Kick-Ass 2 has that, especially in Hit-Girl. The exceptions here are Donald Faison’s excellent appearance as Doctor Gravity-a care-free, squeaky-clean hero-and Carrey’s hilariously executed take on an ass-kicking Colonel who is serious about his team never using the Lord’s name in vain.Ĭontroversy aside, you don’t get Millar-level recognition without some decent storytelling. Luckily, there’s plenty of comic relief peppered in to keep the mood from approaching too dark, but in line with the new tone of the movie, the jokes are filthier as evidenced by the wealth of C-bombs dropped in the sequel. Chris Genovese, played by Christopher Mintz-Plasse, picks up his dead mother’s bondage gear (and a, er, beady surprise) as inspiration for his new supervillain, morphing from the unreliable Red Mist semi-hero to a new, past-repair character dubbed The Motherfucker. Dave is quickly served with a nasty breakup from Katie, who gives a not-so-graphic nod to the comic’s original ending after seeing what she thinks is him flirting with Mindy. We know we’re in for a different kind of ride early on, where it’s almost like the Kick-Ass 2 team-led by writer/director Jeff Wadlow ( Cry_Wolf), who takes over for Matthew Vaughn-doubles back from where they left off on the first installment, ripping away the safeguards from volume one’s jagged edges. Carrey made a pre-press cycle decision not to support the film based on its violent content, citing recent tragedies like Sandy Hook as reason enough not to celebrate body counts. The film’s biggest name plays Colonel Stars and Stripes, a born-again Christian, ex-military type who wrangles together a Justice League/Avengers-style group of DIY heroes called Justice Forever.
KICK ASS 2 GIRL SERIES
But with the film’s sequel, Lizewski and Mindy Macready (better known as Hit-Girl) both see that gap draw a little closer to the rougher paper version of Kick-Ass, a series created by Eisner nominee Mark Millar that boasts covers with tags like “Sickening Violence: Just the Way You Like It!” “Ass Kicked!” and “When Titans Pimp-Slap!”Īudiences were already primed for something more extreme than the original, simply based on a stand made by Jim Carrey. At least he still had his adoring fans of Kick-Ass.įor readers and viewers alike, it’s the best example of the split between Kick-Ass: The Comic and Kick-Ass: The Screen Adaptation Made to Please Hopefully More People than Comic Readers. It’s a pretty grim ending, but the comic doesn’t end there: Dave receives a text message from Katie that shows her performing oral sex on her boyfriend, and because he is equally sad and turned on, both emotions take over. In the book, our lead character gets a slug to the face by his crush’s boyfriend after starting a misleading relationship as Katie’s “gay” confidante. In the film, our lead character gets the girl, Katie Deauxma, after a jet-fueled victory. There’s a big split in the way the first Kick-Ass ends between the comic and film, mainly in the romantic realm of our hero, Dave Lizewski.
