I dont really know, I watched this movie some days ago and for me it was boring asf, must be some milenial type movie
keyed zoomer
Ruined a generation of women and Kim is best girl.
>women
Millennial women did not even see this movie. It ruined a generation of guys by making them think that a guy like Michael Cera could pull all those women
A guy like Michael Cera absolutely could pull arthoes. They fricking love obnoxious dorks with no sense of shame.
Only works if you are tall.
>how influential is this movie really?
the influence of this move is vastly overrated by shitposters like . In reality, it was not that influential. More symptom of something already in motion than cause
this was only popular among reddit nu-males
women just adopted the iconography for attention the same way cosplayers do slave leia
>this was only popular among reddit nu-males
True. I remember back in the day I had a friend who was the stereotypical aughts nerd liberal atheist and he loved this movie. He read all the comics the movie is based on and bought the game. Idk why it appeals to those types so much
no but the comic was. You had to be there
not at all. the movie flopped at the box office.
i don't think it was influential at all. it was some literal who comic book movie from what i recall that not many people were interested in.
there would've been sequel if it was actually profitable
>there would've been sequel if it was actually profitable
Are you moronic or pretending to be stupid?
probably both? dunno. i don't remember anyone giving a shit about that movie except one friend who somehow knew of those comics and as far as i know there never was another film. might be wrong who knows. i watched the movie, it was okay. kinda nerd movie at the time i guess?
>probably both? dunno
That would be correct considering they adapted the entire series in the movie so there was no way a sequel would ever have been made.
The movie is fine for what it is. Some people were into the graphic novel given its cult appeal to East Coast USA introvert nerds who were into gaming, weebshit and indie music and Scott Pilgrim sorta did all of them in a way that wasn't too cringe.
Being tall helps but its not the end all be all. Fricking Paul Simon is a borderline midget and he pulled Carrie Fisher.
> they adapted the entire series in the movie so there was no way a sequel would ever have been made.
i might be moronic and stupid but i don't think that has ever stopped anyone making stuff if there's money to be made
>just be Paul Simon, a famous musician with multiple #1 hits and platinum albums who is a multimillionaire
Never read the comics, but I remember the movie was kind of a big deal in the nerd world at the time since it actually licensed the Great Fairy theme music from Legend of Zelda and a few other tendie references.
Insane to think what Toronto was like in 2010 compared to the third world Dubai tier real estate jeetscape clown hyperreality it is today.
It was basically the same except rent wasn't as expensive and there weren't as many Indian students coming here to work as glorified slave labour.
and there was still some soul left
Jesus christ. We have to go back.
No, the city has changed completely in the last 10 years, but then so has the rest of this shithole country. Condos gobbled up all the cool little places, especially concert halls. The scamdemic was the final nail and now half the shops are gone.
It was actually pretty reddit tier. It was a staple of fedora gay core. It definitely wasn't influential. There were girls who already had that dumb style of hair and were pretending to be gamer grrls. But most girls were more influenced by Beyonce at the time.
Oldgay here, this is correct. Most of /b/ derided it as not only weeaboo shit, but even worse- wannabe weeaboo.
At the time I thought it was cringe shit for people even more nerdy and pathetic than I
PUTA
I'm not a fan of Michael Cera, like at all. I cannot buy him being the nerdy guy women would fawn over. At least the kind of actresses you see in the movie. Because he is on the big screen you have to believe it.
Puta actually looks cute with dyed blue hair. 99% of other women look like shit trying the same.
Honestly I think that men like this movie more than women. Women these days don't want to be "saved" by an awkward early-twenties guy with a weak chin and nasally voice, so I don't think there was a whole generation of women that saw Ramona as some kind of ideal self-insert. Scott is definitely a self-insert for young socially inept white men; he does nothing to improve his image or build a career yet has a circle of friends and women that want to be with him. This is the western equivalent of harem anime that is popular with otaku in Japan. At least in Japan they have enough dignity to write all of the anime girls as being pure teenage virgins.
Uglybros...
He's not even ugly. He's just not handsome.
>women would rather be slaves than marry an ugly guy
but if you're a slave you dont get to choose your master so that ugly guy is gonna buy you and frick you in the ass as much as he wants
i literally look like the guy in that pic and I have no trouble with women irl. obviously tinder is a lost cause cause it's full of those aging, chronically single twitter thots who think they deserve top men while they've got a decade or more of promiscuous baggage and their carton is almost empty.
>i literally look like the guy in that pic
no you dont
I really do. balding and all. i'm also completely average height at 5'10.
Then what kind of girls do you pull? Women in their late 20s or college girls?
for men its all about status
if you look at this guy and think he is an office worker you get the ick
but what if he was a famous musician or director? suddenly he's hot
>but what if he was a famous musician or director? suddenly he's hot
You realize that being a "famous musician or director" applies to 0.001% of the general population, right? And half of them end up that way through nepotism, not hard work.
which is the precise reason why allowing women to join the workforce en mass was disastrous for birth rates. aside from the fact that it devalued white collar labor and created an environment where women are loyal to corporations instead of family, women replaced men in these jobs and now see them as either lower status due to being blue collar workers, or as "equal" low status coworkers, so now almost no men are high enough status to appease these women despite the fact that people in general haven't really changed at all except for this illusory cultural shift in "status"
>but what if he was a famous musician or director? suddenly he's hot
Not true anymore. If they’re unattractive those men get metoo’d and cancelled for abusing women using “power dynamics”
no, i don't remember anyone really talking about it back then. saw it with a girl I was sleeping with at the time tho and it was pretty fun.
It's less that it was influential than it was that it captured a mood that was prevalent at the time.
Came here to say this, it just so happened to be at the crest of that wave of sort of hipster nerd stuff. It didn't influence others so much as it took on all the influences from that trend and just put them all into a single neat package
It was a notorious flop.
Cinemaphile had fun mocking it.
First half was amazing — ending sucked. There is simply no way any straight man would choose the used up ran through unable to pair bond or care about you prostitute over Knives. Maybe it was a statement on how moronic western men have become but I doubt it.
but she was le 17 years old
Original ending had him choose Knives but test audiences didn't like it. I always thought Knives was obviously the better choice than Puta, but I guess it seemed unfair for her to end up with Scott when she deserved better.
was Knives of age by the end? I thought the fact that she was underage was part of the problem with the relationship in the movie.
no, she's specifically stated to be 17 at the beginning and time barely passes by the end of the time. In the comic she is 18 by the end because it takes place over a longer period.
maybe that's why they hated it. Even if in the movie version of the story it feels better because knives was around more and the parts with ramona where rushed and they skipped her back story and all that shit.
>Original ending had him choose Knives but test audiences didn't like it.
This had to be the result of test audiences being mostly woman.
>You mean the BPD bawd is held accountable for her actions and doesn't get a free pass into a good relationship once she's ready to settle down?
>REEEEEEEEE BAD ENDING CHANGE IT
I mean, in the comics, Scott stays with Ramona, both are such a mess, they deserve each other
White women with 100 partners >> Virgin chinese girl
If you care about your child inheriting your racial characteristics, having a genetic identity and connection to their ancestors and also not being a dysgenic hapa hybrid child.
wonder if you'll still be saying that after your roastie wife divorces you and takes the kids and half your livelihood
you do know that women retain DNA from all the guys she's had cum inside her, right?
if you want your kid to have your genetic identity then you should go with the virgin chinese girl
there are a lot of reasons not to date a prostitute, but some incel pseudoscience that originated from a clickbaiting moron misinterpreting an old study on dead autopsied women who retained fragments of DNA from their own male children while pregnant with them isn't one of them.
Nobody in the real world gives a frick about that. Finding a woman who actually loves you and isn't the PITA to live with is much more important. If the mom is a moronic prostitute then your kids are gonna be frickups no matter how white they are.
Scott never got over Envy dumping him. He stagnated hard after she left him and his dream of being a cool rockstar imploded. So while Knives was always fun, it sort of reminded him again and again that he wasn't where he dreamed of. Then Ramona showed up and suddenly he had his chance to be a rockstar with a new mysterious, cool girlfriend. He felt like he had to pick her even though there were huge red flags.
That's sort of why I like Scott Pilgrim. It's more about Scott getting over his past girlfriends and baggage than just Scott beating up dudes to get Ramona.
Scott learning to move past a breakup is one aspect of his development but the main theme is Scott learning to stop treating relationships as an extension of his fantasies. He chooses girls based on the niche they fill in his life, not actually appreciating them as people. In the comic he regularly completely forgets about girls he dated for months because the fantasy ended for him.
Scott is a genuinely douchbag and I'm not sure why people like him. You're not supposed to like him.
I don't know what this is but I want to frick the living shit out of that woman with the blue hair everytime I see her.
the movie was shit, michael cera and the girls give off annoying gossipy highschool bullshit vibes. but there was one funny scene that I like quoting
This film influenced awful films like The Flash and Ant-Man
Almost nobody saw it when it came it out.
it wasn't influential really because it always appealed to a small audience. the comic was done by one guy. the game was made by a skeleton crew. the animated show looks cheap.
Edgar Wright inflated the value of the series massively by directing the adaptation. nobody would have even heard of this series if not for that.
Choose
just call me benchod bastard because I'm choosing bottom right.
Julie even if her superpower is to make her boyfriends gay.
Scott's sister. She is hot as frick.
649215738
What do the numbers mean!?
Which site do I plug this into?
Ramona, Julie, Envy, and the two chinky girls are the only ones who look decent. The rest are uggos.
I want to smell Kim’s feet
Mouse all the way
SHE SAW RAMONA FLOWERS
AND FELT SO EMPOWERED
BY A MOVIE MADE
*snickers*
IN HOLLYWOOOD
i'd still hit if i coooould...
Literally began the trend of "blue hair makes me feel unique" among BPD bawds but BPD bawds existed in mass well before Ramona Flowers. Scott Pilgrim vs The World simply made the common public more aware to their behaviour
If you want someone to post the song just say so
There was a video game and a comic so it was fairly influential at the time.
Another piece of damning evidence that millennials are the cringiest generation
i have literally never heard anyone talk about it outside of this board
the scene and emo era is far superior, what the frick even was this trend era called again?
It was a complete flop and no one talked about it except nerds. It wasn't influential in any way and anyone who thinks otherwise because of a funny song is a coping moron.
It flopped in the box office really hard after an agressive marketing campaign. People shunned it because of anti-hipster sentiments. Being poor in a city and going to underground concerts and listening to vinyls while drinking craft beer was uncool. Then it was forgotten because it was a meh movie with a rushed story but above average editing.
>istening to vinyls while drinking craft beer was uncool.
>all the shitty homosexual "hay-ho" music and IPA craft beers with names like "todd the axeman" came out after this
Astroturfed history
scott pilgrim itself was about 2000's post punk hipsters, something that was dead by 2010 and what only people who were in their 30s would relate to when it actually came out
teenagers at the time, zillenials like me had read the comic, got all the vidya references in the movie, thought PUTA was hot in skyhigh,death proof final destination, listened to anamanaguchi who did the vidya soundtrack, I saw the movie opening night with other dirtbag Cinemaphile/vidya/EDM/juggalo friends from ALC/summer school
but the movie itself didnt even break even, im not even fricking sure if DVD sales got the movies money back
I need Kim feet
I saw this kino in the theater with the love of my life. This movie turned me on to Metric and now theyre one of my favorite bands. Seen them twice.
Nice. I always thought Emily looked a bit like Uma Thurman.
I really liked this movie when I saw it in high school in the theater but I recently watched it again and I almost died from cringe jfc my tastes must have been awful.
>how influential is this movie really?
Many films bombed the box office but became popular much later. A box office stinker can have cultural impact too, look at The Room.
