Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is AMAZING!

[@thatrandomrobot]

The fact that this was secretly a sequel/B side to the Scott Pilgrim story took me entirely by surprise and I LOVE it. Would I have liked a series adapting the comic? Yeah… but also, I always wanted to be able to explore the characters from a non-Scott perspective, and in that regard this show delivered in heaps. Other than Envy and Knives, they all get a lot of fun stuff to do

[@CrowTRobot]

I LOVE it but it’s also a double-edged sword because it should not be watched by someone who hasn’t read the comic or AT LEAST seen the movie.

[@thatrandomrobot]

@@CrowTRobot I am now acutely aware of that. My sibling, who I had told like 2 months ago “sure, you can watch the show without watching the movie! It seems to be adapting more comic book stuff” just sent me the most confused message I have ever read… so yes, you are correct. One of the main things there was “don’t get me wrong, I liked it… but I feel like I must’ve missed something”. I had to send them a very apologetic message and they’re now watching the movie

[@lightningjadejavier]

I'm really glad i thought that it was a sequel of Scott pilgrim, also when i first saw that this was getting famous i decided to myself that I'd watch all movies of Scott pilgrim, which there was only one so that worked out for me, cause even though i knew NOTHING from scott pilgrim i kinda just wanted to be more apart of the world and that worked great

[@EternalDensity]

some people are saying "they betrayed the fans!" and I'm like "whatever"

[@bhavanijayant526]

The only thing that never changed is that Wallace still looks amazing

[@ringer1324]

I’ve seen many people disappointed that it wasn’t just a straight adaptation of the comic and movie but I actually preferred what they did. I didn’t really want another version of the same story I’ve known for years. I’m happy we got something new and different. I love these characters and I’m just happy to get a new story with them

[@charlesbaldwin3166]

I expected and wanted comics adaptation, but this was so much better.

[@LuznoLindo]

I agree. I was actually surprised to see that Patel successfully killed Scott. That, and Scott actually _stayed_ dead for a long while.

[@techgeekyness]

I was actually getting bored watching it at first and was thinking about just watching the movie, then the ending of episode 1 happened and I was like "I need more!"

[@reneflores5976]

is really interesting seeing the reaction of someone who knows the story and someone who doesn't

[@XC11301991]

I binged it last night. Loved it, it incorporates all its media of the comic, game, and film. I see it as a NG+ sequel to get the pefect ending run. Sure it doesn't go through an indepth development for Scott that the last 3 volumes did in making him realize how much of a womanizing PoS he is, but it was still fun. It was nice to get Ramona and her Exes some more development.

[@lordgeneralmilitantdeezy7550]

He still comes around to learning his lesson just in a different way which was interesting to see

[@XC11301991]

@lordgeneralmilitantdeezy7550 Yea, seeing a reflection of what he becomes is another way of development. Though I will say it's not as powerful as him confronting nega-Scott and realizing that his dark version isn't the problem.

[@FED0RA]

but some characters like lisa and envy get kinda forgotten (lisa only gets one cameo, and thats it) also scott pilgrim beating simon lee is different, in the animated series, the way scott remembers it is the one they use instead of it being just scott beating up kim's boyfriend

[@Neclony]

It looks sooo much like the anime Panty and Stocking with Gaterbelt. The style was a over the top japanese take on western comics, cartoons and culture. It works perfectly.

[@Milk-ck1wv]

ooohhh is that why garterbelt looks like a black stereotype

[@thesleepyfable3902]

You can tell the animation studio watched everything from Trigger and just rolled with it! Envy's introduction felt like something Satsuki would have done in Kill la Kill.

[@libbylambert7823]

They didn’t have to take notes from Trigger, Science Saru has been an acclaimed anime studio for a decade, most of Masaaki Yuasa’s anime’s were produced there and they’ve done a ton of partner work with US animation studios.

[@bakacdaz]

Science Saru is even more Animation Freak than Trigger to beginning with.

[@HillSketch]

Yoo the editing so perfect!! So much good memes, keep going with the good work guys, it's amazing!

[@boastaboutgames2747]

This came as such a surprise but a welcome one. We already know the story. We've known it for years. This became a secret pseudo-sequel that I never dreamed would happen 💙 (which I guess means you definitely need to watch the movie first 😂)

[@sortastupid]

Idk it’s a weird one. I feel like it stands well on its own but it very much is amplified by knowing the original

[@SamRegan610]

I've never read the comics and I only just watched the movie like two weeks ago, and I LOVED THIS. I had zero expectations going in and zero nostalgic attachment to anything, so I was on the edge of my seat pretty much the whole time. And fellas, the editing was so strong on this one, especially cause it literally dropped yesterday. Can't wait to see what you guys think of the rest!

[@qdkdicja10]

Same here! Exactly!

[@M.W.K6996]

I'm not gonna lie...I really enjoyed this animated series. And I was more than happy that they got the original cast to reprise their roles. The art style was very similar, if not completely similar, to the comics as well, which also really worked in its favor. And despite it being an alternate version to the graphic comics, and the movie...it was still very entertaining. I was glad to see more of the other characters and how much more demph they got, and make the league into something much more than pitiful exes who were trying to win back the heart of the girl who always ran away from making true connections. Almost everything worked for this project. It was good to see the complexity of the characters, and how they wanted to learn from their mistakes, and refused to let the past define them - especially Ramona, seeing how she realized and accepted that she made mistakes and how she was part of the problem; and allowed herself to become better. But I am disappointed that we got to see a lot less of Scott Pilgrim...despite him being the supposed main character. And some changes I didn't really care for...like Todd Ingram suddenly having an obsession with Wallace Wells, despite the latter not being into him - it just didn't really fit into the story (in my opinion). Also, Wallace found someone else in the last episode. I would have maybe had Todd and Envy Adams seem like there was a chance for them to get back together, and maybe try to become better people. Also, the battle between Old Scott Pilgrim and the others...I would have liked to see it last just a little longer. Plus, I will admit that the chemistry between Scott and Ramona could have been focused on a little more, 'cause they fell in love a bit too quickly. So it would have helped if the first and last episode of the season were closer to thirty minutes. And maybe the series could have been just a bit more "mature". However, I will say that the voice acting...did come off as weak at times. That being said, I am very hopeful for a second season to be in the works.

[@rpgrage7711]

YO Scott pilgrim I love this

[@samrose8275]

I knew very little from the comic, played the game watched the movie. Didn’t know it was a different approach cuz I assumed it was going to be based off the comic but now I have an excuse to read it lol. It was an overall a great watch! Visually stunning, loved the music and just a wave of nostalgia from the original cast. The art style is amazing.

[@qdkdicja10]

Yeah watching this series actually made me want to read the comic, too! Really liked this one.

[@dannybob42]

definitely a big rug pull, at the end of the series I enjoyed it but I must admit I struggled to shake off the whiplash of realising that this is not gonna be a proper adaptation of the books as I had both hoped and been sold on by the trailers

[@nicolasgarant9124]

To be fair, Bryan Lee O'Malley did say in interviews that this was not going to be a 1:1 adaptation. So that helped me come to terms to realize their whole idea was to make the rug pull that much more effective. Plus after the movie, he was pretty done with the property, so it makes sense he'd only come back to it if he gets to do something new with it.

[@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth]

We've seen the previous story told 3 times in 3 separate mediums. I didn't see this coming either, but I'm really happy with it. It was a huge gamble because if the writing/animation wasn't up to snuff it'd get slammed by fans, but the gamble 100% paid off. Think of it this way: instead of a reboot, you got a sequel!

[@rylewolf2671]

oooh I binged this the day it came out and was hoping you guys would watch it! oh man I hope we get more from this and ya'll

[@MillyThe_Rat]

As someone who didnt even knew the existence of Scott Pilgrim before this series (is not very popular in my country), i LOVED the series, i am to read the comics but might fell a bit of mess lol

[@SirLightsOut99]

I love this show and the movie so much. Will say I hope the random meme inserts don’t get too intrusive. Part of the reason I’ve watched this channel for so long is because it’s just straightforward reactions without any flare or anything like that.

[@ashhabimran239]

@@bronze5548 I suppose you're the type who gets triggered over people enjoying whatever they want 🤡

[@kusasithebe4866]

As someone who watched the anime before the movie, i am super confused on whats happening in the show

[@XC11301991]

It's technically a sequel so it def would be very confusing if you've never read the comics or watched the movie. Hell the game is referenced too.

[@keitwomimir]

same!! but i'm enjoying it lol

[@Fatalbeast22]

Im already hoping this gets a second season

[@techgeekyness]

Friendly reminder that Roxy Richter and Katara from Avatar are the same VA.

[@mangafurie7698]

Just finished Scott Pilgrim Takes Off and my heart is so full. They finally delivered the ultimate, animated Scott Pilgrim experience. That being said it is 100% a sequel. I’d argue to read the comics instead of The movie it isn’t the worst, but the comics are a better story overall. and not gonna lie I was hoping to watching an actual adaption since the 2010 movie missed so much from the comics

[@DragSmash-Games]

Probably a good idea to watch the live action movie before watching this lol.

[@nothlitkaisyl5734]

Really loving the new editing style guys!!

Your Guys' Reaction Was My Reaction Cause I Knew Nothing Else About Scott Pilgrim, I Seen The Movie Title 13 Years Ago And Figured It Flopped Or The Graphic Novels.

[@The_RedJoker]

The first book came out in 2004 guys

[@EditDeath]

Love the fakeout in the title. You expect Takes Off to just be hype, but instead it means he dipped from the plot!

[@TheDunnDusted]

Seeing this performance and knowing he's free from Marvel, I would pay top dollar to Netflix to cast Chris Evans as The Boulder in the live action ATLA.

New editing? Is this for all videos now?

Did you guys get a new editor? :0 the editing on this vid feels super dofferent

[@marksmania42]

It's funny and incredible how in the trailers, they made us think that the story is gonna be the same but once the episodes came out, turns out this is a Reboot which took all of us by SURPRISE! How are they going to change the whole thing? It intrigues me.

[@reakefit7304]

I had to make time to watch the show cause your titles were spoilijg me along with like half the internet 😅

[@CrowTRobot]

Do NOT watch this without having at LEAST seen the movie. Please.

[@jadziawynter9241]

This is cool but u guys should watch the movie first. It'll make the show way more impactful and enjoyable

i feel like... you need to watch the movie before this. No spoilers but you will be very confused if you have no prior knowledge.

Nah not really. We’ve finished it and although it’s definitely amplified by seeing the original it works well as a standalone

[@Ockto_]

@@sortastupid ok cool. I was just worried cuz when I watched it. I found it very fun BECAUSE it used the original story as a stepping stone to make something brand new.

This is the same story that I’ve already watched… Except they made it an advertisement for old Netflix taking 3 days to get you a DVD, and took all the flair out of the dialogue and the editing. The movie was so much better. This is garbage.

[@Mr.Yahoo_]

The fuck is this editing lol, I love you guys but I'd rather see your reaction with no footage than just a buch of clips with sudden cuts to your faces

[@kihfbvgsdvg]

this editing is very intrusive and distracting from the actual reaction- hope it doesnt stick around!

[@gary329c]

I'm sorry but I don't give them any credit for subverting my expectations in removing the main character from the show I watched enough to know I'm unsatisfied like most fans probably will be when they realize the show isn't about the main character anymore

[@sortastupid]

If you watched it you’d realize you’re wrong about this and that the show is very much still about Scott

[@Therealones745]

You guys should so watch tmnt (2003).
