After experiencing Kick-Ass I did what most of you are likely to do- headed right to the store and picked up the comic. I’m here to warn you that this is not a good idea.The comic certainly lays down the basic framework of the film and a lot of dialogue and events are the same, but it’s shallow, silly and an altogether disappointing effort. It only makes it more impressive how the filmmakers managed to polish this turd into one of the best action films in years.
Here’s a little list of a few of the changes that have been made in adapting it.
WARNING– massive, massive spoilers to follow. This is more for anyone who’s read the comic who wants to see what’s been changed.
Our hero. Dave (Kick-Ass) is an annoying, dorky kid who becomes a superhero out of wanting to help people and quickly winds up in the hospital. The new metal plates in his skull only help him with future battles, however, and he soon makes a name for himself, bolstered by social media sites and Youtube clips of his fights. Once he becomes this character his head seems to swell with it, until he realizes how unprepared he is for the violence to follow.
In the film-
Kick-Ass not only has metal plates throughout his body from his first fight but nerve damage, which lets him take more pain than he should. It’s a little touch but adds a little more believability to this kid. He obviously doesn’t know how to fight but a spazzy kid who can’t feel anything swirling around batons is clearly something any rational person would want to avoid.
Aaron Johnson is the glue that holds this film together, managing to make him a perfectly likable character. More so in the comic does this character seem to genuinely want to help people. He’s confused about how to do it, sure, but his heart’s in the right place.
Also- he has friends. In the comic they seem to drop off the face of the earth near the beginning of the series here they’re shown throughout, working to constantly ground him from the insanity of his hidden life.
In the comic-
The lead of the Big Daddy/Hit Girl superhero duo, a father/daughter combo that don’t take prisoners and usually go for the jugular quite literally. Big Daddy is a big motherfucker, a complete Frank Castle ripoff in every way. You think he’s a former cop whose wife was killed by a mob boss called Frank D’Amico, forcing him to seek revenge. But in actuality he’s a comic book dork, a former accountant who funds his insane weapon collection by selling back issues of comics. He goes after the mob boss because he wants a villain.
Yep, he is just another asshole. You don’t care about what happens to him or Hit Girl because he brought this on himself. He made his daughter into a monster for no reason whatsoever and deserves everything he gets.
In the film-
He is what he says he is. A former cop was framed got his ass thrown in jail for years. His wife tried to commit suicide with a handful of pills and in her death Hit Girl was born. His former partner (a character absent from the comic) took care of Hit Girl in the meantime and tried to raise her as best he could, but when Big Daddy got out of jail he took her and went into vigilante mode. There’s a great scene Big Daddy meets up with his former partner who is horrified to see how Hit Girl’s chance for a normal childhood has been completely lost. But Big Daddy explains that he didn’t take it away from her- the mob boss did.
While Nic Cage gives a campy Adam West performance inside the suit, moments like this make him oddly believable and sympathetic, and a much more well-rounded character than the comics.
In the comic-
Not a page goes by with some kind of comic or movie reference. Of course, the
basis for the whole story is that regular people are influenced by
superheroes, but by using so much recycled concept and repeated dialogue you
being to grow sick of these shallow people. It’d be like listening to someone who constantly quotes Monty Python and the Holy
Grail– no one likes someone who just parrots jokes.
In the film-
There are plenty of references but on a whole the dialogue is more
original, and has more meaning and substance. Not that there isn’t a
clever use of famous quotes and such when the time calls for it, mind
you… twists on famous Spider-man and Batman quotes are used to incredible effect.
In the comic –
Anyone who’s read a Millar comic has been privy to his casual racism. Kick-Ass is no exception. He drops little lines here and there that should make you sit up and scratch your head. For example, when Kick-Ass first fights the group of thugs in the beginning it’s awesome because he’s fighting Puerto Ricans. The comic needlessly mentions it all the time like a source of pride.
BONUS LAME POP CULTURE REFERENCE!
In the film-
None, thankfully.
In the comic-
It’s one of the goriest comics around. Blood sprays in all sorts of pretty patterns as the superheroes go to work. If there’s one thing Kick-Ass can pride itself on it’s pure, unfettered, mean-spirited violence.
In the film-
It might be even more violent! It’s helped by the fact that Matthew Vaughn knows how to frame action scenes a helluva lot better than Romita Jr. Nothing against the artist’s work but there’s no real sense of movement between panels, no sense of place. The film manages to make each action set-piece top the last, and each is vastly different in terms of style and darkly, darkly funny. Just wait till you see the first person shooter segment…
In the comic-
Kick-Ass pretends to be gay to get close to his crush Katie (something ripped from Mark Millar’s life), who rebukes him when she finds out that he’s been lying this whole time and sends him a picture of her sucking a black guy’s cock.
In the film-
Kick-Ass gets the girl. This will definitely be a source of some debate- of course, audiences want to see our hero get something for all his trouble, so it was likely the best choice, but there’s something to be said for a protagonist with unfulfilled sexual urges driving him on. There’s also something to be said of actress Lyndsy Fonseca.
In the comic-
Kick-Ass’s friends try to popularize their own swear word and settle on “tunk”. It means the whole male area (penis and testicles) and is just as stupid and sad as it sounds. You get to see Hit Girl yelling “TUNK YOU ASSHOLE!” in a later comic in a moment that’s a whole lot dorkier than Millar likely intended.
In the film-
It’s thankfully absent.
In the comic-
Red Mist is a superhero that shows up on the scene soon after Kick-Ass, stealing a lot of his thunder and eventually teaming up with him on a few missions. But he reveals himself as a bad guy- the son of Frank D’Amico, no less- after trapping Kick-Ass along with Big Daddy and Hit Girl. It’s a big reveal at the end of a comic and in the next one we get a big talky “This is why I’m bad!” moment from everyone that brings us up to speed. Red Mist revels in the violence that follows.
In the film-
You know from the very start that Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) is the son of a Frank D’Amico, but here it’s much better shown how much he wants to earn his father’s respect. Red Mist is just another dorky comic-book loving high school kid, which is why his father doesn’t trust him with the business. But Red Mist wants to play with the big boys, so starting up his superhero persona is the way to show his father that he can get things done, and deliver those meddling superheroes to him. It’s an interesting juxtaposition to Kick-Ass. Whereas Kick-Ass is fighting in a scuba outfit purchased online and fighting with some batons, actually getting stuff done in the process; Red Mist is all fluff- fancy cars and smoke and gadgets and even less street smarts.
The thing that makes Mintz-Plasse such a great choice to play him is that he’s not some cool superhero guy- he’s just a scared kid. He’s terrified when he shoots his gun for the first time and the violence that follows is obviously shocking to him. He’s got more obvious motivation than the character in the comics and his downfall is heartbreaking.
In the comic-
The mob boss villain (Frank D’Amico) is hardly shown. Since most of the film is from Kick-Ass’s perspective you don’t know the motivations for this cookie-cutter character. He’s just bad because he’s bad, and his inevitable downfall doesn’t really mean anything because he’s hardly in the comic at all.
In the film-
Two words- Mark. Fucking. Strong.
His Frank D’Amico is menacing in every way. He’s a mob boss businessman who likes to get his hands dirty once in a while, and finds it ridiculous that these costumed do-gooders are ruining his operations. He’s simultaneously scary and hysterical and you understand why he’s so angry about everything.
Plus, he gets in a hand-to-hand fight with an 11 year old girl.
In the comic-
They storm the mob boss’ lair while yelling comic book cliches like “It’s clobbering time!” and fry a whole bunch of them with a flamethrower. It’s over in a couple of pages after lots of death and we watch as Kick-Ass settles back into his crappy life and Hit-Girl reunites with her mom.
In the film-
There is a big reveal that’s hinted at but never shown until the end of the film and oh, no, I’m not going to ruin it for you. Let’s just say that the superheroes are a lot more prepared for their final assault, a whole lot more brutal in the way they handle it. It’s long and satisfying and will make the entire audience stand up and cheer, as they wish for a sequel.

So…referring to Puerto Ricans as Puerto Ricans is racist? Or is it the fact that the bad guys aren't white? I'm confused.
Won't read the article until after I see the movie, but glad everyone says it's WAY better than the comic.
Not read the comic, nor do I plan to. But the movie, while entertaining, isn't quite the smart funny subversie film I thought it was going to be. By the end I felt like I'd pretty much watched a conventional superhero movie, albeit with a bit more violence (although I'm not even sure there was even quite enough of that)
Yeah, the comic wasn't all that. It came off as a half-assed Garth Ennis wannabe.
That's correct #1, if you're stupid… The rest of us read the frame referenced and thought nothing of it. Somebody has a chip on his shoulder…
Mark Strong is a chameleon. One minute he's middle eastern, the next minute he's Stanley Tucci
alex you are entitled to your opinion, as moronic it is, i liked the movie, but the big reveal at the end was ridiculous and badly done, i would rather have seen the comic version,
What exactly was "badly done" about it? I'm not sure why anyone would prefer the comic version- it's just a page or two of Hit Girl slicing people up, which you got anyway.
kind of curious that this article couldnt have been held back a few days until the movie opens…
Dude, the movie isn't out yet. In thwo weeks when I see Kick Ass, I'm going to want to read this artcile and it will be buried deep in CHUD
#10 is right. Why not wait to until the movie is out to publish this? Please reprint this a few days after the release.
It's already out in the UK.
… I was with the film till about the half-way point. I understand that they needed to change certain things to make the story work on screen but the greatest loss for me in the adaptation from page to screen was the change in back-story for big daddy and hit girl.
I must admit that this article does seem somewhat heavy handed in its criticism of the source material and as i stated above, in my opinion, un-fairly so.
The writing on the comic isn't perfect – far from it – but it was nice for once to see a character that didn't get all his dreams fulfilled and then have to carry on regardless.
Oh, and the 'final assault reveal' was such an anti-climax. I was just expecting something a little more gory, and hand-to-hand for all the characters involved and definately not quite so fantastical.
The comic already established quite a fantastic set of circumstances, as did the film and it just felt liked it tipped it over the edge and felt somewhat out of place.
Like the ending to Blades Of Glory…
#10 – Why don't you just bookmark the page?
I love this movie. It's just so damn entertaining. Besides, you've gotta love a movie where Chekov's gun is a fucking bazooka.
Wow, they got rid of everything that sucked! I read through the comic and every time I became the least bit involved with what was going on it would get ruined by one of the things you mentioned. This movie really will Kick-Ass!
This article is a joke. Mark Strong? Dude, he was easily the WORST part of the movie, and I usually dig the guy's work. He's so over the top, his accent is awful, but more than that, ALL the gangster scenes are utterly boring and pointless. Did I mention they were horribly written as well? And it's obvious Big Daddy's cop partner wasn't in the comic cause his presence in the film is forced, and makes no sense whatsoever, considering Nic Cage looked about 30 years older than the dude they cast as his partner. This film is an utter mess, tonally all over the place and only intermittently entertaining, which is a crime considering how long the fuckin' thing feels when you're watching it. Hit Girl was cool, but she wasn't playing a real human being. It's also nice that after getting all his bones broken, Kick-Ass looks exactly the same as before the accident. The movie is a ridiculous fantasy with nothing to do with the real world.
I really liked Johnson's/Dave's aura of optimism and positivity (and how much trouble it got him into). Was the girlfriend civic minded in the comic? Her working at the needle exchange seems to be a particularly important character aspect. @#10: "buried deep in CHUD" – LOL! @#17: Angry outsider much?
If anything, Millar's books are great source material for films because he has great ideas and is a completely incompetent writer. Therefore, changing one thing or everything and keeping the same basic framework actually improves on his efforts. I like this. Most comics suck and aren't worth the paper they're printed on. I hate people who make the 'source material' argument. Why anyone would want to see a comic frame for frame on a screen is beyond me. It's one of the primary reasons why "Sin City" is so fucking boring and ridiculous. The slavish devotion to Miller's godawful dialogue when CLEARLY a re-write was in order was insane. You knew exactly what was going to happen and I really don't understand why the movie even exists when you can just read the comic and spare yourself some of the worst on-screen acting in motion picture history. I go to the movies to be surprised and I like it when things are changed and condensed to fit the new format. I hope Mark Millar keeps pumping out the comics. They may be absolutely painful to read, but they turn into awesome movies. I hope someone picks up "Chosen". Horrible comic, but it was a good idea.
I really didn't understand why he had to get the girl in the movie. One of the best parts of the book was how she just completely blew him off at the end and was upset, just like any other girl might be, because SHE thought he was just acting gay to mess with her, that he was just some sick manipulative fuck. She takes the reveal of both his being Kick-Ass and being straight just WAY too well. At the end of the book though, he's pretty much fulfilled with being a hero and getting Hitgirl straightened out, etc., that he doesn't NEED the girl after all, and he doesn't seem to mind too much. As someone above also said, I was OK with how the movie was going up until the big changes on the middle, like the reveal and Big Daddy's origin change, not to mention the audience being told that Red Mist is a villain right from the start. Not only was the girlfriend's sudden change of heart ridiculous, but it went nowhere after that, her storyline came to a screeching halt, and she just became a worrisome Mary Jane Watson clone after that. If the movie could have retained more of the book's mean-spiritedness, that would have been the place. I thought the movie was fine overall, but Devin's 10 out 0f 10 fellating of it is pretty puzzling, regardless of what you think about any changes from the source material.
For me, the film is an improvement on the book in every way, EXCEPT for the Red Mist reveal. The fact that he's working against them is a cool plot twist. They could have kept this in the film – it would be obvious to us he was D'Amico's son, but if they'd let us think he was rebelling against a distant dad and only at the *end* turned the tables on us, it would've been a great moment. As it was Red Mist just seemed a bit limp.
'whose wife was murdered' – no, she committed suicide due to mounting debts
I think the world would be a better place if comics like this got that Watchmen Motion Comics treatment. Then it'd be a lot easier to see how non-cinematic things are drawn and written or at least give them an alternative from seeing a real movie with real actors that just 'isn't' the comic.
Ebert just reviewed and gave it 1 star!!!.. .Apparently for morality reasons.
Hit-Girl gave him a stiffy.
I have to respectfully disagree with you Alex. I thought that the movie missed the heart of what the comic was about. The comic was written as a satirical subversion of the superhero tropes. While you're reading it, you think that it is going to follow the typical "hero overwhelmingly conquers" route, only to have that subverted at nearly every turn. The movie followed this for the first 20 minutes and then abandoned treating it as a satire and just fully embraced being a super hero action flick. Because of this, I was quite disappointed with the film. I understand that changes will happen in the conversion process, but in this case, I feel that Vaughn and Co. completely missed the heart of the comic and I feel that the movie suffered because of it.
I'm actually starting to think that Devin's right about his whole boring "Fanboys want everything dark dark dark, or it doesn't MEAN anything man!" campaign. The movie is REALLY enjoyable and all I'm seeing in these comments is a desire to create a REALLY dour, Emo, bore of a movie. The guy doesn't get the girl? Yeah…really great time at the movies. And Hit Girl should end up in an insane asylum! I think this movie is maybe a little bit subversive to fanboy expectations, and that's what's burning a few pubes around here.
Comment #27—Kick-Ass NOT getting the girl is actually one of the funnier parts of the book. It's a pretty severe rejection, it's played for laughs, and the hero certainly doesn't get all emo about it. Why don't you at least try to see what we're talking about before you go and say it wouldn't work in a movie. It would work great, and it's just puzzling that they left it out.
Alex, your douchey dismissal of John Romita Jr's artwork is actually offensive. There is no point to this film, other than to be another pandering, mindless superhero movie. Like Wanted, Hollywood has taken another of Millar's one-joke slams on fandom and mainstreamed it into yet another worthless film. Sure it has all the gratuitous and pointless violence someone like you loves, but the film has no point. Hell, Vaughn is such a hack that he steals the scores of other, much better films, but not in an insightful Tarantino-esque manner.
The guy getting the girl was idiotic and the "big finale" was the stupidest thing I've seen on-screen since Terminator Salvation. What a waste of time. The repeated allusions to Taxi Driver and Leon only point out how pointless, heartless, and contrived this entire film is.
The movie is a big improvement over the comic. The comic began promisingly but became increasingly episodic, with serious pacing problems. In contrast, the movie flows thanks to plot-tightening changes like tying Dave's crush to the apartment massacre and tying the team-up fire 'rescue' to the mob boss.
Millar's smartass, anti-heroic subversiveness – which can get the better of him – arguably works in a blackhearted comic book but would just be a joykill in a movie that was entirely faithful to it. Big Daddy as a fraud and Dave getting beat up by the girl's boyfriend (and pathetically masturbating over a photo of her blowing him) would make the movie into a bummer.
Screw fanboy purity. The movie rules. It succeeds where Watchmen, Wanted, Mystery Men, and even, in some ways, Spider-Man and The Dark Knight failed. It's the Robocop or Natural Born Killers of our time.
A direct quote from the comic:
"What works on the page doesn't always work on the screen."
So I pretty much agree with the majority of this review and I think Millar wouldn't have any objections either.
And the big reveal = "Iiiit's turbo time"
No Racism?
I'm sure the fact that all the criminals in the movie are either Italian, Black, or Hispanic is purely coincidental (oh wait, a couple of the early punks are white trash).
It's a very British racism, which is much different than the American sort.
Movie was raped by Hollywood and lost any sense of the cultural reality kids experience in daily life.
Kids know what cocaine is, kids jerk off all the time, kids don't always get the girl. The movie is what the comic is making fun of.
Comic is pretty damn racist though. But that is also a major part of contemporary culture.
Wait… everything you listed about the comic book is supposed to be inferior to the revised storyline thats in the film?
You're an idiot and really have no idea what makes a well-wrought narrative.
The comic book is far superior. Kick-Ass doesn't get the girl, Big Daddy isn't the Punisher -he just wishes he was, Hit-Girl was practically brainwashed from infancy, snorts cocaine as a last resort energy boost to fight the bad guys, and has a terribly unhealthy childhood…
The whole purpose of the Kick-Ass story is to convey the message that real life heroism and vigilantism is not all triumph and glory. It's a delusional pipe dream thats leaves people in ruins. Mark Millar wrote a dark comedy -not an action-packed ultra violent spiderman 4.
Bottom-line, the movie doesn't communicate the central message of the story at all. Hell, the movie doesn't have a central idea to express. Its just a get from point A to point B linear series of fight sequences (which were, indeed, very cool).
Additionally the comic book is not racist, it was simply character development, an honest portrayal of the human mind –this doesn't mean that the things Dave Lizewski says and thinks are right, but its how he and many people perceive the world. Again, thats the whole point of Kick-Ass being this one-off atypical hero. You are all just suburban kids with way too much white man's guilt to even read into sub-contexts.
The movie rewrites the comic book to have the all-too cliche hollywood fantasy of the underdog getting the girl and winning the state championship. Its insulting to think that mass audiences need that happy-go-lucky undertone in all their films.
I'm not saying, Kick-Ass the movie is a bad movie; however, it is dumbed down and rewritten for a younger and simpler audience. They put on the kid gloves -and personally I feel if the movie was more in sync with the comic it would have been a darker and more sophisticated film able to compete with movies like the Dark Knight or Taxi Driver (and still retain its humor).
The action sequences in Kick-Ass were incredible, but don't let that distract you from wanting a solid story.
Kick-Ass had the potential of being much, much more and I find it a shame that many of its fans can't see the room for improvement.
To everyone who gives Millar a pass on his racial references, let me just say that I don't understand why it race constantly has to be a descriptor. Take, for example, when Dave describes the kid whom Katie swaps phone numbers with. Millar writes, "that enormous African-American kid who moved here from New Jersey."
It escapes me why race seems to be a common descriptor for Millar. He uses it often in Wanted, too. Like when he was describing Wesley's boss as "my African-American boss". I mean, why does it even matter? He couldn't have describer her using other adjectives? Puerto Rican thugs. Crazy Armenians who jump off buildings. It's not a big deal. It just sticks out like a sore, pustulent thumb.
We KNOW Millar's an intelligent, talented writer. He chooses his adjectives carefully, like a surgeon. So when he uses racial descriptors, it's not an accident, and neither is it meaningless.
As for the movie being a sanitized version of the comic, I for one appreciate it. I don't appreciate cynicism in my movies. There's far too much of it to go around already. I appreciate redemption. I appreciate purpose. That's probably why Superman still resonates for me a lot. The movie deviated from the comics in thematically critical ways, sure, but I'll take it.
The twist about Big Daddy being an asshole is great in the comics, but honestly, you feel cheated. As fucked up as a father teaching his kid to become a killing machine is, there's a bit of redemptive causality there, and you sympathize with Big Daddy. In the comic, it's just some twisted game. It doesn't make me feel good. Not as a reader, not as a human being. Big Daddy was some sick sonofabitch.
Matthew Vaughn chose to spin the story — and it's still essentially the same story — into a positive one. Super-heroism isn't an entirely valueless proposition. Even Red Mist wasn't a total asshole. He was apologizing to Kick-Ass, whom in the course of their 'team-ups' he realized was a close to a friend as he was going to get. That small character change speaks volumes about how Vaughn sees the world as opposed to Millar. Personally, I like it better.
Fantastic Article – Kick Ass is quite possibly my favourite film of all time, reading the comics afterwards was a let down. The Movie fantastic. Everything you commented on was pretty much what I agree with. Thanks for your effort.
I read the comic first, so maybe it's skewed my view a bit. I'm ok with it not being a faithful adaption, although I think going that route did it more harm than good.
But honestly this might have been the worst movie I've ever seen in my entire life … and I've seen Battlefield Earth.
Everyone who thinks that this terrible movie is somehow better than it's mediocre comic counter part should be chemically castrated so they aren't allowed to reproduce. That's some retarded DNA that we don't need floating around the gene pool.
This might be the worst movie in cinematic history. Poorly acted, poorly directed, poorly shot. It was bad from any angle you want to look at it. What a shame, I had high hopes for it. Fingers crossed that Scott Pilgrim doesn't end up being a huge bomb like this was.
I was a big fan of the source material, and I was disappointed in the movie.
Every point that the article's writer compared, I disagree with. The reveal of Red Mist's identity in the third act isn't the missing element that makes the movie different. It's the complete shift in tone of the character. A comic nerd with an obsession, a hidden coward streak and hints of sadism became McLovin in a costume.
The removal of Big Daddy's real backstory has turned the entire character into a cliche. The point of the comic's satire was to show the reality that would always threaten the fantasy of living out a comic book superhero lifestyle. Two minutes of Nicholas Cage doing the fire dance over an action sequence that resembles the work of Uwe Boll doesn't have the emotional weight of a Michael Bay film, let alone the comic. Big Daddy is an 'asshole' by his own admission. He dies groveling in a pool of his own blood. Choose to be good or bad, mock either and reality is a bitch.
The development of John Genovese aka Frank D'Amico was also lacking. He was portrayed as a comic buffoon too often, and his controversial beating of Hit-Girl pales to the comic scene.
The jetpack was just lame. It's completely unrealistic for a story meant to be grounded in some loose reality.
That's the real problem. Tone.
The comic is meant to be realistic to a certain extent. It is dark, mature and satirical. The movie is lighthearted. Judd Apatow work with small hints of the dark edge that the comic had.
You can't have the cake and eat it too. Jettison this film with a bazooka shell and pick up the comic. Youtube will preserve the only interesting sequence of the movie – 50 whopping seconds of action set to 28 Days Later music.
Cash Moneyman needs to relax! This movie was one of the best movies of the summer! This summer was one of the worst summer movies ever. Only good thing out was Iron Man 2 and Kick Ass. The camera was moving kind of fast, and the Jetpack was something, and explain to me,
How does Kick Ass gets Kate.
But in the end the movie was pretty good. Its better to see the movie first (so that you'll get a sense of surprise) then read the comic like I did.
Shit i loved the comic, but the movie was different but didn't ruin the comic. I think the movie was still great even though it wasn't the same thing as the comics. (unlike Hulk and fantastic 4)
The comic get 9/10
The movie gets 9.1/10
Whatever happened to the star wars kid? Now that guy had the skills to be a super-hero.
Jeez, one mention of Puerto Ricans and everybody starts throwing the R word around. ITS NOT RACIST TO CALL SOMBODY PUERTO RICAN. ITS A FUCKING STATEMENT! LIKE HE LIKES SPORTS OR SHE LIKES TO EAT A BIT TOO MUCH, *Fat cow*
So just get a life and stop going around looking for any shred of "Racism" you can find. Real racism is sombody phoning you with a withheld number and using a soundboard to call you a "Nigger" and a "Wog" and to tell you "Your going to fucking die you coon." Your pathetic.
100% agree, tbh i think the only people who are against this are people who haven't seen the movie, didn't like the movie/ loved the comic and won't accept it. I wish i read this before i ordered a copy. Just finished reading and i'm pissed off.
#41: The problem is that the characters ALWAYS use racial descriptions, even in places where it's not relevant…
The thing is, movie audiences want sympathetic characters. The film shows the "superheroing can really suck' idea while serving it with relatable characters
