It depends on your perspective. Some might consider it new as it brings in new elements and developments. But in a broader sense, it still builds on the existing Scott Pilgrim universe.
Definitely. 'Scott Pilgrim Takes Off' draws inspiration directly from the comic. It retains many of the key elements and storylines from the source material.
Kim Pine herself is often very well - written. Writers can really explore her complex personality, her love for music, and her sometimes prickly relationship with Scott.
A possible storyline is that Kim Pine discovers a hidden talent of Scott Pilgrim that no one else knew about, like he can paint amazing murals. This could lead to them collaborating on an art project in the neighborhood. Well, in some fanfictions, there could also be a storyline where they go on a road trip together. Along the way, they meet all kinds of strange characters and have to overcome various obstacles, which in turn strengthens their friendship or even leads to something more.
