It’s wild that they got the entire cast back, and yet they seem to be telling the same basic story again? Or maybe that part of the trailer is from a sort of recap in the first episode and the story movies on from there? Otherwise it’s like a remake with the same cast, and that’s pretty wild, but cool.
i did never understand why the liveaction movie was so hyped. it was kinda sexist af ngl
Scott Pilgrim is an immature, self-centered little dork with the biggest case of literal main character syndrome. He’s a dick to everyone, and that includes being sexist. That’s the character, not the movie.
I understand your confusion though, because the entire narrative is built around Scott’s delusions. All of his insecurities and foolish notions are played out as if they are reality, because for the intent of this story as an internal reflection of Scott’s psyche, they are.
The comic is about the journey of discovery in which Scott and the reader slowly find out that Scott is a shitty guy to everyone. The movie tried to condense that into a fun, short action movie, losing the message in the way.
