Red Mist Poster for Kick-Ass

[theanswer]

McLovin looks emo. o_o

For comparisons.



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

I'm torn. I like the bodysuit better in the poster, but the masks.... not trying, are we.

What particular realism do you see in the comic?

Given the real world's easy access to designer leatherwear (and the variety of esoteric gear available from specialist shops), I don't see anything particularly unrealistic about the movie Red Mist.

I prefer the movie's design . . . the comic one was too much red, imo.

Am I the only one who thinks that Red Mist looks like Ben Stiller?

I'm really looking forward to the movie. It looks like cracky goodness.

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

The specific note of realism that the movie version seems to miss is "handmade." The comic version looks handmade.

It also fits the name "Red Mist" better, to me.

Having not read the series how would others compare this to Millar's other works?

Robin's in this movie, now?! Awesome!

Still, I have some hopes for this movie. Wanted as a comic was a piece of putrid garbage that I swear was written by a twelve year old. Yet, the movie was a lot of fun. Not great, but for a big dumb action flick, it was fun.

Kick-Ass as a comic? Same thing. The movie? Welllll, we'll see.

Aren't there only, like, 8 issues of Kick-Ass? How on earth is there a movie? It would have had to be developed BEFORE the comic came out. Or is the comic just lead up to the film?

McLovin looks like Rufio.

Yup. Forget powers, forget morals, forget justice. All that matters, all that matters, is how much ass you can kick.

Remember when comics were made solely for adolescent boys (of all ages)?
Mark Millar does.
