The deadpan supply of the characters, animated thrives, and indie punk soundtrack pay homage to the supply materials, the Scott Pilgrim graphic novel sequence that started in 2004. However the movie’s plot revolves round Scott’s activity to defeat Ramona’s seven evil exes, so we’re rating them from the least to most poisonous.
Least Poisonous: The Katayanagi Twins (Keita and Shota Saito)
Contents
Scott learns close to the tip of the movie that Ramona dated not one, however each twins. Within the graphic novels, they’ve a a lot larger function, however within the movie, they don’t even have any strains. They merely battle Scott and his band via an Amp vs. Amp battle on the Battle of the Bands. The scene is epic as they tear the roof off and launch mystical twin dragons via their music. However Scott’s band, the Intercourse Bob-Ombs, launch their very own beastly mystical gorilla to defeat the twins and reward Scott with an additional life. The battle could also be legendary and memorable, however so far as their toxicity goes, they appear fairly harmless within the movie.
Lucas Lee (Chris Evans)
Ramona’s highschool ex-boyfriend, Lucas Lee, goes on to realize fame and fortune after their tweenage breakup. However in contrast to Ramona’s different exes, he appears disinterested in preventing Scott, solely compelled to battle when Scott occurs upon him when he’s on set. Lucas units his stunt doubles on Scott, selecting to choose out of preventing, and Scott defeats Lucas by difficult him to do a skateboard grind down 200 steps. Lucas may need some ego and laziness, however so far as toxicity goes, he’s principally the least of Scott and Ramona’s worries.
Roxy Richter (Mae Whitman)
By means of the primary half of the movie, Scott repeatedly calls Ramona’s exes ex-boyfriends, however she corrects him with “exes,” though it doesn’t click on till he meets Roxy. She holds onto anger, however not due to hatred, however as a result of she feels utilized by Ramona, who was simply exploring her sexuality throughout a bi-curious part. Scott refuses to battle Roxy, leaving Ramona and Roxy to battle, till Scott is compelled to take Roxy down utilizing her weak point, poking her behind the knee. When not preventing, Roxy is chill with Ramona and Scott, even pleasant. However she’s all in on the League of Evil Exes, and nonetheless resentful in the direction of Ramona, making her barely extra poisonous than Lucas and the Katayanagi Twins.
Matthew Patel (Satya Bhabha)
Ramona’s center college ex-boyfriend, Matthew Patel, is Scott’s first battler. Earlier than the battle, he even emails Scott to offer him a heads up, however he approaches the battle with delight, a clumsy costume, and a cringey music. His overconfidence and obsession with the previous make him far more poisonous than the earlier three; he’s connected to somebody from over a decade in the past and thinks he’ll defeat Scott with a lot ease that he sings and dances to battle. Though he has powers, his embarrassing pirate look permits Scott to defeat the poisonous ex with ease.
Todd Ingram (Brandon Routh)
The penultimate ex on the record, Todd Ingram is nearly Ramona’s most poisonous ex. In a tense assembly of the exes, Todd is at present courting Scott’s personal evil ex, Natalie “Envy” Adams whereas serving because the bass participant for her band. Todd was Ramona’s longest and most critical ex earlier than Gideon, who confirmed his love via empty grand gestures, similar to punching a gap within the moon for Ramona. However these gestures imply nothing compared to how he treats his girlfriends on a day-to-day foundation, placing his vegan ethical excessive floor and vengefulness over love. However regardless of utilizing his standing as a vegan to say he’s higher than different folks, he cheats on his veganism, which forces him to lose his powers, resulting in his defeat.
Most Poisonous: Gideon “G-Man” Graves (Jason Schwartzman)
Performed to perfection by Jason Schwartzman, Gideon is the speak of the movie by Scott’s bandmates and Ramona’s exes. We be taught that he really assembled the League of Evil Exes in a bid to defeat Scott (or any future suitors) and hold Ramona as his arm sweet eternally. Ramona reveals that Gideon “has one thing over her,” although she at all times felt lonely when she was with him. It seems that the “one thing” is definitely a microchip, a literal mind-control gadget, simply making him essentially the most poisonous ex. He’s possessive, controlling, grasping, and a few may even say abusive, so girls, avoid the G-Man.
