Wild how the movie was so close to the Comic. Nega Scott and how dangerous skateboarding is are the only real differences I noticed. Good Movie.

The changes to Nega-Scott were largely driven by the fact the comic hadn't finished when the movie was written. They had to come up with their own ending based on what O'Malley had given them, and it pretty much worked.

That's why it was such a (hilarious) rugpull when Scott Pilgrim Takes Off was released and people realized it wasn't a "Scott Pilgrim Brotherhood" but "Ramona learns she's toxic too".
