I. Introduction
A. Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World
B. The laws of physics are fundamentally different in the Scott Pilgrim Universe. Namely the limits and potential of the human body, generation of energy and mass from sound waves, and overall everything has less mass.
II. Body
A. Limits and Potential of the Human Body
In all of the fights, the human body can take a lot of damage. In the fight against Todd, Scott gets thrown through several walls, and seems only slightly winded after. Todd himself has "vegan powers" because he can use 100% of his brain. Humans in this world must use only 10% of their brain, as the myth goes.
B. Mass and Energy Creation
When fighting the twins in the battle of the bands, each band's music takes physical form and fights, ending with the twins being physically crushed by their own musical personification.
Matthew Patel creates fireballs from just his hands.
Gideon pulls a sword out of thin air.
Scott pulled a sword which seemingly grew out of his chest.
C. Less Mass Overall
This can explain the stunts pulled off in every fight. Specifically when Scott fights the movie star, Lucas Lee. Lee is easily able to pick up and throw Scott across a large set and 3 stories in the air. Also he easily picks up speed when doing a grind, reaching a top speed of 200 mph, which was still accelerating before he crashed.
III. Conclusion
A. This is clearly meant to be a different universe from our own. The aesthetic is similar, but the physics are very different. While the action and fights in a movie usually suspend disbelief to a point, this movie goes way over the top with it's physics.
