Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: Every Evil Ex Fight Ranked Worst To Best
6. Kyle and Ken Katayanagi - Exes Number 5 and 6
This battle with the Katayanagi twins is the only Scott Pilgrim vs. the World fight to feel disappointing, and it easily ranks as the worst match-up thanks to some primary factors that make it feel both lacklustre and redundant.
The first problem with the sequence is the fact that the twins have absolutely no development. These antagonists don't even get any dialogue, and this ultimately harms the fight. Each battle is an insight into Ramona's past, and by loosing out on the narrative connection between her and these two, Kyle and Ken feel inconsequential.
Additionally, while they are clearly shown to be quite powerful, this entire segment is only there to introduce the primary antagonist Gideon. Each other evil ex has been the complete focus of their sequence, but here we have more build for the next fight rather than a focus on this one.
Finally, whilst it does feel different and breaks up the traditional hand-to-hand combat, the sequence isn't particularly compelling in regards to the fighting. There are no real physical interactions with the twins, and the giant CGI monsters feel entirely separated from our characters, leading to no cathartic payoff when the fight ends.
