Scott Pilgrim Takes Off: Whatever

Ramona, heads to a film set to see Lucas, her movie star ex, whose role in a major Canadian motion picture attracts media attention - and the paparazzi.

They're starting to really lean into the meta (metaverse?) nature of this re-interpretation of the story. I laughed out loud when it was revealed what Young Neil's screenplay was about, and the gag of it being directed by Edgar Wrong.

directed by Edgar Wrong.

Plus, the security guards were voiced by Nick Frost and Simon Pegg.

I missed that! I noticed the director was voiced by Kevin McDonald, but he's got a pretty distinctive voice.

I was wondering why security guards in Toronto would have British accents and then I saw the credits and figured it was so that they could give cameos to them.

I keep wondering if there's a specific actor that Chris Evans is imitating for Lucas Lee. Sometimes I think Stephen Seagal, but other times, naw. He wears the 'tude well, in any case.

I really want some BTS clips of Chris Evans' process in this episode. What was in the script and/or direction to inspire the variety of grunts he... grunted

I was SO PLEASED that I figured out the guards were supposed to be Simon Pegg and Nick Frost literally five seconds before the credits made it clear
