I've never been able to affordably find the comics, but are there really people who believe that Scott Pilgrim is the hero? Like, you know how I was saying that comedy always has to kind of cruelly make someone the butt of the joke? There's a good case Scott is that butthttps://twitter.com/HardDriveMag/status/1288912408690544640 …

It's absolutely clear in the movie version that he's the butt

To the point where it's kind of harmful to the plot, like the comics version of Scott really did imply he was much more genuinely charming and charismatic than that and that's why all these people put up with him in the first place

In a way Scott being so much more unlikable in the film is a dirty trick to get us to sympathize with him more The whole Michael Cera stock character thing - these people all keep him around to have someone to feel superior to and that's fucked up

It's kind of meta like that, like this movie is seen through the eyes of an abuser doing the performative victim "Everybody hates me" act

(One of the big reveals in the comic is that Scott is so good at fighting because he always has been and he used to be a bully who beat the shit out of a guy who had a crush on Kim for no reason This is impossible to imagine with movie Scott)

Shane Dawson's self-insert character in his awful movie is also named Scott and is like this White guys named Scott are very close to just being ruined

I have been watching takedowns of it after getting sucked into Dawson's cancelation
