Still haven't seen it either, but Cera is growing on me. It sure sounds like he's playing himself, but I'm not sure the "confident" Scott Pilgrim could actually be portrayed realistically on screen.
The character first interested me when he found himself deeply in love with Ramona but still too afraid to break up with Knives. Cera's style might work for me with this Scott. I think I'd rather see Scott Pilgrim as a weak person with flashes of confidence, rather than a confident person with bouts of weakness. Because then he's a hero.
Also, I haven't read volume six, so if there's some big revelation there, I'm missing it.
Maybe confidence is the wrong word. I think there's a general attitude that maybe I recognize as being confident. I see his character as sort of like Depp's portrayal of Ed Wood. What do you call that? determined? Conviction?
Hrm. Nope, that voice just doesn't do it for me. There's not even a hint of confidence in it.

ReplyDeleteOh, moxie?
ReplyDeleteMoxie sounds about right.
ReplyDeleteI saw Scott Pilgrim vs. the World this weekend, and I take back all the mean things you guys said about it.
ReplyDeleteThis is what I've been hearing from all my classmates today.
