I think Brie Larson could have been a singer if she wanted. "Black Sheep"-Brie Larson
This movie’s so good
The recent animated version was really good too
I thought the movie was a serviceable adaption of the story. Not perfect, but it never really could be given the scope of the comics. Absolutely a product of its time (especially with the incessant gay joke) but so were the comics (and I only just read the books and saw the movie for the first time last year). Unbelievable cast though, and it did feel like they all understood the characters they were portraying.
But good god the animated series was a masterpiece. Improved upon the story in just about every way, and I actually like much every single character. Most importantly it highlighted that Scott is a dick, and Ramona kind of is too. But they're working on it!
I think the fact they're both dicks comes across pretty solidly in the movie.
Its glossed over pretty heavily in the film, due to the "low" run time of having to tell the story in under 2 hours, and Scott having to be a hero to Gideon's "villain" for the movie structure to make sense. Yes Scott is a dick to Knives, but its never really properly acknowledged just how much of a dick he is apart from him saying "sorry" once in the final fight and then all is forgiven.
Thanks, that's what I was trying to get at. You can't help but think 'goddamnit Scott' ever couple pages in the comic and I didn't feel that much in the the movie
