So Matthew Vaughn General?

>>69150957
naw man, that was like the best scene with cage.
>>
>>69150953
He was literally the only good thing about the movie. The lack of Cage was a large part of the reason the sequel was so shit. Jim Carrey was not a suitable replacement.
>>
>>69150957
The first 2/3rds of Kick-Ass is genuinely great. Cage was perfect.

still, not meaning what you think it means. To parody you already have to become that thing.

You cannot parody country music by doing dubstep electro.

The idiots here would call that a parody.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZQw-1hzxqk

This song become the thing it was parodying.

That's how you do a parody?

This is just the example of the Scary Movie people that don't understand you can be the thing you're parodying. You don't have to be a campy c-movie to parody horror.

If you watched Space Balls it was still a good sci-fi movie.

Kick Ass was never a Parody, neither was Kingsmen or Watchmen. They were just a different direction of something.... they were never trying to be a different genre like Scary Movie.

Scarey movie is the worse thing to happen to the art of Parody. Unless you're weird all doing a Polka cover of a song, he still does the genre he's parodying.

That's what parody is.

shooting the main guy out the window with a rocket launcher....

yeah..... why couldn't they just realize each other moms had the same name.
>>
>>69151667
I did like that bit, but the jetpack was so dumb, as well as Chloe somehow beating a dozen guys with guns in head-on. Using stealth, deception, or fighting unarmed thugs is fine, but not men ready to shoot to kill.
>>
>>69151667
They even built up to that with the guy wanting to use the rocket launcher before then and shit.

Maybe clumsy dialogue but that was sort of what they were going for.

big daddy & hit-girl origins prequel starring nicholas cage and some 10 y.o. qt when?

chloe could have a cameo as a street hooker or something.
>>
>>69151694

Yeah... that's the dumbest thing I've heard. Shit wasn't real because the hero didn't get shot like a bitch.

this literally applies to every action movie ever made. Maybe stick with documentaries. Action genre is a bit too advanced with you.

Have you seen When the Lion Roars? Patrick Stewart.
>>
>>69151694

Chloe gained the spirit of Big Daddy and her power level shot up to 50 men tier

I'd say Kick-Ass borders on this, but it still retains a level of ridiculousness that doesn't take itself seriously.

Kick-Ass 2 on the other hand is literally what it's parodying, without question.

>>69151784
Or she was training since birth to do that, and kids have a quick reflex brain then adults, actually making them pretty fucking terrifying.

only say this because high actions/second gamers have a peak at age 14.

Roger Ebert was an overrated hack that originally gave Terminator Salvation a rave review, until his fans tore him a new asshole ... then he changed his review.

No it isn't. It's an okay, nicely edgy film. Gunn made a better work with GOTG.

Thats the thing. I thought it was a fun movie with a fantastic soundtrack, but the entire time I was watching I couldn't tell if it was being hypocritical on purpose.
Frank's whole point is that people have become dicks, uncaring of those around them, and yet he does the same exact thing. They complain about the edgy, and yet thats what this entire movie is.
Not only that, but the girl in the movie is exactly what the Frank hates, someone who goes around and hurts people because of their beliefs. She is, at her base, the mean that Frank is fighting. The only difference is that she wants to be niche. In all reality the only reason the two get along is because they are alone.
I'd love to give the writers credit and say this was all on purpose, and if it was it would be a great movie, but I don't know if thats really what was going on here.
Either way I enjoyed it for what it was.
