Does the new Scott Pilgrim anime have vegan references? (For anyone that watched it)
Does the new Scott Pilgrim anime have vegan references? (For anyone that watched it)
Probably the only reason I would watch the series is to see something about veganism (it's pretty long otherwise). If anyone knows that might save me watching it. Thanks
For info, the anime, based on a popular movie, has a returning character named Todd Ingram who is vegan and has "vegan powers" that he loses if he eats animal products, or at least that was the case in the movie. And it spawned a bunch of vegan memes that non-vegans always quote to me.
Yes, it's even integral to the main arc
Does it have any one-liners likely to be referenced by people? Like the ones from the movie
If that's your only reason for watching a movie...
This anime doesn't particularly interest me otherwise (it's multiple episodes), I already saw the movie and it was just ok. The "vegan powers", "vegan police" stuff is something I never hear the end of from other people, though. "You get 3 strikes before the vegan police catch you!" "Vegan police!" "No vegan diet, no vegan powers." "Chicken parm isn't vegan?! Gelato isn't vegan?! It's milk and eggs b-" "Being vegan makes you better than most people" yada yada. That movie (Scott Pilgrim vs the World) is honestly where a lot of people get their first exposure to veganism from, and something they gravitate to whenever the subject comes up. In my experience anyway
The vegan was the villain?
Yeah :/ On the bright side, they're presented as a pretty "cool"/attractive character and it also exposed a lot of people to the idea of veganism in the first place. I liked the fact that a lot of people heard this line said by a vegan character in a mainstream movie: "I partake not in the meat, nor the breast milk, nor the ovum, of any creature with a face." (The 'with a face' part was unnecessary, since there are faceless animals we don't eat/exploit either, but good enough)
Wtf am I looking at right now.
