“You’re wrong about what what “angry white guys” are upset about!”

I read the comics just before the movie came out. I felt distinctly, that Scott was a giant asshole, I found him awful. It almost made me avoid the movie! The movie softened him somewhat, made him more likeable. 

I might just be sensitive to these things, I watched Emperors New Groove last year and hated Kuzco to the…

Scott Pilgrim literally took off though. Regular Scott left, albeit not intentionally, when he was kidnapped by Old Scott. Old Scott left Ramona because he felt rejected.

As a white male, something 90% of culture used to be aimed square at us. So now that its like down to approximately 75%, I get that it feels like a huge drop off. But to whine and moan about the awful “enormity” of how inclusive media properties are nowadays is just about the most pathetic thing I’ve ever heard.

“Stale, Male and Pale”

Put that on a t-shirt, why don’cha?

I mean, there’s an entire episode where Old Scott tells Regular Scott what the story should’ve been.

I can promise you that, if they’d advertised the twist, there’d be a ton of people complaining that “Boy, I wish THAT hadn’t been spoiled in the trailer!”

I remember when a friend in highschool first recommended Scott Pilgrim with me with the caveat that the characters and story was ‘kind of shallow.’ And while enjoyable, her assessment ultimately proved true, it was pretty shallow. That’s why I was so delighted that the anime zagged instead of zigged. I went from “Meh,…

Nega Scott, a physical manifestation of all of Scott’s flaws, down to short gags

This is a hilarious instance to get upset about what you’re claiming though. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is already a deliberate attack on the straight white male protagonist. Scott Pilgrim is not a likable character (that was a big part of why I had mixed feelings about the movie). The point is that he’s a selfish…

It literally is an adaptation. Adaptation doesn’t mean “exactly the same thing as the source.”

Nah, this was made for the fans and the fans wanted to see more content from all their favourite characters.

Nah, it was actually great, and a majority of the criticism comes from people who can’t process stories they don’t immediately relate to.

Would I have liked a straight up adaptation? Yeah I think so. Still would I think. But Takes Off was really great, even if it took me taking a break from the show for a bit to process that I was going to be watching something very different.

People incapable of character growth hate character growth. 

On that note, Stew Copeland, on top of being one of the greatest rock drummers to ever pick up the sticks, is a national treasure.

Given that it’s a restraining order, I assume both sides will have private eyes watching them, and seeing their every move.

You did just fine.

Don’t even think about it

I tried to come up with a better joke than that, but no can do.
