This is a review of the entire series.
Scott Pilgrim is living a pretty chill life. He's 23, plays bass in a rock band and has broken a lot of hearts. After many failed relationships, he thinks he's finally found his one true love in the mysterious and alluring Ramona Flowers, a punk-rock rollerblading delivery girl. Ramona is unlike any other girl Scott's ever dated, and she comes with a lot of baggage. In order to win her over, Scott has to battle her seven evil ex-boyfriends and possibly overcome her flaws as well as his own in the process.
Right from the get-go, it's not hard to see that Scott is kind of a horrible person. And that's the main theme throughout the whole series. Almost every single character is a selfish dick that hurts everyone around them for their own benefit. Scott manipulates a girl that's too young and naive for him just to trick his peers into thinking he's still hip and cool. He disrespects his friends and often comes off as ungrateful and arrogant; refusing to take responsibility for his own negative actions and attitude. He has no problem tossing girls aside one after the other and moving on to what he wants without regard for anyone else.
Scott's a bit of a douchebag to say the least, but he subtly starts to change for the better when he falls in love with Ramona. We come to learn that he has repressed feelings and memories to hide the fact that he actually feels really guilty for all of the bad things he's done in the past, and he slowly learns to cope and grow as a person, making things up to the people's he's wronged to try and prove to himself and everyone around him that people can change for the better. Most of all, he wants to show Ramona that he's not a scummy jerk like all of her other evil ex-boyfriends.
Ramona on the other hand, isn't exactly the peak of purity herself. She's no broken-hearted maiden that needs saving, she's done quite bit of manipulation, harm and psychological damage herself. Most of her ex-boyfriends aren't even evil by any means, she took advantage of many of them, cheated on them, dumped them then falsely labeled them as bad people in order to avoid taking responsibility for her own selfish actions and deflecting any kind of guilt she should feel for them. Scott and Ramona have a lot of things in common, and nearly all of them are bad.
This isn't a story about a brilliant romance between two star-crossed lovers, it's a story about two horribly flawed people learning to change for the better by overcoming their flaws together, battling the demons of their past and learning to forgive and love themselves for all the cruel and selfish mistakes they've made. The story is a lot deeper than the surface level details would lead people to believe. Beneath the many layers of teen angst, punk rock culture, video game parodies and explosive comic book imagery is a touching tale with quite a bit of psychological depth. The more comedic elements of the story don't hinder the plot at all, they actually make it a really fun and relatable way to tackle complex issues without being depressing or melodramatic.
The main point of the story is that everyone has had a moment or a phase in their life where they were kind of a huge dick (maybe without even realizing it) and ended up hurting people they didn't mean to hurt. Everyone has made big mistakes and done bad things that got people hurt, but that doesn't necessarily make them bad people. As long you're willing to learn from your past and become a more compassionate person, it's never too late to change for the better.

Nice pictures but I didn't like the story, I did like the message at very end it's kind of like the moral of the story.
