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'm not saying the message of the movie was great but I don't really think it had that much impact on the world. People thought it was a fun mid-budget movie. At the time it came out we had a sorta similar thing to what we have going on now with Marvel movies dominating everything, it was just grim gritty action movies. Scott Pilgrim was colorful and not afraid to have cheeky inside humor. People liked it, but it was forgotten fast, the Fast and Furious movies probably had more overall impact on the cultural zeitgeist.

The FF movies are weird because I know on some level everyone watches them (they make money? they keep getting made) but I also feel like you have to be grown in a vat to enjoy them

They seem like the kind of movie to have in the background while doing chores. "Oh look, pretty car go vrooooom"

I watched the first three FF movies in a drive in when I was a kid because they’d show a Disney or Pixar movie and then the late show would usually be an action movie. I was supposed to be sleeping.
