I got baited into watching this garbage>not interesting>not funny>the worst of all: indie rock band themed but all the "songs" played are garbage This is peak millenial shit
Nice blogpost
>>153022317did she get fixed?
>>153022317that's your issue, we warned you
>>153022317>not interesting>not funnyHow? It took a different spin on the story and added more development to the characters, the show looks and sounds great and the characters don't act braindead or like aliens, like they have in most cartoons in the past decade.
>>153023046>development to the charactersThis isn't inherently a good thing when the characters developed are boring
>>153022317Let me ask you a question OP, and I like to preface it by saying that I am 100% sincere in asking this: What did you hope to gain by making this thread? Is your life improved by it's existence in any meaningful way?
>>153023102>>153022341>noooo you pushed my "is coffee good for you" thread to the archive nooooo
>>153022317It's worse than millenial shit, it's also canadian millenial shit. Also Scott should've been with Kim.
>>153022317>This is peak millenial shit what is Scott Pilgrim
>>153023101The exes were always more interesting than Scott though.
>>153022317You could just made a new scott pilgrim thread you know, you didnt need to write all of this slop
>>153022602Who?
>>153024646she
What a miserable fucking thread. Takes Off was a cool little bonus addition to the franchise. A little schizophrenic and overindulgent, but still charming all the same. You can just ignore it if you're not a fan
>>153022317When are you comicfags gonna leave the franchise alone? BLOM doesn't want anything to do with the young adult drama anymore. All he wants is Scott to be Luffy and Ramona and the exes to be his Straw Hat Crew. They go on adventures and fight hyper strong super powered bad guys. That's how this story continues, so let it fucking go
>>153027221Hello BLOM
>>153022317It was the same as He-man>the creators lure you in with the main character you actually want to see.>They rug pull you on the first episode and then make your endure the rest of the series with the insufferable girlboss they actually wanted to make main character>Brain dead shills will attempt to gaslight you and tell you how great it actually is.Rinse, repeat, for more than 10 fucking years.
>>153022317>>153023337>millenial
>>153028864I think it's worse because the bait was that they were going to adapt the comics, which is the only version that has a real message about getting your shit togetherIf they wanted to make a story about how Scott Pilgrim is the actual bad guy and his biggest fight is against himself, why not make SCOTT PILGRIM
>>153027221It was alright. I really wanted to like it too
>>153028074That sounds like fucking vomit. Like pure vomit
>>153024559This is a bold faced lie. Half of them are barely characters at all. The only really interesting ones are Todd and Gideon. Maybe Lee too, if you really dig into him, but that's it!
>>153027221A 'little' overindulgent? It turned Scott Pilgrim from a slice of life about a couple trying to get their shit together into a whodunnit murder mystery where characterization and development take a backseat to meaningless action. All the characters center on Hollywood. Sorry, Torontowood. And then they all center on New York City for a Broadway production, or in the future. It's up its own ass and loses a lot of the humanizing elements.
>>153022317what they drinkin
>>153022317Strictly worse then the comic
>>153024559>Patel>pajeet who dated Ramona for less than a week at the age of 12. Listens to djent unironically >Lee>Actually moved on from Ramona, a cool guy who got dragged into the whole thing. Was willing to forfeit for change.>ToddLegitimately interesting character, even without the happenstance. >Roxy>literally a one time joke. 4th boyfriend actually a girl. Haha. Least interesting aspect of Vol4, least interesting boss in the video game.>The Twins>Double Dragon reference, that's it. Literally not characters. >Though Ramona cheating on both of them does good work.>Gideon>sociopath music producer. That's it, that's him.
>>153022317>indie rock band themed but all the "songs" played are garbageSeems accurate.
>>153032998>Listens to djent unironicallyI know you're specifically thinking about Devin Townsend here because a single Meshuggah song would kill Patel
>>153028074>be BLOM>half lomein, half potato>decide you want to do film, but flunk out>do drawing, get hired by a small start up, Oni Press>do some line work/drawings>get your first comic published, Lost at Sea, finds a niche audience, but is a well reviewed coming of age story. >Decide you want to write about your early days in Toronto>Write Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life. >inspired by living in Toronto, and full of references.>story is over the top, but characters are grounded.>over the top 'love quest' which works as a good analogy for past relationship trauma and baggage. >everyone in the comic is a asshole, and because of that, they are all relatable>done in Manga style for obvious reasons>late 00's, you're the zeitgeist>video game, movie, main stream recognition, fad but you're on a role>2010's start, SP slowly fades, but you have Seconds>drawn in SP style>get compared to SP, get accused of copying The Girl who Leaped Through Time>not nearly as popular>wife leaves you>fade back into anonymity>dye hair>rerelease SP>"I always wanted to do a battle shonen! I don't care about the beloved comic, eat my slop">"I wish people who like my work would leave."
>>153033832The chick from Seconds using the time travel/universe hopping magic to seduce her employee and cheat on her husband/boyfriend while using the magic to make them all forget repeatedly really disgusted me. Does it need to explain why not just the cheating, but using powers to have sex with someone and then force them to forget about it is extremely disgusting and borderline rape? She his a far more evil person than Scott was at his worst and she never learned her lesson. The lesson she learned was, "I shouldn't use these powers because it makes my life harder," not, "I shouldn't use these powers in the ways I have been because they hurt people and it's morally wrong." Like for example, if she used the powers to prevent Hazel from being burned, no harm would've come of it. It's a false dichotomy to pretend she either has to use the powers to repeatedly rape reality or she can't use them at all. Imagine how violated you'd feel if the chick you've been crushing on actually fucked you, but then erased your memories of it because she doesn't want you long term and then she married someone else AND THEN FUCKING PUSHES YOU OUT OF YOUR JOB just because she feels that's the reasonable thing for her to do instead of controlling her own lust and not cheating on her boyfriend. This is all made worse by the fact that the guy is black.
>>153034114Those are all good points I hadn't considered (I honestly barely remember Seconds)
>>153032998You're a retard if that's all you got from Gideon.
>>153034549>Has abandonment issues>keeps women he 'loves' as trophies and dolls>literally describes Envy as this and says he gets sexual satisfaction from dressing her up and controlling her. >is obsessed with 'the one that got away'>all the others 'that didn't get away' are literally kept cryogenically frozen by him against their will.
>>153032449Molson
hello again
>>153035017was a better person before Ramona ruined him. Admitted by her.This alone opens much more possibilities for this and all the other exes. One that Takes Off and EX took advantage off, turning Gideon and all the rest into much more interesting characters that "still dumb" Scott" and "just there to move the plot" Ramona
>>153035859Grim. The only thing Molson has going for it is that it's not Labatt Blue.
this shit would be better without scott and ramona, literally every other single charcuterie is better except maybe the twins who have the personality of a flat piece of wood
>>153038032There's no proof of that. Ramona and him were probably broken up for 3 months tops when she met Scott.Irene was frozen since 2003, which would have been years before he met Ramona.The only thing that happened different was Ramona got away, and he vented on Craigslist.He manipulated all the exs with his mind powers, except Lucas Lee, since Lucas didn't seem to care and genuinely warned Scott.No room or really need for exploration out of that, and Takes Off is still lame and indulgent
>>153034305I remember an Anon summarizing the book accurately like this. His biggest problem seems to be how Katie mistreats and ultimately kills Lis, but personally, the sexual and romantic stuff bothers me way more.
>>153039541>There's no proof of thatRamona's testimony isn't proof? You think she was lying when she said that?
>>153022317The only good content to ever come out of this franchise is that michael cera movie, it’s pretty boring otherwiseDefinition of aesthetic over depth
>>153039654I think she's an unreliable narrator. I mean, Ramona's past is fairly inconsistent, after all, she has at least eight exs before Scott.
>>153039861When everyone is an unreliable narrator, no one is. The reality is that there was an open thread there and O'Malley was wise in following it going forward. Not even the only one. Gideon was sad when Ramona left, despite the whole experimentation claim (which interestingly is yet another Ramona claim, so if she's an unreliable narrator then Gideon might not even have been experimenting with her at all).
>>153040324There was no open thread. The cartoon not only changes his name, changes his age (he's in his mid 20's in TO, he's in his early 30's in the comic), and changed his entire position and personality. Yeah, Gideon was 'sad' when Ramona left. Just like Courtney, Irene, Ginger, ect. You seem to be missing the part where he literally dresses his current girlfriend like a doll, expressing that so, and how he literally froze six people against their will.
>>153040324Also Gideon openly admits towards screwing with Scott's head. He also is seen deliberately messing with Todd's head in the fight in Honest Bob's, which can be concluded he screwed with everyone else's head, including Ramona's.
>>153022317>I got baited into watching this garbage>>not interesting>>not funny>>the worst of all: indie rock band themed but all the "songs" played are garbage >This is peak millenial shit
>>153041442>changes his name, his ageThe age thing is a convenience thing yeah. A retcon done to fit the story and Gideon benefited from it. His name was always Gordon. Are you angry that they revealed more of his past, including his real name? Because that is called: Developing a character. >Just like Courtney, Irene, Ginger, ect.Damn, it sounds like he was actually a good guy before Ramona. Who would've thought.>he literally dresses his current girlfriend like a dolldressing someone in some form is evil now?>he literally froze six people against their willafter Ramona left...interesting
>>153041524I don't remember Gordon being his first name, and I certainly know his name wasn't 'Goose'.Yeah kidnapping people and freezing them doesn't read 'good'. Remember, Irene had been frozen in 2003, before he would have met Ramona. When done as a means of control, yes. Prove he did it after Ramona left, because it doesn't fit into the time line.
