What’s wild is that they’re telling the creator of the series he’s betrayed his series as if he has no say or control over his own creation. He already said this was an alternate timeline/universe so they have the freedom to do whatever they want. It’s great to get a fresh new story as a result, and the online Scott…

And imagine the dunderhead logic of pointing to fucking *South Park* to support this argument.

It’s the fact that it’s EVERY. SINGLE. Franchise and adaptation.

“Most “angry white guys who hate women, etc” aren’t upset that women can be heroes, or black people are replacing white characters, or that LGBT stories extist”

And yet you still wrote multiple paragraphs about why you’re mad about it.

The thing is that you “angry white guys” also react this way to comics that had “strong female characters” and “LGBT stories” from the beginning. Like Scott Pilgrim. Which first came out in 2004.

The 2010 movie came out too soon to include one LGBT storyline, and minimized the other because of time constraints. That’s…

“Most “angry white guys who hate women, etc” aren’t upset that women can be heroes, or black people are replacing white characters, or that LGBT stories extist. They’re annoyed at the enormity at which those things happen, often seeming extremely deliberate in it’s attack on “straight white men”.”

“They’re annoyed at the enormity at which those things happen, often seeming extremely deliberate in it’s attack on “straight white men”

Oh come on. As a straight white man, absolutely none of those stories with female or minority or LGBTQ even remotely feel like an “attack”. You know why? Because I’m a well adjusted…

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…

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.

People incapable of character growth hate character growth. 

It was advertised with scenes from the initial episode, and the trailers said absolutely nothing explicit about it “being a faithful adaptation of the original comic”, so you’re wrong and that’s on you for making assumptions. I mean seriously, real question, did you honestly expect them to come right out and say “Yeah…

Scott Pilgrim is essentially the comics version of 500 days of Summer. People like it and relate to it for the wrong reasons without understanding the core of the story is that Scott is shitty.

Raichu fans, rise up!

Walking simulators have narrow appeal so it only seems pejorative in use by that nature. 

Peacock is great! Girls5Eva, the _exceptional_ We Are Lady Parts, Poker Face, Mrs Davis, Brooklyn 99, Grand Crew and more besides. They have a great selection these days. 

I can get Peacock for $5 a month. My adblocker works on it. It has a lot of old favorites like Law & Order, Psych, Monk, Columbo, Brooklyn Nine Nine, Quantum Leap, etc. The perfect background listening streaming service to me

The term “walking simulator” still seems grimly bogged down by a pejorative misinterpretation, so I use it carefully to describe Polish developer Starward Industry’s extraordinary recreation of this tale of planetary exploration, nanotechnology, and the human drive for survival.

Yeah no, I don’t have Netflix, I cancelled it long ago because it kept getting more and more expensive. I do, however, have Peacock, it’s cheap, has The Office, and gets quite a few other things that make it worth it. Weird insult/flex, many, many people have been dropping Netflix due to the constant price hikes and…
