Michael Cera will be taking the lead in Scott Pilgrim's Little Life.

Michael Cera cannot do THIS.

And Scott Pilgrim?

Scott Pilgrim does that!

Michael Cera cannot scream "You will pay for your crimes against humanity!"

Michael Cera cannot fight.

Michael Cera is not sincere.

Michael Cera does what Michael Cera does. He does his stupid stuttery thing that is delightful and awesome.

And Scott Pilgrim? Scott Pilgrim has some of that.

But there is a duality to Scott Pilgrim. Scott Pilgrim can be insecure. Scott Pilgrim can rock (rock so hard). Scott Pilgrim can fight with assistance from Clash and The Boys.

Michael Cera cannot do those things.

Unless he can.

In which case he has hidden it very well.

Michael Cera would not get into an awesome fight.

Have you not seen his "scenes for Knocked Up"? He is hilarious when he is angry. I <3 Michael Cera.

I begin to wonder if you guys have seen anything he has done outside of Arrested Development.

I saw that drunk history clip Mikey posted.

I like Michael Cera as well. Michael Cera is great.

But Michael Cera is not Scott Pilgrim.

I am almost of a like mind with Jay on this..

and yet.....

I hear tell that Cera can actually do this stuff, and has been kinda typecast since Arrested Development.

I don't know...there's a lot about him that could work.. but .. gah

I would be willing to accept that Michael Cera has been typecast since Arrested Development and that he is capable of something other than stuttering. I would be happy if he turns out to be an excellent Scott Pilgrim.

But I also maintain the position that if this is the case and he is capable of something other than being stuttery goofy Michael Cera then he has hidden it very well.
