What, they weren't talking about Spiderman, the Jewish superhero? ;)
And yes, Kick-Ass is awesome for many reasons. One of my favorite? She's young enough that we aren't burdened with the super-curvaceous, best-hair-ever, and fights in 8-inch stilettos bit.
She's just A COOL CHARACTER, and has her feminine fun bits about her (effing. LOVE. The. Purple. Hair.) I mean, with the male characters, rarely is it a major point of the storyline that they run around Being Hot and Snaring People (except Bond. But ya gotta love Bond. Connery's Bond. Ehem.). And though, yes, she did move the plot forward in the film by looking lollipop-lickingly innocent at one point, it was just awesome to have an assassin-style killing machine in a little daddy's girl package.
If I were younger, thinner, and a lot shorter, I would be proud to cosplay HitGirl. Because she is one cool C*** !
