Scott Pilgrim Takes Off remixes what you think you know about Scott Pilgrim
20.11.2023 - 16:19 / polygon.com / Scott Pilgrim
There’s a conversation that crops up around Scott Pilgrim — the dude, the comic, and the movie named after him — far too often to go unaddressed: Scott Pilgrim is dating a high schooler.
This is quite literally the text; it’s the first line of the movie, the first panel of the comic book,and mostly framed in the same way each time: Scott Pilgrim is kind of a loser. Still, as these things do, from time to time the Discourse™crops up, and people squirm under the uncomfortable discussion introduced by generally well-liked Scott Pilgrimbeing a bit of a turd. Like Doctor Manhattan, we experience this loop over and over again, as people relitigate the issue that’s really supposed to be a clear indicator that Scott has made some very questionable decisions.
[Ed. note: We’re getting into light spoilers beyond the first episode of Scott Pilgrim Takes Off. You’ve been warned if you want to watch first!]
Netflix’s new anime Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, written by original comic scribe Bryan Lee O’Malley and BenDavid Grabinski, makes its point on this matter even clearer. When Lucas Lee (Chris Evans), now playing Scott Pilgrim in a movie, hears his character is dating a high schooler, even the “quintessential Hollywood bad boy” is skeeved out. “I’d never do anything that stupid. If I did, my career would be over.”
Takes Off is very aware of what two decades worth of fans have said about its titular guy. And now it’s decided to do something totally different with all those thoughts. If Scott Pilgrim the comic was the original song, and the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World movie was the radio edit, then Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is a full-on remix. We’re talking Beyoncé’s “Savage” remix, or Elton John joining forces with Dua Lipa. Hell, you could even point to “All Along the Watchtower,” a cover that totally changes the nature of the song itself. Because Netflix’s show makes one very crucial change to make its title literal, rearranging the story completely while getting at the heart of the themes it was always about. In Takes Off, Scott Pilgrim isn’t the main character anymore. And everyone’s lives are better for it.
Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) has always been a lot of things in the Scott Pilgrim story: She was Scott’s girlfriend, his dream girl, a relatively grownup presence in his otherwise childish life, a roller-skating delivery person, that one girl with hair like this. But while she was never a manic pixie dream girl for Scott (Michael Cera), she also wasn’t always a full person either, especially in the movie. By nature of the story, Ramona is the chase personified — to Scott, or to the exes battling her new boyfriend for another shot with her. The story is about how she’s indelibly cool. But it’s

Leo vs. Leo: Which of Netflix’s two hit movies with the same name is vital to your life?
The churn of Netflix content makes it almost inevitable that occasionally disparate movies and TV shows will share similar titles. It’s decidedly less typical for two different films bearing the exact same title to arrive on the service at roughly the same time. But that happened in late 2023: One movie called Leo arrived on the service on Nov. 21, followed by another movie called Leo just a week later.

‘I don’t want to revisit myself at 25’: The story behind Netflix’s bold Scott Pilgrim anime
By now most people know the secret behind Scott Pilgrim Takes Off: Scott Pilgrim — well, he takes off. He’s gone, for most of the narrative, leaving the players as we know them to pick up the pieces and figure out what happened to him. What happens to them in his absence is usually a total flip of what we’ve come to expect: Think Gideon introducing Lucas to the slowburn anime he’s been watching for a while (or maybe just a few days).

Napoleon Review: An Unforgettable Epic From Ridley Scott
Director Ridley Scott and actor Joaquin Phoenix reunite for the first time since their work in the iconic 2000 film Gladiator. Twenty-three years later, they are back with another historical epic,. Phoenix portrays Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of the French, during his rise to power and his tumultuous relationship with Joséphine (Vanessa Kirby). Scott’s grand cinematic spectacle demands the colossal canvas of the big screen. Although this movie has a few issues with its pacing and screenplay, and it’s far from Scott or Phoenix’s best work, Napoleon leaves a lasting impression.
