Wasted potential
When I saw the cast and screenshhots for this series I was hyped to say the least but ended up very disappointed. Seeing a shifted narrative that focus on Ramona is a great idea, unfortunately the execution wasn't.
Writers of the show completely misses the witty and stylish characteristics the comic and film adaptation delivers. It's very cliche with the same self-empowered-female message you see in alot of mainstream media nowadays, although without any real substance or originality to it. Knives and Ramona used to be my favorite characters in the Scott Pilgrim universe but comes off completely uninteresting here.
The animations, music and cast is top notch and had so much potential for this to be a great show. Unfortunately that talent is all wasted thanks to incredibly mediocre writing that completely fails to make use of the talent available to them. Something that's unfortunately way too common. 5 starts is thanks to the animations, music and cast. Hire better writers.
