Scott Pilgrim Takes Off (2023)

Review by GryeD

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off

9/10

A very pleasing surprise a decade later

I remember when I was a teenager, I watched this movie and was blown away by great margins. Some could even say Scott Pilgrim was ahead of its time. The series takes the radically awesome story a step further and explores new aspects.

I must admit it is damn straight impressive they got the original cast back even after all of these years. That fact alone is enough to earn my respect towards the Scott Pilgrim franchise and its creators.

The animation is vastly different from anything I have ever seen. It's tricky to describe it, but its a bizarrely epic style with brightness and motions like none other.

The story is unique from all expectations, but was explained properly in the Scott Pilgrim way. Like most people, we only have memory of the legendary movie, so this series takes it a step further.

Exploring sides of characters we have never seen before, and even for people like me who did not read the books. I didn't feel left out for a single moment throughout all of the episodes.

I have verified the story of this series is a spinoff compared to the source material. While this series is a great attempt, I do respect the fact this show was meant more to be a one time thing. As getting the original actors to come back to the series continously wasn't part of the agreement.

If this is the last of Scott Pilgrim we will see, I respect it. The series surpassed all expectations even if it was radically different. There was great potential to make this a continous series, and I guess that wasn't in the vision of the creators.
