Official The Suicide Squad Thread

[Turk]

I didn’t fukk with this movie at all. This was a chore to watch. I actually preferred the 1st suicide squad movie to this but in general I’m not a fan of dark comedies so take my opinion with a grain of salt

 

[Chris Cool]

So does Cena have more classic movies then the rock?

@R=G

Surpassed Rock with one role.

 

[Mortal1]

Surpassed Rock with one role.

but really though you do have a point

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

for me, easily the best dc movie but thats not saying much. I wouldn't put it above guardian of the galaxy or anything but i'd watch this again.

I think Gunn criticizing superhero movies al lbeing the same and then making this comes off a bit hypocirtical though. Making it more violent doesn't really make it different from GoTG

 

[Ironman]

Comic brehs, is mongal compared to mongul?

Nah they just nerfed her for comedic purposes

 

[Ironman]

[Ironman]

This is one of the biggest DC Stans.... and he didn't like it

Congratulations?

 

[Brandeezy]

This is one of the biggest DC Stans.... and he didn't like it

"This is one of the biggest Snyder Stans....and he didn't like it"

More accurate title, breh doesn't like any DC movie that Snyder isn't involved with.

Let’s be real, this isn’t good “for a DC movie,” It’s just a good movie. I keep seeing “it’s the best DC movie, which isn’t saying much” type comments.


It’s fun, it has heart, unpredictable, quality performances, cool action sequences and a great final act. Gotta give props when they’re due.


DC’s universe will literally never be on par with marvels. They’re too far behind. That’s okay. This movie is still flames and the overwhelming acclaim it’s getting from critics and audiences is well deserved

to me this was just guardians of the galaxy DC edition, it had almost all the same story beats. random, unlikely heroes, becoming friends/family, through some cataclysmic events. I thought it was highly predictable if anything.

also the DC universe being so fragmented at this point is frustrating i never know what canon they are basing this off.

This shared none of the same story beats.

The friends/ family angle doesn’t apply cause half the team died or betrayed one another. Harley and Flagg already knew each other. The was no romantic love angle.

The Starro plot was like nothing in either GOTG.

If anything this ripped from was Tarantino and that’s cause both cribbed off the Dirty Dozen

 

[Black Bolt]

Snoozefest of a film

 

[Dillah810]

They write her like she does in the comics and the movies.
She does a lot more than some psychiatrist who used to be a gymnast as a teenager can do.
That ho got super-strength.

You got to have super strength to swing that big ass mallet.

 

[Jello Biafra]

He's more of a big Snyder stan.

I used to like Tyrone before he hopped on the c00n train for views and started appealing to the MAGA/alt-right geek chuds.

The Snyder dead-enders were bombing the review sites for negative reviews of this movie before it even came out.
They are vehemently against any DC movie that does not continue the Snyderverse.

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

All cool cartoon characters do not transfer well on the big screen.
Harley Quinn is not it!




Overall movie was cool.
Mad laughs.
DC will forever be trash tho!
Just gotta deal with it.
Even their cartoons is wack now.

Aside from...


Harley Quinn

The only thing I didn't like about Harley is that they are still trying to subtlely push that whole "feminism" thing that I believe was started in the Bird of Prey movie (which I found unwatchable. I couldn't get through the first ten or 15 minutes of it).

I mean, I get it. They're trying to show that women aren't sex objects now, and that's why instead of having Harley in boy shorts like in the 1st movie, now she wears pants and they don't really show her doing anything sexual anymore.

But they gotta understand that there's a reason men want to see women superheroes and it ain't cause "women get it done".

We want to see sexy women on screen, but everybody wants to show us that women "are powerful, not sexy".

And that's just not what comic book fans wants.

The ONLY reason it worked in this movie was because luckily, the other characters shined, and Harley wasn't the focal point. But in the first movie, she was the focal point and her sexiness played a role in keeping the attention of the audience.

And btw, from what I recall, this isn't DC's fault. Margot Robbie was the one pushing the feminism angle iirc.
