BlueBoy675 09/27/22 7:56:35 PM #1:	Im sure well get a ton of hot takes here. Ill start off Kick-Ass the movie > Kick-Ass the comic. The comic is one of the most try hard edgy things Ive ever read with no heart or soul behind it. It felt like its only purpose was to be overly violent and cruel with no real message or meaning. The movie, on the other hand, came off almost like a parody of the book and it worked to its benefit. The film actually has fun with the premise and characters while telling a decent story at that. --- Hope rides alone <cite>BlueBoy675 posted [p:968338005] in Adaptation...

I Speaking about comics. Miles Morales in general. For his movie and game , they made him a whole lot better then his comic book character. And lucky that bleed thru.
