Of all the reviews of the movie I have seen, this is probably the most intelligently done one.

It’s sad to hear this call the scene the most interesting scene when CN cut the series short

I don't see why they couldn't do an animated series that perfectly adapts the comics, and then afterwards do a completely different take with a new story focused on Ramona with a completely new spin.

Very interesting video

Did anyone else notice how most of the comments he mentioned were by people with Paradot profile pictures

I actually liked the book Andy better and started respecting her when the doorman started respecting her.

…this movie is one of the very best EVER ‼️👊🔥🥂 Miranda is devastating 🪖

Okay but the first joke actually was hilarious though (coming from a gayer over here) Okay, update as I'm going though this: the attack helicopter is funny to me too, but because it's absurd as shit and took a normal idea and likened it to something goofy that you wouldn't expect it to be likened to. They also go into detail about this absurd thought, the contrast of the effort it takes to write a whole paragraph about something as pointless as convincing people you are a flying metal machine being the funny part. I don't think the joke is bad or offensive, but I do believe many people who think bad and offensive opinions tend to laugh at the joke for a... different reason than mine. I also believe that people who are offended by that joke might not be secure enough in their identity to realize that if someone thinks your identity is invalid (even if they are wrong), telling them to stop making a joke isn't going to suddenly change their minds. The 9 million copies of the attack helicopter joke, however, are not funny in the slightest. Get more original transphobes :') Final thoughts: Didn't know offensive jokes made -phobes more likely to hatecrime. That's fucked and enough for me to think the censorship is justified. Of course they'd be monkey-brained enough to hear one "ha ha gay bad" then go kill somebody

A very interesting analysis

Bestie, Betty la Fea its more Older than this movie- and the original Betty la fea, isn't really about fashion.

You are dead wrong if you think people are aware that they know that this is fiction. People are so uneducated that every word that someone says on KZbin is thought to be real. People that read books are equally uninformed thinking just because it's printed it must be true. Dictators and government use peoples gullibility and naivety as their bread and butter. I think, you think you're a smart guy but clearly your comment about people knowing the difference between a TV show and reality is why off. You are too young to even understand the arch of history. All you have to do is look at what has happen because Charles had to have his mistress. And if you would just pick up any book about Churchill you would understand that one man can change history and without him you, would be speaking German. You have no idea about what you're talking about. You are smart so read some history and then you wouldn't think that an event that happened 25 years ago isn't important. The truth of it is UK need another leader like Churchill as your country is on the brink of losing Western Civilization. England was a great as any country could ever be and brought humanity into law and order and look at you now. Lawless, selfish and turning your country over to other Civilizations that hate you and your color, your God, your history. I hope someone wakes up before it's too late but it sure won't be your trader government that lets the people that hate freedom in the back door and puts them in high places nor your weak King. In this modern world everyone thinks all we have to do is say we are sorry enough and bow down to the dictates of the bullies of the world and we will all get along. You even let them fly the flag of terrorist in London and let them light of their religion but the thought of Easter is despised. Chamberland did the same thing. "Pease in our time" What a fool he was and now your country is once again on the edge of loosing everything.

What's to hate? They have good economy for Briton. Millions and millions of people go there to see the British Monarchal pomp and they bring in Billions of Dollars for them. So who cares. They make more and do more than most individuals for the country. For most people that thought of "glad handing" strangers, going to uninteresting places everyday and saying platitudes is a horrible life. Never having a moment of freedom and abandonment would be like a kind of prison. How mush joy can any of them really have. And PS just remember who you are in the world of no bodies.

YOUR MOM 😍👹 8:14

For me Miranda’s smile at the end of the movie.

This analysis expanded my world. It's so well done. Keep doing!

I think that that scene points out that Miranda Is so demanding because is incredible good in her job. I mean, She Is not a bully that makes herself great with other job, She has total control of any detail, She does't get the merit of others ideas, because She forces others - even with disputable methods - to work and make shine her own ideas, her own view. She Is so in charge to oblige others to her standards, which She knows to be the highest possible. She wants things done in her own way because She knows her way Is the best (and objectly It Is). It's a scene to tell the audience that Miranda Is not the Devil simply because She Is evil, for the pleasure to mistreat others, but She Is so nasty because wants her team working as one person, with the same intensity she works and with the vision that She has. I think it's a scene about leadership, which must be demanding and ask for total dedication to the vision, and can't often allow itself to be kind, if there Is a target to archieve...

The finale was amazing and terrifying I miss that feeling of watching it live for the first time

I think the anime, movie, and comic take place in different universes.

Really amazing analysis! Thanks for the subtitles, too!

Everytime when it shows an excerpt narrated by Rebecca Sugar, there are two distinct voices. The one with the deeper voice I know is Rebecca's voice but whose is the other one that has an accent?

I liked Nigel's having a great pen while the others were using Bics.

I STILL DONT GET IT. DID THE HUMAN AROUND THE GEM JUST BECOME WHAT WAS OF PINK DIAMOND? SOMEONE EXPLAIN.

16:29 THAT CONFIRMS IT

Even theuncle grandpa crossover isn't really filler, bc even tho it never happened, steven still learns to control his shield from it.

I quite looked literally made a essay on this topic for school and the fact I found this video set after the fact is Incredibly vindictive To answer your question , you are not alone in your interpretation

I miss how happy I was when this show was on.

Icing on the cake ✔️ media , bugger off , you are not my brain the actual cake …. substance …. 👋🏻…. love you usa from 🇨🇦

This movie nailed reality in this fucked up media world of delivery of the truth , real art and thought ! You have a brain , you have gifts America You need someone to tell you that ?

This video really made me rethink my opinion of the show. I was a superman the day I first saw opal but with the final season I felt that things were rushed and it left me very disappointed. But seeing how things were built upon and made me rewatch the series and fall back in love with the show. So thank you for that truly

White's design is beautiful and exactly what we need to return to. I'm tired of ugly modern art and design because we want to call true beauty offensive.

We had teachers like that at school.

Andy was very brave to leave. Few people could. And the dweeby boyfriend wasnt much.use. Or were the friends very supportive. They were hapoy to get tbe free stuff but they werent very supportive.

This.... This is a fantastic video essay

Man I don't watch movies to learn something I would rather be entertained first... cause that's what I paid for.

26 minutes?? I Lost interest after 5 minutes. Bye, Felicia

What's wrong with the voice acting? I managed to watch it just fine?

I think Andrew might have been Andre leon Tally’s story.

This is so similar to parent-child dynamic in real life too! I mean, it just hit me home with how birthing another being is the 'most selfless, yet the most selfish' act to do to that being - because nobody asked to be born. We may have billions of people, but it's so scary if you think of how not a single of them asked to be born. And the series is quite clear on how although the parents 'made' the child, the child is ultimately not a copy nor a property of their parent - s/he is as an individual a beings as his/her parents are, and we can't and shouldn't ask them to think and be like us, or what we think they should be ... I mean, we have way too many people who have kids without thinking, because everybody else does, or to fulfill THEIR own dreams through their kids, etc. etc. ... And a lot of the dynamics mentioned above often end up becoming quite toxic for each other, too, causing inter-genrational trauma...

Cannot tolerate the era muzak

It's utterly fascinating to me that Sugar and their crew used The Story of Menstruation as a major influence on how to convey Homeworld and White Diamond's overbearing attitude. The idea that animation can be used to convey helpful messages while laced with some seriously messed up standards on how to look and behave are certainly things that are all against the spirit of the show's messages of joyful acceptance and love. And the sheer gall of pointing out how a huge company like Disney did (and still does!) this form of clumsy social broadcast, I really love the way they brought out the art and storytelling to spin this narrative into something far more accepting and joyful. I highly recommend people watch this Disney "educational" short, it's available on youtube for free (and don't read the comments, they're absurdly queerphobic). It's fascinating how something can have some seriously good information that can be helpful, all the while seeing it shrouded with this presence of conformity and ignoring your feelings. It makes me wonder if there was a push away from that history with recent works like Turning Red or that Baymax short a couple years ago. It's sad but this sort of history makes me wonder all the time what sort of ill-meaning messages might also be sprinkled in shows that are well-meaning at a glance. Stuff like edutainment animated shorts certainly have a messy history in regards to that.

Bro, you helped explain a big reason why I loved the ending to this show...I had no idea what was going to happen, and I could have easily imagined them bringing Rose back...they had the setup, but they didn't, and I have a lot of respect for that.

The internet gaslit me into thinking the show was extremely bad "Just because the protagonist is a crybaby" when it helped me trough my mom's death. This video has helped me a lot more than I can explain. Thank you.

Randomly coming across this video and discovering this channel has made my day!

Fascinating analysis. Bravo!

I’m glad I saw this. For the longest time I’ve heard people say this show is flawed, bad or even garbage and being told that I had this lingering feeling that it can’t be because there are people who loved and still love this show, surely for that to be the case it had to be doing something right, right?

I agree. I’m not saying I didn’t enjoy the show-I did- but it just wasn’t what I thought it was gonna be. Me and my brother were excited for Scott Pilgrim the anime and then… Scott Pilgrim was barely there lol. I enjoyed the “What If-- Scott ‘died’” but I wish we would’ve been promised something more than Ramona trying to find Scott. Maybe how things were going for Scott in the 4-5 episodes we had without him😭

I feel like the disconnect between the show and what you wanted it is that show just didn't take itself seriously, it had such a major focus on anime-style comedy and so with that comes all of this simplification of the characters. That also ties a lot into what the last video had to say about adaptations, because that increased comedic focus is due to the fact that this isn't just translating Scott Pilgrim to animation, its to a specifically Japanese anime, and so comes a lot of the expected tropes of one. Another reason for that disconnect is that I feel the anime is at times almost scared of retreading ideas from the comic and movie. That's why a lot of the important plot beats with Gideon, most of the other exes, and Stephen are just ignored, because those ideas were already shown in the comic and movie, and since the writers are trying (perhaps TOO hard) to not be another adaptation, those things important to those characters are avoided. They were just interested in showcasing NEW stuff, and so any old arc that wasn't important to that new stuff was left by the wayside. Also, in a part of this video you discuss the evolution of O'Malley's work, and you showed the pattern of the complex emotions that come with certain ages, Lost at Sea for teens, Scott Pilgrim for 20 somethings, Seconds for 30s. That led me to think that Scott Pilgrim Takes Off would then be about emotions from your 40s. Of course, as you pointed out, the time travel stuff Old Scott does retreads Seconds, but it could be argued that a lot of someone's 40s retreads their 40s. Going from Takes Off, what's added would be this bitterness to the recollection of the past, vs Seconds much more melancholy tone. I feel like there's a lot more that could be done with that idea but this is just a youtube comment and I don't have time to reread/watch all these comics involved rn so I'll leave it at that

A pitfall of a lot of shows coming out now is NOT having filler. If its all plot all the time and I'm just watching them react, I have no idea who they are outside of it, thus I dont know what I'm rooting for.

is that rihona doimg the Rebecca Sugar lines??? i LOVE their podfics- you didnt credit the va
