>152917154>Scott Pilgrim was always meant to be an action shonnen.This is delusional it's a character drama with occasional action scenes.
>>152917291Nope. It's what O'Malley wanted to do and he himself said so. He's course-correcting now as seen in both Takes Off and EX
O'Malley's course-correcting was trying to fix Ramona's character development while half-assing Scott's, entirely because it turns out Ramona is a bit of a bitch for most of the series and that made Twitter mad.
>>152914507>>152914578He doesn't look Asian. His pupils don't look anything like the Chaus, Tamara, or Jason Kim.
>>152901098This comic feels directed at reddit cucks who pog over fucking borderlands, how can anyone like this shit
>>152920336God, I hope you're just being ironically stupid.
>>152917436What's it called when someone accidentally executes a better idea than their real one
>>152920336Based image anon, even if i like the scott pilgrim movie and the porn based off the comic
>>152920473Thank you anon, equally based imageAlso the porn is the only good part. It actually has the main protagonist be somewhat cool and not a fucking wimp loser nerd who fails at existing
>>152920452George Lucas syndrome.
>>152922059Makes sense.
Kim...
>>152920756I love kim pine porn the most, shes the hottest scott pilgrim waifu. Also heres the only other SFW image of this caliber i can post, if you have any similarly based star wars images please dont hesitate to share
>>152901804>thicc American woman dominates nubile Asian girl
>>152926020>>152901804I vaguely remember someone in a recent Scott Pilgrim thread drew a picture of Ramona making out with Knives in this moment.
>>152901344I wonder why he bothred to color in the whites of her eyes on the last panel when she's never supposed to have them.
Does Scott have autism? Or is he just retarded?
>>152928106He's pretending to be retarded
>>152928106He is just very very dumb.Like Roxxie.So it would make sense that they're fucking each other.
>>152928131>Ramona experimented with girls, to get her back I'll experiment with guys!>Chooses Scott Pilgrim
These threads are making me remember how O'Malley is not that good of a writer.
>>152928877I think there’s good writing in here, it’s just that a lot of it is the more unsaid subtle stuff like what’s going on with Stephen or Kim reasons for leaving and less the LOL VIDYA
Didn't this comic ruin a whole generation of women?
>>152928877No what's annoying is his insistence on discarding his previous good writing in favor of shallower rewriting.
>>152930292yes, it was mandatory viewing in all schools grades 1 through 9.
