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?
You're viewing a single thread.
I think a lot of people missed the point of it, but I don't really know what, if anything in that entire movie could be seen as aspirational. Playing the bass? Cheating on a teenager with a girl with dyed hair? Getting in a sword fight in a club? Like, nothing in that movie is the type of thing I would describe as a goal.
cries in sword lesbian bassist Am i a joke to you?
You'll be a joke until you break up with your fake high school girlfriend.
I already did that in my 20s and i still don't have a Rickenbacker bass.
Damn, but can you at least play the bass line from FF2?
Playing basslines from video games is illegal in my jurisdiction
(not rly, but it should be)
This is my entire TikTok on a good day
I don't every piece of media has to "have a message." Or maybe the message is just "be yourself even if you're a complete dork and you will also get a hot girl to date you"
Right, but the entire premise of OP's post was that hipsters thought the movie was aspirational and that fucked up the vibe in bars for years?
If there's no message and no point, what did these people misinterpret? How would being yourself fuck up the vibe in dive bars?
I've never been a bar person at all so I wouldn't know, but I truly don't even get what OP is talking about, other than complaining about people adopting a "nerd chic" vibe in which case the OP also misinterpreted the film.
Only having Wallace Wells as a friend is aspirational. We should all strive to either be or befriend that kind of person.
Given the movie’s target audience (marketed to 2013’s teenage boys who play video games), the aspirational part is being A Nerd who can win a prize as beautiful and aloof as the movie’s Ramona. I swear, Revenge Of The Nerds and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
