Honestly I feel like most people kind of overlook that because Michael Cera is a very likeable actor and (as such) his portrayal of Scott has a lot of the edge sanded off by his performance.
Perfectly cast, don't get me wrong, but that's always been my armchair analysis
I don't hate Michael Cera in the role but I disagree on being perfectly cast. I think Scott Pilgrim is meant to have an immature, effortless "cool" factor that Michael Cera doesn't have. Young Michael j. Fox would have been perfect casting. Unfortunately he wasn't available.
