This piece contains spoilers for "Scott Pilgrim Takes Off."
The "Street Fighter"-inspired directive in Bryan O'Malley's "Scott Pilgrim" comic and its Edgar Wright-directed 2010 movie adaptation is a simple one: 23-year-old Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) must defeat the seven Evil Exes of Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) in order to date her. He kicks all of their butts and does some soul-searching to better himself for Ramona. Loosely inspired by O'Malley's early adulthood, the Toronto-set "Scott Pilgrim" is a superlative tale about starting new relationships after messy breakups and the past romantic ties that haunt you and your new partner. In Scott's world of video game vernacular and shōnen-inspired duels, an ex might try to behead their ex's new beau with a ninja katana.
Almost two decades after the first "Scott Pilgrim" comic, the "Scott Pilgrim Takes Off" Netflix anime signifies that O'Malley rethought Ramona's dynamic with her Evil Exes.

As the most followed woman on Instagram with a staggering 429 million followers, Selena Gomez has never been much concerned with social media success.
“I’ve never really cared about that stuff,” Gomez said at Universal Music Group and Thrive Global’s Music & Health Conference on Tuesday afternoon. “I suppose I’m grateful for the platform, and I would love to continue to use it for what I’m able to do, but numbers are just numbers.”
Rather, she’s well aware of the responsibility that comes with such a far-reaching platform. In her position, Gomez has heard from several fans about how her work has helped them through extremely difficult times. “It can be a little heavy,” she continued. “I feel for people, and I think that’s what kind of keeps me in check, to be honest. I think I can be a little reckless with my emotions and having conversations with young people,...

Fans Think They’ve Got ‘Masked Singer’ Identities All Figured out Less Than a Day After Fox Premiere
Fox’s new Nick Cannon-hosted celebrity singing game show, “The Masked Singer,” premiered (to huge Nielsen numbers) Wednesday, revealing at the end of its very first episode that the identity of one of its famous contestants — who performed disguised from head to toe in an elaborate hip-hop-style hippo costume — was none other than NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown.
However, we still don’t know the identities of Peacock, Deer, Lion, Monster and Unicorn, the contestants who wowed panelists Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger, Ken Jeong and Robin Thicke and the studio audience enough to move on to next week’s competition.
Or at least we don’t officially know who they are, as some viewers are already taking to Twitter to try to decipher the clues about each masked famous person, which were given to them during last night’s show, a series based on the South Korean format created by Mun Hwa Broadcasting Corp.
