Kick-Ass (film)/YMMV

YMMVs for the comics:

 * Complete Monster:
 * Crowning Moment of Awesome: The end of the second series.
 * Memetic Mutation: The fruit of David's efforts to rescue people? People cosplaying as superheroes and taking pictures of themselves, which now goes past the hardcore geeks and to everyday people. Plus, a whole bunch of them actually start training to be superheroes like Kick-Ass, Big-Daddy and Hit-Girl.
 * Also, "Tunk," the new swear word that Dave's friends made up (basically the male equivalent of Cunt) catches on unbelievably fast.
 * Moral Event Horizon:
 * Also . This is one point where a decent amount of people seem to prefer the film version of the character over the comic due to the absence of this.
 * Stoic Woobie: Big Daddy and Hit Girl..
 * Stupid Evil: Red Mist as The Motherfucker, to the point that he alienates all the gangsters and dirty cops working for him due to his pointless acts of villainy.
 * Tear Jerker:
 * Tear Jerker:


 * What an Idiot!: Pointed out by Kick-Ass in Volume 2,

YMMVs for the film:

 * Breakout Character: Hit-Girl seems to be the most popular character of the movie.
 * Complete Monster: Frank D'Amico has very few redeeming features. It could be argued that his interaction with Chris and what there is of the wife is a weak Pet the Dog moment, and that even for Chris, he's doing it to weed out Kick-Ass and not because he's supporting his son. His Crowning Moment of Evil comes when he murders an innocent bystander who witnessed him beat and shoot someone he . Admittedly, someone dressed as Kick-Ass.
 * Also his great idea of fun is.
 * Crazy Awesome: Hit Girl, Big Daddy, Frank D'Amico and Kick-Ass himself, for, you know, beating the living manshit out of people while wearing scuba gear.
 * Crosses the Line Twice: A lot more than twice actually. Single scene example: Dave gets stabbed in the gut. The audience winces. He then staggers out into the street and gets flipped by a car. The audience starts laughing.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Hit-Girl
 * HSQ:
 * Hit Girl's first fight to the Banana Splits song is pretty high up on the Quotient.
 * All the time from when Hit Girl enters D'Amico's stronghold and ends when
 * It Was His Sled:
 * Jerkass Woobie: Big Daddy/Damon McCready
 * Memetic Mutation: The scene of Big Daddy testing the bulletproof vest on Hit-Girl became a popular staple of meme comics because of how disturbing it is out of context.
 * Moral Event Horizon: D'Amico is most firmly established as a complete psycho-ass when he finds out Kick-Ass had nothing to do with his plans getting ruined but still insisted on him being . The sheer look of sadistic pleasure on his face and the disgusted look Chris gives him when they're both watching it said volumes about what a Complete Monster he was.
 * What an Idiot!: For the Armenian Kid With A History Of Mental Issues, there's no way wings that size could generate enough lift to allow a person to fly.
 * What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?: While the theatrical trailers for the film show plenty of foul language, violence, and countless other clues that this is not a kid's film, the television trailers are censored. Because of the young ages of the superheroes, there's a chance some parents may get a nasty surprise if they took their child to see it. Of course, since the title of the movie is Kick-Ass, they'd sort of deserve what they got if they did that, especially since the movie is rated R.
