Why does no-one hear ever talk about the Scott Pilgrim franchise? It's fucking great but doesn't get the attention it deserves.
cause its shit
>>77360058
guess who is the best character and makes Scott looks like a normie piece of cracker?
It's good, but it's also over and there really isn't much to discuss.
That said
>doesn't get the attention it deserves.
You have to be an actual retard to believe this. It's gotta be one of the most popular/famous non-cape comics out there, and it got a well made, well-respected film.
Fuck off.
There was just a busy thread about it a few days ago cause it was required reading for someone's comic book college course.

Please, the Power of Understanding is the superior sword.
>>77360058
I liked it. It was enjoyable with a really fun cast. It's also been over for basically a decade. There's not much to discuss and honestly most of the discussion would either be "waifu wars" or "Scott pilgrim is hipster garbage". So yeah. I don't see a need to make threads for it.
>>77360132
>well-respected film
>>77360789
Respected is a strong word.
Well liked, then. I haven't met a person who didn't at least tolerate it, and at the very least it feels like there was a lot of love put into it.
>>77360544
>It's also been over for basically a decade
Half a decade, last book came out in 2010
>>77360058
The story is great if you're reading it for the first time as a teenager o a kissless 20-something. As you get into relationships you re-read it and realize how fucking garbage Scott Pilgrim is as a human being, and how much of a bitch Ramona Flowers is, and that Envy Adams is one of the most understandable human beings in the series.
But no one will ever be as boss as Wallace Fucking Wells.
Of course, bring it here on /co/ and some people will shit on it for being to hipster because it got too mainstream. Wrap your head around that. And the movie was garbage and both gave rise to an annoying tide of Pilgrim wannabes.
>>77360058
4chan as a whole can't stand anything even remotely related to hipsters. I like it though regardless. Comic was definitely better, but Macaulay Culkin's brother did an amazing job as Wallice. Also the second evil ex was definitely a lot more entertaining in the movie. Other than that I enjoyed the graphic novel more.
>>77360902
>Lucas Lee was Captain America
I didn't even realize it the first round. It's like they got everything right about the Scott Pilgrim movie except Scott Pilgrim.
Ended a while ago, most threads I've seen about it have a consensus of "it was good, we've talked it out, that's pretty much it."
It was actually a really well-made modern coming of age story. Scott realizes he's an asshole and a really shitty person, accepts it, and tried again after he and his girlfriend are ready to drop their baggage.
>>77361008
I just don't see how they could make a borderline retarded character competent in real life. I can only imagine he had to change the character because it just didn't work in the medium. Not defending it, I just don't see how you could put scott pilgrims character on the big screen as a main character.
>>77360058
I think we burned ourselves out on it back in 2010 when the movie, game, and final volume of the book all came out within months of each other.
>That was more than five years ago
>That feel when you've been browsing 4chan for way longer than five fucking years
>>77360058
like everyone has said its been over for 10 years and it really when you get down to it it wasnt that good. it perfectly captured what it was like to be 25 in 2007 but other than that its kinda so so
>>77361048
That said, Micheal Cera is still a very weird choice to play him. Micheal Cera is good at playing one character, and that's micheal Cera. And Scott is like...only BARELY within Cera's range. In the He's kind of a slack jawed, clueless dork. But not really the same kind of dork Cera's used to playing.
The girls are all it really has going for it, otherwise it's pretty average.
At least twice a month someone pops on here like they're the first person to discover SP in spite of the fact that it is over a decade old at this point.
There's about 100 replies of the same shit before people work out that there's nothing new to say.
Yeah, it's pretty good to some folks and shit to others. I like it a lot personally but not enough to bug /co/ about it anymore. Go put it in your OKCupid profile, I guarantee you'll meet a girl who wants to talk about it with you and then you can stop bugging people here and maybe even meet a new friend.
>>77361236
>Not vs ザワールド

>>77360893
>As you get into relationships you re-read it and realize how fucking garbage Scott Pilgrim is as a human being, and how much of a bitch Ramona Flowers is
That was the point. Scott's not a good person throughout most of the comic. He's incredibly self centered and has a selective memory, especially when it comes to ex-girlfriends, and doesn't see himself as responsible for anything he's ever done wrong. Ramona does the same thing in a way. She's aware of what she did wrong in most of her relationships but doesn't really seem to realize or care how bad she's hurt most of them. Getting over those issues is a big part of the last book.
The only thing I really liked was the game, and that has been removed from XBLA/PSN because the license expired.
>>77361558
Glad I bought it but I missed all the dlc characters
>>77360127
Wallace and Lisa rules.
But Scott Pilgrim as a whole is pretty bad tho.
>>77360058
>>77360058
I hate Scott Pilgrim.
When I was younger, it excited me, because I thought this was the life that was just around the corner for me.
Now that I'm older, it depicts the life I never had due to insecurity, cowardice and procrastination.
>>77362373
Scott was insecure, cowardly and did nothing with his life, the series is just extremely unrealistic and idealized.
>>77362451
Rereading it is hard once you realize how shitty the characters are.
I remember that there was general threads... Five years ago? Time sure flies. People were calling it hipster shit even back then.
>>77360812
Back in high school my film teacher hated it. Said it was unrealistic and he couldn't suspend disbelief. I asked him what was strange and he said that a girl like Ramona would date a loser like Scot.
I had a good little giggle that he didn't get the point but more of one that he thought Ramona was a prize.

If you're in the US and want it for the PS3, Gamestop still sells codes for it online. I got it about 2 weeks ago, and the only thing that doesn't work is the online gameplay or leader boards.
>>77360487
It's pretentious hipster bullshit.
I actually miss when thay was the go to insult instead of "SJW show/comic" or "meme show".
>>77363159
Nothing changed but your age. Pretentious hipster shit was the SJW/meme of older times
>>77362483
This, around the time the movie was coming out, Scott Pilgrim was driven into the ground. People would start threads that just saidhipsterand nothing else.
>>77361008
I dunno, I always appreciated Michael Cera playing a guy who thinks he's the stereotypical nice-dork Michael Cera character, but is actually just a loser asshole.
>>77360058
Scott Pilgrim taught me a lot about budding love, coming to terms with who I am, and the importance of moving on.
Real life taught me that Scott Pilgrim is fucking bullshit and so far up its own ass it hurts sometimes. Shit goes wrong and people leave you when they find out you're not the person they want you to be. Suck it up and move on with your life. It's not a grand gesture or big deal. You just gradually get numb to it, then it's gone.Otherwise, I thought it was funny. The author sprinkles reality with ridiculousness lightly enough for it to add onto to scenes without trying to steal the show. Also kind of sort of cathartic; I saw my friends in the characters.I seriously felt for Knives; nothing feels worse than feeling like you weren't good enough.
>>77360058
People fucking love Scott Pilgrim. You got those white boys running around who wanna be him.
They start saying shit like "Be my Ramona Flowers"
>>77360058
Be careful about gaining to much LOVE bro.
>>77362611
The important question is does it include the DLC.
got it for xbox, and I too, missed out on the extra goodies such as Knives, Wallace (who was apparently a lazy reskin?) and whatever that backyard wrestling arena was supposed to be.
Replayed it recently for the first time solo, it really holds up well. Better than I remembered.Played it through with my now ex last time, maybe it's symbolic

I watched the movie first and it was very good. The comic was pretty boring afterwards, and often times I really didn't recognize which character was which. The beat'em up game was ok though short.
>>77360058

What the fuck.

It literally physically irl got a fucking movie made by one of the best directors currently alive. It's gotten far more attention than it could possibly ever deserve.
Learning O'Malley was a sniveling SJW kind of put a damper on everything for me personally.

back to /r9k/ frogposter
>>77360058
I first heard about the comic from reading the About the Illustrators page on this anthology called Geektastic.
Then I stumbled upon the Vs. Animation clip. OK, maybe I'll understand the comic a bit faster. That looked cool.
Found out there was a free download link, couldn't afford to lose the opportunity to get them. I read the first 2 books, it was OK. I wasn't (and probably still isn't) sure if I got the point of the comic though. (But then again, English is not my native language and this is probably my first slice-of-life serial comic albeit a bit hyperbolic one.)
Two definitely good things about it:
1. the movie introduced me to Edgar Wright. I LOVED Shaun of the Dead, and I'm hoping to see the rest of the Cornetto Trilogy.
2. GOAT lo-fi rock.
>>77363780
Whoops, forgot to clarify how I got interested in it:
Guest anthology art → Animation → Film → Comic.

>>77364678
I know Lisa is /co/'s favourite Scott Pilgrim waifu, but Kim is great too.but Envy is best girl and Brie Larson is insanely hot
>>77360058
Because it's the definition of "mediocre"
>>77365232
Have you seen Larson's newest movie, "room"? She doesn't look too hot, but gives a pretty good performance and she still is a qtpa2t
>>77365239
This - it's not good enough to warrant much praise or discussion, but it's also not abysmally bad enough to warrant constant mockery.
It's just sort of... meh
>>77365344
oh that. When I first heard about it, I thought it was a remake of The Room
I read the comic first with zero expectations or knowledge of what it was, and as I was reading I kept thinking it was a simple coming-of-age story. Then Matthew Patel happened and I was ready to drop the book like a rock. I really think the story could have been more effective if it wasn't so idealized and fits to Scott's development in such a linear, predictable manner. I don't want to hate it because it was part of that gamer-geek culture from the get-go, but I really find that kind of stuff cringeworthy, at least from this current decade.
Who Lucas Lee here?
>>77362475
The whole point is that scott and Ramona are both shitty people tho
>>77365626
It's actually kinda funny. I was listening to an interview with her yesterday and I swear they are under strict instructions not to say "the room." I had to laugh because she was constantly saying shit like "when we were in room"
>>77367257
>>77362483
I remember hipster being the kek of the time.
Couldn't post nothin' without some upstart calling you a hipster.
>>77367319
Because /co/ only talks about ongoing comics and comics of upcoming movies and tv shows.
I didn't like O'Malley's newer work, Seconds.
I felt the protagonist got off way too easy, not to mention she got everything she wanted in the end as well.
Wallace a best, no contest.
Kim is fine too - probably second best.
>>77363544
>one of the best directors currently alive
Iagree
>>77361122
Really, there are three aspects any actor chosen to be Scott would have to pull off. First, they have to look good doing action shots, which, no, no Michael Cera cannot do that. Second, they have to be an asshole, which Michael Cera can absolutely do (see- Crystal Fairy and the Magical Cactus), but chose not to. Third, he has to be dorky and slightly awkward, which is Michael Cera's whole thing. So while I love Michael Cera, and this movie kinda started that, I grew to hate him as Scott after I actually read the books.
I thought Edgar Wright directed that movie really well, though. I thought Allison Pill, while hot irl, looked a little off as Kim Pine.
>>77367468
I fell for the aesthetic of it all. Plus, hot chubby redhead who eats magic mushrooms that fix her mistakes? What's not to love?
Have you read Lost at Sea or am I the only one who can sperg about that?
The movie is better

>>77363548

What did you fucking expect?
Really sucks how the movie wasn't that great. Casting was good outside of scott and a lot of the important plot points were handled okay for the time that was given, but man some of that shit should have been cut out. Like fuck that dancing ninja game was horrible. I can at least say the way Scott finished off Gideon was infinitely superior in the movie than in the books.
>>77360058
>doesn't get the attention it deserves.
It's like you don't even internet. Everyone and their mother imitated the art style and video game references and spawned literally waves of crap. How many kids made Scott and Romona clones and 'sonas?
BLOM wrote a great series but like anything great it spawns imitators who copy the worst aspect of it.
>>77372683
>no NegaScott fight

>>77360058
Pretty much everything that needed to be discussed about it already has been.
>>77360830
I find this fact terrifying.
BLACK SHEEP COME HOME
>>77367468
I was also disappointed. There was a lot of build up without much pay off.
I'm not gonna bother reading this whole thread, but one thing you should know OP is that around the time the movie and the final volume of the comic were coming out this place was DRENCHED in Scott Pilgrim threads. To the point where a lot of people here grew to hate it just because of how overexposed it was. That may sound silly but it wasn't uncommon for close to half the threads to be about SP some days.
So it's a mix of lingering resentment from that, it being over so there's not new stuff to talk about, and with it being as prominent as it was on /co/ a lot of people have said everything they feel like saying about it.
>>77372425
Maybe not when he wrote the very first comic but that's the whole point of the final book. It's all about Scott finally realizing that he is an awful person and was sugarcoating his own memories and that Ramona isn't a princess to be saved but a shitty person on her own right.
Someone care to story time it?
Because its mediocre and there's nothing really to talk about past who you'd fuck, why the movie was so shit, and why it was written like crap.
>>77374131
>pls storytime 1,200 pages of a ten year old comic
nigga just torrent it
>>77374203

>>77360058
cause it's shit
>>77362540
Are you saying that Ramona's not worth it or that she's more than just the thing that goes to the winner?
>>77361122
I think Cera was decent casting because the whole point of scott is people think he's a well meaning micheal cera type character when he's actually even worse than that.
That said I know a guy exactly like scottonly actually worseso I've never thought he was a hard character to believe exists.
>>77374895
Ramona was a shitty character. She was a good prize and motivator for Scott though.
>>77361498
>That was the point.
Oh good, someone else said it.
Yeah, the comic definitely dealt with things better. The similarities between Scott and Gideon, the whole Nega Scott thing, Scott's memories, Scott being a jackass.
>>77365232
Unf, dat voice.

I did.
>>77365344
I haven't seen it but I want to.
>>77374986
Was he the best fighter in Canada though?
>>77374113
People overestimate how much the comic is trying to 'look down' on the scene and lifestyle. Ultimately everyone but scott is a functioning member of society who cares to varying degrees about their friends and family.
Scott lives in a world of fantasy, can't even comprehend the needs and feelings of others and on top of it all doesn't care.
>>77375042
She wasn't a shitty character she was a shitty person. There's miles and miles of difference. And if you think the point of the series was that Ramona wasn't worth the trouble then it was you who was misguided.
>>77375271
Cera? Scott didn't look like the best fighter in Canada, that was basically the point. And of course there's the whole metaphorical interpretation for the fights. That said I think in-canon the fights are real and they are only metaphorical in relation to real life.
>>77363393
>state why
Some guys on 4chan said it was shit and now I think that too. I desperately want internet elitists to like me.
>>77375383
>She wasn't a shitty character she was a shitty person.
That's what I meant. Sorry if I worded that poorly.
>And if you think the point of the series was that Ramona wasn't worth the trouble then it was you who was misguided.
I never said that. I just think that the point of the story has more to do with Scott and his development than Ramona at all.
