Kick-Ass (film)/Fridge: Difference between revisions

=== The Film ===

== [[Fridge Brilliance]] ==

** Cage is not only a fan of comic books; ''[[Ghost Rider]]'' is one of his favorites. Enough so that he has a tattoo of the character on his arm. This had to be covered up during the making of the movie to avoid the paradox of his character having a tattoo of his own future self. - [[M King 49001]]

*** Cage is a full-on [[One of Us|comic book geek]]. In addition to the aforementioned facts, he named his son [[Superman|Kal-El]], and according to rumors, the reason he was in Ghost Rider in the first place was that he auditioned for ''every single'' comic book movie he could until someone gave him a role.

 

== [[Fridge Horror]] ==

** Consider the eventual fates of the characters: Dave will likely suffer major PTSD after seeing worse massacres than most soldiers in Vietnam would have encountered, Hit Girl is now without a father or a real purpose in life, Red Mist has lost a father he seemed quite close to and is going to do everything in his considerable power to destroy Kick-Ass, the mob will likely murder Kick-Ass and Hit Girl for killing Frank, and the police will arrest them for the pile of bodies they left behind. Not to mention the power struggle and deaths Frank's demise inevitably will bring about.

** Big Daddy may seem like a hero, but any alternate interpretation can show another side of him: he trained his daughter to become a [[Serial Killer]] to fight his battles for him. Hit-Girl has absolutely no remorse for the innumerable corpses left in her wake. Big Daddy irreparably damaged her to the point where killing is completely natural and even responds with horror if she displays behavior normal for a twelve year old. At least Frank tried not to involve his son in violence. Big Daddy made it her entire life (this is also the major reason why [[Roger Ebert]] [http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100414/reviews/100419986 disliked this movie.])
