There are a ton of super hero movies and tv shows. There are a ton of movies/tv shows about supernatural this and that, cops, lawyers, etc. So I don't have any problem with there being two films that deal with people trying to be super heroes who have no powers.

I thought Kick Ass was a disappointing bore and badly overdone. I think James Gunn handled his story better, and it's original rather than based on a comic book. I don't know. SUPER is a film right up my alley but I can totally understand friends having a very different reaction to it. I love James Gunn's outrageous humor and less polished approach to the subject matter. He's from the Troma school of filmmakers. I just love him a lot, so am probably biased.
