Were you expecting a 1:1 remake of the Scott Pilgrim graphic novel with Scott Pilgrim Takes Off? Not only does the Netflix animated series veer wildly away from the source material, its first episode has a mind-blowing twist that has already broken the internet.
Spoilers for Scott Pilgrim Takes Off follow. You have been warned!
At the end of episode 1, Scott (Michael Cera) goes up against the first of Ramona Flowers’ (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) Seven Evil Exes.
Enter Matthew (Satya Bhaba). If you’ve read the comic or seen the Edgar Wright-directed movie, you might think you know how this goes. Instead, plot twist: it’s Scott who is seemingly defeated – exploding in a shower of coins. Now it’s up to Ramona to confront her own Seven Evil Exes by herself…
So, no, this isn’t your average remake. While we’ll leave you to discover what comes next after Scott's apparent death, but it’s already enough of a hook to make those on social media sit up and take notice.
"This is the modern day equivalent of the Metal Gear Solid 2 Raiden Twist down to the exact fan reaction to the twist and everything," one wrote on Twitter, referring to Hideo Kojima pulling the collective rug from under gamers’ feet by replacing protagonist Solid Snake with the blonde-haired Raiden for the vast majority of Metal Gear Solid 2.

Speaking to Netflix, comic creator Bryan Lee O’Malley revealed it was a chance to explore those around Scott in greater detail.
"I have a long relationship with Scott Pilgrim fans as the creator of the universe, so it’s funny to me that 20 years in, even the biggest fans will often say, 'Scott Pilgrim is the worst character.'" O’Malley said. "This narrative shift gave us so many different meta opportunities to explore everything in more depth and detail."
"The idea of Ramona having to interact with the past that she’s run away from, and figuring out more about herself and the decisions she’s made through that process, was something that felt dramatically interesting," executive producer BenDavid Grabinski added. "Because when she’s on the sideline and Scott’s fighting her ex, and then the ex is defeated, how much can she grow from that?"

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, the anime adaptation of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s hit comic series by studio Science Saru, premiered on Netflix last friday. Produced and written by O’Malley and co-creator BenDavid Grabinski, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off diverges significantly from the source material, morphing into an adaptation that at once functions as both a sequel and a remake of O’Malley’s original comic.
By now most people know the secret behind Scott Pilgrim Takes Off: Scott Pilgrim — well, he takes off. He’s gone, for most of the narrative, leaving the players as we know them to pick up the pieces and figure out what happened to him. What happens to them in his absence is usually a total flip of what we’ve come to expect: Think Gideon introducing Lucas to the slowburn anime he’s been watching for a while (or maybe just a few days).
Director Ridley Scott and actor Joaquin Phoenix reunite for the first time since their work in the iconic 2000 film Gladiator. Twenty-three years later, they are back with another historical epic,. Phoenix portrays Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of the French, during his rise to power and his tumultuous relationship with Joséphine (Vanessa Kirby). Scott’s grand cinematic spectacle demands the colossal canvas of the big screen. Although this movie has a few issues with its pacing and screenplay, and it’s far from Scott or Phoenix’s best work, Napoleon leaves a lasting impression.

Scott Pilgrim creator and showrunner of the new Netflix anime Scott Pilgrim Takes Off has responded to fan confusion about the show. The eight-part series begins with a pretty huge twist in its opening episode, before veering into a new direction from both the comics and the Edgar Wright-directed movie.
You can practically picture the pitch of the Scott Pilgrim Takes Off anime as an Archive of Our Own summary: What if Scott Pilgrim disappears before his fight with Ramona Flowers’ first Evil Ex? What if Ramona has to go Sherlock Mode for the missing Scott and unearths a grander conspiracy to sabotage her future with Scott?
Music has always been an integral part of Scott Pilgrim. There are the in-universe bands – Sex Bob-omb, The Clash at Demonhead, The Katayanagi Twins – and the (often banger) songs they play, and Scott Pilgrim vs. the Worldadded a lot of moody and groovy music to the mix to help complement the hyper-stylized approach Edgar Wright took to the adaptation.
