Scott Pilgrim

Has Scott Pilgrim become dated?

Does it still represent and/or resonate with the youth as much as it did on release?

What about the movie?

I'm not incredibly young, but I can say as an under-20 that it resonated pretty strongly with me when I read it a year or so ago.

Of course, there's some stuff that's become kind of dated, but most of it contributes to the overall aesthetic so it helps rather than hurts. I think most of it is pretty timeless.

The human condition never changes, it's still a good read

It'll probably always strike a chord with people who are like Scott/knew someone like him

I wasn't one of those people though, so I didn't get it. That movie was kinda cool, though.

Too much white people

I read it two years ago at 16, and it was fine. Like said, the few dated bits fit the story's retro video game atmosphere, so it actually added to the experience.

Would anyone here actually look forward to a sequel of of Scott Pilgrim?

Haven't read it myself, but at the comics club that was set up during my last year at High School quite a few of the ~14 year old kids liked it, and that was only a couple of years ago now, so i'd say its still 'in' with a certain crowd.

No, it ended as it should have and a second story would fuck that up.
But a spin off or spiritual sequel wouldn't be horrible. Adventures of Young Neil? Wacky World of Wallace Wells?

A sequel would fuck things up. It had a good ending and there's no reason to fuck with that.

Its more relevant. Its like a movie about hippies coming out in the early 60's. They weren't absolutely everywhere until a decade later.

Places like Ontario were where the early hipsters actually emerged, and Scott Pilgrim came out before they were everywhere. I remember in fact here on Sup Forums how hipster and mainstream were both filthy words for some irritating Other, like how Sup Forums and SJW are now.

You also now have the golden window where the preceding 20-somethings were the first hipsters, and as a result we are in the timeframe between them being reviled by the older generation of 30-somethings and them being out of fashion and irrelevant.

No, but a cartoon series or sequel vidya mite b fine.

>17 years old

Friendly reminder that Scott Pilgrim was a Pedophile

They didn't fuck though. She basically just followed him around and he didn't do anything about it because he had shrugged off doing shit about shit in life.

Nah, pic related justifies it.

What the hell is up with this Tim Horton's? I've never seen one with counter seating like this.

Wishful thinking?

A spin off with Knives quest to find true love would be nice.

>scott
>completely straight
>shares a bed with Wallace and the way they met was "extremely gay"

>Has Scott Pilgrim become dated?
I'd say so. Young people now don't care about 16-bit games like a generation ago did, since they didn't play them. There's not nearly enough internet drama being brought up in the comic, either.

>Does it still represent and/or resonate with the youth as much as it did on release?
I'd say it doesn't represent them enough. The current stereotype of young people makes the cast of Scott Pilgrim look like rich Hollywood stars.

Read it about 3 years ago, when I was 18.
Lost at sea was more on spot then, but then I screwed up a relationship just like Scott.

>Young people now don't care about 16-bit games like a generation ago did, since they didn't play them.

Naw dude. Now they'll just go "whoa this is like in that game on my snes classic!" or "these graphics are just like undertale/shovel knight/la mulana/etc!"

I'm genuinely curious and this question is not at all bait.

What about Scott Pilgrim is so relatable?

That people are varying degrees of shitty and more often than not people in or previously in relationships tend to not realize that they have faults too that cause the relationship to fall apart.

Does that mean Nega Scott as a straight as a pretzel?

I'm in the middle of reading the colored prints.
Enjoying it so far.

I'm 18, and I loved it as do most of my friends, how young are you looking for?

Every time I watch that CN short I wonder why they just didn't make a whole series out of it.

>I'm not incredibly young, but I can say as an under-20

Hipsters are still garbage but you get so used to them they become a quiet irritation. Mainstream became normalfag.

>living with a gay roomate
Im gonna call bullshit on that, especially on drunk nights.

It resounds and represents a portion of the youth. The same portion it did when the author was drawing and writing it.

Personally I never got it. There's no way to say this without sounding like an ass but it was millennial as shit. Down to him being a lazy ass.

>That people are varying degrees of shitty
Pretty much this. You can make your story about the 17th century or the 31st, shitty people will always be around and make your stories relatable.

>Has Scott Pilgrim become dated?
Yes, but it doesnt change that the characters are relatable. Tim Hortons, Pizza Pizza are still around, Honest Ed is gone forever, there is a dramatic lack of cellphones and social media, and so on. What Im saying is, archetypes are perennial, pic related.

archetypes trascend time and the SP series is pretty much blatantly about that.

>. There's no way to say this without sounding like an ass but it was millennial as shit. Down to him being a lazy ass.

I think this is what makes it interesting.

Basically Scott embodies the hero myth as it manifests itself in the very millennial canadian gestalt that is being defined in the book

So the archetype gets mangled almost beyond recognition and EVEN THEN it manages to save the virgin.

> Movie = Great
> Comics = Never interesed.
> Game = No.

>I'm not incredibly young, but I can say as an under-20

Yes people will always be shitty and blame others for their own faults in relationships.

Who would you want to see casted in a hypothetical Scott Pilgrim series?

>casted

black 19 year old here. I read the books since I was 12 because if the movie. I even read seconds. I can say this without a doubt, every female in this goddamn series is strangely fappable because of the artstyle
>anime gave me a fetish for big eyed animated women
>tfw the entire series is full of them
wish there was more tentacle porn of them, more porn of the series in general

Horny rants aside, I liked the series. It introduced me to the complexities of relationships and how it can affect you, why you shouldn't run away from problems, and the power of love. Had some funny moments too

I have to say that it represents and resonates with the youth, but only certain types.

I knew people who were basically these characters in high school, but since I've gone wageslave in a place where no work ethic gets you fired, people like those in the comic kind of got culled from my life.

And it's not even that they're normies. A friend of mine works out to weeb camgirl videos and started dieting specifically because of it.

I'd say it was dated past the 80's but who cares

It's got catcher in the rye syndrome where anyone that relates to holden or scott completely missed the point that they're giant whiny losers, and that if you relate to scott you need to stop reading and either fix your life or kill yourself

Some of the pop culture and hipster trends might be a little dated but stupid teenagers being selfish jerks and having terrible understanding of romance is a universal message that no matter what year, hell no matter what century, will always become relevant.

That's not an exaggeration, just look at Romeo and Juliet.

>kids who were 12 when the Scott Pilgrim movie came out are now 19

I still think the movie could've succeeded if they had literally any other actor than Michael Cera to play him. At the time people were getting sick of him and all of his projects were being lumped in "hipster trash". That labeling really didn't help.
