People revisit Scott Pilgrim vs. the World for the same reason it broke through in 2010: clear stakes, memorable faces, and a comedy rhythm that doesn't stall in the middle. Edgar Wright keeps the ensemble pointed in one direction. The action and comedy blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
