>There will never be a spinoff where she learns to be a good person
doesn't she sort of learn that after ramona kicks her ass?
>>84268998
Not exactly. She's just mildly less shitty.
>Nobody else like Envy
>>84268947
what about the movie?
>>84269995
Didn't happen in the movie either.
>>84268947
I'd read it
Yeah, I'd be the third fucking time O'Malley would make the MC a shitty person, but I like his work, so who cares
>>84269076
That's where you start. anon.
I need to read Scott Pilgrim again. I feel like I was too naive the first time I read it. Kinda couldn't identify with that young adult experience.
>>84270017
He does shitty MCs pretty well.
>>84270046
Naturally.
I reread it recently. Really captured my early college angst in retrospect.
>>84270073
Yeah, that's what I'm looking for. I read it when I was a senior in high school. Basically just kept thinking "Haha, yeah, totally!" whenever something happened, but I really wasn't connecting to the experience or emotional states of the characters.
>everyone wants a ride, then pulls away
>>84270316
Ooooh, from youuuuuu~
I'd prefer a Lisa-centered spinoff but that'd be nice too.
>>84271383
High School Lisa and Kim series when?
Is Scott Pilgrim good? Never read it and I'm actually in college, I 'v read on /co/ that it's a good read when you can identify with the characters.
But I don't know it seems a bit "random geeky humor" but the on experience I have was there movies trailer.
>>84271746
its kinda both of the things you said
the movie however is unwatchable garbage imhotbch and has nothing to do with the comics
>>84271746
I feel like you can miss the window in which you were supposed to read it. And I don't know you well enough to know whether or not you missed that window.
>>84268947
To be fair. I've met Emily Haines and she does come off as kind of a cunt. Josh and Jimmy were fucking awesome though
>>84273767
What do you mean? The window is a short period of time?
It's a high school comic?
>>84276036
It's a coming-of-age story of the belated type.
>>84276058
Oh, the whole late-bloomer, growing up, being in charge thing ? Yeah, I can relate to that
>>84276036
>>84276092
It's about Scott being an asshole loser in his 20s. If you aren't the right age you will realize everyone involved, except for Knives, is a huge asshole
>There will never be a spinoff where he fucks all of Romana's evil exes
>>84276305
What is the wrong age? I'm the same age as the guy.
So the personality of some characters can be seen as some sort of "twist"?
I'm gonna check it anyway, I just hope the geeky humor isn't too loud, and may be I can learn some life lessons in it
>>84271746
>>84273767
I read it right after I graduated high school, right before I got my first job, which was a huge time of transition for me, and I loved it, mainly because that was the kind of life I wanted to live: friends, the girl of my dreams, weird hijinks and action. Now that I'm in my 20's and actually in college I realize they're all just losers and the comic itself is pretty stupid. But, point being, I read it during a formative time in my life, and I think that's what made me love it so much.
Scott sucks
Ramonas a whore
Knives is dumb
Wallace is a faggot but a cool faggot like Freddie Mercury
I have lived through the 20-24 apartment girls games and party in the city life and its not all the book makes it out to be. In fact if you are a poser trying to be like Scott youre almost as bad as being an actual Scott, the lowest form of modern man.
>>84271746
It probably helped influence the whole abnoxious geek culture humor we see today, in fact it influenced a whole lot of shit today. It's a pretty monolithic comic in my eyes considering the amount of style, humor and atmosphere derived from it, but it itself isn't that abnoxious unfunny shit you'd expect today. It's legitmately fun and the cast is incredibly great at pulling you in and letting you enjoy the story.
>>84268947
I thought the whole point was that she isnt as bad as everyone made her out to be
she was a cunt because scott was a bigger cunt
the only time she was a bitch was towards scott
>>84277507
She was pretty bad. Not without reasons, but not super nice either.
>>84277507
She had Knives punched in the face
>>84276343
>all of Romana's evil exes
Even the goth girl one?
>>84277984
Did anon stutter?
>>84268947
Sometimes people don't learn. At least not in a short time frame.
>>84268947
the thing is op, women dont learn shit.
Scott Pilgrim: The Game > The actual comics > A shotgun wedding to an angry pregnant Knives > Mandatory Vegan Camp >>> The Movie
Not really, no one in the series really becomes a much better person just mildly less shitty that or they're just killed off
>>84276343
Wallace was always best girl.
Been a while since I read this, but I remember not quite grasping what was her fucking problem in the first place.
>>84280456
Scott was a shit boyfriend, and recontextualized what happened to be all on her. They kind of find some peace between each other by the end.
>>84280334
Yeah. Which is the point really. You can be shitty and not realize it, and confronting that can be kind of hard.
>>84280503
Doesn't mean she wasn't shitty too I should add, but I think it was kind of in response. He started her on the dark path to become like him, an asshole.
>>84276388
Considering you can get the whole series for £25, it's worth it (black and white is fine)
Be honest, /co/, are you a better person than they are?
>>84268947
>tfw there will never be a spin off at all
>>84281581
I used to be. Now I'm more on their level. I am working on being less shitty though.
>>84271701
>tfw they are all the same
>>84277984
>Wallace is so good at fucking that he turns a lesbian straight.
I'm throwing money at the screen but nothing is happening.
>>84268947
Envy isn't a bad person. She doesn't actually fuck people's lives up like Scott, Ramona, or Gideon. Being a bad person takes more than just not liking everyone. At worst, she's normal and has some history with Scott and is a bit snotty because she's a rock star.
You're mistaking not being a good person for being a bad person.
>>84283432
>has the highlights punched out of Knives' hair for mildly annoying her
>not a bad person
>>84283460
Most people will do one shitty thing every one and awhile, and will usually have bad person as their friend. Somebody getting punched once doesn't ruin a life. She's just normal. You lack perspective.
Scott's POV is somewhat unreliable. Envy is not necessarily the monster he likes to think of her as.
>>84282310
yeah those are all Lisa
>>84283668
Isn't Envy heavily implied to have been cheating on Scott during their relationship before he did anything dickish?
>>84285157
He was self absorbed and neglectful, she probably cheated on him after getting sick of that. It isn't right, but they both were kind of jerks. He just doesn't see how he did anything wrong at all because Scott misremembers things in his own favor constantly.
Should I re-read Scott Pilgrim, /co/?
>>84285273
You kidding us? Do it.
>>84271746
Ironically I read it in junior high school. I reread it to this day every once in awhile
>>84285273
Totally. It would be neat if there was another storytime of the entire colored comic like some months ago. There's been a lot of discussion lately.
>>84271746
Its enjoyable though I really liked it most before I could directly empathize with the characters because everyone is kind of shitty, which is a harsh light cast on yourself really.
>>84276343
Wallace was too pure for this sinful Canada.
>>84286027
>Wallace moves to America to crash with Lisa
This is our spinoff.
>>84287031
>Wallace
>Lisa
>Kim
Who else did nothing wrong in this series?
>>84287067
Lisa did try to seduce Scott when he crashed on her couch though...
>tfw no kim gf
>>84287067
Knives
Eventually
After she went full yandere
It was Scott's fault anyhow
>>84287084
She just wanted to go back to the good old days..
>>84287084
Sometimes you just want to relive the good days, man. They're a dime a dozen
>>84287084
Fair.
I'm rewatching the movie right now and honestly it isn't as bad as people in this thread were saying.I'm enjoying myself at least
>Lot of Scott talk recently
>in the mood for the Pilgrimage
>Start re-reading the books
>"Alright! Now onto Vol. 2!"
>Remember I lost it in a move
>Fuck
>"Fine! I guess I'll just play the game!"

>Which I even remember getting more money BECAUSE I said it had the game on it
The universe is cruel
>>84287260
The movie's fucking incredible, some of the best symbolism in film history.
I love the comic more though. I've read it once a year since I graduated high school and it amazes me how well O'Malley seems to understand relationships.
>>84271746
I'd read it. It has some quirky humor but also great writing and characters, as well as art that evolves. Highly recommended
>>84268947
She was fine in v6. She dedicated the first song of her debut concert to Scott, had a "CLOSURE" moment with him, and said she preferred her shitty 21st birthday with Scott and friends over the luxurious party Gideon threw for her.
At the end she admits she's a bit of an ice queen, but wasn't she always that way even before she met Scott?
>>84287407
The issue with the movie as I watch now isn't the writing, I think. Everyone is a bit weird and stilted but in a way that kind of makes it feel like the comic. The problem is that some really good content is cut for time.
They get most characters right though, from Scott being an ubelievable shit to Wallace being best. The one who suffers most is Envy whose entire arc and bigger role from the comic is enormously reduced and with it her character.
>>84287452
I also hate the movie's implication that Knives was better for Ramona too; her being turned into a mind-controlled damsel while Knives gets to kick ass pissed me off.
Which leads to my point that the only people who should have problems with the movie are people who love the comics.
>>84287104
just
>>84287598
I think that was a legit time/budget concern issue. I enjoyed Knives being great at the end, but I think that had the final sequence gone on longer it would have probably come out worse. Of course that just means it should have been rewritten tighter.
They also shot a Knives Wins ending, and considered doing that to make the movie and comics totally different alternate universes, but realized that wouldn't work for the same reason as why it wasn't in the comic
I also enjoyed the band fight, though the Katayanagis were the least well served of the evil exes in this movie as I rewatch it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn14MXmc-WU
>>84271746
obligatory pic related.
Though it's been a while since "hipster" meant the same thing it did when calling SP "hipster garbage" was current.
>>84287104
It hurts, man.
>>84287730
>Though it's been a while since "hipster" meant the same thing it did when calling SP "hipster garbage" was current.
Kinda lost its edge, hasn't it? I think "SJW" replaced it for the most part.
To be fair, they share a subset of the same crowd.
Did it strike anyone else as fucking insane how fast in universe the climax moves from Gideon signing the band and absconding with Ramona to the showdown at the theater? It is literally the same night.
Also I don't know why I'm spoilering things. The movie is six years old, the comics older.
>>84287838
>>84287643
I don't want to live, bros.
>>84285157

The point was that they where both terrible for each other and instead of just letting it go they hold grudge to each other.
>>84287996
She's one of the few waifus any anon could get with
I read the entire series twice and barely remember any of it. Love the movie, though.
>You will never be there to sell out and make money and stuff
>>84288265
>ywn have a qt redhead gf to cuddle with
>>84287701
>but realized that wouldn't work for the same reason as why it wasn't in the comic
What reason is that? Scott ending up with Knives made more sense to me in the movie than it would've in the comic.
>>84288392
Because it would be going back to zero for him and represent no growth as a person. He is a shit, as was Ramona. Basically the point of the comic was them progressing to be less shitty people together. Wallace did not lie, Knives deserved better. But their relationship being amicable in the end was good.
>>84288379
I nearly did but I was too fucking stupid to change some relatively minor things to make it happen, which makes tf all the worse.
cool blog post I know.
>>84288446
Tell me more, brother. What happened?
Post more art or something. Please. My folder is pitiably small.
>>84288547
It was a couple of years ago now. If I actually think about it, I'll experience regret that my literal autism got in the way of knowing if any signals were being sent and so I erred on the side of caution, which meant inaction. There were a couple key points where said signals were not unclear at all. If I'd dropped a pseudo-thing with another girl earlier (which would have had no negative repercussions to this day) and/or if I'd been a little more assertive/self-serving instead of self-loathing/fearful (to the detriment of a bro (and it'd be a shame to lose him (tho probably it wouldn't have meant losing him depending on how early and how clearly I coulda communicated ~feelings~))), I might be with said ginge today (depending on how interactions with a fifth character_of_this_story would have gone).
Anyway here's another funnypic from back when SP was relevant to get shit back on topic.
>>84288825
>>84288825
Scott Pilgrim thread?
>>84289021
That is a joke right? Because X-Men was not obscure. That is just Scott being a shit.
>>84289021
>It's pretty obscure
Looking back, I think it's funny how many people that triggered. Maybe if it hadn't been posted all over /v/ and /b/ SP wouldn't be shunned so much.
>>84289088
Pls
I remember when everyone had a massive hateboner for this comic. What happened?
>>84289104
>tfw no animated series
Just give me this and I can die happy
>>84289190
Dont remind me pls
>>84289190
If done right and the art is 1:1 of the comic, it'd be pretty nice
>>84289150
The boner died off. The comic isn't funny at all and was obviously based on some fag's reaction to the cover of Volume 4 and nothing else.
Anyone have image files of the comic in whole? I own the BW comic physically, but I sometimes like to read shit on my phone when bored and am in a Scott Pilgrim mood now. Might be fun when work is slow these next few days.
>>84289225
A lot of people called Scott Pilgrim "PRETENTIOUS HIPSTER BULLSHIT" if I remember correctly.
Looking at the material /co/ has to read and watch now, Scott Pilgrim seems fairly tame by comparison.
>>84289225
I think he's talking about "the comic" named Scott Pilgrim. It's 6 volumes long? You may not have heard of it, it's pretty obscure.
>>84276407
Thing is, not all of us got to go to college. I dated a girl in college at that time while trying to save up for school. When we broke up i very much so just became Scott. And just like you said, I was/am a big loser but because of that I identified with Scott all that much more.
>>84289251
I have some cbzs, but I'm hardly gonna storytime >1000 pngs. I don't even have a 4chan pass, let alone a mass uploader.
>>84289358
Actually if you can throw the cbz files up onto a file sharing service you'd not need to.
>>84288430
Wouldn't agreeing to be with the real girl instead of the MPDG count as growth?
>>84289726
What is MPDG? Also maybe, I think it is important Scott ends with someone who isn't Knives, Lisa or Kim, as much as I might prefer those to Ramona.
>>84290335
MPDG stands for Manic Pixie Dream Girl, which is what Ramona is.
>>84290396
I dunno, she's a lot less quirky than that implies. If anything she's kind of a normal if slightly weird person with a lot of baggage. She only seems manic pixie before you get used to her in book 2 or so.
>>84290396
I don't know where this notion comes from: she isn't an MPDG by the definition of MPDG at all. She has the wrong personality type.
>>84289719
Good point.

Couldn't find anywhere that'd accept the whole ~180MB for vol 6 in one go, but I didn't look very hard.
There's also the FCBD comic but in case 1339's actual capacity is small I don't wanna bump vol 1 off. I had to upload nearly everything twice cos it'd "finish" but not give a link. I don't know how to computer.
I was pretty pissed off that Envy wasn't playable in the game. Instead we got fucking Nega-Scott, a palette-swap who had like 1 unique move. They already had most of the animations they needed from her boss fight, and it's not like they cared about letting you play as characters who appeared in the background (Wallace), were used in every other character's special moves (Knives), or boss fights (NEGA-SCOTT).
Of course, I'm even more pissed off that my PS3 broke so I'll never get to play it again. It had issues, like how obnoxious the River City Ransom elements were, but it was a fun game. They should release it on Steam, or make a fighting game or something.
>>84290755
I'm more pissed off that you can't buy the dlc stuff anymore (probably even the game). I missed out on Wallace.
>>84290576
You're a hero, anon. So nothing needs to be altered but removal of spaces in the link?

It would've been perfect on Steam or even Humble Bundle. Why didn't Universal Studios think of the PC market?What features would you add in a PC version of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game, /co/?

The people who hate everything because it's popular to virtue signal their outsider status don't have to because it isn't popular anymore; it's possible to see the story as more than pandering now that the hipster era is kinda done with; the only people who still care about it are the ones who liked it.

She's a MPDG in the same way the protagonist of Eternal Sunshine is, which is she's a realistic portrayal of the kind of real girl the MPDG was derived from. Her fickle nature comes from a deep emotionally problem rather than from being quirky and energetic while also somehow interested in nursing depressed guys out of their depression. MPDG is just wish-fulfillment by people who never dated an actual MPDG.
>>84280503
>>84280669
What did Scott do to her while they were together? Or didn't do, for that matter.
I read it not long ago, still in college.
So I was supposed to relate to the characters 'cause I'm the same age, but I couldn't. The comic is so preachy on telling me that the MC is a shitty person. And then, there was the Envy arc that I just didn't get it.
Nigga did nothing wrong.
>>84291393
>MPDG

Speaking of that OP, did Scott become a good person by the end? The impression I got was that Ramona was a fucking wreck and Scott remained a manchild, but neither was in any further state to 'fix' each other or continue their relationship or themselves.
>>84271746
It's like a harem series but in reverse, in fact it shits over that whole romantic ideal and might leave you dissatisfied with the ending when you realize it's message is poignant.
