Scott Pilgrim/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]: Scott dated two -- Kim and Envy.

* [[Idiot Hero]]: Although though not stupid, Scott can be very uncaring about the feelings of others, and definitely not the most practical or responsible person. He also [[Does Not Understand Sarcasm]] at times.

* [[It's All About Me]]: Scott has an unfortunate tendency to whitewash his own romantic indiscretions and [[Jerkass]] tendencies while complaining about the same behavior in other people. He's a firm believer in his own [[Protagonist-Centered Morality]].

* [[Karma Houdini]]: Scott seems to get away pretty clean in regards to him dating Knives Chau and Ramona at the same time. {{spoiler|Until volume 5 that is.}}

* [[Lame Comeback]]: Constantly. Averted, somewhat, in the movie, where Scott gets ''some'' genuinely badass one-liners. Take, for example, his fight with Lucas Lee, after defeating his stunt doubles:

* [[Man Child]]: Played for laughs {{spoiler|at first...}}

* [[A Man Is Not a Virgin]]: For a teen novel, Scott has had a fair share of girlfriends whom he's slept with ({{spoiler|Kim in high school, Envy in college, and Ramona in issue 5}}).

* [[Never Gets Drunk]]: To the point where [[OOC Is Serious Business|it's a big deal]] whenever he does decide to drink.

* [[Never My Fault]]: A big part of his [[Character Development]] is learning to accept responsibility for his own failings.

* [[NEET]]: For most of the comic, he doesn't appear to have a job, even to attempt to find a job, and he's definitely not in college.

* [[Nobody Loves the Bassist]]: Which is why he got stuck with the role -- no-one else wanted it.

* {{spoiler|[[Bi the Way]]: Made out with Knives while drunk, and also showed interest in Ramona.}}

** [[Relationship Upgrade|Upgraded]] when she calls Knives to assist in the game.

* [[Badass]]: In the game. Admit it, someone who can obliterate goons with just [[Armor-Piercing Slap|Armor Piercing Slaps]] and can beat [[Big Bad|Gideon Graves]] with her ass, is pretty badass.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Notably in the films, Allison Pill's performance seems to have been influenced in no small part by [[Daria|Tracy Grandstaff]].

* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: While she doesn't hit him, it's her words that finally get Scott to come to terms with himself in Vol 6.

* [[Grumpy Bear]]

* [[Kissing Under the Influence]]

* [[Motivational Lie]]: Cleverly uses one to raise Scott's morale when he's fighting the twins.

* [[Redheaded Hero|Red Headed Heroine]]

* [[Nice Guy|Nice Girl]]: Yes, she can be snarky, cantankerous and not exactly the happiest person in the world, but, in the inside, she is (probably) the nicest character of the Scott Pilgrim universe, just read towards the end of the fifth volume.

 

== Knives Chau ==

 

A 17-year-old-girl who Scott dated on a whim at the start of the series to ease his loneliness. She becomes obsessed with him and assimilates herself into his circle of friends. She ends up sticking around, even after Scott breaks up with her to date Ramona. Oh yeah, and she's a ninja {{spoiler|and so is her father.}}

* [[Shiny Midnight Black]]: Her hair colour.

* [[Smitten Teenage Girl]]

* [[Storm of Blades]]: In the game when Stills summons her.

* [[Violently Protective Girlfriend]]

* [[That Man Is Dead|That Woman Is Dead]]: Natalie is dead and {{spoiler|remains so even after Envy's [[Heel Face Turn]], but Envy is happy that Scott is around to keep her memory alive}}.

* [[Tsurime Eyes]]

* [[Woman Scorned]]: For a while.

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Grade A.

* [[Peek-a-Bangs]]

* [[Pirate]]: [[Fashion Victim Villain|They're in this year.]]

* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]

* [[Reality Subtext]]: O'Malley was first inspired to make the comic when he learned that his girlfriend (now wife) had three ex-boyfriends who were all named Matthew, and he wondered if they could form some kind of league. He was also going to name the second ex Matthew Lee, but thought that was too far to go for such an inside joke.

* [[Punch Clock Villain]]: Lucas Lee is a genuinely nice guy, engages in small talk with the group and even offers Scott some baby carrots and Ritz. Right after throwing him into Casa Loma's tallest tower.<ref>He's actually considered evil because he's [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?|a sellout]].</ref>

** This changes in the movie since Chris Evans plays him as a hilariously douchey ham, though he also engages in a bit of small talk with Ramona and remarks that Scott "seems nice".

* [[Super Strength]]: Throws Scott five stories straight up into the top of a tower, which is demolished.

* [[Token Good Teammate]]: In the comics.

* [[Advancing Wall of Doom]]: He fills this role in the video game.

* [[Bastard Boyfriend]]: And that's not because he's an Evil Ex of Ramona. {{spoiler|He was cheating on Envy behind her back with their drummer.}}

* [[Conditional Powers]]: {{spoiler|Don't keep Vegan? Don't keep your powers.}}

* [[Deface of the Moon]]: He punched two craters in the moon with his Vegan powers, one for Ramona and one for Envy.

* [[The Dragon]]: While he is the evil ex of volume 3, Envy is the real villain while Todd acts more as a minion to her, {{spoiler|until the climax of the book.}}

* [[Evil Counterpart]]: Less pronounced than Gideon, but like Scott, Todd is a bass player. While Scott once dated Envy and now dates Ramona, Todd once dated Ramona and now dates Envy. Todd is also {{spoiler|two-timing Envy, like Scott briefly was with Knives}}.

* [[Flipping the Bird]]

** [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Because 90% of your brain is curds and whey...]]

* [[Jerkass]]: Really is in the running with Gideon as the biggest douche in the series.

* [[Psychic Powers]]: Benefit from being a Vegan

* [[The Rock Star]]

* [[Smug Snake]]: He just ''wishes'' he could do anything and get away with everything. Unfortunately, {{spoiler|the Vegan Police proves otherwise}}

* [[Smug Straight Edge]]

* [[Ninja Log]]: Utilized in the game.

** [[Teleport Spam]]: Almost constantly. She also teleports away a few times in the movie.

* [[Psycho Ex-Girlfriend]] ''and'' [[Psycho Lesbian]]

* [[Samus Is a Girl]]: When menaced by an anonymous black blur in their first fight, Scott simply throws his fist up. Turns out he punched her in the boob, [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl|much to his disgust.]]

* [[Shout-Out]]: In the movie and game, she uses a [[Whip Sword]]. Now take a moment to [[Castlevania Rondo of Blood|remember her surname]].

* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: The one female Evil Ex, which, in the comic, ''somehow'' is able to keep her from dying outright, getting her turned into several cute little animals instead.

* [[Woman Scorned]]: [[Character Exaggeration|Particularly in the movie.]]

 

-----

* [[Alliterative Name|Alliterative Names]]

* [[Dual Boss]]

* [[The Evil Genius|The Evil Geniuses]]

* [[God Never Said That]]: [http://scottpilgrim.ning.com/forum/topics/10-secret-things-for-each No, she does not have an unrequited crush on Scott.]

* [[Meganekko]]: In the later volumes.

* [[No Accounting for Taste]]: She and Stephen have broken up and gotten back together so many times that nobody even questions why they're still dating anymore.

* [[Badass Longcoat]]

* [[Determinator]]: Doubles as a [[Shout-Out]] as well.

** This becomes a [[Bilingual Bonus]] because what he says to her is not remotely related to the translation given.

* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]

* [[Knight Templar Parent]]

* [[Overprotective Dad]]

* [[Roaming Enemy]]: He stalks Scott through the entirety of Vol. 4.

* [[Teleporters and Transporters|Teleportation]]

** [[Teleport Spam]]

-----

* [[Artifact of Death]]: He has a freaky skull ring that came "from the future" and it whispers Scott's name as he shows it off to him. It's implied to be [[Made of Evil]], but it's never followed up on.

* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]

* [[Lampshade Hanging]]/[[Self-Deprecation]]: Scott runs past him in [[The Movie]] and overhears him talking about how "the comic book was much better than the movie".
