Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

There’s 2 parts
Part 1, no knock against Michael Cera, he’s a talented actor, but he kinda gets perpetually typecast into his role from Juno: awkward nerdy white guy wondering why life is happening to him
Part 2, Scott in the comic is, I can’t emphasize this enough, an asshole. He appears to be a Michael Cera character wondering why life is happening to him- except that he’s actually fully self-aware, and he’s just lying to himself and putting on the dopey act just so that he can get away with all his toxic bullshit. It’s only after he basically confronts himself on his own bullshit that he can move on with his life and relationships
Because the comic wasn’t done by the time the film started production, the movie basically misses out on most of the important parts of the ending and we were left with the cliff notes version.
Yep. The fact that the movie doesn't understand that Scott is the real bad guy (and needs to learn to be good) was it's biggest flaw.
