Synopsis
Everything Is Totally Sweet
Scott
Pilgrim’s life is so awesome. He’s 23 years old, in a rock band, “between jobs,”
and dating a cute high school girl. Everything’s fantastic until a seriously
mind-blowing, dangerous fashionable, rollerblading delivery girl named Ramona
Flowers starts cruising through his dreams and sailing by him at parties. But the
path to Ms. Flowers isn’t covered in rose petals. Ramona’s seven evil
ex-boyfriends stand in the way between Scott and true happiness. Can Scott beat
the bad guys and get the girl without turning his precious little life
upside-down?
You’ll
laugh. You’ll cry. This is Scott Pilgram. This is your life.
What happens....so we enter into the world of Scott
Pilgram and it’s....ah....
I
love it. It’s deep in that air-headed type of way. It’s funny and it’s just
this style, not only in the way it’s drawn but also in the way it’s written,
how they perceive it, the...everything is just...it’s just...
Man
I love it, honestly if you haven’t read this series, but you’ve seen the movie,
you should really take a look at the books.
Okay,
so its set in Canada with an air-headed 23 year old named Scott, who...he’s
just hilarious.
It’s
like a video game vs real life and it’s all in the way they say things like:
“Well...my last job is a really long
story, filled with sighs. Maybe we can set into it in a later volume.”
“I don’t even want to talk about my
last job.”
“Maybe volume three for that one.”
|
And
that’s what it’s like. Also, Scott gets extra lives, and levels get amped up
from whatever reason. When he wins he gets money (in coins). And yet it’s such
a normal story, sorta, though the characters are all cool, everything is sweet
and it’s something—the around-about-shit is all stuff that can really happen. Everything
else, it just makes all this shit more interesting.
Really,
it’s really bad, I’m staying this shit. It’s mostly because just a cool as book
and something that if you were interested at all in the movie, that you will
loooove this series.
Really,
it’s so much better and even more so because it’s not done in a 2hour movie.
Really,
you should check it out. now!!
When we continue....Does Scott & Ramona’s
burgeoning relationship have a future? Isn’t Scott still supposedly dating
Knives Chau? Who is Ramona’s second evil ex-boyfriend, and why is he in
Toronto? Who are The Clash at Demonhead, and what kind of bizarre art-punky
music do they play? Who’s their hot girl keyboardist, and what’s her relation
to Scott? Why are they Knives Chua’s new favourite band? Fights! Drama! Secrets
revealed! The answers to all these questions and more! It’s all coming in....
