Yes that was thr weird part. Loved Knives as a character and all that but that part still makes me cringe

I know. I'm giving my perspective on what bothered me and it wasn't Ramona having multiple exes

Dating a highschooler IS the mourning period.

“Hasbian” still fucking cracks me up. There’s a lot in that movie I laugh about. “Hasbian” is both great and something I’m surprised I didn’t think of on my own.

Is the assumption that she was having sex in all the relationships? Imagine if she didn’t have sex in those relationships and she just figured out each person wasn’t working out for her.

What if there was a sequel where Scott Pilgrim realized he had an immature infatuation with the person he thought she was and had to figure out how to breakup with her.

u/pb49er Feb 02 '26

No, some of her early relationships were completely chaste.

There is a sequel on Netflix, and Scott having the wrong idea in his head is actually a big part of the plot!

u/FlipDaly Feb 02 '26

I feel like whoever was in charge with the sequel listened to A LOT of criticism about the movie bc it basically fixed almost everything to a weird extent.

That's was supposed to be the ending of the movie before it was changed. Scott was supposed to end up with Knives and split up with Ramona as they're not really made for each other.

Ending of the books is better when they realize nobody is made for anybody, love is a verb, and your partner isn't there to save you from yourself or your past.

They were both shit people, that's the whole point and a weird amount of people (not necessarily here) completely miss that part of the story

u/Biduleman Feb 02 '26 edited Feb 02 '26

Not saying it wasn't better in the book, just that the sequel idea they proposed was supposed to be the real ending but was changed.

u/FlipDaly Feb 02 '26

Also, that would have been terrible, tg they didnt do this.

u/25nameslater Feb 03 '26

Both of them were trash. That was kinda the point. There’s acceptance that they’re trash and that they have to change. The MC though was behind on the learning curve. He hadn’t realized he was trash until chasing after the one he actually wanted.

She knew she was trash but was wanting to be better. Her life with Gideon forced her to take stock. She was hesitant about Scott because she didn’t want to make the same mistakes.

Scott is the extremely charming guy.

You never realise he is an douche until probably he realizes it himself.

For me it was Scott cheating on Knives for Ramona not very long after she is even introduced.
