Yes it dropped by another 53% in the box office but it's per theater numbers didn't drop as much, only 15%. Still it's under $2K per theater number will put it on the short list of movies to drop when something new comes along.
It may last longer in theaters near colleges as students come back and are looking to rebond with friends.

Didn't see the ending (of the game) coming. Amused by it. Would not be surprised if that's how the comic ended.

I'm embarrassed it took me this long to realize a Scott Pilgrim vs The World AE arc needs to exist. BRB...
I saw it twice last week...I'm thinking about going again this week.
And I'm buying the sountrack as soon as I get paid. Beck did a great job.

You should include a clue in the first mission about defeats leaving coins

1) The arc clearly would shine under six missions. I have five.
2) The story is very much told from the narrator's point of view, which is Scott. You are not Scott.
3) For some reason, I can't design Matthew Patel in the character creation system.
The rest I'm working on.
Why not say in the intro that Scott (who I assume would be the contact) is taking you into a world which he created? Or at least heavily imply that the story, as it unfolds, is really masterminded by Scott and not "Fate" or even Gideon.

I would so like it if you wrote it as Wallace Wells. His snark + your snark = comedic goldmine!

If you can adjust Scott, begin him as a Martial Arts Scrapper who turns into a Katana Scrapper when he earns "the Power of Love."
Please let me know when you've completed this! And you have to have like every enemy drop inspirations/enhancements to simulate the coin-drops.
Thanks for eight fun years, Paragon.

Oh, Marcian!
All exil Exes are Elite Bosses.
Have Ramona, Stephen Still, Kim Pine, Young Neil and Knives Chau fight alongside you at points.
Non-Ex bosses: Nega Scott, Mr. Chau, Julie Powers (Sonic attacks, naturally), The Clash of Demonhead (cyborg-armed drummer, Envy Adams, then a boss version of Todd Ingram who uses Revive on himseelf and becomes an EB), Crash and the Boys (Crash is a boss, the Boys are minions), Little and Giant Robots as bosses leading up to the Twins fight...
Oh my god. make this, quick!
Thanks for eight fun years, Paragon.

1) You just counted six missions. Hence my problem. Also, a lot of what's great about Scott isn't the fighting. It's the moments of self-revelation. Trying to figure out how to ohonor that.
2) While I was walking to order breakfast this morning, I figured out the Katana thing. I want Wallace (The contact) to say something like:

Kinda sad he didn't realize this until he went to the Chaos Theater and got his head handed to him.
Thanks for watching out for the little guy. I asked you to help guide Scott through the ultra-violent world of dating, and you did. I gotta ask you one last thing, though. Scott went to the Chaos Theater again to tell Ramona how he feels, but he's no match for Gideon. I need you to go the Chaos Theater and save Scott. It's dangerous to go alone. Take this. Wallace hands you a sealed katana. Even in its case, you can feel the heat. This is my flaming katana of love. It's only effective in the hands of someone that has something worth dying for. Give it to Scott. If he really is in lesbians with Ramona, this should turn the table. Now $hero, go. Go and fight for what's right. Fight for Scott's love. Fight for justice. And most importantly, fight for Scott's moving off the floor of my apartment. |
3) I can't change enemy drop rates. I've been going over that in my head for a bit. I'm not entirely sure how to do the coins thing. I'm going to tweak it a lot. My goal would be to honor O'Malley's universe; not mimic it perfectly.

1) Each Ex will be a Boss, with the exception of the Vegan and Gideon. Vegan will be an Elite Boss, Gideon will be an Archvillain.
2) Still torn on allies. May go with Knives, as there's a "Betray on Exit" policy that could capture Knives' side-switch quite nicely. Not sure how to tag the other allies.
3) I want to go cameo crazy, but I also want this to feel like a complete 5-part mission arc instead of a laundry list of Scott Pilgrim things I liked.

Distressed Watcher can not seem go too many vids without insulting the human race. Being such a joyless individual who seems hate everything makes it really hard put much stock in his stance. It's one thing to nerdrage it up, It's really hard to get fans when you're taking such sweeping over generalizes on the public all the time. There's movie I didn't like the public did.(which i nerdrage over plenty.) I'm not going suggest the world needs reeducation because of it. He crosses that line all too often.

Should Wallace give you the Power/Sword of Love or the Power/Sword of Self-Respect? The way you make it seem in the dialogue is Wallace is telling you to help Scott in his retry at the Chaos Theatre, which would be the Self-Respect Power.
Also, you can have Kim, Stills, and Young Neil be hostages you need to rescue in the Chaos Theatre.
Julie Powers can be a secondary boss in one of the levels, maybe as a boss-level enemy and not a "named" boss per se. Also, Envy needs to be the second boss on the Vegan level, though you can set that up to be an optional mission objective.
If you want to go all out and create a villain group for each evil ex, Matthew Patel's group should include Evil Goth Cheerleaders and Crash 'n the Boys. Then Lucas Lee's group can be all clones of himself, and so on.

Good point on the sword. Give me a sec on that. Ooh! What if he was dual blades...?
(Easter Egg: The way Wallace describes Scott's death in my proposed dialogue is the same way the narrator tells Ness he died in Earthbound. Chaos Theater and all that.
)
Dual Blades would be excellent!

I think it'll do well on DVD/Blu-Ray, unless the nation has evolved past owning copies of a movie.
