Some thoughts on SPTO

Some thoughts on "Scott Pilgrim Takes Off", inevitably I must share them

-I was expecting an animated adaptation true to the OG comics (I have never read them, only seen panels online) but I was not entirely surprised by what they ended up doing. Figures they would want to make something new out with a new media form rather than adapt an already-existing story (the comic)

Was not super upset by it. Just kind of, "Oh. Okay." Still was going to watch and enjoy that we got something at all.

-I DO feel like there was something missing. I can't put my finger on it exactly but something was off. On god I cannot figure it out in my own head-- I don't know if it was too quiet sometimes and needed bg music or needed louder and more frequent sound effects, but SOMETHING in the sound department was off.

-The style and animation was beautiful which is why the above^ is such a bummer because it ended up making a lot of the impact moments, not impactful?

-Gideon and Julie ended up being the highlight for me that I didn't even know I needed (Evil love is such a rare treat) I wish we had seen more of them!

-Yes, I wish we could get a Season 2 but know that's not gonna happen, which SUCKS. I don't even care how they do it- if they want to cook up a whole new plot or even just do it self-contained episodic story style. I wanted more, more episodes! I hate Netflix's 8 episode standard.

-There were a handful of lines that actually made me chortle out loud so I've got to hand it to them: "Is he mad?", "I couldn't even get a reservation at McDonald's. They laughed at me when I called." To name a few. I love that dry, Scott Pilgrim-standard level of dumb humor.

-Seeing the bits of Ramona with some of the exes (like Lucas and Roxie) in the past was sweet and I wish we had seen more of that.

-I actually didn't like Todd's arc. Felt hollow, wanted to see more vegan powers in the action, or backstory w/ Ramona

-The music was FANTASTIC. Such a bop. Anamanaguchi does not disappoint

-Assorted random comments: the random Lucas Lee and Gideon friendship was fun, lyrical song choices were great. We got to see much more of the side characters than ever before and I loved that a lot.

-Do I feel like I was baited? A little, but I'm not upset. I think the criticism is blow out of proportion.

Overall good, but yes I think it could have been better. I think something was holding it back from being GREAT. Would like a season 2.

looking for something to watch? then watch jentry chau vs the underworld on netflix!

the series is about a 16 year old Chinese-American girl who lives in Seoul happily until she has to go back to her hometown where she once lived as a child , a small town in Texas because she is being hunted by demons. Now jentry has to has to balance highschool life , relationships , friendships while trying to stop the demon’s that’s coming after her. (she also has cool fire powers!)

it’s really good and it’s refreshing to finally have a show with a new concept instead of reboots and rehashed concepts

and if your worrying about the show being canceled (i pray netflix won’t do it) the show wraps up nicely (even though there are a few things that end up unexplained it’s still a good ending with no cliffhangers) please watch it!

Ok but we were ROBBED from Wallace and Scott amazing friendship, Wallace it's such a close funny friend and in the show he's just indifferent to everything.

Fanfic recs for people who also belong to a small niche, fandom and want some more stories:

For Scott Pilgrim, check out this little collection of Julie/Gideon stories if you like them both.

Takes Off really brought me back to my old love of Scott Pilgrim. Got the game cheap too, need to give it a play sometime.
