That’s exactly how I saw it, including personalities. If Nega Scott is a really nice guy, what does that mean for regular Scott?

I’m pretty sure I’m going to enjoy this, but it’s pretty tone deaf of the creators to have this be the first adaptation of Scott Pilgrim in forever. Fans of the comics have probably been wanting a more direct, faithful adaptation for forever, fans of the movie probably aren’t interested in something that looks like

Idk I feel like Ramona Flowers Takes Off would have sold about as well, if advertised like that. 

That’s not the same as standing on its own. That is a “previously on”.

It does give him a kickstart, but New Timeline Scott just, doesn’t get a chance to make his own mistakes. It’s like showing Episode 3 Anakin a picture of Luke and a brief explanation of why Padme really died, and he goes like “oh, ok, then I guess I’m no longer evil”.

For what it’s worth, I’m really enjoying the series so far (about half way through.) But I think I would have liked it better if it was called “Ramona Flowers Takes Off.” I’m all for a good meta twist; in fact, I love them. But as another commenter said, this feels specifically designed to bait viewers into

Ehhhh, it’s arguably closer to a sequel than an adaptation. The first episode is an adaptation, everything after is a sequel taking place in the same chronological space, like, the present day scenes in Back to the Future 2

I have the opposite issue, I think this cuts out all of Scott’s character growth. It does leave a solid chunk of Ramona’s, but Scott had to basically speedrun his growth from a two-timing loser to a mature individual who is worthy of Ramona’s affection in the space of two sentences to Knives (who, was actually reduced

My thinking is, it does not stand on its own, and as the only animated media we have, that sits alone on a streaming service, it should.

To echo my sentiments from the review thread - I absolutely enjoyed the Netflix series and its changes, it fleshes out a bunch of characters that were only broadly sketched out in the original. I can sympathize with creators who want to shake things up and not rehash the same story over and over.

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 says Scott Pilgrim on the package - no one enjoys having the old switcheroo on the main protagonist. That’s 101 stuff, guys

The troll being a jerk about kids here has recently changed his account from this:

Sounds almost as stupid as you getting mad about it.

I’ve said this before, but as a person who never owned an NES or a GameCube and finally got a chance to play Ducktales, Windwaker, and Twilight Princess on the WiiU, I am very happy I got one.

I also bought mine used, so IDK if that would influence the sales any.

I picked up my Wii U back in 2019 used for $129 (32GB), and even though Nintendo shut down the store (perish the thought they would have had their first party games on sale for it), I’ll never regret buying it.

Persona 4 alone guaranteed I would never regret buying a Vita.

As the owner of both a Wii U and a Vita, I have no regrets about buying either one. Are they the best systems? No. Did I get my money’s worth out of them? Absolutely.

I wanted to buy one maybe 6 months before they announced everything was shutting down forever and the best I could find online was around 400 dollars and I know damn well theres an Indiana Jones warehouse full of them why is this as much as a Switch
