Line 30:
== The series is set in the [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future|cyberpunk future]] of [[Toon Town]]. ==
Toons and animated characters are long gone since the [[The Golden Age of Animation|Golden Age]] of the 1940's, and instead [[Video Game Characters]] and [[Video Game Physics]] are today's cultural norm. Instead of [[Anvil
* But in Roger Rabbit, there was a clear distinction between Toons and "real" people. By contrast, all the characters in the Scott Pilgrim franchise are somewhere between being Toons and being "normal" people. Plus, there are no anthropomorphic animals to be seen in Scott Pilgrim, and Scott Pilgrim takes place in Toronto, not California where [[Toon Town]] is supposed to be located.
** In the future, interbreeding makes it very difficult to tell the difference. It's more a genetic trait that pops up.
Line 136:
Level two is considerably harder. Lucas Lee turns out to be an [[Early Bird Boss]] for Scott, and he only manages to beat him by abusing a glitch in which Lucas uses his skateboard attack and gets stuck on a rail, allowing him to be mercilessly beaten.
After another failed show, Scott takes the band home to play Level Three. Level three, appropriately, [[Rule of Three|has three bosses]]; Todd Ingram, Envy, and Lynette. Someone (probably Wallace) notes how much Envy looks like Scott's ex-girlfriend, Natalie, and they begin to superimpose Scott's history with her on the character. Todd's name is actually Scott, but they [[Fan Nickname|mentally correct it]] to Todd, after the guy Natalie cheated on Scott with. His powers are also never fully explained, so [[Epileptic Trees|Wallace jokingly suggests]] that he gets his powers from being a vegan, and it ends up sticking. Lynette is an [[Optional Boss Battle|Optional Boss]] who Scott [[Lost Forever|misses]]. Todd ends up being [[That One Boss|an even harder boss than Lucas]], and Scott uses a cheat to make Todd's attacks weaker. The police arrest him at the end, and Wallace calls them the Vegan Police. Within the fandom (although unknown to Scott and his friends), Todd x Lynette are a [[Fan-Preferred Couple]], despite having [[Ships That Pass in
Level Four is a [[Mind Screw|very confusing level]]. Scott accidentally activates Mr. Chau, an [[Optional Boss Battle|Optional Boss]] who he believes to be a real boss, until he finds out that he can avoid the battle altogether, and does so. He fights Roxy, but she turns out to be somewhat challenging. At the same time, he's going through problems with Knives after his old friend Lisa moves to town and the two of them start flirting, and he stops playing the game for a while. When he finally does, he's in a bad mood and manages to [[Curb Stomp Battle|beat Roxy with ease]].
Line 164:
*** This is now Canon.
== Scott is the reincarnation of [[School Days
* Or it could be Gideon, he's the one who can't let go of his ex-girlfriends after all.
** Or, Makoto's soul split in two, the half that realized its mistakes and wished to do better became Scott, while the one that didn't learn and favored ambition over all else became Gideon.
Line 193:
As an Indian, his Racial bonus lets him make Continues, and he made several before dying. However, this made his life cheap due to being able to die so easily, which is why he leaves such little change. If Scott took the time to get the New Game Plus, he would've unlocked Patel as a playable character after defeating him a second time.
== "Survival Horror" Mode in [[Scott Pilgrim (
Think about it. {{spoiler|Nega-Scott can apparently raise the dead, and in his ending he takes over the world}}. Also, {{spoiler|The Dark One}} starts playing after a certain amount of time.
Line 222:
Of all the exes, Todd was one of the strongest; and it took a [[Deus Ex Machina]] to take him down. Todd would never consider Gideon as a boss, and likely disrespected his authority. Also, getting rid of Todd meant that [[Uriah Gambit|Envy would become available.]]
== The show is a future version of [[Captain N:
Years after the show ended, humanity learned of the existence of Videoland and set up colonies there. In time, the human populace got integrated into the world of Videoland, and soon that world was a bizarre hybrid of real life and 80's video games.
Line 258:
* Wouldn't be suprised if they said all the canadian boys [[Rule of Funny|all looked alike.]]
== [[El Goonish Shive
Alternatively, Scott can use a branch of ASMA known as Video Game Style Martial Arts. Where else does he get the ability to beat up evil exes out of the blue? This could also explain many of the anime-style visual effects seen in the movie.
