What film/comic had the best deconstruction of the idea of the superheroes in the real world?
None of them. Each are written by hacks who can't stand people enjoying things so have to make it 'gritty. real. edgy' or some other grim derp nonsense
Spinnerette. Not a competition.
Kick ass seem to have more fun with it's premise so I say them >>150177903First time I have seen someone describe kick ass as Grim Dark
Finally.. characters he can defeat.
>>150177917>First time I have seen someone describe kick ass as Grim DarkGrim derp is not Grim Dark.
>>150177917Well, since OP said the comic is allowed
>>150178003CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWLING IN MY CRAWL...
>>150177883.
>>150178087>rick and morty shit
Incredibles >butunironically, no further questions
>>150178105upvote
>>150178116That seems to play the tropes straight rather than deconstruct them though.
>>150177883Unbreakable.
>>150177883I would say watchmen, but even minus Manhattan, Ozymandias' super-science is fairly exotic
>>150178534There would be no super-science without Manhattan.
Samurai Flamenco, cause all western capeshit is trash, even the subversive trash. >rip manglobe
>>150177883Capeshit is so shit even the stuff making fun of it is shit
>>150177883No one ever talks about James Gunn's Super and it pisses me off because it's fucking great. I wouldn't sell it as a superhero deconstruction but I love it as an unconventional anti-hero movie and a character study into the mind of a genuinely disturbed but morally driven individual. I love how the tone evolves throughout the film, how silly the character's choices are but the real weight and cost those choices end up having. I love how morally grey the ending is. I love the score. Seriously, Super is the most SOVLFUL thing James Gunn has ever made. If anyone reading this hasn't seen it and might be interested, give the movie a shot. It's a weird, unconventional movie with strange choices but you can feel the passion that went into it.
>>150177883Super had Kevin Bacon and stayed grounded. Kickass ends with him flying using a jet pack that magically disappears for the second movie. I feel like Super is the better written movie but the more fun ride is Kickass.
either Birdman or Mystery Men.
>>150180003But Birdman is not even about superheroes?
>>150180243OP didn't ask for a movie about superheroes, he asked for movies that deconstruct the idea of superheroes. Birdman does that brilliantly.
>>150180296Kinda birdman deconstructed the industry more. Not saying that’s bad I love the movie but it wasn’t about superhero’s themselves.
>>150179908Pulling it up right now
>>150177883Superheroes?
>>150178015wait until you find out about IRL child murder
>>150177883Personally I find Super more fun
>>150177883Super is a more realistic take than Kick-Ass, but both were fun.I know kept telling myself I'd watch Special, because I liked the trailer, but I felt like it gave away the entire plot, so I didn't bother. Although it's probably not really a deconstruction of the superhero genre either.
>>150177917I agree. Kick Ass was gay faggy
>>150181616Yes, heroes that are super.
>>150177883Kick-Ass was like the edgy blog of some lame superhero fanboySuper was more finding a random crazy persons manifesto
>>150181631What kind of 'comeback' is this
>>150178130deconstructive elements does naughta deconstruction make
>that gorgeous animated opening by PUNY >the car-touching scene >Linda Cardellini Most I'd ever seen of Super were those cartoon YT shorts I watched out of context a decade back, but I'm already in love with this source material. I hate that James Gunn always delivers, I don't like adding to that dude's ego but he don't miss
