Scott Pilgrim Takes Off Creators Reveal Ramona Flowers’ New Job in Netflix’s Anime Spin-off

In a recent interview with EW, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off creators Bryan Lee O’Malley and BenDavid Grabinski confirmed that Ramona Flowers will get a new job in Netflix’s upcoming anime spin-off of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Instead of delivering Amazon packages, Ramona’s new job will see the fan-favorite character become a DVD courier for Netflix.

“Bryan and I and were writing one day thinking, they’re never going to let us have her deliver packages for Amazon,” Grabinski said. “Then one of us thought of this idea. When we first sent it in [to Netflix] someone said, ‘Well, we don’t know if we can clear that through legal.’ I was like, ‘Are you kidding me? You cannot do this joke that she delivers DVDs for Netflix? Come on, you’re Netflix! Figure it out!'”
