Kick-Ass (spoilers)

I'm not sure how to respond to this. It's a superhero movie, not Mean Girls.

Yeah, I hear you keep saying that, and believe me, I know what you're getting at. I think it's the very context you're citing that added to what I don't like about the movie. I suppose alone the costume wouldn't be that bad, but I can't separate it from the very adult killing and language she was using, too. I guess I don't see "superhero" as a good enough excuse for black shiny leather--which to me associates less with "superhero" (outside of the X-Men movie franchise) and more with sex.

Wait, who thinks Hit Girl's costume is sexy? And why aren't they having a seat over there?

Okay, look. http://tengossip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/hit-girl.jpg - there's the costume in question, literally posed with spread legs. I have no idea what you'd consider sexualized or sexy about this. The "tight leather" which is neither leather nor, as the wrinkles show, all that tight?

I don't know, man. You're not babysitting my kids.

Yeah, I was puzzled by those comments. I found nothing sexual or sexualized in that costume, so I have to wonder if some people still here have more in common with Iaculus or Icarus, whichever it was, than was previously believed.

Now, now, calm down. Fade's opinion is his own and he has a daughter so I'm not going to even consider that it's appropriate for you to say something like that to him.

Your analysis of the costume however, as mine was on the previous page with a picture, is right. I don't understand how anyone could find anything even remotely sexualized about that costume. Unless everything made of "leather" is sexual to someone.

It is.

I keep looking at the costume, trying to see Fade's point of view, and I don't. Even on an adult woman (there is plenty of cosplay), the outfit isn't sexual. It's just there.
