Scott Pilgrim vs The World

Scott Pilgrim is considered is be the perfect movie for our generation and I agree with that statement.  The overall feeling of the movie envokes what today's youth dream about.  All of the labels and icons that pop up throughout the movie keeps the feeling of a video game.  This generation is consumed by video games and the gaming industry.  Even the art community has been influenced by video games so the idea of including video games in a movie is genius.  The sound track of 8 bit music keeps the overall experience enjoyable.  The action packed fight scenes are also apart of the youth society.  The arcade like, street fighter type action project memories of old school arcade fighting games.  The comic book written BAM and WHOOP is reminessiant of the classic batman show with Adam West.  Ramona Flowers, Scott Pilgrim's crush has seven evil ex's and are all beta males, the opposite of Scott.  The way the evil ex's fight with Scott is to turn him into a beta male.
