after 2. e5 you should play c5, Nc6 just blocks the c-pawn and you go into an inferior french with a slower c7-c5 also without you having played e6 earlier you could have played Bf5 on move 3 getting the bishop out first

and what is Bxc6 you need to playbxc6 it looks horrible blocking the lsb but the point is to play c5 twice and wreck white's center common idea in french lines where white plays terribly and trades his strong lsb for your knight on c6 usually it's in advance structures where black has played c7-c5 and Nc6 after to pressure d4 when after the trade on c6 you have pawns on c5 and c6 and you trade on d4 and push c5 again

i do constructive criticism the rest of the game i can only die

no i'm serious ask any good player and they'll say that even though scandi is playable it's still not very good 

e5 if you like solid, c5 if you like unbalanced really

the Scandinavian is a dominate opening for black especially at the sub 1500 level. At your level if you learned it you would kill your opponents

2.e5 allows black to have a French with zero problems because you can bring the lsb to f5. Some of your opponent's may think "omg I'm gaining space" but e5 is just bad.

no 2...c5! is better because no white can't play d4 and that pawn on e5 starts looking awful weak

You're right, c5 is better and more challenging. But if you're a devoted member of the French defense cult you want to play bishop f5.

if you're a devoted member of the french defense cult why are you playing the scandi

One does not simply main an opening

the french is the best response to 1.e4 in terms of when you factor in learning, soundness, strategy, positional play, and tactical play.
