This is one of the many reasons I’ve started collecting blu-rays and 4k discs in 2023.
as an aside, I really don’t get this modern “hater” culture that’s grown.
The whole point is the meta commentary. Doing it the way you described absolutely removes that point, which makes it easier to view it as an alt version of Scott Pilgrim without any connection to the source material.
The problem is not the anime...but it’s of people who get angry that they got “hoodwinked” because they…
A recent poll on a 70,000 member Scott Pilgrim community returned a 93% positive reaction from fans on this netflix series.. the “backlash” are just from a vocal minority of people who complain and whine online. The creator of the Scott Pilgrim has already stated this is an alternate universe/timeline, which affords…
People: I don’t want spoilers in trailers
Man I’m a huge Star Wars fan and the “Rey’s parents didn’t matter” was the best thing they could have possibly done and I hate that they immediately undid it. Fuck turning every franchise into a dynasty. Do I gotta find out later that like Kit Fisto had super special Jedi parents too?
I feel the same right now about…
Yeah. I had it on my list of “I’ll probably get around to it eventually”, then started hearing chatter that they did something different with it, which piqued my interest.
Then I hit the end of episode one, went “WHAT” and was HOOKED and binged the rest of the series right then and there.
“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”.”
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
It literally is an adaptation. Adaptation doesn’t mean “exactly the same thing as the source.”
The original series was about a guy fighting his girlfriends seven evil ex boyfriends who were all given the personalities of pop culture archetypes in video gamesesque battles.
It is as satisfying of an ending as both the movie and the comic.
I don’t know, but I am currently level 54 and I have not even cracked the starting questline. I told constellation I needed time and went off exploring. I did the CF/UC Questline, and the FC Questline. Basically been exploring all over visiting different planets and seeing what’s out there. There is a lot to explore.…
This site regularly criticizes C-suite executives of gaming companies, and this article is explicitly about female journalists and developers. That’s the text of this article. Representation in this context refers to the gaming news desks that cover games and the development teams whose labor produces the games we all…
Keeping the masses divided benefits ALL of the power-hungry industries and institutions.
That’s disappointing but not totally surprising to hear about with PC Gamer. I go there mostly for hardware recommendations and the occasional review, and I think the staff isn’t terrible, but the comments on that site are 99.9% rotten. And have been for years, telling me that while they put out the occasional…
I’ve become the opposite over the last couple years and Game Pass is the pretty easy reason why. Because there’s just so much stuff to play on Xbox it’s become my default gaming machine. The PS5 only gets turned on for the big exclusives.
