In the comic, he was just an emo kid that liked comic books. He said the right ingredients for being a hero was "Loneliness and despair" and changed it to something like "Hopefulness and optimism" Big Daddy went from some accountant who ran off with his kid and paid for their exploits with his comics collection to some ex cop framed for a crime. He gave Hitgirl some cocaine, too. In fact, they reavealed Red Mist as a villain right off the bat instead of the surprise reveal almost at the end of the first story. They did some "Let's kill him over the internet" thing instead of shooting Big Daddy in the head and letting Kick-Ass plan his own escape. I can't remember ever being more pissed with a comics movie than with the changes they made to Kick-Ass! But, upon repeated viewings, that film was decent. Lost its dark gritty edge for something mainstream and light hearted. I guess that's what comics have to do these days to please their audience. Just leave the gritty source material behind and dumb things down. |
@Bolded: Considering how many people had a hard time keeping up with what was going on in BvS, I'm inclined to agree.
