Vegetarian Star

Brandon Routh may have played a vegan with superpowers in the Scott Pilgrim movie, but a team of researchers from both the FDA and several universities have discovered people eating vegan diets may indeed gain abilities that their meat-eating peers lack.

These newly discovered abilities are in addition to the health benefits a vegan diet bestows, which the USDA has recently recognized as a healthy option in its nutrition guide.

“It’s certainly putting veganism, veganity we call it in this movie, the vegan lifestyle is put out there. Todd isn’t necessarily the nicest promoter of the vegan lifestyle but it speaks well of it to say that you get the power of telekinesis and superpowers because you’re more clear, you’re more healthy, all of those things. So I think that they all have a good sense of humor.”

—Brandon Routh, on how he thinks vegans react to the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World movie in which he plays a vegan ex boyfriend who uses superpowers the diet gives him to fight Scott Pilgrim.

The Scott Pilgram vs. the World trailer is out.

The film features Michael Cera‘s character dueling with seven evil ex boyfriends of the girl who’s heart he wants to win.

This classic love story has an even more unusual twist in that one of the exes, Todd Ingram (played by Brandon Routh), is a vegan, which gives him telekinesis powers.

Watch the clip as Ingram throws Pilgrim across a street, smacking him into a building.

This jerky guy even occasionally cheats with dairy.

Some people really need to learn some better conflict/resolution skills.

If you were given superpowers because of your vegan status, you’d surely use them in a more productive, less violent way, like making test tube meat instantly available or turning real meat in faux at the snap of the finger or solving the pet overpopuation crisis.

The vegan violence begins around part 0:48.

As previously mentioned, Brandon Routh is playing Todd Ingram, one of the evil ex boyfriends Scott Pilgrim fights in the movie Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World.

Ingram is a vegan, so it’s hard to imagine him as “evil.”

It was previously thought that Ingram had only vegan mind reading powers, but Routh is now explaining that he’s given telekinetic powers–and smacks Scott around with them.

Here’s Routh explaining a little more about his role:

“I play Todd Ingram in the film. The film stars Michael Cera as Scott Pilgrim, and he has to defeat seven evil exes of Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s character, in order to continue dating her. The seven exes basically challenge Michael, and I play one of them. I’m a vegan rock star with a blonde wig. Because I’m vegan, I have these special powers, the power of telekinesis. So, I end up having this huge bass battle with Michael Cera, as we’re playing dueling bass guitars, and I throw him around telekinetically threw walls and such. And my blonde wig becomes a faux-hawk whenever I use my powers, and then flattens back down when I’m not using them.”

Wouldn’t you love to use telekinetic powers to throw the person who put chicken broth in your restaurant made vegetable soup?
