So, there was this one downloadable game for XBox 360 and playstation 3 known as Scott Pilgrim VS The World. And it KICKS ASS!
Scott Pilgrim is a game based off the graphic novel with the same name. The game takes place in Toronto, Canada, which is cold, people beat each other up, and there are hipsters everywhere. I really hope that last one is just a lie. Anyway, it is about Scott Pilgrim, a simple guy, who falls in amor with a girl named Ramona Flowers. However, the only way they can be together is if Scott defeats her seven evil ex-boyfriends, which include a skateboarding actor, a superpowered vegan, two Japanese DJ twins, and more. Silly, but its so awesome.
The game is a simple Beat Em Up, which is a tribute to other past beat em ups like Konami's Double Dragon, Sega's Streets of Rage, and Capcom's Final Fight. It is so satisfying to just beat the shit out of everybody you see in the game, as most beat em ups are. Also, the soundtrack, preformed por the Japanese band Anamanaguchi, is just so catchy as can be. Also, this game allows you to play four player, and if you are a true gamer, you know that co-op in a beat em up is the funnest thing in the world.
So, after the game, there was a movie staring Jesse Eisenberg. Okay, so I'm already interested. It follows the same story as the game and is JUST as epic as the game. I think this game turned Eisenberg into an action movie star. mover out of the way Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, Jesse Eisenberg is coming through.
But, before the movie was released, there was a cartoon promo on Adult Swim, and if you know me, everything on Adult Swim fails as being a comedy or just an no geral, global show..... Except Toonami on Saturdays, that program is amazing. Anyway, this promo was actually a prequel to the movie where Scott meets Kim and falls in amor with her. This is accurate as in the graphic novel, Kim is his ex-girlfriend and the baterista for his band, The Sex-Bombs. Anyway, it is pretty much where this opposing high school takes her and we get a pretty short fight scene, but still manages to be awesome. Also, did I mention the animation in this is amazing. Seriously, I wish this was turned into a actually Adult Swim show. It would make up for all the other crap they show on there.
So, anyway, this shows that America was wrong about Canada in the first place. This graphic novel, game, movie, and animated short are awesome as hell, and I amor all of the things in the Scott Pilgrim universe. So, yeah, Canada isn't really that bad. I mean, were kinda being hypocritical when all we have for games are a bunch of hairless apes shooting other hairless apes, our filmes are all explosions and dick jokes, our desenhos animados are making kids swear and our books are about lobos and vampires........ That last one is not as awesome as it sounds. So, yeah, Canada is awesome... Just really cold. But, hey, that's only my opinion. What's Your Take
