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?
Oh huh, I never thought about it that way. I do feel like I've kinda heard that sort of mocking of him.
Still think he's an awful Scott though!
Yeah I think a lot of what undergirds a lot of the dislike of him is that he's atypically "low T" and skinny for what you would expect of a Hollywood actor, who are all buff hunks or adonis-like twinks or fat comic reliefs. It's similar to the hate people have for fat women that oozes out when they talk about them.
Scott's character is an immature jerk for sure. Some of Michael Cera's characters are sweet and cool though, like George Michael.
Love and support a "low T" and skinny boy
