Bust Rodd posted:Do you hate him besides being the Millenial Matthew Broderick? That's surprisingly accurate but Broderick at least did The Producers which was very good. Mostly because Mel Brooks is good. Cera is like the quintessential boring awkward nerd in every single loving thing I've ever seen him in and he sucks Also yeah I guess he hosed my mom on prom night

Also, who the gently caress wants a live action archer movie? That's a dumb as hell idea. What? Cartoons not good enough for you? Jon Benjamin IS archer, and I guess it would be funny to see him in a wig trying to look handsome, but otherwise no, gently caress. Boring. A live action Rick and Morty would probably end up being one of the worst films ever made.

If we're being even slightly serious, get that kid who played Kevin in the Vacation movie as Morty. He played a perfect whiny bitch.

Also he's way too goddamned old to play Morty. Decade ago maybe now nah. Depressio111117 posted:This, too. Of all the things to like Matthew Broderick in, you pick that awful Producers remake?

I think Cera is fine but gently caress him for ruining Scott Pilgrim, because that comic is amazing but the movie blows, and all my dumbass friends refuse to read it because they associate the character with him and he's one of those everyone-hates-his-guts-for-some-reason guys, so he basically poisons any IP he touches.

He's actually quite successful and has made a lot of money and been in a lot of successful things, such as the aforementioned film which i'm pretty sure has made money. Also he was in some show everyone loves about some family of assholes and a dad who went to jail? I mena maybe he poisons poo poo for your pedestrian-rear end friends.

Cera was perfect in that role because treating Scott Pilgrim as an unironic or uncritical nerd-geek-culture escapism fantasy is loving idiotic and the melancholy and waywardness the film, and Cera in particular, brought in served to heighten those themes and enhance both the film and the original graphic novels. You loving idiot. You moron. You knucklehead.

What I'm saying is that if you liked the Scott Pilgrim comics but thought that the film was "too mopey" or "got it wrong" or some poo poo you're trash garbage. You're a poo poo garbage nerd who belongs in a dumpster.

I'd assert that, due to their overlapping development, the movie actually made the comics, especially volumes 5 and 6, materially better because of the crossover of ideas.

I don't agree. Despite improving art, the comic read just like an average niche webcomic throughout, only with better production values. The movie took the perfectly functional core and made it good.

I liked the Scott Pilgrim movie. I don't detest Michael Cera. I LOVED the Scott Pilgrim comics. I think Michael Cera was a terrible Scott Pilgrim and it nearly killed the movie for me. I get that Michael Cera's typecast is the shy weird awkward geek, but those guys aren't all made alike. Scott Pilgrim, to me, was less the Cera-type weird and more just an invisible shadow of a human. He exists in a basement apartment, has no job, has virtually zero possessions, and exists almost entirely on the kindness of others. He develops a stronger personality when he falls for Ramona, and his arc is about growing up and into a person. I just didn't get any of that from Michael Cera. Besides, he had the wrong look, and isn't that what Hollywood is about, anyway? But I still liked the movie! Great soundtrack, ballsy art direction, and all of the other performances were on point. Besides which, it tickles my fancy to see Toronto in a movie as itself, for once

I don't think the Scott Pilgrim movie is bad because of Cera's performance. I think it's bad because it takes something so good and shoves it in a format that doesn't make sense (live-action film). They did some clever stuff with effects, but their attempts to translate the appearance of cartoon characters onto actors (or, more specifically, actresses) created some really weird costumes and made characters who felt at home in a comic into unrealistic caricatures of people. Also it felt like it was pandering to the audience in a way that the comic didn't. Somehow, scenes like Scott finding a one-up that looks like an icon of his head is a funny gag in the comic but a weird "hey, video games, am I roghy? Nudge nudge" in the film. Same with using the Zelda jingle on scene changes and stuff.

I never read the comics, but I enjoyed the movie. The thread may now return to discussion of Rick and/or Morty.
