Film Scott Pilgrim Page Overhaul (Intelligence, Abilities, LS, and Stamina) + Addition to the Film's Canon

[Lonkitt]

So recently, an AP thread of mine got accepted for the Film Universe of Scott Pilgrim. As for this thread, I primarily want to update Intelligence, Abilities, LS, and Stamina. More shockingly though, I would you to propose an overshadowed addition to the film's canon. Lets get into it


For the following page overhaul update, I included feats from Scott Pilgrim vs. The Animation (not to be confused with the anime series on Netflix). But why's that? Isn't the animation just covering that one part from the comics that was totally made up due to Gideon's powers, AKA, The Glow? Here's the thing:

1. The Glow is completely absent from the film's canon. Ramona is controlled by Gideon using a mind control chip instead.

2. The end of Scott Pilgrim vs. The Animation advertises the film as telling us what happens to all of the characters we just saw in the short, even stating its "NOT THE END!"

3. When the text boxes for Lisa and Scott come up, Lisa's notes that she's "not in the movie", further adding to the canonicity of this short to Universal's Continuity

So this wasn't just an advertisement for the film based on one of the comics. It acts as an actual prequel to the film. Here's the sandbox I made for Film Scott Pilgrim:

Thoughts?

The page looks alright to me but I know next to nothing about the verse so I cannot really speak on the second topic, though if no objects are brought up, I'm not going to argue against it.

I think it looks good.

The AdultSwim short does seem more like a movie prequel than a comic prequel, so I'm fine with it being added.

I agree with the revised page! Although I do have a question (Which effects my revisions for the comic page). What do we consider Scott's ability to turn people into money?

I agree

In regards to the film continuity, it might just be a verse specific thing. I don't think its specifically a hax type ability since you do need to be strong enough to actually kill the person you're attacking. For example, after Scott killed depowered Todd, Envy stated "you just headbutted my boyfriend so hard he burst". If this was specifically a hax-based thing, then Scott probably would've exploited that the moment he could land a blow on Gideon

Food for thought, at the moment

I agree and as for the coin thing, that’s basically just a cosmetic choice.

That certainly is a unique perspective. I will say there are instances where the ability is done without engaging in combat, but the point of it being within the Scott Pilgrim universe is a reasonable take.

Also, I think you forgot to add the extra life.

I didn't add the extra life given it was a one use sort of deal and its somewhat hard to decide how to implement it on the page. Unlike the comic, Universal's Continuity treats the extra life more like a sidescroller where you restart the "level" (in Scott's case, a specific point before fighting Gideon), rather than just continuing right where he left off. In a battle thats not at all connected to the League games, its difficult to determine an objective point where he would reset to

 

[AParticularInduvidial]

Hmm, is that essentially proposing that the league has its own rules that allow for certain abilities to work?

I'm more so suggesting that the League games may be the only thing determining where Scott's extra life reset him to, given Gideon was the last evil ex, but note that I only hold that opinion over the extra life given its pretty much an oddity in the verse. I don't think the League rules determine anything else abilities wise

Primarily though, the fact that this was a single use item is why I didn't include it on the page

 

[AParticularInduvidial]

I understand.

 

[Sir_Ovens]

Yeah this works for me.

 

[AParticularInduvidial]

Bump.

 

[Lonkitt]

Bump.

We already have enough approvals, I’m just waiting for the 48 hour period to pass at this point. I appreciate the support though

 

[AParticularInduvidial]

Oh, whoops. Didn't even know about that!

 

[Lonkitt]

All good

 

[SYPHe5D]

Looks good.

 

[Lonkitt]

I've made the additions. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to help

Closing this now
