Right okay so I think it’s loosely based on some comic books of a similar nature and the story is thus:
The setting is similar to reality but very metaphorical and surreal, with game-like events happening often.
Scott Pilgrim is some lonely dude in his 20s with no career and his band has some gigs lined up to play at. While out and about he sometimes (often) runs into a girl who cusses him out regularly because when he was in high school he fought a bunch of guys to save a girl but then immediately broke it off as he moved to the city and she moved to the city after him but he still doesn’t want to pursue a relationship so now she’s bitter and angry about it. This seems pretty unrelated to the overarcing narrative but it highlights important things about Scott: he can fight a lot of dudes consecutively and he has serious issues about how he views life and progress. Later, he meets a girl with blue hair and tries to hook up with her but he loses sight of her. Since he knows she works as a delivery person he orders stuff online one item at a time until she shows up (depending on the comic, movie, and animation what she delivers and which company she works for is different). She agrees to go on a date with him and so he does. She asks if he had to fight a lot of dudes, which confuses him, but she presses for an answer and he says yeah he had to fight a hundred dudes and the last dude he had to kick so hard he saw the curvature of the earth. Which was a lie. This becomes important because the girl has 7 evil exes that anybody new she dates has to fight before she can continue seeing them. So he fights those people and learns to appreciate himself and he dates the girl, the end. Except the original ending for the film was that he dates the girl in his band after learning to appreciate himself as a revelation during the struggle with the 7th ex, but it scored poorly with test audiences. If the comics are followed then Scott loses the girl at the end, but then dates the girl in his band as a form of coping with his loneliness and insecurity, but in the comics that girl is explicitly underaged and therefor Scott Pilgrim is a pedophile.
I was forced to see that movie and I don’t understand a thing about it

Okay hope that clears everything up for you.
Yes, the movie is Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, based on the comic Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. 😆
