Although as comic readers will know, his Fantastic Four logo isn’t the one worn by Reed, Sue, Johnny or Ben, but the ‘Four-and-a-half’ logo, which was worn by Franklin Richards, the son of Mr. When Scott finally defeats Lee, his T-shirt switches to the Fantastic Four logo in the following scene. When Chris Evans was announced as Lucas Lee in Scott Pilgrim, most people immediately remembered him for his… performance as Johnny ‘Human Torch’ Storm, from the dire Fantastic Four films (although these days, he’s best known as the future Captain America, proving that in the Marvel Universe, even box-office death isn’t the end). You’re a geek, you should know this stuff already. Is it explained where her outfit’s inspiration comes from? Is it hell. Her deadpan delivery contrasts with the elaborate outfit, as well as the stereotype of typically perky and upbeat Japanese teens.

Of course, comic readers will know that Launchpad McQuack is one of the few Sex Bob-omb songs that Bryan Lee O’Malley included chords and lyrics for in the books – although unfortunately, the movie version, composed by Beck, bears no noticeable resemblance to it.Īlthough Kim Pine’s role in the film was sidelined substantially from the comics, she did provide a huge amount of comic relief in the film – no more so than when, for the climactic battle, she dresses in the Japanese Gothic Lolita fashion, which involves wearing dark-coloured, Victorian-inspired clothing, emphasising beauty and cuteness over sex appeal. Envy once sang in one of Scott’s earlier bands, Kid Chameleon, alongside Stephen Stills and Steph Nordegraf, and Scott’s first band (which he played in with Kim Pine) was called Sonic And Knuckles.Īlthough the film’s soundtrack calls the song We are Sex Bob-omb, the first song the band plays in the film is given as Launchpad McQuack, which is – of course – a reference to the Disney character of the same name, who served initially as Scrooge McDuck’s personal pilot and bodyguard, and later as the sidekick to the original terror that flaps in the night, Darkwing Duck. The name itself comes wholly from the 1990 NES beat-‘em-up, The Clash At Demonhead, but also forms a pun based on the name of seminal British punk band, The Clash.īonus band name references: All of the bands named in the Scott Pilgrim world refer to games.
The name of the band fronted by Natalie ‘Envy’ Adams (played by Brie Larson in the film) is, as we all know, The Clash at Demonhead. When Scott claims to be playing the bass line from Final Fantasy II, he’s actually playing the bass line from Final Fantasy II (which, as we all know, is actually Final Fantasy IV in Japan.) By contrast, Scott Pilgrim is meticulous in its details. Nothing exposes an embarrassing attempt to look cool than when something attempts a reference, then immediately fouls up, making it clear it has no idea what it’s talking about and is just attempting to cynically trade off the currency of cool.
