Scott Pilgrim Netflix Animated Series - Animated by Science SARU

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.
More like Scott Pilgrim Gets Taken Off, am I right???
Even better, he gets promoted to main villain. So if you read the comic and liked to think there was hope for Scott in the finale, get fucked retard, canonically he's worse than everyone.
What is it about people directing these remakes and completely disrespecting the source material
Creators of yesteryear used to be people courting an audience, seeking to please people and tell their stories. Now, modern day creatives are irrational propagandists courting the validation of other irrational propagandists. You promoted the chick to protagonist, made it gay and lame, and you pissed off the male audience? That's a win in their books, because it's pushing the right message and appealing to the right people.

Old things are bad things. So if you have to adapt an old thing (which you do because companies want that name to make money) then you twist it and change it and destroy it to make it a new thing that more closely aligns with your beliefs.

80% of this actually sounds kinda interesting. I’m also a sucker for time travel and what-if scenarios, and one of the five people who actually like Terminator Genisys, so make of that what you will.

But the fact that it all stems from Ramona divorcing Scott, with future Ramona being depicted as right while future Scott is the bad guy, completely spits in the comic’s face and insults the original idea that these were two terrible people helping each other to become less terrible. Going back to the Terminator comparison, it’s the beginning of Dark Fate all over again. “Oh, you know how the first two movies were all about ensuring John’s survival and the end of the second movie said the future would be safe? now he dies in the first five minutes lol fuck you”

The whole merging with past Ramona thing also sounds dumb. Based on what little I know, here’s how I’d do it since everyone definitely asked:
- The divorce is mutual, with both Scott and Ramona being at fault because they’re both still terrible people
- Scott is more upset about this than Ramona, and Gideon - who’s still alive and petty about Ramona - messes with Scott’s mind using the mind chip he used on Ramona in the movie to make him evil, in the hopes that time travel mishaps will give Gideon another chance with her
- Most of the show’s events are fine as-is under this new context, and future Gideon is comedically shocked that his plan backfired by killing his past self and letting his weakest minion take over
- The two Ramonas team up to fight future Scott, destroying Gideon’s mind chip and turning him not-evil again
- Future Scott and Ramona have a heart-to-heart and realize how much they still need each other. They go back to their own time and let their past selves start their relationship anew

I don't remember them being terrible in the original novel (which I read a decade ago). More like he was an underachieving loser, and she was afraid of commitment. Nowadays both look like downright saints compared to the people infesting online space.

Probably the point that is worth revisiting since it is the sole reason this anime even exists:
Compared to the original Scott's quest to fight the evil ex-boyfriends, past Ramona's quest is completely botched, she only managed to get in good terms with Roxie and Lucas.
-Wallace breaks Todd's brain before past Ramona can confront him.
-Matthew has Gideon's empire and stopped giving a shit.
-Gideon hooks up with Julie and past Ramona just finds a broken man named Gordon, later he plans to take his empire back with the help of Julie, his plan fails on the final episode since old Scott accidentally stops his assassination attempt on Matthew.
-Past Scott returns before past Ramona can confront the twins, hilarious enough the anime recognizes she did them the dirtiest, but everything is fixed with a throwaway line on the final episode about the twins meeting their future selves where they are friends of Scott.

They were both selfish and afraid of commitment. Scott moved to Toronto without telling Kim even though they were dating at the time, then he was a bad and borderline emotionally abusive boyfriend to Envy. And of course, the whole thing with dating Knives and Ramona at the same time. The whole point of Nega Scott was to show that Scott is running away from his self-inflicted problems instead of accepting them and trying to overcome them. Meanwhile. Ramona briefly dated then subsequently dumped six different people so hard that they all turned more or less evil (assuming she isn’t simply attracted to villains). She also ran away from Scott and made him depressed instead of simply talking to him about their relationship issues.
Nowadays both look like downright saints compared to the people infesting online space.
Yeah…
 
So the show is out….and they did a “He-Man” bait and switch.

Scott loses the very first battle and dies.

The show isn’t about him.

Ramona is the protagonist.

Funniest shit on Kiwi Farms right now to be honest. They somehow made Scott Pilgrim worse than it was before, and the creator co-signed his vision getring raped by Netflix. Lmao. Fucking cucks man.
 
The live-action adaption was average at best.
I actually like the movie more and thought the comic loses momentum halfway through. There's a lot more comedy going on in the background that made the movie more interesting to me. This Netflix version just felt really disinterested, like Brian wrote this because it's the only thing he's known for. All these retcons and rewrites and for what? The exes besides Gideon still aren't interesting and the characters I did like (Kim, Young Neil) still barely show up.

Instead of Future Ramona talking to Scott for 5 minutes, she decides to make a movie about his adventures? The show feels so bloated, when it was just a dumb story about one man trying to get sloppy eighths.
Episode 7 where they parody Konya Hurricane is actually really funny though, definitely the show's best moment.

 
i thought you were trolling at first and then i watched the first episode

SERIOUSLY, WHAT!?
Pattels the main character now, them's the rules.

Finished the series just now and it's actually a lot less shit than people are framing it with the out of context bullet points.Still miffed about the lack of an actually faithful adaptation.

EDIT: apperently i replied to the same post twice and din't realize, woops.

In my country at least I didn't saw much about the fad of Scott Pilgrim, the only things that I've saw were the trailer of the movie and in one time a comic book at a library. At those times Harry Potter and Twilight were the rage but those weren't the things that destroyed generations it was reggaeton and it still is, God free me from this hell (:_(. I can't say more but those here who are fans I sympathize you, you got a buck broken adaptation.

And for you, Bryan Lee O'Malley, BenDavid Grabinski strange name btw and Abel Góngora, you embarrassments, you get the obligatory

They have done it, the mad lads, they have managed to make Scott Pilgrim even gayer than it already was. Scientists baffled.

I just don't understand this obsession with taking an established work and just shit all over it just to make people mad at each other about it on twitter for a week and then forget about it to move to the next controversy-driven piece of media. It feels like Netflix doesn't care at all about actual viewing numbers and the only metric they care is if it's trending topic on X dot com even if it's for 15 minutes; I don't even like Scott Pilgrim Versus The World and I'm kind of mad. Not mad enough to get a Netflix subscription and check it out just to join the bandwagon, but still. It's just very expensive clickbait, and while I don't mind a bit of subversion or deconstruction in an adaptation, you gotta be honest about it or else it's going to feel dishonest and drive people off your platform in the end even if the controversy gets some eyes on your product for a brief moment.

I dunno, I think it's time to just let people enjoy things, even things that are kind of gay like Scott fucking Pilgrim.
 
Haven't seen it yet, probably won't now, but it sounds like the meme of "Scott being le bad guy" has infected everyone's brains. Yeah scott is intentionally a underachieving leech who blames his problems on everyone else but the point of the story, and basically every story ever made, is that he gradually gets better. My favorite part of the comics was scott finally getting off his ass and getting a real job and truly become more mature because of it. The literal fucking climax of the series is him gaining self respect when he stops moping over ramona and releases he needs to become better for himself and not anyone else.
