Look familiar?

maybe not the best pic, but the new spectacular spider-man cartoon has a parker that
looks EXACTLY like scott pilgrim. he even has the t-shirt tag that sticks up like in the books!
character design guy is clearly a fan of mr. pilgrim. am i imagining things?
anyone else seen this and notice it?

[Scotticus Maximus]

...I think we see what we want to see. I was randomly watching Futurama the other day and thought "MAN, Fry really reminds me of Scott Pilgrim".

Then I ate a baby and laughed at the ridiculousness of it all. The end.

[Keiichi-chan]

the t-shirt tag makes me think it's more than a coincidence.
but, i can't really find any images of it online...watch a clip on yt and you'll see what i mean.
this pic isn't the best example..

[Scotticus Maximus]

Yeah, you're right, I saw the tag thing. I see one of the producers every once in a while, I'll try to remember to ask him about this conspiracy

[Keiichi-chan]

oh, cool, look at you all name-droppy and fancy whi--GET ME A JOB ON THE SHOW?!! ;__;

[Reubo]

god damn

I've definitely read someone point out the similarity on the intertubes somewhere before, because it's what got me to check the show out in the first place...which has since grown on me a lot, to the point where I used to wake up on Saturday mornings just to watch it.

Anyway, BEST SHOW. I hope they make 30 more seasons of it.

This is a sick show. but i dont see scott in this particular Pete. Sean "Cheeks" Galloway maybe had Scotty-boy in mind may be he didnt. i don't think he did.

However, i can see frys personality as scotts tho

[Keiichi-chan]

talking about looks and character design, not personality.
although it is a bit of an early 90's animated spider-man rehash sometimes, i do agree, SHOW IS
AMAZING! best superhero cartoon in the past few years!

[Tom Tom Benomnom]

Not really. That looks like Ultimate Spider-man Peter Parker.
Take a look at the first few issues of it, that is his exact costume.

Everything doesn't have to be Scott Pilgrim related or inspired! Goodness gracious Keichi... And shame on EVERYONE FOR BUYING INTO THIS!

[Keiichi-chan]

the parker design looks NOTHING like the ultimate spider-man design.
i'm familiar with THAT design...
the spidey's style in the show DOES look identical, though.

[Tom Tom Benomnom]

A good portion of the issues, he wears a white long sleeve shirt, and some sort of tshirt on top of it.

Hell, Bendis is a producer and wrote several issues of the show.

It's based off of Ultimate Spider-man.

[Scuba-Steve Matthews]

I dunno man, I wouldn't say based complelty of ult SM.
I think they just took their favourite things from each series of stories and ran with it. A few things that back this up would be stuff like...
Gwen isn't a "bad girl" at all, she's a geek like peter.
The symboite is alien, not man made
goblin wears a costume.
ben wasn't a hippie.
Tombstone is a major player thoughour most of the show

I think, in it's own right, the show is a completely different tale, taking the best ellements from 616 and the Ult universe. It's just an awesome show though, so this shouldn't even be an issue.
