[Series Review] Scott Pilgrim by Brian Lee O'Malley

Like many people who grew up with it, Edgar Wright’s 2010 adaptation of Scott Pilgrim is a work that I’ve done a full 360˚ on. I remember thinking it was the coolest thing ever the first time I saw it, when I was maybe 12, then changing my tune on it when it became cool to hate for being “problematic.” Then I found myself reevaluating it in my adult life as a satire; it’s easy to miss the critical edge of opening with Scott’s friends chastising him for dating a high schooler when you are that age, but as an adult it’s very blatant how pathetic the eponymous protagonist is. I had read the series the film was based on maybe ten years ago, and remembered the differences, but not how much more expansive it was.

Since the film adaptation was released before the last of six volumes was released, the beginning of the books and the film seem fairly identical, but it starts to diverge around the second half into ultimately something much more than what I remembered. The books are more character-driven, and less reverent of nerd-culture as O’Malley makes it very clear how much of a loser Scott and by extension his social circle is. But it strikes a delicate balance which is difficult to achieve, to make the characters sympathetic while still being fucked up, which ultimately is the driving motion behind the story. Perhaps it’s because I’m so intimately familiar with the story that I was so invested the second time around, but O’Malley’s simplistic style disarms the reader to tell a very real story about emotional growth without being cloying. The sci-fi elements are a big part of this; in film I usually dislike any sort of narrative subjectivity, in prose it seems almost requisite, and I suppose comic books are somewhere in the middle. The video game structure of having to fight off seven evil exes seems corny at first, but it does seem like an apt externalization of how awkward it is to run into an ex, or an exes ex in public. The climactic fight scene that comprises most of the last volume is a great example: at one point the contents of Ramona’s purse rain over everyone, which is a great visual metaphor for emotional baggage in a very public fight.

A word about the setting. I believe O’Malley exemplifies the same sort of regionalism as Linklater’s 1990 film Slacker, which always wondered if I would find as compelling if I was not from Austin. I have almost no frame of reference for Toronto culture, having visited only once, but a big aspect of Scott Pilgrim’s charm is that it is a portrait of a time, place, and subculture — the late-aughts Toronto indie scene that gave rise to Metric and Broken Social Scene. Part of Scott Pilgrim’s enduring quality is how it immortalizes the cultural quirks, the hangouts and the inside jokes, for a much larger audience than originally intended. I’m from a different time and place, but I see something of my own life in that of the listless twentysomethings from 2004 Toronto.
