At first, it doesn’t really feel that way. For most of the first episode (of eight), Takes Off plays out like, well, an animated version of Scott Pilgrim. There are some superficial differences — Ramona now delivers DVDs for Netflix instead of packages for Amazon, since the show is on Netflix — but otherwise things are basically the same. That means it’s a story about Scott (Michael Cera), who is nerdy, lazy, and oblivious to the feelings of everyone around him. He meets the (literal) girl of his dreams in Ramona (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and they go out, despite the fact that he’s already dating a high-school girl named Knives (Ellen Wong).And then things get pretty weird. Ramona, it turns out, has seven evil exes, and in order to date her, Scott has to defeat them all. It’s basically a love story with the structure of a video game, using Street Fighter violence to explore a whole lot of emotional baggage. Takes Off follows that story up until the very first fight between Scott and the initial evil ex, Matthew Patel (Satya Bhabha). Then it, ahem, takes off in another direction.
