6/10
The Netflixification of Scott Pilgrim.
17 November 2023
Warning: Spoilers
It's not bad per se, but it left me disappointed because I had huge expectations due to its name. It has some good moments and a decent story, but it doesn't meet the standards set by Scott Pilgrim Vs The World which is an all-time favourite of mine. And its titular character remaining absent for most of the time did not do the show any favour.

This animé styled show takes an entirely different approach to the movie (and comics) as it tells a completely new story. But the problem is it was not promoted as such. As a result, fans of the movie/comics who watch this with high expectations will feel disappointed.

It lacks the energy and dynamism of the movie and Edgar Wright's trademark humour. It feels like Netflix really hired Edgar Wrong to create this.
