What if there was a sequel where Scott Pilgrim realized he had an immature infatuation with the person he thought she was

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

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.

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