*** Even if he had, in fact, killed them, it still wouldn't be enough to qualify him as a serial killer. Killing people in self-defense doesn't check those boxes - a serial killer has a compulsion to kill, they track their victims, often following a specific modus operandi they find "unfulfilling" to deviate from; they do it of their own volition for no reason other than their own appetite for murder. Scott never wanted to fight, much less kill, anyone, they simply kept coming out of nowhere to attack him, to his chagrin and confusion. Even assassins, aka people who are paid to kill a bunch of people, aren't classified as serial killers; it's a much more specific term than "someone who kills more than two people", and neither term would be used to classify someone who kills in self-defense.

* It just dawned on me why Scott got the Power Of Self Respect here instead of Understanding: Each Scott got the thing they needed most to overcome their negative behavior. Movie Scott is shown to be less dickish and self centered and more meek and unmotivated. He cheats not because it's what he wanted and decided to go for and more because he was letting himself get carried along until he sees something that pushes him to act. Wallace had no issue promping Scott to do the adult thing, break up with Knives, by making it clear coasting along would be worse. Once he gains confidence and support, AKA self respect, he can truly admit what went wrong and actvon his own to fix it.

**** Exactly, plus when he laments on how he didn't get Lee's autograph before he killed him, he said it in a rather nonchalant tone instead of one of horror, kind of like how one might say "Aw man" towards a slight inconvenience.

*** Plus, unlike the comic book, Scott isn't manipulative but more weak willed and socially awkward. He still hurt people but there was less to reconcile and accept for this Scott.

* Taking the comics into conideration, it's easy to see Gideon was able to break the "power of self-respect sword"; while stronger than love, it was still weaker than Understanding (precisely understanding Scott and Gideon are NotSoDifferent on some levels). Naturally he wasn't able to acquire said sword because he didn't have time to think on his exact nature.

*** Sounds like a neat little fanfic, but no. Humans make money in this universe and there's no real reason to assume that money is made up of actual humans as people explode. Also, there is no death in the Scott Pilgrim universe.

* During the Amp vs. Amp battle, just before the Sonic Yeti comes out, one of the Katayanagi Twins turns the volume of their amp up to 11. The Katayanagi Twins are Exes 5 and 6. What do you get when you add 5 and 6 together? 11. Essentially, since they're working together, their powers are combined.

* It may seem a bit weird that no one wants to discuss dreams with Scott (especially in the [[ComicBook/ScottPilgrim comic book universe]]), but when you live in a world where people can travel into your dreams to spy on or kill you, it becomes understandable.

* If you subscribe to the theory that the video-game logic is thanks to Scott's subspace leaking into the real world, this might explain why, as when Gideon cut him, blood started to leak. [[LudicrousGibs Had Envy squashed Ramona with her own hammer...]]

** He may not be able to reconcile in killing Lee for two reasons: 1) Scott Pilgrim noticed how Lucas Lee was only acting, and that he was a genuinely good guy. [[ArcNumber 2]]) He wanted his autograph.
