One would reasonably expect that a movie called Kick-Ass is not seeking to go in line with certain social graces. And the first trailer for the film featured a good deal of swearing, blood, and other things to make Helen Lovejoy throw up her hands and cry for someone to think of the children. Well, now parents don’t have to worry about the promotional material for Kick-Ass 2 corrupting their darlings, because a green band trailer has been released. There’s still the glamorization of vigilantism and a dog feasting on a man’s genitalia, but there’s no bad words, so it’s all cool by the MPAA.

Feast your delicate eyes upon the trailer:

And if that left you dissatisfied, then check out this other trailer, which has some actual new footage, most of which focuses on Chloe Moretz’s scene-stealing Hit Girl.

See, that was better, wasn’t it?

Kick-Ass 2 comes out August 16th.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
