So if you want to know more details about the IP, you can read its official synopsis below:

“As bass guitarist for a garage-rock band, Scott Pilgrim has never had trouble getting a girlfriend; usually, the problem is getting rid of them. But when Ramona Flowers skates into his heart, he finds she has the most troublesome baggage of all: an army of ex-boyfriends who will stop at nothing to eliminate him from her list of suitors.”

Round Two!

I have high hopes with this, mostly in the case of pacing. I'll admit that I started to dislike the movie as an adaptation after I went and read the original comics and realized they cut out a lot because I guess they though it'd be a good idea to cram 6 books into 1 movie.

It Looks Perfect!

I wasn't sure what to expect with the art style, so I love that they just adapted the comic style.
this is going to be amazing!

It’s Coming!

I had no clue this was in production – can’t wait to watch it. The live action movie was a cult classic, and one of my favorites.
