Scott Pilgrim Takes Off

At a time when remakes and reboots and prequels and schmequels abound, the news that Scott Pilgrim would be returning in a new animated show didn't exactly blow us away, Shōnen-style. After all, how many times can Scott fight the same seven exes who still have a thing for his crush, Ramona Flowers? Like, she's cool and all, but get over it already.

It hasn't been that long since Edgar Wright's movie adaptation became a cult classic for good reason, and the Ubisoft game that followed also mined a lot of enjoyment out of Bryan Lee O'Malley's original comics too. So what else is there to say when it comes to Scott's story? Isn't it time to let that poor Pilgrim rest his weary feet? Actually, no, it turns out. Because yes, the show is animated in O'Malley's signature style and sure, the original movie cast are all reprising their roles, including Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and megastars like Chris Evans and Brie Larson. But make no mistake. Takes Off is not just a rerun. Not by any means
