Now that the dust has settled, can we finally answer the most controversial question to ever grace /co/ boards? Did Scott Pilgrim vs. the World ruin a whole generation of women or were they a lost cause in the first place? Is there anything redeeming about this shitty series?
Didn't you make this thread already?
>>22321 I didn't, but I sincerely miss the days of having an excuse to shit on Scott Pilgrim, so if there is an existent thread, I'd be glad to join in there.

>>22320 >Did Scott Pilgrim vs. the World ruin a whole generation of women or were they a lost cause in the first place? (((Feminism))) ruined women. SPvsTW just added fuel to the fire. I never read the books because fuck that Calarts-looking motherfucker, but the movie was enraging. >"Hey, I sure do like that narcissistic girl who has a huge bodycount and who has left a trail of unhappy people in her wake!" >"Aren't you dating a high schooler?" >"Yep! I'm also sharing a bed with a homosexual." >"AHA! We are the seven whatever exes! We're hear to stop Ramona from ruining another person's life!" >"Well, I'm going to fight you all for the right to be Ex #8!" >"You're retarded."

>>22334 The movie seems to have a greater level of self-awareness than the books. A lot of the jokes can be interpreted as mocking hipsters and pseudonerd soyboys, but it's vague enough that these people can see themselves in them and not realize they're the punchline. The comic basically stops at "Scott is kinda an asshole, too!". I get the sense the author was working through some stuff and has a lot of self-loathing, but their friends (and thus Scott's) are all perfect and can do no wrong. And of course Ramona was based on his whore girlfriend (and now ex-wife) so outside of some character development she's basically perfect, too.

>>22349 >Gee, who could have possibly seen that coming? The vast majority of Leafs who saw the bullshit marketing campaign promoting latter day hipster Toronto for this film. And a good chunk of the audience that left once word of the film's limited novelty wore out. It had a Spoony Curse on it.
>>22443 Difference is Spoony still never made a movie.
>>22340 Ye cats, look at that greasy, evil face. I wonder how many men she's accused of rape after punching them in the mouth?

>>22320 >Did Scott Pilgrim vs. the World ruin a whole generation of women or were they a lost cause in the first place? Nope, it does provide a framework for how a modern "liberated" woman should act like in Ramona, but the character was never meant to be taken as a role model (regardless of what people thought of her lifestyle). Women were going down that path regardless of some indie comic book being a sleeper hit. >Is there anything redeeming about this shitty series? See, you're looking at it through the critical lenses of today. Objectively speaking, Scott Pilgrim is bad comic with some interesting ideas that are held back by the referential and meta humor. The issue is that you're looking at it as if it's something that came out in the 2020s, or even in the 2010s, but it's a 2000s series sure, the movie and last chapter came out in 2010, but by all accounts it's about people living in the before-smartphone-era. It was deemed ground breaking at the time because it employed a bit of internet humor, which was starting to become trendy, had REFERENCES (and we weren't fully into the references as comedy mood of the 2010s), characters that were morally gray but depending on the perspective could be interpreted any way you wanted, copious amounts of degeneracy, a simple art style so it was easy to replicate and it was indie, perceived as counter culture at a time when being self-publishing really meant something. I liked it at the time and obsessed over bits of it but I distinctively remember a couple of years after the movie came out being filled with second hand embarrassment remembering it. The highlight of the series will always be Rockcock64 bullying Biran o' Manlet into shutting down his deviantArt account. Most e-celeb may be shit or turn into shit, but I like remembering the good they did.

Back when this shit was relevant, /co/ knew to not even bother discussing it, so as to not let hipsters (the future SJWs) think they had a home here. Every mention of Scott Pilgrim would simply be met with the response of "hipster trash." And this was the board that allowed bronies to be birthed, and SJWs to invade and take over cuckchannel. But even they knew to not tolerate the hipster trash that is Scott Pilgrim.
The weirdest thing about the original movie is how many future stars and recognizable B-listers are running around in it. It's like they made a blood pact with the devil prior to filming. Chris Evans, Cheese Larson, Brandon Routh, that guy from Westworld and Pacific Rim, etc.
>>33364 Must suck being type-casted as a loser
>>33374 I'm sure he dries the tears with the money his six figure income brings in.
>>33370 Chris Evans was Captain America the same year. He was also The Human Torch twice, and in a bunch of other stuff, even if he wouldn't be called A-List. But I laughed at Not Another Teen Movie. Brandon Routh was also already Superman, and it's not like he ever got much more famous than that.
What would be the age of the characters now?
Post the video
>>33384 Break it down niggas *shakes tight booty*
>>33385 Assuming the comics take place in 2004 when they were first published. Scott: 42 Ramona: 43 Knives: 36 If it's 2010 when the comics finished being made, Scott:36 Ramona:37 Knives:30
>>33384 >Brandon Routh was also already Superman, and it's not like he ever got much more famous than that. Unless you count his weird Booster Goldesque version of the Atom.
>>33424 Routh got jewed, big time. Thanks to the ending to Ted, all the blame was placed on him and not the writers or the director or, hell, the COSTUME DESIGNER of Superman Returns. He had Christopher Reeve's huge red boots to fill. For me, Routh was the least of the bullshit with that movie. >Lois gives birth to a super-baby, but somehow can't manage to be the feminist icon she pretends to be and raises the son alone. So she ends up cucking Kal-El. The only worse super-girlfriend is Atom Eve for murdering Invincible's baby in the womb >Krypton somehow still existed >Superman left Earth defenseless so he could explore his roots. Guess he forgot about THE ENTIRE KRYPTONIAN DATABASE STARRING MARLON FUCKING BRANDO back at the Fortress of Solitude >Lois cheats on her husband >Superbaby throws a piano at the henchmen after being a sickly, asthmatic puke. Did Lois force him to live in Seattle or Vancouver, where there's no actual sunlight? >Lex Luthor asks "whose kid is that?" Right, because the genius villain put 2 and 2 together and came up with 22. Lex wouldn't ask that. Lex would start rubbing his hands together in glee. >cringey redo of the "flying with Superman" thing from the first movie >kryptonite island >etc. It's been awhile since I last inflicted it on myself, but Routh did a decent job, considering.
>>33424 Remember he was meant to be Ted Kord till DC randomly changed their minds and said no at the last minute. There was loads of foreshadowing his appearance.
>>33425 >So she ends up cucking Kal-El. No, she doesn't cuck Kal-El, she cucks Cyclops. >>Krypton somehow still existed No, it didn't. But Superman heard it might, so he went to check, leaving Earth for five years, only to find "nope, it did blow up after all, just like my space-dad and General Zod told me." Good thing there were no Zod or Luthor-tier threats during that time. >>Superbaby throws a piano at the henchmen after being a sickly, asthmatic puke. Did Lois force him to live in Seattle or Vancouver, where there's no actual sunlight? I think you're supposed to think that his powers kicked in due to age, not that he had never been exposed to sunlight. Of course, in Superman 1 Kal was lifting a car the instant he arrived on Earth, but I guess we can chalk up the difference to the kid only being a half-breed. The Kryptonite Island was alright. I think that's a perfectly serviceable Luthor plot. But yeah, the movie has a whole lot of problems, and Routh wasn't one of them. Whoever greenlit a movie where Lois cucks Cyclops with Superman's kid was the problem. >>33433 Legends of Tomorrow was clearly supposed to be Justice League International anyway. Atom was Beetle, Rip Hunter (who acts like a buffoon in the show, unlike the comics) is Booster, and Fire and Ice were replaced with Heat Wave and Captain Cold. Also, the original comic miniseries where the JLI was formed was called Legends, and the heroes in it are called "the legends" by the narration, until they formally become the JLI the next time they appear. But ironically, though the JLI was made because the people doing Justice League weren't allowed to use any of the good characters, they made the d-listers too popular, and then 30 years later the tv shows weren't allowed to use them, so we got the replacements for the replacement Justice League.
>>33433 >Remember I never watched that shite, friend. I just know about it from when nerd sites or youtubers mentioned it. Blue Beetle II makes a lot of sense for the direction they went, but they should have just made him Ted Kord, instead. >>33435 >No, she doesn't cuck Kal-El, she cucks Cyclops. She cucked them both, really. And I'd forgotten the reason he'd headed there, but it amounts to the same thing: abandoning earth and his loved ones for no good reason. Terrible writing. >Legends of Tomorrow was clearly supposed to be Justice League International anyway With all the problematic fun removed, I assume.
>>33437 >With all the problematic fun removed, I assume. Well the show didn't really have a Guy Gardner or Maxwell Lord replacement, as far as I recall. I hear they changed the entire cast over time, but Season 3 was so fucking bad that I couldn't watch more than a couple episodes. The showrunner said he changed it (made it bad) on purpose to spite Trump. Because you know that 70 year old man is following the CW DC "Arrowverse." So the showrunner had them go to the future where "religion" is outlawed, because you know those darn atheists. But no, it's supposed to be about Islam, because they pick up Isis, who is now muslim, even though she gets her powers from the fucking Egyptian gods, and therefore knows for a fact islam is wrong. Anyway I stopped watching there. Oh yeah, and the episode where they go back in time and meet Helen of Troy, who is so attractive that all the men are essentially brainwashed, but for some reason the token lesbian on the team isn't effected, even though this would be the one time to make her being a carpet-muncher actually relevant. But of course it would conflict with the feminism of the episode, so can't have that. But Season 2 didn't have any of that shit and was actually pretty cool. Reverse Flash is the main villain and he's better than on the actual Flash show. Though Season 2 of that was pretty cool too. Smallville is the only actually good CW show, though. It died just before SJWs ruined everything.
>>33374 Money doesn't matter if the cattle remains loyal.
>>33366 Hipsters were nowhere near as dangerous as the Steven Universe fandom. Scott Pillgay in general is more amusing in a cringeworthy way than hazardous.
>>33486 Hipsters are the forefathers of what we have now. They pretend to be counterculture while actually trying as hard as they can to fit in with what they see as cool. SJWs are just that same principle applied to politics.
>>33486 >Hipsters were nowhere near as dangerous as the Steven Universe fandom. Literally the same, back in the early 2000s these fucks were the biggest dudebro tryhard poseurs too. They're cattle who need to fit in, no matter what.
>>33334 Pretty much. Anybody taking that song seriously is retarded. It's funny but it's a joke
>>34056 Yeah, women were shit and scene girls existed way before Scott Pilgrim. The fucking book and the movie even shit all over Ramona.
>>34059 Doesn't change the fact that it helped to popularize it.

When the movie came out, I remember talking to a coworker who felt that the series spoke to him. So, I looked it up, and ... bitch with seven evil exes sounds like she has serious interpersonal issues she needs to work out before jumping back into the dating scene. Never understood the series. Still don't.
>>38064 It's all "old skool vidya and indie rock and pop culture references! You like that stuff, right millennials?" Stuff for the kind of hipster who was in their early to mid twenties in the mid to late 2000's and who would be pushing forty now.
>>38065 > who was in their early to mid twenties in the mid to late 2000's and who would be pushing forty now That's the thing, though: this describes me and I never got the series. The back cover description of the plot was unappealing to me. Maybe I don't understand because I didn't date as a high school student?
>>38072 Yes. It's for hipsters. It's for people who want to pretend to be nerds for some sort of counterculture points, but would never want to actually be nerds or mistaken for it, because the point is they want the counterculture points to look cool, and if they were actually nerds they wouldn't be cool.
>>38065 So the forced reference made it up for his mediocre writing? Because Kim Pine already debuted in a comic that got buried through the years.
