I hope that you someday watch the tv show!

Brie Larson put out some albums a few years back. Here is Black Sheep: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xcSDYy3Dl4

And if you watch "Just Mercy" from 2019 you can see Captain Marvel and Killmonger teaming up to save Electro! (To be clear, "Just Mercy" is not a fun movie by any means, but it is very good.)

Ryan Myers

I watch the blurry color transitions in the beginning and sync my copy accordingly. It always seems to work out.

Chris Monteroza

Damn with The timer running backwards, I could not match it up with the movie. Did I do something? Can I change this?

Jesse Ortiz

top movie and so many things to find when you re-watch it. Also you should read the books.

Chris Parker

https://www.gamesradar.com/every-scott-pilgrim-vs-the-world-videogame-reference/ There are so many hidden video game references in this movie that I just had to share this article with you. Its one of my favorite movies ever, (I loved your video of it as well), and little easter eggs like this make it even better.

I know you may not read this by now but when I saw that you posted this on Youtube I immediately decided to join your patreon. This is one of my all time favorite movies and I just had to watch the whole thing with you. Great choice! and Great job!

top 10 underrated movies and 1 of my favs .. The movie is just a goofy fun watch.

This was a nice throw back & really enjoyed rewatching this! Another Awesome job by Nat! Some Fun Facts: the director, Edgar Wright, next project after this movie was gonna be, Ant Man for the MCU. Wright had actually pitched, wrote, & was ready to Direct the movie however parted ways w/ Marvel months before shooting due to creative differences (Wright wanted a darker movie). Easter Eggs: the movie featured Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) and Clark Kent (Brandon Routh)! Also, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who played Ramona Flowers, brought out a huge Mallet during one of the fight scene and years later played the Huntress on a movie Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey, teaming up with Harley known to carry a large Mallet! LOL!

As far being fresh but still familiar, I'd suggest Ready or Not (think Cabin in the Woods), or LIttle Monsters (think Shaun of the Dead/Hot Fuzz). Familiar in the sense that the associations aren't even that closely related, but they're still genuinely fun and stand on their own like the films I'd associate them with. Thoroughly enjoy these curveballs and hope to see more of them.

Christopher Robles

In 2023, it's better that it's not the high schooler. The only redeeming aspect of their relationship is he never tried to do anything with her and it was just an ego boost and to try to not be alone.

Thoko

I highly recommend that you react to Groundhog Day

John Cedar

This mans really though we were gonna agree 💀 The internet really tricked too many people into thinking their opinions matter 🤣

minuteforce

This was such a good pick for you! I hadn't seen it since it first came out and it's so cool to revisit it after seeing all the cast members in so many other things over the years

Taff Lewis

Edgar Wright, a favorite.

Camaro English

we need a live action Resident Evil reaction

DMON

I've watched this a bunch of times over the years. It's cool because it really just follows the graphic novel world. Being from Toronto I know it's also a bit of a love letter to places like Lees Place, Sam the Record Man, Honest Ed's etc...

@adrian_r31

Also that actually is Brie Larson singing in 'Black Sheep' and she was recently #1 on i forgot what chart recently when the song blew up again.

Jordan Henry

Crazy, I just joined the Patreon this week, and as I was watching a few of your videos, I thought to myself "She must have done Scott Pilgrim at some point" and searched and was shocked not to find it. But here, you did it! Glad you liked it, I adore this movie. :)

Mr BONDI

You should watch the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World Reunion Table Read that Entertainment Weekly did 2 years ago with almost all the cast, is awesome

alejandro

top 5 movies of all time idc!! also, last year Netflix announced the making of 'Scott Pilgrim : The Anime', and just last month they announced the entire cast would be reprising their roles. Cera, Evans, Larson, Kendrick, Plaza, so on and so forth!!

alejandro

yessirrrr, black sheep by brie larson is on all my playlists!! cannot get enough

Jacob King

They were also adapting an ongoing series and just sort of tied it off at the convenient point. (Similar to Game of Thrones) Neither ending would be entirely satisfying because Scott’s not done the work to fix his character. If he has to end up with one of them it’s better that it’s not the high schooler he treated so poorly.

Jacob King

It’s meant to be taken literally like Captain America or Scenes from a Marriage. In the comic there is a hole in the moon where Todd punched it and Scott really did fight a hundred guys to rescue Kim when they were in high school. The premise is what would millennial slackers be like in a manga/video game universe.

Michael G. Munz

So, this movie is meant to be entirely a dream sequence of Scott fantasizing about what it's like to have a girlfriend?

Barbie Pootsky

You should watch The Tragedy of Macbeth with Denzel Washington

Athenor

Great reaction Nat I think the only thing you didn't catch(probably because you are newer to gaming) is the nega Scott, It's a common video game trope to make the hero fight a shadow,(or negative) version of themselves.scott defeated his by embracing and accepting the negative parts of himself. Hope you had a great backpacking trip and welcome home,as I assume you are by now :)

Jim Lent

This was fun, and I've never been a video gamer.

Regi Todd

One of the questions posed during the reaction was whether Michael Cera is actually playing bass, and as a matter of fact, yes he did, and *too* well for the sound Beck (of hit single "Loser" fame and who wrote all of Sex Bob-Omb's songs for the film) was going for that Cera had to be asked to play down his skills

Ben Violette

I feel like Knives really is the hero of the story

JerichoFalls

Honestly Nat, the chair is probably the problem. Those "racing" style gaming chairs have terrible ergonomics, especially for the price they ask. I had a Maxnomic for a while. Decent in terms of fit and finish and initial comfort but ruined my already bad back after extended use. Not to mention the chair actually developed a common problem in chairs like this where the backrest is became crooked which made it worse for my back. Since you sit for work so much you should really invest in a true ergonomic chair(and maybe writoff?). Heck you're in LA for now so you probably have a huge market of decently priced, lightly used HermanMiller or Steelcase chairs in your area. I have a used HM Aeron and I would never go back to the likes of a gaming racing chair, especially if I had to sit more than a few hours in it. Save your back any way you can!

Ariana Mitchell

im freakin obsessed with michael cera and all his work, he actually makes his own music, it's really good i feel like you'd like it. i hope your back feels better, i know that pain and it's not fun

Matthew

One of those moments where test audiences maybe missed the mark. That screenwriters worked with Pilgrim's creator on the new ending, though, made it something that was still sweet enough to work.

Asa Leon Barber

>Yeah, she's not for you, dude Fun fact: In the original version of the film, Scott ended up with Knives, and Ramona skated off into the sunset, but testscreenings showed that general audiences hated it, so they reshot the scene, with Knives giving him her blessing to chase after Ramona.

Harrison

I love every one of Edgar Wright's films. Don't know if you've seen his Baby Driver (2017) yet or his latest thriller Last Night in Soho (2021) yet but I think you'd enjoy them <3

Boomcity

Sorry you're suffering from Long Covid seeing how you have no taste.. get well soon!! 🥰

Boomcity

Great cast, great soundtrack, great editing, great directing. Definitely in my top 10 movies.

Logan Kerlee

This movie is fantastic! I've watched this so many times over the years. It's hard to believe that this has been around for so long! lol, makes me feel old! hahaha, but I still totally enjoy watching this. :) Very happy that you checked this one out Natalie!

Myles Away

Mortal Kombat (1995) didn't have a good story and it didn't work. The movie is fun because its so bad. Mortal Kombat is just as campy and cartoonish as the rest of the era, it just had a kick ass hit song as the theme.

David Guin

Scott Pilgrim Versus the World may just be the perfect movie.

BobRooster

always funny to me that they changed the ending to make it make less sense. Like they were horrible together the whole movie clearly they should not have gotten back together.

bytefyre

Glad you enjoyed this so much! There was a reunion on Zoom during the pandemic with a bunch of the cast, the director, and the guy who wrote the original graphic novel, and it featured a full table read of the movie script. It’s still up on YouTube, so you should check it out sometime!

Jeff Mills

There was a time when most video games that became adapted into movies really weren’t successful. “Super Mario Brothers”, “Street Fighter”, “Double Dragon”, etc. They came off as campy and cartoonish. “Mortal Kombat” the original was a bit like that, but it had a good story and it worked. However, in recent years I think movies and TV shows have done a better job of adapting video games. They’re darker and more serious now, and they’re not campy or cartoonish for the most part. I always thought “Metal Gear Solid” would have been a great movie. Best PS1 game I ever played.

Wu Sha Ling

alison pill is perfection in this and scott diving through the window is a genius gag

Mastervodo

Chris Evans also played Human Torch, Brandon Routh played The Atom in Arroverse. And I think Brie's Princess Valhalla Hawkwind counts as another super heroine.

Mastervodo

2nd interesting tidbit! Brie actually sang the song for the movie, has a full version of the song on the extended soundtrack, and has a vid on youtube of her singing it a cappella.

Mastervodo

Hey Nat! Here's one of those interesting tidbits in the comments you talk about. Brie Larson in a youtube video explained her Envy "performance". She was up late at night, flipping through channels and landed on the AVN awards! She saw the starlets on the red carpet and decided to go with that! If you look on youtube it shows a clip of her casting. She basically is talking like a porn star!

Philippe Dessaints

Man having evil Captain America, Captain Marvel and Superman in the same movie was so damn funny

ButtyOh

Yeah I came back because I like Daredevil and the Boys

Mastervodo

Apparently you also forgot that you were leaving this Patreon after the last time you were butt hurt because your latest film/tv series didn't win a poll. Welcome back. Weeeeeee've missed you.

Micah Shook

What a great choice!

overdev

one of my all time favorite movies, easily in the top 10, Edgar Wright is just a genius :) the movie is also really close to the comics, there is a video of that on youtube comparing it

Baggie Mark

Hi Nat... I hope its not Dave's fault your back is hurting 😒... I may have to start a SAVE DAVE petition!!! Hope the back feels better for your backpacking trip..

Devon Joseph

I thought in this weeks episode of TB she said we would get a second one, was I confused on what she meant by that?

Jenny Tolls

Fridays are always for movies so no. We’ll have to wait for next week to see The Boys.

Devon Joseph

Wait is the Boys coming today or tomorrow?

Tony Sanson

Okay look, Scott Pilgrim has shown up everywhere on my YouTube suggestions over that past week, out of the blue. I don't know why. Probably has to do with the announcement that the cast is coming back for the Netflix animated show. I've watched so many random reactors watch this movie over the last week, the soundtrack is stuck in my head, I watched the full thing again two nights ago thinking "boy, I wonder if Nat or some of my other favorite reactors will watch this anytime soon", and here you are...out of nowhere. There are so many little details in the movie that you'd only catch with multiple viewings. The stars in Knives' eyes at the beginning listening to the band, all the hidden "X"s, the "X"s and hearts in the lights behind Scott and Ramona on the bus after the fight with Matthew Patel (and how they change when Ramona realizes Scott's still wants to date her), just a lot of little details like that all throughout the film. There are even references or outright callouts to what number each ex is (Patel has one chevron on his shirt, Lee has two "X"s on his belt, etc.). And yes, Michael Cera does play guitar. As some others have pointed out here, he had to dumb down his playing in order to match the others who were being coached on how to play. And I agree with you about Hollywood not wanting to take any chances. Scott Pilgrim wouldn't get made today because it's too out there and not based on a hugely popular existing IP. As Edgar Wright said in the cast reunion table read (you can find it on YouTube) during one of the more outlandish parts of the script, "A major studio made this", which got a good chuckle out of the cast. Because we all know they would NEVER take the chance again. We'll not get into how the movie commercially bombed...but you gotta admit, how the heck do you market this movie?

Tay Schumaker

I've shown this movie to so many of my friends. I am a huge fan of the original graphic novels and Edgar Wright did such a good job with this. It is so stylistically fun and great performances throughout. They're also doing an anime of this and the entire cast is returning.

Joe Blankenship

I resisted this movie for a while, but it turned out better and funnier than I thought it would be.

Ian

Happy Friday nat hope you're having fun camping I'm sure the doggies are loving it 👌 . Will save this reaction til tomorrow cuz I'm not really that excited about it tbh it's an ok movie that's about it but your reaction will make it a fun watch I'm sure 👍 have an awesome chilled weekend

ButtyOh

Jeez I'd forgotten how bad this film was

Jason Smith

One of my favourite movies of all time. The cast is incredible.

adrianR31

One of the best movies ever made.

Slick447

I was just watching some clips of the cast doing a table read of this during Covid. Glad I have an excuse to watch it again! Also, I feel your pain Natalie. Going to the chiropractor on Monday for my lower back.

Darryl Low

he he. Awesome thumbnail today Nat 😊 Happy Feature Friday. I know you're off grid, but hope you're having fun on your camping trek. Patreon didn't let down. Not seen this movie since it's release. I remember it being fun, so I'm looking forward to revisiting it with you 😊 That was definitely a really enjoyable reaction Nat. Much needed this week. Fun to see that 3 of the cast were, or went onto play superheroes. Brandon Routh, the vegan bass playing Todd played Superman in Superman Returns, Brie Larson plays Captain Marvel, and of course Chris Evans played Captain America. Very cool. Thanks for a great reaction today Nat, and thanks for all your awesome work this week. Hope you are having a brilliant time away on your travels 💛
