Mae Whitman understood the assignment and showed up and showed out. I love how ridiculously dramatic Roxy is, and Whitman nailed it.
This fight easily has the best shots in the entire film. Ramona reaching out stop Roxy, the disco ball shattering and reflecting everyone, the zoom in on Roxy's face before Ramona kicks her. Very DePalma.
"Your BF's about to get F'd in the B" - Best delivered line of dialogue in cinematic history
“Just a phase” when the flashback in the show makes it more impactful and emotional
I’m most excited to hear Mae Whitman reprise Roxy in the new Scott Pilgrim anime. She’s a seasoned voice actress, so I know she’ll deliver excellently like she does here.
The visual of Scott's brain switching from 'No Clue' to 'Gets It' is hysterical.
I love how Ramona without even realizing just completely roasts Roxy, saying that what they had meant nothing and it was jsut an experiment, just goes to show how terrible she is as a person.
Fun Fact: The back of the knee thing was showed in the comics as the weak spot for Envy, even Scott says the same thing that Ramona said here
Bi-furious, best line of the movie
something interesting is that in the comic Roxy actually is the only ex that gets close to breaking ramona and scott up, brooding lesbian power.
"Back off hasbeien" iconic. Thats why i love her
Edgar Wright has such a talent with making his actors look good in actions scenes. He is one of the directors that can film choreography impeccably well.
I think she had a right to be angry at being called “Just a phase” though
I love the little dolly shot of Ramona grabbing Scott's wrists and even moves them around like she's preparing to fight more
This was one of the sickest fights of the movie, and Roxie had such a valid reason to be angry
I love how Ramona has those Akane Tendo anime trope abilities. unnatural super-strength and use of hammerspace.
"Back off, has-bian" 😂
Fun fact, both Michael Cera and Mae whitman got their acting start as voice over work in animation as kids. So they technically are the perfect people to portray graphic novel characters come to life. You can see and hear Mae knows a bit on how to give that mange anime type of VO work without over doing it.
It's funny that she uses a fighting style That has her exposing her weakness.
