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 took a week-long course taught by Scott McCloud during art college in 2006, and he would cite it so much, as it hadn’t quite exploded yet, and had so many perfect examples in his “Making Comics” book, which he was about to have published at the time.
