In the cinematic whirlwind of Scott Pilgrim‘s multiverse, the film adaptation offers a rollercoaster ride of hits and misses, with the cinematic journey stumbling all over representation hurdles, leaving a lingering sense of missed potential.

It’s not all bad news: Wallace, the effortlessly cool gay character, largely avoids stereotypes and is still one of the funniest and most sensible voices in the cast.

Amidst the Y2K transition, Scott Pilgrim became a magnetic force field, blending ’90s grunge vibes with the neon glow of the emerging digital age. Kim and Knives share a sweet moment when they play music together. Kudos to voice actors Winstead and Whitman for turning this tête-à-tête into a heartbreaking masterpiece, making it the series’ MVP moment.

In a TV magic trick lasting less than a sitcom snack break, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off flips an old bad joke into a glittering gem of queer storytelling.

The World: The Game, Wallace runs a secret shop located under the bridge in the Level 1. The comics, flawed yet endearing, maintained a bittersweet charm. 

The first and most obvious example of queer rep in the series is Wallace Wells, who is literally introduced as Scott’s “cool gay roommate” (and/or as a “drunk homosexual” depending on the comic panel).

The two share a tiny apartment and sleep in the same bed out of basic necessity because there isn't room for a second one. Ramona shrugs that she was “feeling a little bi-curious.” While, yeah, Roxie’s reply “I’m feeling a little bi-furious!” is kind of funny, it doesn’t change the fact that the whole Roxie fight scene is a slapstick mess steeped in stereotypes about sapphic women.

This story has since transformed and evolved, adapted as a live-action movie, Scott Pilgrim vs the World, and most recently as an anime, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off. Amidst these dynamic visuals and vibrant hues, the characters authentically resonate, enriching a tale as queer as time.

In the comics, Ramona already defied simplistic archetypes; however, it is in the anime adaptation that the true symphony of her story unfolds, amplifying her narrative, and allowing it to blossom into a more nuanced and authentic portrayal.

In Scott Pilgrim vs. While he’s not the protagonist, Wallace is definitely a beloved main character in the series, and O’Malley generally avoids reducing Wallace to his sexuality or making the fact that he’s gay the butt of the joke. 

This is helped by the fact that Wallace isn’t the only gay character in the series, as several others are casually included—including Scott’s bandmate Steven Stills, who is seen kissing his boyfriend in the final volume.

The nuanced character I loved in the comics gets squished into a one-dimensional version on screen. It's location is marked by a star painted on the wall. The anime’s cleverness shines, skillfully dodging tasteless jokes. Notably, Ramona doesn’t reduce Roxie to a bicurious experiment. As we unearth the early days of Scott Pilgrim, it’s a chance to salute the series as a funky relic, reminding us that cultural attitudes, like mixtapes, are ever-evolving, and the quest for more inclusive and diverse narratives continues to rock on.

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off treats this connection like the important piece of backstory that it is.
