List of Scott Pilgrim characters
This article is a list of fictional characters in the comic book series Scott Pilgrim by Bryan Lee O'Malley, its film adaptation Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, its video game adaptation Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game, and its animated series Scott Pilgrim Takes Off.
For the film versions of the characters, O'Malley sent crib sheets that explained the backstory, character motivations, and events in the book to Michael Bacall and Edgar Wright. Bacall then created a list of "ten secret things" for each character, according to O'Malley, for fun, and many of the entries were jokes: O'Malley said that the "ten secret things" documents were not intended to be taken seriously as character background.
O'Malley created a height chart for the characters, printed in volume 1, but said "it's not really canon, and I never did one again, and the heights were always very inconsistent." With the exception of five of the characters, O'Malley said that the heights were "always kinda vague. I didn't pay enough attention to it." O'Malley said that during the development of the book, "the hair colours in the book barely crossed my mind (I just used whatever colour seemed nice at the time if I was colouring a cover or illustration). There were no 'canon' hair colours in my mind."
Scott William Pilgrim is the 23-year-old (22 in film and 24 in volumes 5-6) titular protagonist. He is the bass player for the band Sex Bob-Omb with his friends Stephen Stills and Kim Pine; he plays a Rickenbacker 4001C64 (4003 in the film). Though initially unemployed, he later gets a job as a dish washer and food prep trainee at The Happy Avocado vegetarian restaurant. The character's name was inspired by the song "Scott Pilgrim" from Plumtree's 1998 album Predicts the Future. He believes that smoking is evil, drinks "only on occasions", and doesn't hit girls. Scott seems to suffer from memory problems, which his friends assume that he has because of his stupidity. However, the real reason is that Gideon Gordon Graves, the leader of the league of evil exes, has manipulated his memories to the extent that he forgets (or misremembers) important events in his life. Less important events, such as one of his jobs at a Mexican food restaurant, stay the same. He is consistently portrayed as being stupid- to the extent that his mind is quite literally a barren desert- but sometimes has brief moments of clarity, such as distracting Matthew Patel by not rhyming properly (providing an opening for Scott to attack), causing Lucas Lee to combust by making him skateboard down the Casa Loma stairs at extremely fast speeds, and tricking Todd Ingram into consuming half-and-half (in the movie). He often wears a Smashing Pumpkins shirt with the letters “SP” on it, his initials, and has a parka which features the X-men logo on a patch, which Scott presumably sewed in himself.
Scott Pilgrim was ranked as the 85th-greatest comic book character of all time by Wizard magazine. Empire magazine ranked Scott Pilgrim as the 40th-greatest comic book character stating that Scott "is one of the most authentic twenty-somethings ever committed to comic book paper." IGN ranked Scott Pilgrim the 69th-greatest comic book hero of all time, stating that they love Scott not just because he is a tried-and-true nerd who battles villains in epic fashion, but because he went through a dramatic character arc over the course of his series.
O'Malley said that Scott was not based on any one person, though referring to a friend he said "[he] is the only guy who has any claim to inspiration for Scott, and it's purely visual—the personality is all fiction." Gabrielle Drolet of the UWO Gazette stated that Scott "started off as an embellished version of Bryan" before being fleshed out.
O'Malley said that Scott is "a little taller than Ramona".
Scott is played by Michael Cera in the film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Shortly before filming began, Cera received a list of secrets (some of which are already in the books, some of which are neither in the books nor the film) about the character. Cera said: "The one that really stays in my head is that Scott, in his mind, is the star of his own movie. This movie is, in a way, existing in his own mind. This is his weird perception of the world around him."
