Scott Gets One-Up – Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
When it comes to geek moments from comic book movies, very few can surpass just how on-point Scott Pilgrim vs. The World was. Having been a huge fan of the book and having been obsessed with just how awesome it was, I can honestly say that despite a mega-changed ending, this is as solid and true-to-form as comic book movie adaptations come. It was such a perfect film for what it set out to be, and I still cannot understand why some people weren’t a fan of it.
Though the entire film is littered with spot on depictions of scenes that are great geek out moments for fans of the series, the moment when we see Scott get his extra life (the book and movie were littered with game references, it was hard to pick just one) was totally awesome. It was such an essential scene to depict the growth that Scott had experienced across his adventures. Plus, just seeing a movie character get a ONE-UP, with pixel animations, sound effects, etc., was very geek-tastic.
