I loved the movie, but this is gilding the Lilly.
Netflix is quickly becoming a dumping ground for shitty remakes and films that studios didn’t believe were good enough to release on their own.
Students like Amazon Prime and HBOMax are about to become the masters if they aren’t already there.

The movie cut so much from the books. But that was to be expected when turning 6 books into 1 film.
The series has the opportunity to explore the plot points that were cut from the books. I'm interested.

The movie was also made before O'Malley finished the last volume of the comic, so you had two fairly different finales. I preferred the books' version because it gave Ramona a lot more agency.

"How did our anime adaptation for a movie that did not make much money not make us much money!?" *Cancelled*
I love Scott Pilgrim and I get it's now kind of turned into a cult classic but I really don't think this is going to be the blockbuster Netflix wants or thinks it is going to be.

I get that the movie wasn't the full story from the comics.
I hope that the hardore comic fans realize that a huge part of the movie's cult success is just that its so unique. There's no other movie like it.
It's sort of comparable Sin City in that t's not a classic because its such a fantastic story that needed to be adapted, it's the style of the film. The stories are just kind of average.

Like...everyone.

Well, that's any pessimism I'd have about this nuked from orbit.
Not saying it'll automatically be good or anything, obviously, there is still potential for issues, but it's going to have about as much authenticity as you could possibly pump into it.

This might be my first shot at anime. I loved this movie and with everyone from the movie voicing their characters, I might actually be interested in this.

You know, you look at the cast and realise how the film was a breakout role for so many of its young actors; its crazy how so many went on to massive movie careers off the back of the film. I think Michael Cera and Jason Swartzman were the only big names in the cast at the time. Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Chris Evans were names, but had yet to go on to the much bigger things they did. Everyone else used SP as their jump off point to a successful career.

Now I’m curious about the artstyle. Will it be anime-esque or be true to the comics’ art?

I feel, a lot, like I'm the only person who can't stand this f***ing franchise. "The most epic epic to ever epic epicness epic epic epic" shut the f*** up. It's basically an entire movie made up of lines cribbed from Hot Topic t-shirts.

For anybody interested in this series, I would advise watching the movie first. Spoilers- if you have not seen the series but have seen the movie, do not click on this: {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}I absolutely loved the twist that this was a Ramona Flowers centric series with very little of Scott. I had the first episode on in the background and had to go back to it when the second episode opens with his funeral because I hadn't realized he was beat. A legitimately great fake-out that makes the anime differentiated from the movie and the graphic novel.
My only real critique is not a whole lot of Envy, but that's to be expected with Brie Larson being such a mega star with Marvel. |
