One Thing About Scott Pilgram Vs. The World

"I'm what's hip, I'm what's happening, I'm what's blowing up right now"

The final battle scene where Pilgram fights Gideon (Michael Cera and Jason Schwartzman) has more than meets the eye...to my eye.
Think of Jason Schwartzman back in Rushmore era.  He was the awkward teen nerd/dork that got the girl at the end.  His crown of the awkward arrested developed teenager has been passed to Michael Cera.  Cera, who started in Arrested Development, began a career of type casting of the same title Schartzman was in the late 90s.
So, the line that Schartzman says, stating that he is "hip" and "what's happening" is (possibly) the actor coming to the end of his 'awkward but good guy' character career and Cera has definitely taken over the job.
King of the Dorky Good Guys.
