If you’ve read the comics or seen the Scott Pilgrim movie, you may have been surprised that the Netflix series changed entire history as it was known. However, there is a justification for this, and it was stated months ago by franchise creator and series cowriter Bryan Lee O’Malley.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight: O’Malley said he believes the series’ audience is the same as those who have already seen the film or read the comics. Therefore, it was not interesting to retell everything that these people already knew.
“I wrote this almost 20 years ago. I couldn’t go back and rewrite it word for word. I thought I had to tell the story of Scott Pilgrim in a world where the story of Scott Pilgrim has already been told and people know it. I had to give it a new coat of paint and play with the character,” he said. O’Malley.
Answering the question in the title: Scott Pilgrim: The Series is different, so fans of the franchise will have a different experience, with a story full of metalinguistic references.
However, this can make the production a bit confusing for firsttimers, as they won’t understand most of the winks referring to director Edgar Wright.
