have finished scott pilgrim takes off!!! i have many thoughts
#random thoughts#scott pilgrim#okay first off: where's stephen stills' boyfriend :[#like i get the main point of stephen and joseph's relationship is to show how self centered scott was#like one of his main friends had a whole gay revelation and got a boyfriend and he didn't even notice because he was caught up in his stuff#and since the show is a diverging timeline and they don't even end up recording the album for sex bobomb there's not really anything for him#to like. do. both plotwise and thematically#but cmon :[[[ i miss joseph he's such a bitch i love him#i still think matthew's characterization is a little questionable but overall i think he's an enjoyable character#the main problem i have with him is he has that chaturbhuja-inspired powerup because he's indian#but 1. him being indian never really influences his character or backstory beyond 'he was the only poc in school so i dated him'#and 2. none of the other characters have powerups related to their race or ethnicity? the closest i can think of is the vegan and veganism#is a CHOICE dude? and the whole 'he used his mystical powers to defeat the jocks' thing still makes it sound like his powers#are BECAUSE he's indian rather than just a part of the worldbuilding like the others#wait hold on back to joseph. wallace had his whole moment in the eighth episode where he met mobile#why didn't stephen and joseph get a moment :[[[#overall i like scott pilgrim takes off but i do think the weakest part narratively is scott himself#like the reason i like the og comic is because you get to see scott act all shitty and selfish and then you see him grow#like he represses and rewrites his own memories because he can't handle being a bad person#but in the show he disappears so fast and continues to haunt the narrative so you don't get to SEE him do anything bad really#yknow beyong cheating on knives with ramona which ramona never confronts him about#like in the comic that's a big moment which leads to her disappearing and their eventual reconciliation#but in the show they never really have any big arguments? beyond ramona doubting whether she should date scott in the eighth episode#their relationship lacks ANY conflict despite being the thing which incites the main conflict of the show!!!#plus they really damper scott's relationships outside of ramona to make it seem like scott and ramona's relationship is this big thing#to make it so ramona's pursuit of this guy she went on ONE date with make sense for plot reasons#like ramona's whole thing is running away why does she want to keep scott so bad??? obligatory sparks#maybe it's because scott's the one who did the disappearing. idk#anyway wallace was done dirty by the show. why'd they make him so mean to scott#in the comic he's scott's main enabler!!! he's the one who suggests many of the bad things which scott does!!!
