Red Mist Poster for Kick-Ass

McLovin looks emo. o_o

For comparisons.



So I guess the movie is just abandoning that whole "realism" thing from the get-go.

"And the multiple layers being mist-like only really works if one has a sense of lightness or motion to the layers, which I don't get from what Red Mist wears."

I really can't agree. The costume still goes for something approaching personality, while the movie version, again, screams utter genericness.

But if the ethos is "What non-powered superheroes would really wear in the real world" I think the genericness actually rings a lot truer than "Random people being able to pull together convincing and well fitted superhero gear from scratch, including mask designs which are just as improbable as anything in comics.... oh, apart from things like the custom boots which we'll hope no one notices"
