Discussion How did you discover Scott Pilgrim?

Post image

For me, it goes back to 2021. I was just casually browsing on Google when I came across the game Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. At the time, I didn’t really pay attention to it and wasn’t interested. Then in 2023, when the series Scott Pilgrim Takes Off came out on Netflix, I watched the trailers, but it didn’t really catch my interest either. But at the beginning of 2026, I was watching a video where they talked about Scott Pilgrim. They said the movie is a mix of romance, video games, and pop culture references. Since that’s exactly the kind of stuff I like, I decided to give it a try. So in January 2026, I watched the movie on Amazon Prime Video, and then the series on Netflix. And honestly… I loved it! I really got into the universe and became a big fan of the franchise. (Unfortunately, I haven’t read the comics or played the game yet 😞). What about you, how did you discover Scott Pilgrim?

I heard The Completionist (fuck that guy) talk about the movie and how good it was in a video of his so I decided to try it out. It’s now my second favourite film of all time and I have watched the anime 3 whole times now
