Thoughts on the Scott Pilgrim movie

[ximen]

-Was Scott Pilgrim this whiny in the comics? I seem to recall him grinning a lot more, and whining a lot less.
-Did they have to make Matthew Patel's attack power all Bollywood-ized? And the Japanese twins had dragons?* Oh yes, let's play up how exotic the Asian guys were.
-What's up with all the "Ramona you're such a slut" stuff when he's drunk and, well, whiny. Again, maybe it was also in the comics, but seriously? She's dated seven people, and that's counting boys she held hands with for two weeks in middle school. Was that in the comic? I don't remember it. In the comic, Scott's main problems are that he's flaky and clueless and has trouble reading other people's feelings, and he messes things up because of that. In the movie, he spends a lot of time being whiny and bitter, which makes him a lot less sympathetic.
-Did he seriously kill the (bi/lesbian) ninja chick by poking her in the back of the knee and giving her an orgasm? Seriously?

So yeah. It was fun and all, but I was disappointed.

*It's possible that both of these were in the comic and I've just forgotten, since it's been two or three years since I read the first few volumes. But it's still annoying.
