Story x Story #174: Gym Over Therapy (Scott Pilgrim Takes Off)

This week, Nigel and Tazziii are pulled through a vegan portal for a deep dive into the latest adaptation of the cult hit, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off (starting at 18:28), with Content Creator MiyukiPanda and Executive Producer at Radical Forge, Des Gayle. We examine the differences between the popular film, comic source material, and this new story being told in an animated medium as we delve into the particular strengths of a world seen from a new set of eyes. This version of the story allows us to dig deeper into characters who have been given more fleshed-out arcs that add to the many themes that are delivered in a seemingly adolescent wrapper. That's not to say the animation is anything less than impressive, so the only question is whether we want to see more Scott! Other stories we're enjoying include: Legend of Korra, Dune 2 and Cars, The Wicked and The Divine, Mr & Mrs Smith, Apothecary Diaries, Disney Dreamlight Valley, Lightyear Frontier, Spider-Man 2, Andor, X-Men '97
