History Headscratchers / TheWorldsEnd

** The entire point of the movie is that to err is human n' junk. The movie is less about Gary growing up than it is gary moving on from his dwellings on the old days. Even though he's living out a childish fantasy, it seems to make him happy so like yeah. Read the quote from "loaded" on the main page.
** He was moving on and finding his own new glory days, albeit in a childish manner and with [[spoiler: the blanks of his old friends as teens]]. He was making his own happiness rather than trying to revive good times that were long gone
** That confused me too. I'm just taking it as a handwave, as [[spoiler: obviously there isn't as much "growing up" to do when you've effectively ended the world and are living in a wasteland]]. It was the only part of the movie that stuck out like a sore thumb though.
** In this troper's opinion, that was a very deliberate choice with a purpose. Gary overcomes his problem with alcohol, comes to terms with his grown up self (symbolized by his destruction of the young Gary blank), but remains clearly in touch with his past as well. The theme that Gary should grow up was present, but it was not as simple as that. For all his flaws, he had good qualities including his charisma and nostalgia. But again, just this troper's opinion.
** Along with going from alcohol to water, Gary finally learned to care for his friends [[spoiler: even teenage, Blank versions]]. He took them under his wing [[spoiler: and defended them against Blank discrimination in the bar]], when before he didn't care that his friends had been bullied or were unhappy.

** First off, they don't "turn into" Blanks - As evidenced by the scene [[spoiler:in the bunker underneath the World's End]] and [[WeHaveReserves the same Blanks that had been destroyed turning up again]], the Blanks are duplicates. Secondly, at around the fourth pub, [[spoiler:Oliver heads into the Gents on his own - he was replaced when he was away from the rest of the group]].

Did Wright really say this was the last of the Blood and Ice Cream series? I really would like to see more and a 6-year gap between this and Hot Fuzz makes me think it's probably not a permanent decision.
* Wright and Pegg have both referred to this, ''Film/HotFuzz'' and ''Film/ShaunOfTheDead'' as being a trilogy. So I guess it is pretty much done. You can still watch ''Film/{{Paul}}'' as a SpiritualSuccessor though.
* Simon Pegg said he wanted to do a ''Shaun of The Dead'' sequel called ''From Dusk Til Shaun'' where Shaun fights vampires but said it never got past pub talk.

They seem to be offering to kill him and replace him with a younger robot or do they have some kind of BrainUploading technology that will put his mind into a younger body?

The blanks are meant to replace the people they kill but why would you replace an old man with a young looking duplicate?
At one point, the gang point out that one of the blanks is based on a man who is publicly known to have died.

* Simon Peggy said he wanted to do a ''Shaun of The Dead'' sequel called ''From Dusk Til Shaun'' where Shaun fights vampires but said it never got past pub talk.

*** Except that doesn't add up at all. Andy specifically mentions being four times over the limit in December 1997 when they get to the Smokehouse, as well as the several mentions of his being sober for sixteen years, which would put the second pub crawl in 2013, the same year as the movie's release.

** Also, according to the Word of God, when it comes to Gary getting dressed in his old goth clothes, it was like he was a soldier dressing up before committing suicide. So, this troper looking at that, one can assume that Gary's attempt to do the Golden Mile was meant to be another suicide attempt via alcohol poisoning (as at a couple of the bars on the route, he drank more than just one regular pint. He drunk at least a pint and a half at the Famous Cock and about a quarter of a pint before he had to get himself a new one during the Beehive fight). So, by Andy trying to keep Gary from completing the Golden Mile with that last pint, he thereby is trying to keep Gary from killing himself.
