12 Iconic Movie Characters Who Aren't As Cool As You Remember

6. Scott Pilgrim - Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World

It's pretty difficult for a character to be cool when the actor portraying him is Michael Cera, but that is the least of Scott Pilgrim's problems. He's also Canadian. But even his nationality is outshone by the fact that at the beginning of the film, Scott Pilgrim is dating a high school girl who is five years younger than him and has the maturity level of a ten-year-old. Plus, he gets beaten up by a vegan, and I don't know about you, but I've never seen a vegan that looks healthy enough to throw a punch that could be deemed as an inconvenience. "He plays for a band!" I hear you cry. "Surely that wins him some cool points?" No, because he's the bassist. Sorry, Scott, but life hasn't been kind to you.
