4. Dave Gets The Girl - Kick-Ass
The original comic for Kick-Ass has Dave pining after his schoolmate Katie just as in the movie, pretending to be gay so that he can get close to her, and when she finds this out, she flips out, getting her boyfriend to kick his ass, before she then sends Dave a picture of her giving the guy a blowjob. The whole point is that Dave's extremely creepy behaviour isn't rewarded, and this makes sense given how damn
sleazy it is, yet in the movie, Katie ends up quickly forgiving him, and becoming his girlfriend. The comic is more subversively satirical than the movie, and Dave is painted as a more interesting, less likable character, a loser whose skin is saved by Hit Girl. The movie, through virtue of not wanting to alienate its audience, opts for something a little more friendly, but a lot less challenging and intelligent. They awkwardly then attempted to remedy this in the second movie, by having Katie suddenly dump Dave for suspecting him of sleeping with Hit Girl.
