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

[@RevolutionaryLoser]

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.

[@guypeate3628]

Character's played by Simon Pegg Shaun Riley - always wearing his work clothes Nicholas Angel - always so uptight and never lightens up Gary King - selfish, immature and never thinks

[@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

[@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.

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

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

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.
