The first episode of Scott Pilgrim Takes Off makes you think it will all be a rehash of the comic/movie with a few different jokes, but then throws a big curve ball - what if Scott had lost against the League of Evil Exes? - that takes the characters on an entirely different journey. And in the process - and this is the best part - we'll get to find out what Ramona's past relationships were like, delve much more into many of the characters, and actually make a better case than the original story did for the Scott-Ramona match. Many of the characters come into their own, including the Exes, but the big winners here are Young Neil, Knives Chow and Julie (Aubrey Plaza - because yes, every member of the film's cast agreed to return and voice their characters - they even integrate Edgar Wright's movie in a way). If they do a sequel, I hope they can do the same for Scott's sister and Kim Pine. So... outlandish visuals, fun format mash-ups, references to everything from Behind the Music to Dragonball and Old Man Logan (by way of Bill & Ted), and cool new music tracks. A good time whether chugged or parcelled out. 5 months 1 week ago
