I’m all for aiming for a career as a filmmaker and having that career made up mostly of auteur projects. But AIMING to be an auteur? Like making that your goal? UGH. Is there any argument in favor of that approach that ISN’T wrapped up in egomaniacal control freak neuroses?

An asshole or an auteur?

I’m not the one whose prediction hasn’t borne out, dude.

He has not done anything of quality since Wilderpeople. The third best Thor movie, JoJo, which felt he was just trolling everyone who watched it. His acting performances, are disasters. 

Brace yourself for that shit to not happen, bruh.

the russo’s themselves are even a great example. they were an interesting choice and had done good work on tv, obviously elevated the mcu, and everything they’ve made since has been the worst stuff of their career.

It wasn’t on my plan for my career as an auteur.

But Scott is the one who takes off. That’s why he’s gone.

Actually the title is “Scott Pilgrim Takes Off” so you’re definitely getting what’s on the tin when you watch the show. Also is anyone legitimately a fan of Scott Pilgrim the character? He’s an intentionally unlikeable character until the later volumes when he starts growing up.

This is pretty clearly a “debate” that only applies to those that are terminally online. Watch it if you want or not, but if I let the fandom of various things determine what I watched I'd probably wouldn't watch much.

If we’re being nitpicky, it literally says “Scott Pilgrim Takes Off.” 

it also says “Take Off”. That probably means he took off, like he went somewhere.

I feel like the fan reaction was in the other direction there though, nobody wanted a remake of star trek 2 and they reasured everyone that it wasnt going to be that. Then it kinda was anyway.

It says “Scott Pilgrim Takes Off”. And he did exactly that.

It also says “Takes Off” in the title

Let’s not rewrite history now. People were pissed at Star Trek Into Darkness because they cast a white guy to play a brown guy and hid it by pretending he was a white guy (which John Cho openly mocked)

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.

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 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!”

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