  • i actually thought that kickass was really bad just awefull

  • Kick-ass is awesome, dont get why you guys are so down on it. The artwork and dialog is good with a very cool concept, maybe not 'realistic', but to be fair, what happens the first time kick-ass attempts to intervene with a crime? Does he not get beaten within an inch of his life? Just a point, love you guys though!!

  • @mrsticky005 At no point in the video have we said that the formula wasn't successful. What I've been saying is that Kick-Ass was unoriginal, even though it was marketed as 'super-heroes like you've never seen done before.' You can take a plot or device and put a new spin on it. That wasn't the case with this book, IMO. In the end, people read what they wanna read. And as we've already said in previous comments, if this is what fanboys want, it's what they deserve. Elliott

  • @comicculturewarrior Well then there you go. It works for others. Marketable comics aren't always the best comics and the best comics aren't always marketable. Formula isn't so much a bad thing. They use formula because it works. Perhaps not all the time and not for everyone. It's likely one of your favorite comics uses some kind of formula used before. You just don't think about it because you consider the comic good. Literature itself has a formula with

    exposition ,climax ,and denouement.

  • @mrsticky005 well then excuse me if I take issue with someone trying to sell me something 'new' when it is, in fact, a formula. That may work for many, but not for me.

  • @comicculturewarrior

    Not quite. Ideas that sold in the past are more likely to sell again than new ideas.

    Hence why Hollywood is often formulaic, they use the formula because it worked.

    With production costs factor in, old ideas are a safer and less risky investment.

  • I agree with them completely that Kick-Ass has nothing realistic about it. They should check out The Shades if they want hyper-realistic superhero action. It was fantastic.

  • The Kick-Ass comic was a dark action story. The movie was more like an action-dramedy. Jet pack ruined it.

  • @mrsticky005 How about producing something that is actually new and original? That's going to help sale too, isn't it? Elliott
