I normally don't do this, especially these days when i'm so swamped with work thanks to my move and back pains putting me way behind.
But... given I did a whole 6 part retrospective on this series, love it dearly and have covered pretty much every scrap of scott pilgrim media except the game (which I now feel confident enough in reviewing games to fix, wink wink), I couldn't.. not comment on this. So let's jump in.
Firstly the trailer diseplled my fears from the cast announcment that they were just adapting the film: the art style from the comics is lovingly presented while at the same time adding some nice wrinkles: there's apparently a segement of the kim and scott fight that takes place on vhs, it has a ncie little grainy quality and I notice the animation is slightly intentionally a touch stitled in spots while being every bit as fast pased and manic as it needs during fights,m amost like a comic in motion which I really appreciate. The animation is drop dead gorgeous and every bit as glorious as O'Malley's style in motion should be while still doing it's own things. Shots I really liked are gideon's screen thing, the split screen with the band all sweaty, and the vhs stuff.
And that's really the vibe I get: going a bit closer to the comics but also adding shit. I love the oni half mask Roxy has in one shot, and a lot of the trailer seems to be showing off that we'll be geting some unique scenes neither the movie nor the comics had. I love Gideon's creepy layer with all those tv screens, Roxy and Wallace having a proper confrontation (and a hilarious one), more scenes with Ramona by herself, and what looks to be an absolutely BONKERS take on the roxy fight. It's one of the main reasons I wanted a full series adaptation: while I love the movie a combination of edgar only having access to volumes 1 and 3 primarily and having to slim the narrative down into two hours meant a lot of stuff got cut out out of necsity or, contrary to popular belief, him not being a psychic wizard from an outer dimension. it's an inner dimension. Diffrent thing. Diffrent power set.
So yeah this looks like everything I could've possibly hoped for and I look forward to seeing it this november.. and covering it. See the reason I don't cover a ton of streaming series when they come out, much as i'd love to, is that I'm not psychic. I can't predict when a service will deem to release their show unless they tell me and most wait till the very last second, long after i've filled up my schedule. IN this case though I hadn't gotten to november yet and even if I had now I have a hard date, I can carve out a space for this series. So expect a review of this show in november baby and like you i'm hoping it's gooood.
i think i love a pretty miserable life and im not trying to get any sympathy or anything it’s just a fact at this point. i got 2 friends that never answer my texts, i dont go out at all, i have 0 hobbies or any interest in going back to my old hobbies, i work once or twice a week bc i lack the skills to get an actual job, ive been single for an embarrassing amount of time, i literally have nothing going on in my life. i’m so sad my dog died and i cant help but feel sorry for myself and mourn what i once was and all i had. i hate how my meds make me feel. all i do is listen to music and watch tv and scroll through twitter and tiktok without really paying attention to anything. idk it’s just really sad and miserable and depressing to live like this but i have no motivation to do anything about it cause it feels like i got weights on my feet and i can’t move
