I barely remember 2010, but I remember Scott Pilgrim being to hipsters like Fight Club and American Psycho are to incels; They totally missed the point of the movie, thought it was aspirational, and the results in dive bars and shitty venues across America (maybe just the midwest?) were disastrous.

Was this real? Did I mandela effect it from the negative zone or something? Am I just getting old?

I think it got more recognition later for being an Edgar Wright movie than it did immediately on release, and it does have some decent sight gags. I saw it around when it came out because I had read the comics but I don't know that I heard people talking about it much until years later when it was mostly people bemoaning how others had missed the point
