Hmm.. Maybe should be the "illusion of free choice" cow meme instead. Lol
I feel like 90% of the people sayin fight club is fighting and shit got that from just watching trailer and the deruving it from the name . The movie is really better than the name makes it out to be

What is the intentional meaning of Scott Pilgrim besides being an awkward teen brained romance plot?
Nothing nobody confuses it I've never heard of a strange Scott Pilgrim take. This post is not it
Scott objectifies Ramona, and through a series of physical fights with her exes, learns that he was fighting for a person that only existed as an idealized version of a perfect relationship. He subconsciously devalues Ramona, Knives, and himself throughout the entire film and only at the end does he realize that Ramona is a real person who should be treated like a real person and not a trophy.
Most people just like it because of the stylistic graphic novel aesthetic that they NAILED.
I am not usually one to roll my eyes at literary analysis, but these themes are not well developed in the movie at all. It is absolutely meant to be a visually interesting teen romcom first, with some commentary about relationships tagging along for the ride.

I'm going to be honest, I watched it once in high school because a friend was a fan. It has been a long time since then. This is a casual viewers input with maybe a decade viewing gap lol.
I remember the cool graphics, and I remember not liking Scott very much. The drummer chick was cool, but the focus on Scott's perspective demanded focus over her for telling the story you describe. Cera put me off some films back then, but I find I appreciate his earlier work in Arrested Development more nowadays.
No real valuable input to be had from me, but as a fan from other fandoms, I can appreciate the struggle of enjoying a setting and then having it consumed for cheap visual entertainment.
Let's be fair here. While that is the point of the Scott and Ramona story, the movie didn't really put a lot of effort into portraying that. The comics went a little more deeply into that dynamic and fleshing out the relationship, it was still pretty much the background against the character personality showcasing, and over the top dramatic fights. The movie really did nail the vibe and the characters but the whole "I think I learned something" and the end of the movie really downplays the "lesson" of the whole plot. So much so that I don't think Scott himself even fully understood the actual lesson he just learned. Just that what he was doing was wrong, and needed to change, but not why and what exactly it was he needed to change.
Great movie for sure, even better comic series, but a deep complex plot it isn't.
Scott not really understanding what he learned or why he needed to change actually fits very well with the new anime.

Capitalism destroys the human will to live.
Isn't this an underpinning of every story produced under capitalism?

could do this with adults choosing between 'donnie darko' and 'inception'
I never really understood how people didn't understand Inception. Maybe it's because Nolan's head was entirely up his own ass during the writing phase that the ending seemed rushed, obscure, and very "first year creative writing class" in its resolution, but it's pretty straight forward that the intent was to
Donnie Darko is some next level mind fuckery though.

create an ambiguous ending where the viewer debates whether or not Cobb is still dreaming.
Crazy shit. Now I need to rewatch DD.spoiler
He fulfills the Grandfather Paradox on himself in order to save reality from being destroyed.
Thank you for actually explaining Donnie Darko. The people I've talked with about it think it's about a boy and his schizophrenia
