>>798>At least the live action movieThe movie had the same problem as the Watchmen movie in that it had to condense a graphic novel series in 2 hours, which meant the pacing ended up being breakneck as fuck as it cut alot of the plot out, such as the entire fourth book, most of the fifth, and all of Ramona's character development, and most of Scott's character development for that matter. Actual spoilers btw ->
"Gaining the power of self-respect" is also a complete kick in the teeth, considering Scott's character development in the graphic novels and the equivalent there - gaining the power of understanding. I feel like alot of the negativity around the series comes from the movie itself.
As for the graphic novels themselves they're really good, but come with the asterisk of "you kind of had to be there to get the full enjoyment." It's also a Catcher in the Rye thing where you'll resonate with the story alot more if you're at or around the protagonist's age. Or you're a teenager.
