Fine. Look. Here is my concern: it isn’t with this movie itself, which looks perfectly “subversive” and like a real “roaring chuckletrain” or whatever those movie quotes said, but between this and Kick-Ass and Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World and that terrible looking movie with Ryan Reynolds, I’m just starting to worry that people are going to forget what REAL FUCKING SUPERHEROES are. People making their own costumes in the basement on their mom’s sewing machine late at night after their shift at the medical records library is all well and good, but how many times do we need to turn this genre on its head before we get back to ACTUAL WONDERFUL HEROES WHO CAN RUN SHIT? Do you know what I mean? Nerds, please tell me that you know what I mean. I’m counting on you, nerds!

  1. Shut up, crime!

  2. An ordinary man can’t be a superhero- Gabe
    Counterpoint

  3. Guys, I’m worried about Nathan Fillion.

  4. Do you think he dyed his costume using beet juice?

  5. Hollywood:
    “I’ve got an idea. How about we make an original movie for actual grown-up adults? Intelligent ones, even!”
    “You’re fucking fired.”

  6. Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see.

  7. Ugh. No more superhero movies please. And this is coming from a guy who’s been reading comics all his life and has Spider Man tattooed on his body TWICE. Seriously, give it up. For at least a decade or so. Allow people enough time to wash Ghost Rider, Daredevil, Superman Returns, Elektra, two Punisher movies, Constantine, LXG, etc. off their brains before you start making new terrible “real life” super hero crap.

    Oh yeah, and Kick Ass blows.

  8. I must admit that Ellen Page bitch looks mad cute in that costume. Meerroorrww

  9. i just don’t see anyone putting that much effort into something with their motivation being Liv Tyler.

  10. Needs more chainsaws.

  11. white and purple, white and purple, white and purple, white and purple.

  12. SUPERHEROES ARE TEOPLE POO GABE. Also, i’m NOT seeing this movie.

  13. In the realm of “I’m taking this too seriously,” I’m going to have to ask you to leave Scott Pilgrim out of this. kthxbai.

  14. Wait one minute here. Did I see what I think I just saw at the end of that trailer?

    NATHAN FILLION… PORTRAYING SOME SORT OF SUPERHERO?!?!?!

    Sorry, I just don’t buy it.

  15. Why is it in a film about a superhero I think the least believable thing is that Rainn Wilson could ever be ith Liv Tyler?

  16. “from the lunatic that directed slither” lol i loved that movie

  17. How is this not “Kick-ass?” Because you be comfortable wanting to fuck the ingénue perpetrating killer head shots and ending lives, broski?

  18. Complain all you want, this looks great.

  19. I hear what you’re saying about REAL superheroes. What until I finish my screenplay about a guy who can talk to marsupials. It’s called “The Pouch.” And yes, he’s a male marsupial with a pouch, because shut up. It’s just a movie!

  20. The great thing was James Gunn has already done the superheroes as people thing in a great movie with a hilariously unlikely cast called The Specials that was great and that no one saw. Netflix them shits.

  21. i remember when this was called “defendor” and i wasnt interested http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1303828/
    i also remember when this was call “special” and i was http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0479162/
    i mean, jesus christ, i expected superhero movie fatigue this year but not “normal guy in bad cosplay with extreme violence” superhero fatigue
