if i had to guess id say the part of scott pilgrim people find offensive is literally just the extent to which the phrase manic pixie dream girl can be used to apply to the love interest im not sure ive ever actually seen anyone say in a semiformal context that the title character cheating on his underage asian schoolgirl ninja girlfriend is pretty wtf

Everyone in the comic gives Scott poo poo for having an underage asian schoolgirl girlfriend and says its hosed up, and one of the turning points of the comic is when Scott realizes he's a piece of poo poo for having an underage asian schoolgirl girlfriend and it was hosed up. A huge theme of the comic is that Scott is actually kind of a thoughtless garbage person who has hurt everyone around him and he has to come to grips with that and make amends. The movie tries to do something with that with Scott apologizing to everyone at the end getting the 'self respect' sword which is better than the 'true love' sword, but its not done very well and Cera didn't have the range for it anyways.

This is not to say the comic isnt dumb in other ways, just not that one specific way

did the plot really require her to be underage though? if she was 18 it'd work just the same right? that's why it weirds me out still it doesn't seem necessary to show he's a lovely guy

Netflix's new streaming series "Obliterated" looks at what might happen if an elite team of special operators had to perform at their absolute best while suffering from the effects of a long night. This new action comedy is where "24" meets "The Hangover." It's even set in Las Vegas.

Ava Winters (Shelley Hennig, "Teen Wolf: The Movie") is a CIA officer who does everything by the book. Chad McKnight (Nick Zano, "DC's Legends of Tomorrow") is a U.S. Navy SEAL who leads a combined force team of special operators in a mission to disarm a nuclear weapon in Las Vegas and end a global threat. Like most people who finish a job well done, they go out to celebrate.

I think the purpose was to use heightening to emphasize how little they have in common. She talks about high school stuff while Scott is supposed to be getting his life together. Its obvious escapism and refusal to grow up. Having another 20 something in the role wouldn't have been the same. And Scott isnt even interested in her physically, the most they do is hold hands. Scott is thoughtless and selfish, not a sex pest, or else it'd be really hard to accept his character arc

my memory of the scott pilgrim comic is that scott is supposed to be a "garbage person" and everyone hates him and the plot is about him overcoming is shortcomings, but the entire comic is from his perspective and the indictments of his character come across more like wallowing and self-hatred than as actual moral judgments. his character arc is basically about treating *himself* better and gaining a more well-rounded perspective of himself, which leads to him treating his friends better. in that sense, the manic pixie dream girl accusation is very fair, because the whole comic is basically about scott's own self-actualization than any of the female characters'. that being said, i read it many many years ago

as for why scott pilgrim would need a warning label now, a 23-year-old dating a high schooler back in 2005 was gross but not cancelable (see also russell brand's 16-year-old girlfriend), but it's far worse nowadays

It's not helped by Pilgrim being a selfish dude who's just using the high schooler, which drives up the "ick factor" quite a bit.

it's that. it's about the contradiction and immaturity

as an example, back in my old college years i lived in a fairly small college town and there were some bars and spots that grody rear end 30-40 something dudes who had nothing going on and stagnant in their lives would come from the big city over to try to hit on 19-22 year olds. It's not so much they wanted to gently caress young pussy or whatever but rather the drive was predominately immaturity and unable to internalize the differences: a lot of them still internally saw themselves as like young 20-somethings even though they were 10-20+ years past that point and have little in common now. i suppose if there's something like an "age dysphoria" that would rack up

you could 100% set scott as like a 34-44 something goon dude and have the same kind of heightened contradictions and immature selfish piece of poo poo goon. i actually think that would have been more interesting than 22 or whatever he was supposed to be

Hillary Clinton won an Emmy award on Thursday, but wasn’t at the ceremony, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The former first lady and secretary of state had already won a Grammy, so she’s an Oscar and a Tony shy of an EGOT of sorts. Not bad for a political giant who also served as a senator and the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee.

Clinton and daughter Chelsea Clinton were part of a team that captured the Emmy for Outstanding Politics and Government Documentary announced at the News & Documentary Emmy Awards in New York City.

The two executive-produced the Netflix documentary “In Her Hands” with several others, making them “statue-eligible,” an official told The Hollywood Reporter.

The film follows Zarifa Ghafari, who at age 26 became the youngest female mayor in the history of Afghanistan. She served in the turbulent times before the Taliban recaptured the country.

“As Western forces withdraw, Afghanistan’s youngest female mayor braves mortal danger to lead a fight for education for the next generation of Afghans,” the Netflix summary reads.

The film, directed by Tamana Ayazi and Marcel Mettelsiefen was released last fall and received mixed reviews.

“So proud to be part of the ‘In Her Hands’ team,” Chelsea Clinton tweeted Friday.

Hillary Clinton hadn’t mentioned the Emmy victory on X or Instagram as of Friday afternoon, hours after the death of former Senate colleague Dianne Feinstein was announced.

She won her Grammy for Best Spoken Word or Non-Musical Album of “It Takes A Village” in 1997.

from the trailer I thought it was gonna be vaguely anti-US and pro-robot

but also one of the executive producers is Arnon Milchan, a literal intelligence operative who helped supply the Israeli nuclear program
