Simon Pegg as Gary King Is Just HILARIOUS! | The World's End | Screen Bites

Simon Pegg as Gary King in The World's End has been one of the biggest success characters of British cinema. Gary is just hilarious, surprisingly heartfelt and the funniest of the Cornetto Trilogy. If you don't trust us, come and see it for yourself!
The World's End (2013) SYNOPSIS: Gary King (Simon Pegg) is an immature 40-year-old who's dying to take another stab at an epic pub-crawl that he last attempted 20 years earlier. He drags his reluctant buddies back to their hometown and sets out for a night of heavy drinking. As they make their way toward their ultimate destination -- the fabled World's End pub -- Gary and his friends attempt to reconcile the past and present. However, the real struggle is for the future when their journey turns into a battle for mankind.

I think what makes him compelling is that Gary is clearly not stupid. He's very quickwitted which makes his struggle to confront his own flaws, of which he is painfully aware of, all the more tragic.

[@Red_Beard2798]

As much as I agree that Gary is hilarious, when the twist comes towards the end, you see that it's literally just a cover Gary uses to cover up his real feelings. All of Simon Pegg's characters in the Cornetto Trilogy have an element of tragedy to them but Gary is easily the most tragic of them all. A liar, self-destructive, addicted, depressed, dismissive, general arsehole and yet HE KNOWS ALL OF THIS THE ENTIRE TIME. He hides his guilt purely with memories and nostalgia and had been doing it since they left school, slowly drifting apart from his friends and ruining his relationship with them to the point he's on his own going to AA and spending his days institutionalised because of his rapidly deteriorating mental state

[@simondaniel4028]

can relate.

[@hambacon559]

That's exactly why this is my favourite Edgar Wright film, and Edgar is my favourite director of all time. Gary is funny and it is fun to watch him but he is so flawed that you sympathize with him and that final scene where he is desperate for that last pint really hits me "It's all I've got".

[@tylerdurden788]

@@hambacon559 been there.

[@Red_Beard2798]

High Definition - It isn't just him breaking up with his partner; it's that he was such a workaholic that he never learnt to build real relationships with people, never had any friends and no-one liked him despite being the best at his job and in fact that was precisely why people disliked him. It's also why the entire town tried to kill him

I like how an alien invasion ended up working out to Gary King’s advantage. It’s funny how society is so harsh for some people that the destruction of it would benefit people like Gary the most.

[@nepntzerZer]

this movie is all about subtle hints...

[@lightschen1644]

You’re right. It even foreshadows this when Gary argues with his friends in the bar before the bathroom android fight starts. The Apocalypse saved Gary because he has nothing to lose and everything to gain. He’s already been separated from society, so a global collapse is less impactful on him than anyone else.

[@Tripp393]

You got it. It’s he that wants the world to end because of how much he hates his life, that’s what the movie is about.

[@paulockenden4278]

The Worlds End is one of the most perfect films ever made. Far superior to the other two films in the Cornetto Trilogy in every way, the depth of layers this film has is the reason for its brilliance. The characters, the story archs they go through are wonderfully done.

[@johnnygrunge477]

Which if you really think about it was probably another of many brilliantly put together subtle foreshadowing bits seeing as Andy was saying before about how Gary goes from ODing and needing to go to hospital one minute to making a miraculous recovery after he crashes and gets arrested and then taken to surgery

[@popshenroin5797]

I honestly can’t decide whether I like Simon Pegg more is the straight man or the crazy man. I mean in both of the other films of the Cornetto trilogy he seems to be the one with the most sense (arguable for Shaun of the dead obviously) but here he is the one that is the crazy in the chaotic in the oblivious to the other people‘s feelings. So I honestly can’t decide which I like more.

[@solcrac9445]

It is my favorite role of his. Part of it is the subversion, yes, but I genuinely think Simon Pegg poured a lot of himself in the character to make him unique and managed to hit on something painfully real. He had huge struggles with depression and alcoholism in the late 00s and early 10s and I think that tinge of real trauma really worked to set Gary King apart and ahead of all his other characters. Imo of course

I personally feel this is how it was done. If you see Gary King was quite similar to Billy Butcher from the Boys except for the comedic parts. Simon Pegg had a major role in helping write The Boys comics and Hughie was inspired by him in the comics. Maybe this was a reference to Billy from the Comics. As The Boys hadn't been created then yet

[@briang.2218]

Possibly used blue screen to edit out the camera thats why the toilet walls are so blue? I could be wrong tho.

Seeing him running around discovering an alien plot in a small town with a fast-talking charismatic mania to him really makes me think Simon Pegg could've been a great Doctor in Doctor Who.
