Kick-Ass 2: 10 Things You Might Have Missed

10. Costume Changes

Costume It€™s a sort of minor plot point that Kick-Ass takes on Big Daddy€™s armour for the final fight (which makes a lot of sense really - a wetsuit was never a great idea) and there€™s a lot of jokes made about The Motherf*cker€™s bondage suit, but Dave and Chris aren't the only character to have a costume change from the original. The changes to Hit Girl€™s costume don€™t really affect the overall aesthetic, but are pretty significant. She€™s lost the chequered skirt she had before, as well as the borderline iconic yellow grenade in favour of shoulder pads and a flashier cape. Most interesting, however, is her mask. The cloth always looked a bit silly in Kick-Ass - a little too amateurish for the spawn of Big Daddy - so her she gets fully face moulded upgrade. How she managed to order it is a question up there with why did the Kick-Ass costume come with a mask, but it€™s a welcome change that helps reaffirm her bad-ass nature. I was also surprised little was made of how little was made of Todd€™s costume being an identical opposite to Dave€™s. It€™s obvious and I'm sure you all got it, but the script missed a trick by not having Marty pass comment on it.
