So I edited together a video relating a brief history of funny comics with the use of comic relief in superhero films and comics, and how Edgar Wright's use of humour in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World achieves a very similar fun tone to Bryan Lee O'Malley's comic, but by using the tools of a different medium.
I have a few more ideas I'd like to discuss, like the history of the 12A rating (which all comes down to Steven Spielberg, Indiana Jones, and Gremlins) and the development of comedy in Superhero films in terms of Tim Burton's Batman, Batman '66, and how not to do it - George Clooney and the Bat Credit Card, anyone?
So maybe I'll get around to it, but this video is long enough as it is. I think I sound stupid in it, but that's probably because I do.
