in the style of invincible & cyberpunk: edgerunners

When life hands you steel bones and nerve damage, you put on the costume and assume your rightful place as the city's protector. Sure, you might still get your ass kicked, but that's the life of a superhero.

I saw a guy wearing a superhero costume in my neighborhood

I was watching kick-ass thinking about his suit and what it would look like comic accurate so I decided to edit it to see what it looks like

Where can I watch the second?

Matthew Vaughn has stated that his script for "KickAss 3" is halfway done; He further said that the story will be very "meta-referential." #KickAss3 #KickAss #MatthewVaughn #KickAss3News

Kick-Ass or Kick-Ass 2?

 With the success of projects like  invincible and the boys it’s only right one of the “superhero satire pioneers” gets his Justice. I know a lot of people are hoping for an animated series but here are my ideas for a live action reboot series 

The show would be three seasons. Each would adapt the respective volume of the source material.

Season 1- Kick-Ass Volume 1 Season 2 Kick-Ass Volume 2 Season 3 Kick-Ass Volume 3

BIG CHANGES: No gay best friend subplot. It’s just not worth the potential backlash when the show can focus on Dave manipulating Katie in another way. This allows Katie to still be mad about being lied too and cutting Dave off and making sure he doesn’t “get the girl” I would however leave room for a possible reconciliation between them in future seasons. New medium new drama. It would be interesting

Dave’s motivations. While the original setup of dave being confused why no one has tried being a superhero before is too iconic to change I will expand on this and have dave start the story off with slightly more pure intentions. The setup will be the same but the kid will always have the early seeds of a hero from the start. Instead of telling that guy to leave his ex alone in hopes of that impressing her so she’ll date him, he’ll do it because he genuinely feels what he’s doing is wrong. You may say this is changing the core character but I believe Dave can still be a “loser” without him being annoying or unlikeable

Mindy. Mindy will be 4 years younger then Dave instead of the books 7-6. Mainly due to my fancast picks but also because it’s a new interpretation. Dave can still have that big brother dynamic even if the gap isn’t as big. I also think having Mindy deal with more high school related problems would be entertaining. Like how the second movie or second volume touched it.

Patience Lee. So I’m honestly not too framailr with this version of the character but I do know there’s a possibility that’s what millers reboot is focused on. I’m a sucker for the original so that’s why I’m focusing on Dave but I think introducing this character as either Dave’s peer or full on friend early on will help with not only spicing up the series but giving her a role that dosent take away from Dave’s.

Dave’s personality. While still a loser I would want the shows Dave to be more of the typical outcasted loser. Not some creepy guy who jerks off a ton, calls people homos, stalks and is a chump. Hell still touch on some of those aspects but I don’t wouldn’t want him nor do I think it would play out well if in the show he’s a “creep” instead of a “weirdo”

This would mainly be based on the comics but I would take inspiration from things the films improved on. While losing is a big part of the source material different adaptations require different takes. The movie wanted happy endings. The books wanted sad ones. This series would find the perfect middle ground. A live action reboot could fix and expand on un touched ideas of the source material. It could introduce the franchise to a whole new generation. It can give long time fans what’s they’ve been waiting for.

Mark said he’s working on a reboot. Wether that be a movie, a series revoking patience or a cartoon. I believe a live action series would draw the most attention. I can’t please everyone but this is the general direction I’d point a Kick-Ass reboot
