Haven't watched it before. Not sure what to expect, but I just saw that Captain America AND Captain Marvel are in this?! And Aubrey Plaza?!?! Why didn't I watch this sooner?!

I'm only 3 minutes in, but a 22 year-old and a 17 year-old dating seems kinda weird to me.

Edit: Superman is in this too, but I'm not really excited about him.

tbh, the clips from it are great but the movie as a whole fits together really weird. I'm not sure I would have liked it as much had I not seen the evil ex fights and other scenes prior to watching it as a whole.

Brie Larson and Aubrey Plaza have relatively minor roles. But yeah, huge cast.

Captain America is really strong in this movie. Stronger than he is in any MCU movie, aside from Winter Soldier.

Edit: oh wait, after quickly checking the age she's 23, that's not bad, thought she was like 18 or something.

The original comic does a better job of explaining the whole fighting angle so their abilities seem less random.

To be fair, she was making waaaaaaaay too big a deal about being almost-Eskimo sisters with her

They pretty explicitly mention that she and many of the exes went to either junior high or high school at the same time. I think Gideon might have been only the exception.

Casting was on point. music was on point (bass guitars always have D's coming out of them).

Which is why Im still confused why Ready Player One & Pixels was so bad.
Maybe videogames shouldn't always be considered for films.

It's only a 5-year difference. Would be weirder the other way around actually.

Irl she's older than him though.


Holy shit, she actually is... For some reason, I thought Michael Cera was older than he is now (31).

I know. But those aren't the reasons those 2 movies were bad. We'll probably never know.

Scott Pilgrim also isn't a video game movie in the same way that the others are. It contains a lot of video game homages and concepts, but it's also heavy on music and it's not like there's something that's intrinsically video-gamey about the fighting itself. Sure, the fights have some video game sound effects, but they also use comic-book looking effects (*possibly* because it was a comic first, although I assume it was more just for dramatic effect)

aside from getting points after a battle, him literally obtaining a 1-up from one, and one turning into the fight scene from a video game played in the movie and he levels up

yeah, nothing video gamey about the fights

While I disagree with your idea of a sellout, I should point out that Scott's band never seemed to be in it for the art and just wanted to be successful.

You're comparing video game movies -- that is, movies centering around an actual in-movie video game or, in the case of Pixels, video game characters coming to life who have to be defeated like in their games -- to a movie that has video game homages in addition to a lot of other homages. Hell, why not call it a music movie? There's more music in there than video games, and one of the central conflicts involves their band. You'd have a better case for comparing Scott Pilgrim to the Josie and the Pussycats movie than you do to Ready Player One.

Not actually a spoiler: Actually, pretty much all of the characters are my favorite character. Stephen Stills is at the top though. That guy REALLY helped me out when I was a lonely kid

Shes amazing in the great hockey movie Goon (and its sequel), and shes a main character on one of my favorite shows The Newsroom. Shes cute as hell in both of those, and better looking than she was in Scott Pilgrim
