Scott Pilgrim > Shaun of the Dead simply does not compute (unless you're some devotee of the comics) as it is easily the weakest in terms of writing and characterisation as well as lacking the pay-offs that Shaun and Hot Fuzz deliver and nowhere near the level of excellent pop-culture/genre-riffing.
