Looks fantastic! Netflix has kicked me off the family account though so we'll see if I get around to this.

My only worry is that a lot of times actors can't voice act. Saying you're gonna get all the live action actors reprise their roles is cool on paper, but then we get Toby Maguire.

Fingers crossed, though.

Apparently it's 8 episodes long. Isn't that kind of short for a faithful adaptation of the graphic novels?

Still hyped for this, though.
Congrats to 2020 GotD Guru champ azuarc!
Is Scott Pilgrim the least popular series to get as many individual adaptations as it has?

There are so many less popular series with so much more content, especially when you get into the realm of crappy tie-in games.

A movie, game and animation in that order, right? Doesn't seem like that much.

Scott Pilgrim is an incredibly popular series. It's one of the best selling Graphing Novels of the last 20 years.

I wanted to fact check this and found an article that said it printed a million copies

That sounds.... really low?

A search of best selling graphic novels has a list where the lowest is 100 million

this was my first instinct, but 8 half hours ends up being twice as long as the movie, so its probably fine.

Gives you a one episode intro, one per-ex (twins obviously share an ep) and one more for whatever (probably between twins and Gideon). Its on netflix, so episode lengths dont have to be consistent too.

i just found that article too, and its from 2010, like a month after the movie came out. Its definitely way beyond that number by this point.

but also I found another article that said basically the series initially sold poorly, but Hollywood was in on the idea of adapting it pretty early on just based on the content. So the original movie wasnt necessarily produced based on the idea that Scott Pilgrim was a super popular. book series.

there was for sure a big discrepancy between its popularity and the budget of the film adaptation at the time of release

Manga are indeed graphic novels, but yes these days western YA/adult graphic novel sales are very low compared to manga sales (even excluding in Japan!) and childrens graphic novels. Though in fairness to Scott Pilgrim that 1 million figure is North America alone and right after the movie came out. Current total sales would be much, much higher.

Anyway heres source material less popular than Scott Pilgrim that got adapted a bunch: Snowpiercer. The comic is fairly obscure but it got a major film, a sequel graphic novel and a TV show.
