The Scott Pilgrim anime leaves its ending open
18.11.2023 - 15:13 / polygon.com / Scott Pilgrim
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?
But the new Netflix anime, co-written by Bryan Lee O’Malley and BenDavid Grabinski, isn’t a simple “what if?” as much as it is a reshuffling and remixing of the source material. When Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) vanishes before outpunching or outsmarting the League of Evil Exes, it leaves Ramona (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) to make peace with a few of her Evil Exes. Whereas past Scott Pilgrim works focused on his battle to get the girl, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is O’Malley rethinking the confines of that happily ever after — and what it really means to deal with the baggage of your troubled romantic history.
[Ed. note: Ending spoilers ahead for Scott Pilgrim Takes Off.]
Through time travel shenanigans, Ramona discovers a time-traveling Old Scott (Will Forte) was the mastermind behind the (Younger) Scott’s kidnapping. In the future, Scott and Ramona separated after about 12 or 13 years of marriage, so the Old Scott Scott-napped his younger self to prevent his union with Ramona and save himself an adulthood of heartbroken misery.
By the finale, Old Scott has become the Even Older Scott, and trained to become a more powerful, Ryu-sized Evil Ex, and snatches Scott, Ramona, and company into the future to literally punch away his past and wash his bruised knuckles of it. But it all comes to a head when Old Ramona rollerblades to the rescue and confronts her Old Scott, scolding him for fistfighting his past instead of fighting for their relationship.
Amid those revelations, Ramona second-guesses entering a relationship with Scott and contemplates her pattern of exiting her previous relationships. She comes to an understanding with Future-Ramona, merging with her to transform into the cosmically powerful Super Ramona. Despite knowing the possibility of their marital separation, the Ramonas decide to own their choice to enter a long-term romance with Scott Pilgrim, who, by their evaluation, will start out as an “idiot kid” who might or might not grow into “a real mess.” The Ramonas send the irritated Old Scott home to fix himself, and she gives the younger Scott a cosmic kiss to seal their relationship.
The comic source material ends with Ramona and Scott disappearing into a door of Hopefully Ever After, heading into an uncertain future and a vow to better themselves as people. The anime walks toward a more overt bittersweet route by more clearly exhibiting their possibly compromised future.

‘I don’t want to revisit myself at 25’: The story behind Netflix’s bold Scott Pilgrim anime
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).

Napoleon Review: An Unforgettable Epic From Ridley Scott
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.
