IC Information
CHARACTER NAME: Scott Pilgrim
AGE: 22
CANON: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010)
CANON POINT: After fighting Gideon (and dying) the first time.
FAMILY TYPES: All, because I could decide other ones after Unknown (Scott's like the epitome of "indecision in actions" for the majority of the movie).
APPEARANCE:
PERSONALITY:
When I'm around you, I kind of feel like I'm on drugs. Not that I do drugs. Unless you do drugs, in which case I do them all the time. Every drug.
What's the best way to describe Scott? Well, in the immortal words of Kim Pines, who he dated in high school: he's an idiot. He's also kind of a man child. And, according to Julie Powers, hes a "total lady-killer wannabe jerky jerk."
The thing is that Scott's not exactly a bad person, but he can sometimes come off as kind of a douchebag because he doesn't really think about his actions. Case in point: dating both Ramona Flowers and Knives Chau at the same time because he's indecisive and prone to just leaving things hanging if they're too complicated (as he tells Wallace about breaking up with Knives: "But it's haaaaaaaaaaaard"). Scott just wants things to be simple and likes them to be simple, hence him dating Knives Chau in the first place.
His roommate, Wallace, actually calls him out on this once Scott finds out that he has to defeat Ramona's seven evil exes if he wants to date her, telling him that if he wants something badly then he has to fight for it and break out the L-word (that's love, not lesbians). And although Scott complains about it, he sees the whole evil ex thing through until the end. Because he learns something over the course of the movie. Or he just has a single-minded fixation on Ramona, it's kind of up for debate because Scott doesn't seem to be capable of pulling that same deciciveness and dedication if it's not related to Ramona. Even at the very end of the movie, he still puts a hat on when Knives tells him that his hair is getting long and he should cut it.
When it comes to Ramona, though, Scott displays a single-minded focus on her. He tells Wallace that she the girl of his dreams, and orders a package from Amazon where she works as a delivery girl just to see her. When she delivers the package, Scott refuses to sign until she agrees to hang out with him. After she hangs out with him (and they don't have sex), Scott invites her to come to Sex Bob-omb's Battle of the Bangs gig in order to spend more time with her. He displays a panic and uncertainty about his relationship with Ramona that's never present when he's with he's with Knives and that probably wasn't present when he was with Kim, if her comments are anything to judge by. At several points, it's clear that Scott just wants to be who Ramona wants, although he realizes later that he should probably just be himself. It's safe to say that Scott's in sappy, write-songs-for-her love with Ramona, even if she doesn't really seem to reciprocate his feelings until the end of the movie (which is prooooobably a product of the mind control), and he shoves everything to the side in order to be with Ramona. Hell he even gives up the contract with Gideon, which is the closest thing that he has to a dream, because he's in love with Ramona.
Basically when it comes to Ramona? Scott can do anything. Unlike in the comics, Scott's incredibly fighting skills come as a surprise to his friends and can be taken as a product of his love for Ramona in the movie. He fights off seven of her evil exes, several of whom have extra-ordinary powers, and even comes up with some pretty ingenious ways of defeating earlier exes (see: tricking Lucas Lee into doing the skateboard trick).
Still, Kim is essentially correct: Scott's a fucking idiot. At one point he asks Wallace what the website for amazon.ca is, and he's often confused by Kim's deadpan sarcasm. Overall, Scott doesn't seem to have a good grasp of the world beyond his geeky sphere of interests (namely: video games and lots of them) and tends to be pretty slow on the uptake. That's not to say that Scott doesn't have his moments, because he's been known to drop a lengthy speech or two, but this is also the guy who said lesbians when he was confessing his love for Ramona. Scott's definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed, but his friends more or less put up with it. Except Julie Powers, but Julie Powers seems to hate everyone so.
Part of Scott's idiocy seems to stem from his fuzzy memory. The movie doesn't display this as much as the comics, but it's still there because Scott legitimately can't remember what happened between him and Kim. He also forgets several dates with Knives, although that could just be because Scott's not focusing on her. Still, if it doesn't have a soul-crushing impact on him (see: Scott's big bad ex, Envy Adams), then Scott can't seem to remember it.
Don't let any of this trick you into thinking Scott is a terrible person, though. He's more or less just the average twentysomething cishet white dude, and his privileges sometimes get the best of him (see: "sexy phase"). Overall, Scott actually tends to be a pretty nice and likeable guy. He's not ever delibrately cruel to people, and at the very end of the movie he shows that he understands what his friends need to hear (telling Stephen that they sound great, telling Young Neil that he's "just Neil," apologizing to Kim even if he didn't really understand what for) and also that he really should apologize for being a dick, even if he didn't mean to be. Scott has shown the ability to "man up" when he needs to, and although he prefers things to be simple, it doesn't mean that he always hides his head in the sand when they become difficult.
And now for a little bit about Scott's relationships. The one that informs a lot of his actions is his relationship with Envy Adams. It's not really described much in the movie, but their breakup is described as "brutal," and Scott says she broke his heart so even if their relationship was good at one point, it's become a dark cloud over Scott now. There's also Kim who, for some unknown reason, decided to be in a band with Scott even though he was a dick to her. Scott seems to think their relationship is fine, and admits he can't remember what happened between them, but Kim seems to take great delight in poking fun at him. There's also Stephen Stills, "the talent," who seems to be alternately annoyed with Scott and also relying on Scott for support. During their performances, Stephen glances toward Scott nervously and before their first Battle of the Bands performance, Scott slaps sense back into him. Admittedly, Scott did that for selfish reasons (to prevent Knives and Ramona from talking) but he still seems to be Stephen's support within the band.
His sister, Stacey, acts more like an older sibling even though she's younger and Scott seems to see her as someone he can turn to for help. She often offers him advice, which Scott generally doesn't take. Then there's Knives. Scott predominantly sees Knives as a friend rather than a love interest, and they actually make a much better team as friends than an item. He broke her heart, and it takes her the rest of the movie to get over it but it's pretty clear that they're good friends even when they're dating. (Because you don't actually have to be friends with someone to date them.) Wallace tells Knives that she's too good for Scott at the beginning of the movie, which is pretty much true. Which brings us to Wallace.
Wallace is Scott's best friend, pretty much. He tolerates Scott to a level that no one else does, seeing as he lets Scott mooch off of him and live in his apartment. Wallace is Scott's biggest support center, always there to offer advice (even if Scott doesn't want it). Basically, he's Scott's sassy gay best friend and proud of it and although Scott seems to complain about him, he also seems to genuinely like Wallace.
HISTORY: NOT SO LONG AGO IN THE MYSTERIOUS LAND OF TORONTO, CANADA*...
SAMPLES
FIRST PERSON:
What ability would you most like to have?
Oh man, this is a tough question. I already have the power of love, but that wasn't enough to defeat Gideon so I guess I just want whatever power will defeat Gideon? Unless you're talking about, like, superpowers. Because then I want to Hadoken. Or have a jet pack.
What would make up your ideal friend?
Wallace - oh, wait it says ideal. In that case, Wallace withough me waking up next to three guys and having to see other dude's junk all the time. Wallace is actually a pretty good friend when he's not kicking me out to have sex.
You have one choice. That choice will result in either the end of the world or it will save it. Which way would you go?
Save . . . it . . . ???? Is this a trick question? This sounds like a trick question.
THIRD PERSON:
Scott jerked to life and unlike every other time he'd done this in the recent past, Wallace (plus assorted boyfriends) wasn't next to him. In fact, he wasn't in Wallace's place at all, he was in . . . Where was he?
Oh god, he'd died. Gideon had killed him. And he still hadn't gotten any, which was probably like. Karmic justice for being a jerk who didn't know how to break up with his fake high school girlfriend and an idiot who couldn't take on seven evil exes. Lame.
. . . What the hell was wrong with his skin? It was, like. Glitching kind of like Young Neil's Gameboy had after that time they dropped it in the toilet, which had totally not been his fault and he'd helped pay for the new one so. Yeah. Seriously, though, why was his skin doing that? It was weird and it kind of skeeved Scott out.
"Welcome! Culu!"
OH GOD WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT. Scott scrambled backwards, limbs not quite obeying him, and the little . . . mascot character thing . . . bounded after him, asking if he wanted to play. No. No, Scott definitely did not want to play what the hell.
This is not what the afterlife was supposed to be like. It was supposed to be, like. White and stuff. Unless this was Hell, but Scott didn't think he'd been that much of a jerk and also wasn't Hell supposed to be fiery and stuff?
Hey.
Hey, wait. Hadn't he picked up an extra life after the battle with the Katayanagi Twins? Yeah. Yeah, right before he told Ramona he was in lesbians with her (good going Scott, you can't even confess your love properly). Where was it, where was it . . .
"Are you looking for something, culu?"
Nothing. Seriously? Oh man, he was so screwed.
