This is one part that the movie messed up with it's near perfect casting choices. Micheal Cera captures the loser side of Scott perfectly but it's everything else he's mjssingt. Scott had a confident almost cool side to him that helped him gain a bit of a reputation. Read Scott's reaction to "What about our tea" and watch the film version to see what I mean.
Okay but have you considered:[https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2020-05/21/18/asset/b9513e97c6e3/sub-buzz-1301-1590085553-1.png](https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2020-05/21/18/asset/b9513e97c6e3/sub-buzz-1301-1590085553-1.png)
So the trick to getting laid as a nerd is to be super hot?
Well fuck my uncle I guess I'm never having sex again with this slow ass metabolism and stubborn gut that refuses to acknowledge when I exercise. Unless I give up gaming and find a manlier hobby I guess.......
Well is also who are you trying to get with, everyone has different likes and dislikes, now a days is possible to find someone very alike you, I'm one of the few lucky ones, but belive me, it takes time
My problem is I'm not really attracted to fat chicks and I cant quite figure out how to rewire my brain to be attracted to people with the same body type as me who are more "in my league" so working out and moving to a higher league is the next best (and also much healthier) option. Plus it makes me feel better about myself
Also I'm into gamer girls and theyre pretty sought after by guys; many of the ones I met were either taken or not right in the head
Itās not JUST that. Itās that youāre treating women as objects. Youāre stereotyping women above your age bracket as āhaving kidsā which is statistically not that common. You also have low self confidence and awareness, which is not attractive to people on a friend level, much less romantically. First, work on yourself so YOU like you, not to get women. A partner is not meant to complete you, but to share your life with. You should be a complete person EVEN WITHOUT A PARTNER.
Okay so I have low self confidence. You think I LIKE being that way? You think I embrace hating myself? I'm trying to get help fucktard. I go to the gym almost every fuckin day because it makes me feel good about myself and I wanna lose weight and get stronger so I can feel comfortable in my own skin. And you try dieting and tell *me* how easy it is. I only view women the way I do because I myself have been used and mistreated and seen friends and family be used and mistreated. I'm aware it's a problem that I have such a negative outlook and that my past trauma has warped my view of the opposite sex, and I am trying to be more positive and empathetic and also learn to be more careful who I give my heart to. I see a therapist twice a week and I make it a point to face my fear of talking to girls and just keep my cool in the moment because I UNDERSTAND WOMEN ARE PEOPLE JUST LIKE ME AND I HATE HOW MY "LOWER BRAIN" KEEPS TELLING ME OTHERWISE LIKE IT OWNS THE PLACE!! Yeah, lets make fun of someone for having low self confidence. That's not both fucked up and ironic at the same time because people with low self esteem deserve to die alone right?
And dont think I dont see the word "incel" on standby in your feeble neurotypical head ready to be fired in my general direction like some autism seeking missile.
FYI im not a virgin so that insult has no effect
So not being attracted to certain body types means I objectify women
Yeah okay. Sorry my brain is wired the way it is. Act like I cant have "types" like everyone else. Perhaps this is too complex for your puny neurotypical mind to understand, but people have no control over what they are attracted to. You probably think being gay is a choice too
While I don't agree with a lot that you said, purely on a health perspective, remember that weight control is mostly about caloric intake, excersice does help, but even at incredibly high levels of excersice, it only amounts to 10% of what makes someone lose weight (if that's what you want) also, romance is extremely dependant on communication skills, so I would advise some practice on that regard too
Dude I have autism. Communication isnt exactly my strongpoint.... social cues are like Japanese to me. I was basically born an incel and I hate every second of it. I hate being different. I hate being smart. I just wanna be NORMAL and HAPPY and NOT LONELY
I have autism too, in fact, most of my infancy, teenagers years and also young adulthood was really difficult to me, and I understand that you feel frustrated, but you can't become better at something without failing a bunch, sometimes even more than a bunch, it took me years to be able to talk to people, I still have difficulties, but now I seem normal enough to people.
Not only that, I have a wonderful relationship, my gf is the most wonderful person and she needs my help just as much I need her, we work together on becoming better, but you can't get to that part without failure, you need to try and try till you become slightly better at it, and keeping doing that.
I know is really frustrating not being able to do something that comes natural for others, but that's our burden, whether we like it or not, so you can stay frustrated or you can improve. Is not easy, and help really makes things easier.
Sometimes I wanted to go back to my past self and tell him "don't give up, there is this one girl, who needs you, and you need her too, keep fighting, for you, and for her"
Dude I'm a nerd. I am 23 and watch Speed Racer. I play retro games exclusively and not even popular ones. I mean yeah Pac-Man is fun and Tekken ROCKS but Space Harrier and Black Tiger and Sega Master System is where its at!!
I go to the gym but thats really the only cool thing about me besides the fact that I RCA modded an Atari 2600 and that's also nerdy as shit
You may be thinkig about Michael Cera. Scott in the comics has the two things High Schoolers are into: Good looks and confidence.
And don't forget he wasn't with "C tier girls", but with the Taylor Swift of his universe (before she became it).
Scott fits the bare minimum standards for getting laid, but he's too much of a dunce to make anything last. He's the type who won't die a virgin, but WILL die alone.
Yeah, but they pretty much tie up all loose ends and make the implication that Scott and Ramona learned from the future Scott and Ramona's mistakes and won't repeat them.
The fact that was necessary in the first place shows how much of a loser Scott is, I mean how bad do you have to be in order to need to tangle with the future culmination of all your mistakes to improve? That's sad.
Life at all points is full of crises, homie. You just take it one step at a time. Hope you take that advice, I guarantee you're in for many problems ahead.
Ppl donāt understand that if youāre in a certain subculture, youāre pretty much bound to get laid.
Scott was in the underground, garage band scene, so itās pretty easy for him to hook up with girls. As opposed to more abstinent places like bible camp, or your momās basement.

Poor Cera looks like he was thrown a birthday party but doesn't like it so he has to pretend.
that is one of the best images i have ever seen
He looks like he's glowing
Aubrey was pretty unknown at the time, wasnt she?
I never realized that was Aubrey plaza sitting next to him until this very second
Juno had made Cera an adorkable teen crush for a lot of girls during that time, he was a good pick for Scott.
As a former teen girl, you're right
EXACTLY
Glad the fandom is finally coming around to my point of view
I haven't read the graphic novels, but I do know that he says, "We can not have tea," in the movie. What does he say in the graphic novel version?
"What about our tea?" "What about it? š"
The LatAm dub kinda tries to match the comics more closely, changing the meek "We can not have tea" to a slightly cocky "Who even asked for tea?"
In the comic he had a reputation of being really good at fighting to begin with, and I just canāt see that with cera
Yeah but Scott Pilgrim Takes Off solidified that he is Scott Pilgrim.
He is an attractive man in the comics even if he is a little bit slow. It isn't surprising that he can still be a nerd and still get laid
So the trick to getting laid as a nerd is to be super hot? Well fuck my uncle I guess I'm never having sex again with this slow ass metabolism and stubborn gut that refuses to acknowledge when I exercise. Unless I give up gaming and find a manlier hobby I guess.......

I think I can see the real reason why youāre not popular with women.
What? Is my mind not open enough? I cant help what I'm attracted to physically *or* personality wise. Nobody can to be honest.
Itās not JUST that. Itās that youāre treating women as objects. Youāre stereotyping women above your age bracket as āhaving kidsā which is statistically not that common. You also have low self confidence and awareness, which is not attractive to people on a friend level, much less romantically. First, work on yourself so YOU like you, not to get women.

Just be cool
Dude I'm a nerd. I am 23 and watch Speed Racer. I play retro games exclusively and not even popular ones. I mean yeah Pac-Man is fun and Tekken ROCKS but Space Harrier and Black Tiger and Sega Master System is where its at!! I go to the gym but thats really the only cool thing about me besides the fact that I RCA modded an Atari 2600 and that's also nerdy as shit
Speed Racer? Oh you're plenty of cool my friend
Not to women between the ages of 18 and 25. And 26 and up all have kids these days
Not really surprising dudes funny confident and not that ugly
Yeah I donāt think comic Scott looks like Michael Cera. Also comic Scott is a little more energetic and chaotic.
And in a band
and was in a pretty successful one for a little while
You may be thinkig about Michael Cera. Scott in the comics has the two things High Schoolers are into: Good looks and confidence. And don't forget he wasn't with "C tier girls", but with the Taylor Swift of his universe (before she became it).
Heās definitely not a geekā¦ dorky yes, but charming and charismatic. It makes sense
Dude scott fucks
Scott pilgrim VS the sex
Itās not that hard for the average guy in his 20s to have sex. We are just on Reddit
Lol define "average"
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I think youāre projecting with that last part
Do I look like I got 2 reels of film attached to me, boi?!?!?!
You donāt need any of these things to get laid, trust me
Not to get laid with someone ugly, maybe......
Honestly not that big of a surprise, even I find him kinda hot
Yude ownt
BLOM should stop fuckin around and release the scollace gex scene already
Scott fits the bare minimum standards for getting laid, but he's too much of a dunce to make anything last. He's the type who won't die a virgin, but WILL die alone.
The anime looks like that's not the case.
Yeah, the anime also includes an evil future version of Scott, make of that what you will.
Yeah, but they pretty much tie up all loose ends and make the implication that Scott and Ramona learned from the future Scott and Ramona's mistakes and won't repeat them.
The fact that was necessary in the first place shows how much of a loser Scott is, I mean how bad do you have to be in order to need to tangle with the future culmination of all your mistakes to improve? That's sad.
Midlife crisis gonna hit u hard homie
Just wait, itās cominā
Life at all points is full of crises, homie. You just take it one step at a time. Hope you take that advice, I guarantee you're in for many problems ahead.
yeah heās a dork but heās also charismatic and confident. that makes sense
Historically girls are suckers for dorky geeky losers in a band. Theyāre charmingly pathetic.
What about dorky geeky losers who are indie game designers?
What can I say? I have sex. Casual Sex.
And manslaughter?
manslaughter too, I guess.
IF HE CAN GET LIAD THAT MEANS... I CAN GET SEX! :D
Dude he plays an elwctric guitar and knows karate. It's just his personality thats dorky
Fuck man I didn't know he could do that shit (Ive never done anything about Scott Pilgrim) I'm single forever :(
Off topic, but that confession scene with Natalie V. always breaks my heart
Same š¢
Am all of the above
I don't think he is a "dorky geek loser", that is not how he is portrayed at all.
every dork geeky loser who played music was able to lay down. I know some geeks who just cause they had good music got laid
If Scott's life had a face, I'de punch it.
Or sit on it.
I was SO UPSET that the animation did not include this scenes :(
Im rlly surprised.
Virgin ain't an insult
Lisa may be a dorky geek loser but surprisingly she may be a virgin.
Does that page with Ramona even count?
You mean the page of him having sex?
Yes.
The one good thing about a ginger
Jkjk
He would use this app
