In the sequel to All Superheroes Must Die, journalist Vicky O'Neil (Tallay Wickham, who co-wrote this with director Jason Trost) wants to find out who killed Ally Andrews, who takes her into the dark world of superheroes and an interview with the last surviving hero, Charge (Jason Trost). As he explains his life and all the loss within it, she explores what it takes to become - and keep on being - a hero.
Since the first movie, The Four has broken up after the deaths of Cutthroat and The Wall. Later, Shadow also died and Charge was the prime suspect. It turns out that his real name is John Ford and before he became a superhero, he dated Ally. There's also a masked man who is killing heroes one at a time, absorbing their powers and who may be working for the world's governments, who want control over the heroes.
A lot of people seemed to dislike that this film was a fake documentary, but I felt like it was a really brave choice for Trost and Wickham to make. The budget doesn't really allow for much in the way of powers to be shown but I found the story so enthralling that at no time was I wondering how the actual powers looked. There are big budget superhero stories and down and dirty ones, like this. Trost's superhero films have felt more like Bratpack than Titans and that's the way that I like them.
