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 watched the first few episodes of the reboot. Good animations. Didn't care for the story and stopped watching after the 2nd episode. As for the movie, I fell asleep about an hour and forgot about it until now.

I don't know about that but it definitely started a lot of people (me included) on the incel arc, worst years of my life.

I watched because he had a rick. I did not like the bass riffs. Also, Metric has a song in the movie. And Toronto was there. Don't remember much else.

Metric's song is the best part of the whole movie

I still love that song, it's one of my best driving jams

I think the worst thing was that the Cal Arts animation style clearly took some influence from Bryan Lee O'Malley's art style.

At least in the UK, I don't think anyone has ever talked to me about the film in real life. I don't think it was very popular over here.

My Scott Pilgrim memory:

Saw it in the theater. Thought it sucked out loud. Never thought about it again until the last few days.
