I honestly loved all the changes to the movie vs. the original comic (it definitely kept most of the chaotic spirit though) that reflected Stevenson's real life transition. I thought it was a really thoughtful addition to the genre inversions that were already present in the comic and got better fleshed out in the film, it gave the story a lot of additional layers of meaning.
I've been a fan since the tumblr days I'm always happy to support Stevenson's work!
i too remember from the earlier tumblr days (anyone remember thranduil & the party elk? those were the days!) so it's wild to see how far this little story has gone. genuinely so happy for stevenson!
i will say that i think the film's art style is a downgrade because it feels bland compared to how offkilter and simple but expressive the comic was, wish some of that look had stuck around somewhere. the characters all look a little too babified to me with those enormous round eyes. but i can understand why these changes happen, and i'm just glad the story was done nicely and steven is happy with it!
I agree, the art style itself was definitely less unique - I wish the team had worked with a 2D studio but I get why it was animated the way it was. I was just thinking storywise I did appreciate all the changes at least.
Also definitely remember the LoTR comic days, and all the little mini-comics in general.
I love how Metric reached so many lil' millennials through Scott Pilgrim and now they're having another moment through this, they're so great and deserve the exposure.

Yeah the style and the coloring is distracting to me, but I am proud of how far it has come!
