Mark Olsen of the Los Angeles Times said "Kick-Ass 2 is a lesser version of what it appears to be, an uncertain jumble rather than a true exploration of outrage, violence and identity." Olsen found Hit-Girl dealing with ordinary life more interesting than Kick-Ass trying to be a superhero, but feels the story is marred by bad jokes about bodily functions. He criticized Taylor-Johnson's performance as "a charisma-free zone".[34] Manohla Dargis of The New York Times said "There isn't anything good to say about Kick-Ass 2, the even more witless, mirthless follow-up to Kick-Ass." Dargis further criticized the misogyny and the poorly delivered jokes, as well as the director's failure to grasp the terrible beauty of violent imagery.[35] PopMatters said "Like the age old admonition that too many cooks spoil the broth, Kick-Ass 2 suffers from having too many characters and not enough time to deal with them all." Gibron wishes there had been more time to explore the supporting characters, like Mother Russia. He notes the echoes of Carrie White in the Hit-Girl high school sequences. He suggests a Hit-Girl film would be preferable to "limp, unlikable results offered [by this film]".[36]

Think Big and Kick Ass emphasizes the importance of maintaining large goals for oneself.[27] Trump elaborates on his think big thesis, saying bravado and playing to people's fantasies can excite people who do not think big themselves.[28] He advises budding business careerists to have an optimistic outlook,[29][30] crediting his positive attitude for his success.[30] Because those who seek out their passions in life will find financial success,[31] he tells readers to devote two hours a day focusing on how to generate money.[32] The book talks about the importance of concentration on the task at hand, but cautions against narrow-mindedness and inflexibility.[33] Trump describes his expectations of loyalty from his employees, writing, "I try to hire people who are honest and loyal. ... I put the people who are loyal to me on a high pedestal and take care of them very well. I go out of my way for the people who were loyal to me in bad times."[22][34] Trump cites Hillary Clinton as an example of an individual with "the ability to think big".[4] He warns about repercussions for disloyalty, saying a lack of respect will lead to struggles.[35]
As a single person who has lived in this city for a short time, I love the opportunity to meet cool people from many walks of life. At the last tropical themed potluck party that I hosted, I met someone who used to be personal secretary to the Prince of Dubai!
But at the same time, you want a balanced life with time for the things you really want to do with a full and interesting social life. Of course, you want to have clarity about your career and job duties, and you want to continue to be healthy, fit, and stress-free.
While Hit-Girl's death/survival is a fun final joke based on the event's time travel premise, the character deserved a lot better. It's not yet clear which Hit-Girl died - the time-traveling savior or the new timeline's Mindy - but either way it's a true tragedy, and could even be described as the Millarverse breaking its own narrative rules. Hit-Girl is the most competent killer on the heroes' side, hence why she's able to escape through time and bring down the Fraternity. However, this also means that having her be the only major fatality in the grand hero vs villain battle is a betrayal of how she's been portrayed in every other appearance. Taken by itself, it's a cheap death for an ultra-skilled hero who has spent a lifetime honing her abilities.
Big Game pulled every comic under Millarverse's umbrella together in a huge confrontation pitting heroes against villains. While the series killed off many heroes over its run, Hit-Girl's time travel mission means she's the only victim by the time of its conclusion. For casual fans, very little just changed, and Hit-Girl will likely return in future stories. However, for those who have been following Hit-Girl since 2008's Kick-Ass #1, it's a grim way for Mindy to lose her life, especially as she's immediately replaced with so little fanfare.
Madame Sul-Te-Wan is the FIRST Black actor to sign a film contract, anytime, anywhere. She used her winning placement in a Louisville dance competition to gain regional recognition, and in the late 1890s, when Madame was in her 20s, she formed her own theatrical companies to tour the East Coast. Soon after, she went out to California to be part of the emergent film community. She signed her first paid movie deal (and first paid film work for any Black actor) for her role in Birth of a Nation, having pitched herself directly to D.W. Griffith. Griffith and Hollywood insiders were taken by Madame's charisma and talent which carried her through 63 films in her 4-decade film acting career.
