Scott Pilgrim Memory; The 2010 movie was a disaster that lead to a wave of insufferable giga-hipsters who did not get the point in the worst way. True or false? (hexbear.net)

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 really think you're remembering a much bigger impact than there actually was.

I think you're right.

I'm an old fart, and movies like this were always made. But it made little impact at the time because Kick-ass ruined this genre right before this movie came out. If anything, this movie feeds off nostalgia by a group of people who missed this movie in theaters because they were too young to drive themselves there.
