in one of our favorite movies, scott pilgrim vs. the world, the story follows the protagonist, scott pilgrim, as he battles his love interest ramona flowers’ evil exes, which he must defeat in order to date her. a few days after a recent rewatch, we felt inspired to recreate the concept of battling your evil exes — something we’ve always been intrigued by, because sometimes words are truly not enough.

we also felt this would help us address one of the biggest issues facing today’s youth and serve as a fun metaphor and important lesson in emotional intelligence: ghosting isn’t the answer, and healthy conflict and communication are key to meaningful relationships. we think it worked.
