Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

(

)

Brie Larson in 2010

... that, though she was one of few professional musicians cast in the film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Brie Larson's (pictured) performance was not included on its soundtrack? Source: re. few professional musicians, from Wright saying that they weren't hiring musicians [1], and Universal releasing about the cast being taught music [2], plus the articles on their careers. Re. the song and soundtrack: Larson performed it in the film and her version is a Blu ray bonus, but the Metric version is on the soundtrack [3]
- ALT1:... that the director of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Edgar Wright, thinks the film is different to other comedies because it features lots of funny female performers, citing Anna Kendrick, Aubrey Plaza, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Brie Larson? Source: "opposed to some of the other comedies out there – and even stuff I’ve done before – is that it has a lot of funny women in it. Really a large part of the cast, and even the books are not just about his love life, but his exes and family, and friends. There’s this one scene the other day that I would describe as “the funny lady relay race,” because there’s one scene which starts with Anna Kendrick, then switches to Aubrey Plaza, then switches to Mary, then switches to Brie Larson" [4]
- ALT2:... that the 2010 comic book adaptation Scott Pilgrim vs. the World features Robin, the Human Torch, Captain America, Captain Marvel, Superman, the Atom, and Huntress? Source: As the links suggest, other roles of the various actors: Cera as Robin in Lego Batman, Evans as Human Torch and Captain America in Fantastic Four and the MCU, Larson as Captain Marvel in the MCU, Routh as Superman in Superman Returns and as the Atom in the DC TV-verse, and Winstead in the new Birds of Prey.

Comment: Putting out women-based hooks for Women's History Month; a picture of any of the four would do for Alt 1. I did put up the Larson-based hook and image first because she's done a lot for equality in Hollywood so it would be appropriate to have her image on main this month. Also, a funny Alt last for options, up to the reviewer.

Improved to Good Article status by Kingsif (talk). Self-nominated at 01:14, 7 March 2020 (UTC).

Y Article is long enough (62.5k characters), is a GA (became GA on 6 March, nominated for DYK on 7 March), and article is within policy
Y ALT0 is my preferred hook, ALT2 makes no sense to me (although I think it's an attempt at an April Fool's hook). ALT0 and ALT1 are both short enough, interesting, and well cited
Y File:Brie Larson cropped.jpg is freely licenced, displayed in the article, and looks good at low resolution. The portraits of the other people listed in ALT1 are freely licenced, but not in this article, and the images in this article of them are less clear at low resolution that the Brie Larson image
Overall, this nomination passes, congratulations Joseph2302 (talk) 12:02, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
