Scott Pilgrim Memory; The 2010 movie was a disaster that lead to a wave of insufferable giga-hipsters who did not get the point in the worst way. True or false? (hexbear.net)

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?

I remember I was part of a very small cadre of people who went to go see it while there was a line around the block for the latest "Expendables" movie. It was definitely always more of a cult film, but it definitely had a huge impact on the people who were fans of it (especially those who were also in media). It's kinda like the Speed Racer movie in that sense I guess.

As for myself: I saw it in my early 20s when it came out and I definitely got that Scott was not "aspirational"....but I also didn't get just how much of a fucking asshole he was until my 30s so....mixed bag.
