Seriously, all it needs is B.A. refusing to get on a helicopter.
Until I looked up the cast on IMDB I was sure that the bad guy in The Losers was being played by John Shea. Apparently he's actually Jason Patric, which is all well and good I suppose but how much cooler would it have been if the movie had actually been about Uhura recruiting a team led by The Comedian and Captain America to take down Lex Luthor? So much cooler.
Also, the first time I saw The Losers trailer I thought it was a trailer for the A-Team. I'm still not sure I'm wrong.
Changing subjects slightly, I intend to go into Kick Ass with the mindset that it's taking place in the Watchmen 'verse, where Adrian's plan steered the world away from nuclear war but didn't create a utopia. Now kids born long after the Keene act controversy are rediscovering the concept of superheroes and deciding that sounds like the thing to do. Nic Cage dressing alarmingly like Dan in the trailer is doing nothing to dissuade me from this delusion.:) (this partially stems from a RL conversation about what Rorschach would think about the kids in Kick Ass going around heroing. I think he'd be all for it as long as the kids were doing it For Justice and not celebrity. Especially since in the movie timeline he wasn't much older when he got his start --- he's twenty when they take that group picture, after all, and that wasn't his first day on the job. Heck, assuming that Kitty Genovese's murder is still his catalyst (and there's nothing in the movie to suggest otherwise) he could have started as young as fourteen.)
