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 people were charmed by it for a while because it had a lot of video game jokes that were really natural and unforced, which is something I don't think any other movie before or since has managed to pull off.

But I also remember people stopped talking about it pretty quick. I was in college in California at the time so that's my reference point.

Same and same.
