Scott Pilgrim Takes Off | Official Trailer

Awesome! I loved the comic, I liked the movie, and it looks like the same people are back for the cartoon, I will gladly watch this exact same plot again.

They're all such a good characters, and I'm so glad that Kieran Culkin is Wallace again, he was perfect in the live action movie.

It's wild that they got the entire cast back, and yet they seem to be telling the same basic story again? Or maybe that part of the trailer is from a sort of recap in the first episode and the story movies on from there? Otherwise it's like a remake with the same cast, and that's pretty wild, but cool.

It sounds like the basic story beats will be the same, but they plan to Switch it up. So also the anime? Graphic Novel? Comic? Wasn't done yet when the movie came out.

the film doesn't explore it as well as the comics did, but the story is about scott being a shitty, under-developed 23 year old. he is confronted with his past and forced to reckon with how terribly he has treated the women in his life. scott is supposed to help ramona defeat her evil ex-boyfriends but is faced with that prospect that he could become one if he doesn't become a better person. i'd really recommend reading it as the film gives the wrong impression of the story

- This is pretty much the same impression that I got from the movie.

Scott Pilgrim is an immature, self-centered little dork with the biggest case of literal main character syndrome. He's a dick to everyone, and that includes being sexist. That's the character, not the movie.

I understand your confusion though, because the entire narrative is built around Scott's delusions. All of his insecurities and foolish notions are played out as if they are reality, because for the intent of this story as an internal reflection of Scott's psyche, they are.

The comic is about the journey of discovery in which Scott and the reader slowly find out that Scott is a shitty guy to everyone. The movie tried to condense that into a fun, short action movie, losing the message in the way.

Yeah, I particularly also felt that Michael Cera was a disastrous miscast, especially since like one of the first things you hear in the book is that Scott Pilgrim is known to be the toughest fighter in his entire province. They really should have went with Jesse eisenberg at the very minimum.

- Michael Cera is the best casting for this character because we can immediately see who he really is right from the start. There's no illusion for the viewer that he's actually cool. He pretends to be cool, he aspires to be, but he sucks and he knows it - though he doesn't realize how apparent that also is to everyone around him.
  
  In a comic you can convey that quickly through text and other means, but if you want to let the audience in on how tragically lame he truly is right up front, there's nobody better at that than Michael Cera.

- yeah i'm gonna agree and it's also the fact that scott is supposed to be attractive and charming (not to make a dig at michael cera), which is why is can get away with being a loser
