With great power comes great responsibility. This is what Spider-Man said.
Can't you take responsibility if you don't have the ability? This is what King Kipian asked.
Kick-off is a superhero movie that subverts superheroes. This definition is very Zen, isn't it? But I do see it that way. The heroes in "Kick-a-Bian" are dressed up as ordinary people. They don't have superpowers, but they punish the wicked just as well. They seem ridiculous, like Nicolas Cage drawing himself a Batman-like shape with ink, or Dave in a straitjacket and two sticks on the street looking for a lost cat.
However, they are so serious and persistent. Dave is obviously an ordinary person, with neither special skills nor superpowers. But he is so unusual. In order to save a stranger, he fought desperately with three gangsters, and was knocked down and then stood up, even if he lost his life. Behind him was a group of people who were busy taking pictures but would not step forward to help. They regarded him as a hero, worshipped him, made comics for him, made all kinds of merchandise. Here, heroes are reduced to commodities. But no one ever thought that he was just an ordinary person, the only difference was that he had responsibilities.
If it is said, Dave still regarded this as a joke and game at first, and thought it was fun, but in the end, when he realized that he did not have the ability to take responsibility, and resolutely went to help the hot baby, he has grown into a "superstar". Hero", instead of the ordinary person who was so ordinary at the beginning that people could ignore it.
