Scott Pilgrim, strangely like Mark Zuckerberg, is a representation of an aspect of The Facebook Generation. He’s a result of the way this group was raised with a silver spoon. There are very few Facebook teenagers with Zuckerberg’s drive because we’re used to never really being in danger. If school gets hard and the class does poorly, the grades are curved (everyone in the class gets extra points so people have higher grades). If a kid is having a hard time, they’re placed into a more comfortable situation. If we want that brand new cell phone or iPod, we often times get it. Edgar Wright is suggesting that very many of us are indifferent, lacking passion.
