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?

As much of Scott's character arc the movie had to skip over, they pretty much gutted Ramona's entire arc in service of keeping the runtime manageable. A large part of the point of the comics is that they're both terrible people with a trail of ruined lives behind them and they both have to become better for themselves, each other, and everyone else.
