Kick-Ass (film)/WMG

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Big Daddy is Lt. Terrence McDonagh from Bad Lieutenant Port of Call New Orleans.

Both Big Daddy and Terrence are played by Nicolas Cage, Terrence was a coke-addict whereas Big Daddy was framed for having coke (Or is it?), both wives was expecting, and both were cops. A big reason why this WMG was made is to reassure people who were pissed off at the ending to Bad Lieutenant can be relieved that Terrence's life backfired on him and that they get a chance to see him burn.

Dave is narrating the story from beyond the grave and most of the movie was over-glorified and/or made up

Something this troper noticed was how the last act of the movie (in particular the jetpack scene) didn't seem to fit as the ending seemed to not be based in reality while the rest of the film was. Upon the first viewing, this troper was ultimately turned off by said scene. Upon second viewing though, the line in which Dave states to the audience ("And if you're reassuring yourself that I'm going to make it through this since I'm talking to you now, quit being such a smart-ass! Hell dude, you never seen "Sin City"? "Sunset Boulevard"? "American Beauty"?) showed another perspective.

Instead of just Big Daddy dying, Kick-Ass/Dave also died and he's been telling us the story, but possibly not the truth. Most likely, the events before Kick-Ass's death were all true. But, seeing how boring the truth was and considering his reasons for becoming Kick-Ass (life of excitement, tired of being unnoticed), he decided to spice up the story and also make up an ending where he comes off as the valiant hero. Thus, Dave added details, such as the jetpack, and Hit-Girl rescuing him. He also exaggerated certain details of the story, such as his relationship with Katie, the positive changes his father noticed, and most of the details surrounding Hit-Girl.

  • I would say he already died during his first mission when the bullies stabbed him and he laid on the street. That scene felt unnormally like Killed Off for Real.

Mindy is a Little Sister.

Big Daddy is an interpretation of what, well, Big Daddies would be like if they were capable of normal communication-turning their Sisters into defenders themselves. It would also make sense considering Hit-Girl's...uncanny cheerfulness in the face of violence and murder. She's conditioned to see everything as innocent and idealized, and has no idea how disturbing everything she's taken part in really is.

Alternately, she's since been rescued and adopted by Damon, who took up the alias "Big Daddy" ironically when he swore to protect her.

Kick-Ass is the origin of the world of Mystery Men

Champion City visibly takes place in the near future, superheroes have little by the way of actual powers if any at all and aside from one or two big names are generally seen as little more than a bizarre but altruistic subculture...just like the one the news reports at the end of Kick-Ass say has been started.

At some point in Kick-Ass 2, Dave will get kicked in the nuts

And he'll shrug it off, saying "There's not much more damage that someone can do to those."

Big Daddy is actually a SOLDAT

And Hit Girl is an inner tree who may become Noir.

the Kick-Ass movie and the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie share the same universe.

Mindy changes her name to Angie and takes over the school newspaper.

Hit-Girl is Asuka from an Alternate Universe

Mindy, at least in the movie, has red-ish hair and, like, Asuka, she's hotblooded, badass, and they both are somewhat tsundere.

Hit-Girl grows up to be the Bride
