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 was in DC at the time and went w hipster friends who hadn't read the comics.

    They found it entertaining but I don't think aspirational was really the reaction? Granted they wanted my take (which was and still is, it got the style of the graphic novel but totally gutted the story's emotional depth), so maybe my instant negative reaction to the second half of the film played a role.
