History Characters / ScottPilgrimTakesOff

* YouAreWhatYouHate: He ironically becomes an Evil Ex of sorts by Episode 8 after his story had him face the League to win Ramona's heart. In the graphic novel and movie Ramona calls him "another Evil Ex waiting to happen".

* PsychicPowers: Downplayed since he'd rather beat his opponents to a pulp but it's implied he became a vegan when his training montage showed him eating only vegetables, subsequently giving him psychic abilities much like Todd's but on a much higher scale. The SphereOfDestruction that swallowed the theatre was actually a massive vegan portal that teleported Scott, Ramona, their friends and the Evil Exes and when Gideon asks to send him and the others back Even Older Scott subjects him to a PsychicStrangle.

* FaceHeelTurn: Young Scott is good but riddled with issues and flaws. While the original story revolves around Scott confronting these issues and overcoming them for the sake of his friends and loved ones this version of Scott apparently didn't mature so when he got in a single argument with Ramona he immediately assumed it tore their relationship apart and later went to try and stop Young Scott from fighting the exes and growing as a person to instead continue his life as it was without the hardships of having Ramona in it.

* DontAsk: In her caption under age it simply says "Don't ask", getting more emphasis "Seriously, don't ask" ten years later. Reminder that Ramona is one year older than Scott, so by the end of the established timeline she should be 48.

* VagueAge: The character cards refuse to give her actual age like her present self though she is still around Scott's age. Unlike the other characters in the future she is referred to as "[[InsistentTerminology Future Ramona]]" instead of "Old/Even Older Ramona".

* DontAsk: In her caption under age it simply says "Don't ask", getting more emphasis "Seriously, don't ask" when she's Even Older. Reminder that Ramona is one year older than Scott, so by the end of the established timeline she should be 48.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: ZigZagged. She's still thouroughly unpleasant and has some AdaptationalVillainy but her nastier moments from the comics got AdaptedOut and she's generally nicer to the rest of the cast, [[JerkassToOne except for Scott]].

* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: Kim relates the story of Scott saving her from a rival middle school more or less as he told it when it turned out that, in the comics, his memory of the event was wrong and Simon Lee was actually some powerless nerd he’d beaten senseless - although the image of Scott punching out Simon Lee indicates that there may be some combination of the two versions of events.

** He has several moments in the behind the scenes of "Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life". For instance, when he hears about Edgar Wrong claiming Toronto to be a major character in the film[[note]]He says this in order to express how Neil's film was a tribute to Toronto[[/note]], he is shocked and asks who's playing Toronto.
** He claims that the film had dark lighitng to reflect that darkness in Scott's soul. The cameraman then points out that he's wearing sunglasses, to which Neil replies that they're prescription.
** When it seems like he's like he's using a chemistry metaphor to describe the RomanceOnTheSet between Todd and Envy by comparing them to volatile chemicals, the camera finishes his metaphorical question by saying that mixing volatile chemicals will cause an explosion. Neil's response? He gets startled and asked why they were mixing volatile chemicals on a movie set in the first place.

* AdaptationalJerkass: In the comics, Hollie was more playful and friendly. Here she's a lot cynical and rude to the point of being a PerpetualFrowner like Kim. At the same time...

* AdaptationalJerkass: Thanks in part to the greater focus on the exes and their pasts with Ramona, as well as their current feelings, Ramona herself can come across as more of the bad guy in some of the relationships than the exes were. It's shown she cheated on Lucas with Todd, knew Todd was cheating on someone with her, didn't take her relationship with Roxie seriously, and dated the twins at the same time and played them against each other simply because their BigManOnCampus attitude annoyed her.

* AchievementsInIgnorance: He somehow manages to write a screenplay whilst asleep without knowing how he even managed it. [[spoiler:Because he actually didn't write it at all, Future Ramona did and sent it back in time as part of her scheme to thwarts Old Scott's plan to use time travel to prevent them dating in the first place]]

** When he witnesses a mysterious figure type a screenplay on his computer, he goes back to sleep, wakes up, and believes that '''he''' wrote it in his sleep.
** He believes that golf carts are called "Mario Karts" in the US. When Ramona, who is American, points out that this isn't true, he then claims that they are definitely called that in Japan.
** He accidentally bumps into Robot 01 while on his golf cart, which he mistakes as a trash can. However when he sees the robot run away, he remarks, "That's a fast trash can"
** During a behind the scenes of "Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life", he claims that the film had a dark filter to reflect that darkness in Scott's soul. The camera then points out that he's wearing sunglasses, to which Neil replies that they're prescription.

* WeightTaller: Working out intensely for ten years has made him significantly bigger than either of his past selves who were already a fully grown adults.

** Regarding Ken and Kyle, the source material revealed that Ramona cheated on them with each other, much to their justifiable anger. However, in the anime, Ramona describes them as being brazen playboys in college, who wouldn't leave her alone, so playing both of them was there method at getting back at them. While still not an excuse to betray their trust, it does give Ramona a reason for what she did instead of simultaneously dating both of them just because.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: She's the warmest and least aloof iteration of her character, in part thanks to her more direct involvement with the rest of the cast over the need to investigate Scott's disappearance, though she is notably much less dismissive of Scott even before going out with him.

* JerkassHasAPoint: While the series is about Ramona acknowledging and coming to terms with her own responsibility for how her relationships with the Evil Exes all ended, it remains true that none of those relationships were really healthy, and some (Todd and Gideon in particular) were outright toxic. Ramona may have behaved like a {{jerkass}} in ''how'' she left her Exes -- the breakups with [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Matthew]], [[AbandonmentInducedAnimosity Lucas]], and [[GayRomanticPhase Roxie]] were notably cruel -- but it is never seriously suggested that she was ever in the wrong simply ''to'' leave.

* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: Due to Scott's "death", and Knives getting over him cheating on her with Ramona pretty quickly, she doesn't feel the need to go out with Neil in a bit to make Scott jealous.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: He sees that Matthew's play is based on a memoir by [[spoiler:Old Young Neil]], and asks if there's any relation.

* OnlySaneMan: He's the only one besides Ramona who shows any type of grief during Scott's funeral. Subverted when he quickly forgets about it in favor of Envy's sudden concert at the church.

* AdvertisedExtra: She is featured in the poster for the anime and in the intro alongside Scott's friends. She herself however, is barely present in the series.

* AdaptationalJerkass: In the comics, Hollie was more playful and friendly. Here she's a lot more cynical to the point of being a PerpetualFrowner like Kim. At the same time...

* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Roxie finds her hot, and after failing to feel anything after making out with Kim, she asks her if she is coming back to No-Account Video.
