Still, the moment doesn't earn its laughs or justify its inclusion in the film. A rape scene would, arguably, have indicated that he truly is capable of committing a violent act, rather than paying others to do it. Everything about him, from his oedipal name to his BDSM-inspired get-up, shows that he's more of a wannabe villain than a hardened criminal. I get the significance, character-wise, of the Mother Fucker's rape attempt. However, just as the Mother Fucker is about to go through with it, he loses his erection and isn't able to pump himself back up. He breaks in, has a henchman hold her down, and starts to undress. After storming the heroes' headquarters, the Mother Fucker learns Night-Bitch's civilian identity and home address. What's interesting is that the writers deemed some events too disturbing to adapt from the original comic book, including a rape scene between "The Mother Fucker," the film's awkward villain, and "Night-Bitch," a civilian hero and Kick-Ass's girlfriend. It's no secret that Kick-Ass 2, the sequel to 2010's dark superhero action comedy, is unabashedly crude, offensive, sometimes funny, and gleefully violent.
