silentbob Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I wonder if they would ask the movie actors to reprise their roles for the series? Probably only last a season anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kal-El814 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Few movies fumble the bag at the end as dramatically as Scott Pilgrim, but it’s very enjoyable other than that. Hope this turns out well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShader Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 The single post followed by '1 year later' had me in stitches. I'm not sure if it's actually funny or I'm still just waking up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if the ending to the comic book series is any better since I haven't read it, but I believe Scott Pilgrim wasn't done when the movie was made, so I believe they made up their own ending. Like with anime adapting unfinished manga, it doesn't usually go well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Scott Pilgrim is an odd one for me because I remember enjoying it greatly at the time and the couple of times I watched it once it hit Blu-ray, but I can’t remember almost anything that happens in the movie. Just random snippets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the movie is 100% setting up Scott and Knives being together and then they just… pivot to Ramona. This is a good thing overall; the book doesn’t do a GREAT job of establishing that Scott dating a teenager is problematic, but it tires. The movie doesn’t really do that much at all and it would have been wild for the two of them to end up together. It moves so fast and it’s so fun that none of this really sticks, but you know… don’t date high schoolers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the book ending do it better? The book fleshes out everything a bit more. Ramona’s obsession with Gideon isn’t a literal mind control chip, it’s emotional baggage. Gideon manipulates Scott’s memory via subspace, so it’s not just that he’s a space cadet with a bad memory. I think for both the comic and the movie, the setup is better than the finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, you can get way crazier with what you can do in the animated space, though the movie did its best in that regard thanks to Edgar Wright's direction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeon Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 I’ve watched a few episodes, and it is definitely doing its own thing, in a way that I find pretty compelling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moa Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Man the cast of the movie is absolutely bananas in retrospect, I'm glad they managed to get everyone to return for this because it would've felt weird otherwise. I've enjoyed the two episodes I watched and they really should disable auto credit skip for this one since both outro songs have been bangers.

Keyser_Soze Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I was on the fence on watching this but decided to watch a couple of episodes and glad I did. I would say it's exceeded my expectations. Really well done. They actually got a Japanese animation studio to work on the show (Science Saru) who have done some good stuff in the past. Colors are vibrant, voice acting is on point. Like Moa said don't skip the credits, so far the song is different each time. If you're worried that this is anything like the movie it seems to stray a long way away from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 I recommended this to my mom but she no longer has Netflix to mooch off of. So she went to one of her pirate streams but they only had the Japanese dub of it. Not bad honestly, different vibes, might even be slightly funnier. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69los Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 1. This was a highly enjoyable take. 2. I want the soundtrack to this. 3. In human-form, in alien-form, and now in cartoon-form, there seems to be an obsession with Mary Elizabeth Winstead's ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still like the movie a lot, but the bag fumbling with the ending as well as the movie's strange notion that Scott and Knives should end up together is really fucking weird in hindsight. It just skates because the affair is so kinetic and fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Something I caught in the credits was that Ilya Kuvshinov had something to do with the show.

Greatoneshere Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I finally got around to watching this and just finished it - it's really good! Not entirely surprising given it's animated by Science Saru who are always artistically interesting but the show is fun, well-written and really well directed with a lot of imagination. It's incredible executive producer Edgar Wright was able to get the entire cast back for this, especially since many of them are even bigger names today than they were back then, voice acting in what is essentially an anime. And they did great. I'm intrigued now to finally play the game - it's interesting to see this specific story get told in four different mediums in four sometimes very divergent and different ways (comic book, live-action film, video game, now animated show). I've heard the game is good so definitely at some point. It's strange the showrunners say they have no ideas for a season 2 given they put in a post credits stinger that clearly hints at more. I think this show works perfectly as a one off so I'm fine with it ending here but why say you have no ideas for a season 2 when you put in a leading stinger for a season 2? Strange, maybe they're waiting to see if it does get renewed first before being more committal. More people should watch this either way though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very seriously has a good chance at being the runaway hit of the year. I've been looking forward to this one since chapter one of the manga. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
