He was given the time, resources, and got the people together to make this the best adaption of the original Scott Pilgrim story and instead of doing that it was an entirely different story for a cheap MGS2-esque bait and switch.
People keep bringing MGS2 up as if it's a valid comparison when it's really not. The themes and story work better with Raiden than Snake as Raiden is a new character while Snake completed his arc in MGS1. Also Snake isn’t completely taken out of the story unlike Scott. The themes of this show don’t really work very well with Ramona and has little depth imo
I find it kinda ironic that despite being about Ramona and her development it’s entire plot is still centered around Scott lmao
Ramona has a ton of development in the comic so this adaptation feels really useless and just gives us a boring whodunit story
This shitshow made me appreciate how Fnaf was adapted with the Fnaf Movie which was peak
Ep4 was the best but very low bar
Gideon (Now Gordon) gets together with Julie
They make you feel sympathy for someone who was a sexual abuser in the comics which they barly touch upon btw
Shits all over the point of the ending from the book by having some time travel/AU thing going on with Future Scott basically being from the Comic timeline and being divorced from Ramona ruining the ambiguity of the comic's ending
I have this theory that Future Scott took Present Scott away from the past where he made a new timeline (this show) meaning he never confronted Nega Scott which is why Future Scott is crazy and toxic
That might be too smart for my own personal theory that they didn't even think about for this show
New Scott Pilgrim content is fine but why did this shit have to be made if it couldn't even follow the first book
There wasn't really an attempt
>Lisa only gets a tiny cameo
I'll have to give it a 6/10 from the animation alone kinda want to give it a 7 because of 7 evil exes but nah
>Why couldn't they just adapt the comic that's all I wanted
It's just more proof that BLOM has always been a hack and Scott Pilgrim being decent was an accident
It was never meant to be a faithful adaptation, its only goal was to ruin a new generation of white people and it succeeded
It's fine that you don't like the new thing, but getting mad that it's not the old thing again is very silly.
No one's mad that it's not old thing
They're mad they were strung along
You already know that
>Strung along
That's still being mad at it being new thing instead of old thing rather than an opinion on the new thing.
Get over yourself.
>that's still being mad at new thing
no, it's being mad at deception
jump off a bridge
>No, I don't care that it's new, I merely care that I was tricked!
Bullshit. If it was marketed as a new show and was secretly an adaptation of SPvsTW, you'd be ecstatic.
>If it was marketed as a new show and was secretly an adaptation of SPvsTW
That'd be even more moronic and people would still be mad.
You enjoy creating strawmen to cut down, son.
>People would still be mad.
My fricking ass. As if there was a massive outrage when it turned out Joaquim was Kojima and his fire whale game was actually Metal Gear.
Don’t reply to homosexuals who say “son”. Just realize they’re homosexuals with no friends who sound like Mitch’s dweeby blond friend from Dazed and Confused.
like I said, enjoy fighting your strawmen.
>Get over yourself.
You first, b***h, stop crying that peeps are rightfully mad at false advertisement
>Completely anally annihilated that a surprise twist happened.
>Instead of talking about why you like or hate what you got, turn it into a whole thing about the show having the gall to deceive you.
>Somehow the people telling you to just talk about the show itself instead of your pride are the "homosexuals" of the situation.
I thought most Scott Pilgrim fans understood the book's whole deal about the problem of egocentrism. Guess not. It's understandable if you think the show sucks and feel the trick wasn't worth it, but shitting yourself because you got trolled is pathetic.
I called you a massive homosexual for doing what anon said
Why do you think complaining about complaining is more respectable than complaining about a cartoon. Which, again, I didn’t even do. I just said, correctly (judging by your immediate reference to anal), that you sound like a massive homosexual.
>I called you a massive homosexual for doing what anon said
But I didn't do that.
If you don't like it, cool.
Talk about why the show sucks instead of your gaping anus. Whining about how you were tricked is just narcissistic b***h behavior.
If you want to talk shit, talk shit instead of crying "BUT MY EGO WAAAAAH."
>more anal talk to prove you totally aren’t a homosexual
So are you implying I ever mentioned anything about being “strung along”?
Again, you whining about a random post on Cinemaphile is as pathetic as it gets. At least the whiny c**t had a complaint. You’re here policing the complaints people can express.
Stream your suicide if you’d like to do something useful.
Please, my dear troony homosexual. Nobody is buying your bullshit. Actually talk about the show or frick off. Several days of b***hing about being tricked is going to eventually lead to people saying "Yeah, okay, can you get the frick over yourself and either call the show itself good or trash?" I'm not interested in a lengthy "yuh huh/nuh uh." Talk shop or chop off your wiener.
>I-if I call you a troony I fit in and no longer am I the homosexual
Sounds good you whiny homosexual. Keep complaining about complaining.
You sound like a massive homosexual
>Strung along
>Different title from original
>Trailers contain multiple shots that weren't in the original
You're just mad they didn't make the product you imagined in your own head.
I just want a fully adapted and animated series that follows the original comic and adds some new changes that is all I’m asking for and it doesn’t cut stuff
If Invincible can do it why can’t Scott Pilgrim?
because the creator is up his own butthole and wanted to "fix it"
This
>NOOOOO YOU CAN'T CRITIQUE STUFF YOU SHOULD JUST WATCH AND PRAISE IT, IT CAN'T HAVE ANY FLAWS!!!!
All who defends it should be euthanized
You're right.
It's only an issue of it's a BAD adaptation or a character assassination like the mario movie
>yet this board fir whatever reason licked the balls off the mario movie despite it really being the peach movie with mario being shitted on at every turn and looking pathetic
But it's no use getting through to them, not like it's Wirth getting through to then anyway:
OP and his ilk are autistic. Autistic people get angry at change, like children.
Even though one of the THEMES of the story is growing up with and accepting change
If you got a problem with the end product, take it up with Bryan, this was always HIS story.
And I think he's based for doing what he wants with his characters.
Let your nuts hang, if you wanna do a random comic with Scott fighting cryptobros go for it.
A decent animated adaptation is what fans always wanted in the first place, not Michael Cera looking weird on screen with bad CGI.
The whole MG2 thing is so laughably infantile, literally knee jerk hating the game because it didn't exclusively feature your favorite action figure
Reminds me of how hard street fighter third strike was rejected because people wanted the boring as frick world warriors back despite their part 3 counter parts being way better
>Reminds me of how hard street fighter third strike was rejected because people wanted the boring as frick world warriors back despite their part 3 counter parts being way better
3rd strike is the third entry in the street fighter 3 series. SF3 failed when the first entry, SF3 New Generation, came out. The roster is shit compared to SFA2 and parry is kind of a shit mechanic. Also there's a good amount of broken stuff in it. By the time 3rd strike was released the fighting game market was super saturated and 3D was the new hotness. Games like Bloody Roar 2, DOA2, Marvel vs Capcom, MSvSF, etc all released in or around 99.
I know the "gamers are babbies who hate change" narrative is popular in some circles but picrel, the final fight crew, and some other standouts from the alpha series are all still fan favorites. SF3 was just a shitty game when it came out despite being beautiful.
Imagine b***hing about new content for a nearly 20 year old, semi-cult classic franchise. Just re read the comic you frickin moron.
>the comics are still there it’s not like they actually ruined them
I’m so sick of you apathetic consoomer homosexuals who refuse to allow people any sort of forum to complain. Whether social media, anonymous basket weaving forums, or even just hanging around with friends there’s always at least one of you homosexuals wondering aloud why everyone isn’t so dispassionate and accepting of absolutely everything other than complaints.
I hate you.
Just don't watch the show you clown, even if you don't like it, which you're absolutely allowed to, it doesn't retroactively ruin the comic.
Besides, b***hing about media is the gayest shit you can do
where the FRICK do you think you are right now
No the absolute gayest thing you can do is tell people that they have to not talk about something unless it’s praise and wait a half hour to bump the thread anyway keeping such discussion alive.
Take your own advice homosexual, get the frick out of the thread go make one to praise this dogshit, and stop engaging with people you clearly don’t find worth in finding a middle ground with.
>complaining about complaining is acceptable but complaining about media is not!
With zero smarm or condescension please explain why you think this makes you in any way superior to those you have chosen to engage with.
The biggest irony of all this is that the people going "I'm so glad we got NEW content!" don't realize that because of the backlash it's the only new content they'll ever get.
If they had just adapted the comic it could have revitalized the series and led to plenty of new content.
Not anymore lel.
>Just don't watch the show you clown
What's funny about this statement are the dumbasses deliberately forgetting that people are free to complain and give criticism if the trailer of a show/movie display that it will follow closely to the novels/comics, and when said show/movie does a good ol' bait and switch, and does the complete opposite, said dumbasses are mad and apathetic at that the viewers for being upset that the storylines they'd hoped to see on the screens turned into the bastardized version of itself. Yeah, they'll be mad. I get that not everything in a novel/comic will not work well on screen, but damn it, limitations forces creativity, at least compensate while trying to be faithful.
>the trailer of a show/movie display that it will follow closely to the novels/comics
It didn't, and you're a moron
I literally said it's fine to complain about the show, just stop being a thin skinned little b***h who feels personally slighted because you got tricked.
The frick is wrong with people these days? It's fine even if you want to say you would prefer an adaptation, just stop fricking crying about being duped. Holy shit.
>subverting expectations!
It was cool. Keep crying, homosexual.
It's Scott Pilgrim: Rebuild. I understand why people hate it but atleast he tried to do something different. I agree that an accurate adaption of the actual comics animated in this comic would be much better. They should have done an accurate adaption in S1 so it exists, then make S2 this Ramona alt universe spinoff.
>animated in this comic
animated in this style
It was good, stop whining
This is the same company that made he-man revelations. You really thought Netflix was going to make something good?
Unlike He-man ir actually was good lol
No I'm not reading your silly replies to me.
>it’s good cause it’s new, he-man bad because I don’t have to shill that anymore
Did you literally copy your comment from another thread and use it to start another one?
T. Spaz
Didn't this exact thread just happen yesterday?
The original comic is pretty mid, just 1-2-3 basic progression that the movie more or less did. Young Neil vocalized BLOs attitude about it in one of the episodes, that he just wrote it but doesn't feel like it's sacred or anything.
boo hoo homie
I just don't get it from a planning perspective.
He could have easily had this as his next project if he created a standalone product that could have been a hit, like a straight adaptation of the comic.
Instead he only gets this, and it's unlikely to bring in much of a new audience because it's very esoteric for a cartoon and a lot of cartoon fans don't read comics at all.
He hates his own work and wants to fix it
He's got George Lucas syndrome
Then fix it on round 2, he could have even called it Scott Pilgrim New Game+ or some shit.
Then why not just have the one have the fixes he felt were needed, but keep it standalone, instead of assuming this isn't the viewer's first time with the characters and story?
This shit happens all the time. It could have been a Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood instead of a Matrix Resurrections.
They didn't even continue the "the movie: the game" bit despite it being clearly what they were going for, especially with the musical.
I think my biggest problem with it (aside from being an 8 episode FF7R instead of a 24 episode anime adapting the comics definitively) is that this could have been Scott Pilgrim: Ramona side (her reconciling/closing the chapter with all of her exes herself) and just as easily ended up with the version of Scott that beats up all of the exes and self-actualizes just like ramona does, but it's instead just scott if everything that happens post-meeting ramona doesn't happen (but he's aware of it because he told himself).
I guess they didn't want to be another PARALLEL UNIVERSES franchise, as if time-travel is any different.
Other than that, I can't really say I disliked it, I just feel cheated.
the only people who care about scott pilgrim are white guys for some reason
Most of Scott Pilgrim's audience in general is white people, no one else really cares.
ah, that makes sense.
Dog...you seriously can't say the fnaf movie was GREAT.
It was decent, but they took the menace out of the animatronics
When picrel happened i rolled my eyes, albeit with a smile (since yes, it made sense these are children but it took all of the threat away from the animatronics from me)
If you're upset over Scott Pilgrim yiu should be upset about fnaf.
They took out all of what made the first game scary, no ambiance, cheap scares, barely any unsettling animatronic noises, but at least they had balloon boy lol
FNAF was nothing more than e-celeb shilled garbage.
>I hate that I can't self insert as Scott Pilgrim anymore!
This is literally the best version of Scott because he grew up this time. If you really see yourself as the old one 10 years later, then you have more problems than this adaptation lol. I've never seen so many guys mind broken over the dumbest shit.
So no one is going to mention how awful the voice acting is?
