I’ve since heard that in the comic she is foul-mouthed. I wasn’t aware of that, and I was trying to get this info out as fast as possible for you folks.

“The only thing that bothered me and felt out of place was a scene at the very end of the footage where the young girl says a very vulgar word. You may argue that hey, she’s doing all kinds of other seriously heinous stuff, so what’s the big deal? But it felt forced and like it was put in just ‘because.’”

You’re probably referring to when Hit Girl drops a C-bomb, and is actually in the comic. Sounds like Vaughn is keeping it pretty close to the source material.

I was following the live updates on this and I have to say just hearing what the footage showed boosted my anticipation, feels like my kind of film. Matthew Vaughn deserves this to break out and make some money.

everything described sounds exactly like the comic. I’m not one for bandwagons but I might be the only one riding on this one judging from previous posts and comments. Proud to be the one….for now.
