History Characters / ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld

%%* AntiHero

* AdaptationalJerkass: While Envy seems to get her act together after Todd is defeated, Envy is portrayed as much colder towards Scott. Probably justified, given her limited time to interact with him. See DemotedToExtra below.
%% * AlphaBitch

* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: In the comic, Gideon mind controls people through The Glow, a psychic corruption that brings the worst out in its victims and allows him to manipulate their memories. In the movie Gideon uses a microchip to mind control Ramona and old-fashioned money to control Sex Bob-Omb instead.

* AgeLift: He's a year younger than Comics!Scott, who was 23 at the start.

* AgeLift: Inverted; in the film, he's a year younger than Comics!Scott, who was 23 at the start.

* {{Jerkass}}: Lampshaded by Kim, ''and'' Julie on seperate occasions:
-->'''Kim:''' Scott you're the salt of the Earth.\\

* BerserkButton:
** He gets pretty pissed off when Todd punches Knives.
** He doesn't get ''angry'', but if somebody comments on his hair, he immediately becomes self-conscious and puts on a hat.

* ButtMonkey: He deserves it, though.

* LetsGetDangerous: Especially when he's fighting with Todd, and Gideon.

* OneSteveLimit: With Wallace's boyfriend Other Scott.

* WithFriendsLikeThese: With pretty much everyone. Mostly Wallace and Kim.

* FamilyThemeNaming: '''S'''tacey and '''S'''cott Pilgrim.

* AlliterativeFamily: '''S'''tacey and '''S'''cott Pligrim.

* FamilyThemeNaming: '''S'''tacey and '''S'''cott Pligrim.

* TokenMuggle: The only main cast member who is neither a musician or a trained fighter, as Kieran Culkin [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbY5zIX22WI noted]]. He also never develops his book counterpart's mild supernatural abilities due to the movie being a PragmaticAdaptation that focused on Scott and Ramona's relationship rather than an ensemble of TrueCompanions.

* FinalBoss: Being the BigBad of the story, he's the very last of Ramona's ex-boyfriends that Scott must defeat.

* MarathonBoss: Scott fights him in two "phases", one where he uses his SwordCane and another where he levels up and uses a much more powerful, glowing and pixelized blue nodachi.

* MarathonBoss: [[spoiler:He's so hard to beat that Scott needed a ResetButton to defeat him.]]

* PowerEchoes: Some of her dialogues as well as her shoutings and screams are reverberated. And several reverberated low key [[TheImmodestOrgasm immodest orgasms]] can be heard when she's around and in her [[{{Leitmotif}} dedicated piece of soundtrack]].

* KickTheDog: In the movie, Todd's punching of Knives is definitely this, if not a outright crossing of the MoralEventHorizon.

* TheOmniscient: There's no way to know how they get to know how and when vegan-empowered people breach the diet, they just do.

* TheVoiceless: They have no lines in the film (losing their backstory and personalities entirely in the process) because their actors didn't speak English, whereas in the comic book, they have a lot of lines. So the whole robot theme from the book is replaced with "amp to amp battle" where their holographic twin dragons fight against Sex Bob-omb's holographic giant ogre. It helps that the amp battle was based on [[WhatCouldHaveBeen the original draft of Volume 5]] that the filmmakers were given.
