Shortly after Carrey's tweets, on his Millarworld forum, Mark Millar posted a considered response to Carrey's about-face, stating: "First off, I love Jim Carrey." He goes on to praise Carrey for his performances in films such as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and points out: "He had lunch with Matthew (Vaughn, Kick-Ass director) around the time of the first movie and dug it so much he appeared that night on Conan O'Brien DRESSED as Kick-Ass, singing a duet with Conan dressed as Superman." A screen capture from this performance is now being used as the background for Mark Millar's Twitter page. On the fan-run, bespoke wiki for Kick-Ass, Carrey's character is spoken of as an anti-gun superhero.
