ITT: Things that genuinely bothered you as a /co/mrade about this movie.

Joker actually loves Harley back in a romantic fashion in this movie. Still a fucked up version of love, but not the usual 'favorite gun or pet' that you see in comics. Actual, full blown, kissy kissy goo goo I lurv you romance.

Waller putting herself in a position where Batman has power over her and she's there WILLINGLY. I mean, she might have some backup plan ready for a double cross, but at the moment it seems like she was straight up without options and crawling in front of the Bat.


I think those two are some of the biggest offenders as far as comic status quo go, what else bothered you as a pulp fan?
>>
>>85217864

I really felt some of the scenes were pointless or near pointless. For instance, when Harley breaks into the shop window and starts stealing shit. The trailer leads you to believe it's part of a larger scene, but that's about 80% of the scene in the movie. Why set up an entire scene just to tell a half-assed joke? That's not even the only time that happened in the movie

Another thing I hated was Killer Croc's entire character. I don't think he had a single line of dialog that wasn't a joke, and all his jokes were 100% unfunny. Also his voice sounded like shit, like it was way too loud compared to everyone else.

Also everything involving the enchantress's world destruction plot. She wanted to build a machine because humans worship machines? But then at the end she says "my spell is complete" like two different people were writing the script and one wanted her to be doing a big spell and the other wanted it to be a big machine, but they never communicated with each other.

And jesus, the goddamn final battle took place in the middle of a thick fog? Are you fucking kidding me? Did they tell Ayer he wasn't allowed to use shaky cam, so he decided to find another way to make the action as obscure as possible?

I actually thought the final battle in the dust was pretty cool, everyone was shrouded but you could still make out the glow of Enchantress' eyes.

Everytime the camera moved to Harley Quinn I just wanted it to move back. She wasn't in the comics and feels arbitrary and forced, just like how Captain Marvel would've been in Avengers 2.

>>
>joker loving Harley
I think they're going to reveal his abuse later. He left her to drown, remember?

Also mine:
- Joker's teeth. Teeth alone ruined him for me
- Waller being badass the whole movie but surviving being caught by luck/plot armor rather than by her own power
- Diablo ex machina
- Croc getting too little attention
- Katana shoved in, given no depth
- black guy and diablo die AND NO ONE CARES
- boring zombie rock enemies
- how disorganized the movie was after the backstory scenes
- weak B movie dialogue in a lot of places

Everything else was actually alright to me. Worth seeing
>>
>>85218228

I felt like it was pretty clear that there was a LOT of editing that went on after David Ayer made his original cut. A lot of scenes feel shortened and the characters at times seem to jump around.

One thing about Enchantress that I didn't get was why was she belly dancing the whole time after her transformation into her "goddess" form. Like she's talking to Waller or the Squad and she's just grooving literally the inter time. It kind of cut the tension from those scenes, imo. Funny as shit tho.

Also, Harley was hotter than I thought she'd be.
>>
>>85218789
The best part of that was how painfully awkward it was. Common clearly wasn't into it, and Leto was clearly trying to get off on this forced (sigh) cuck fantasy. And then he just shoots him for no reason. If he was at least going for her, then it would have almost made some kind of sense
>>
>>85218799
And nearly 100% of the recent Squad comics are bad. Seeley's was standard, Glass' terrible, and Kindt's boring.
>>
>>85218824
Not to mention her terrible lip-syncing.
>>
>>85218824

weird af but she was supposed to be an interdimensional ancient being so I just rolled with it
>>
>>85218670
The pink unicorn thing was just a joke because in his character intro, in the bottom right of the screen, it says "Fetishes: Pink Unicorns"

So when he takes the toy and keeps it, it's supposed to be a joke because "haha, that's his fetish!"

Basically, anybody who couldn't be bothered to read missed out on the joke.

It only shows up one more time when it falls out his pocket during a fight scene, where he goes to pick it up, showing that his priorities are obscured for his fetish toy thingy.

It was a meh joke, but it wasn't supposed to be anything else.

This dream idea though >>85218741 was a great idea and I wish they did that.

Literally everyone who saw the movie got that. The thing is though, in a movie, when you focus on some seemingly meaningless object, it's supposed to be because it matters. Ever heard of Chekhov's gun? How pissed off would you be if it turned out the tank keychain in Ant-Man was just a keychain all along?
>>
>>85218803
Except the movie ends with them embracing and kissing after he breaks her free. Still makes me wonder if there will be a Suicide Squad 2 without Joker/Harley.

Boomerang only throwing two boomerang's in the whole thing triggered me more than anything else. As did him coming back when he ran away for no reason.

>>85218670
>The Joker was normal in Harley's fantasy.
Wait, you mean he wasn't in costume and make-up? When I heard about the dream scene I assumed they were in full costume.
>>
>>85217864
I agree with the Waller thing. She doesn't go to anyone for protection.
>>
>>85218803

It was for self preservation, He knows that Bats would get both of them but if he leaves Harley, Bats will save her and he can flee to break her free afterwards. He was actively trying to find her after the crash

Harley's dream is both of them with their skin unbleached raising two kids in a Leave it to Beaver-style home. You only see Joker from the back but his hair is black instead of green.
>>
>>85218581
Comicfag in me is pleased because she belongs on muh Outsiders.
Why was she on Skwad, anyway? What waste of character and slot. We could get someone else killed because, you know, SUICIDE and all.

Naw he is normal. It's honestly creepier then if he was in costume. Seeing Joker as a suburban businessman is unnerving

I doubt it. the Harley/Joker relationship is proving to be extremely popular, so it'd be a bad move marketing wise to remove or desecrate it. But I don't think anyone's ever accused WB of being smart, so eh.

>>85219057
Nope. He was full on, regular Jared Leto. You get a full second of his face.

>>85219076
>"Consider yourself under my protection"
How the fuck is Bats going to protect her? And who was Waller even afraid of in the first place?

I hate the mutual love between Joker and Harley. Theyre slowly catering the shipperfags and soon Harley will no longer be a cautionary example. But then again Harley hasnt been herself in some time
>>
>>85219167
>And who was Waller even afraid of in the first place?

probably those military general pentagon guys, who were already skeptical of her plan, finding out that the entire thing was caused by her losing control of Enchantress.
>>
Ive finally met a person who NEVER heard of anything about Harley and they loved the movie. I wonder if that's cause they have nothing to compare her to. I forget there are people out there that have zero interest in cartoons and comics. ..weird.
>>
>>85219195
They actually removed all the scenes that show that the relationship is actually abusive.
>>
>>85219167
>How the fuck is Bats going to protect her?
Money, probably. Though again I doubt Bruce has as many connections as she does.
>>
>>85219195
They literally sells shirts and bracelets and shit glorifying their relationship. I swear to god, "Relationship Goals", shit.
>>
>>85219114
>>85219127
Bleh. I think it's far more in line with Harley, at least the iterations I'm familiar with, to dream of them as completely in make-up (and maybe costume) living a sort of bizarre not-quite-normal suburban life.

Them being totally normal doesn't seem right for Harley.

Alright, I'll give my points. Besides the editing issues that normally I never notice but here were fucking obvious

-There are something like 8 pop songs in a row in the first hour. Like what the actual fuck? The only one that felt fitting was Eminem. Seriously, playing Fortunate Son for Killer Croc? Really?

-Boomerang was the one I was looking forward to the most. He had the right personality and mindset but had no screentime. The scene where he runs out of the bar when he says they're free was perfect but he comes back because they real nakamas now and shit. Also he only threw ONLY TWO FUCKING BOOMERANGS! WHAT THE FUCK?

-It's funny how I thought Leto would be the worst part of the movie but if he had any crime it was being portrayed as too low-key for the Joker. He didn't do anything notably crazy. The worst was his weird cucking thing. It's pretty damn obvious his scenes got cut too

-And on that same subject, Harley wasn't even that bad but she was so unimportant to anything, you could take her and Joker out and nothing changes

-Katana is a non-factor. Like she is a tree with a sword. We don't even get to see her do any soul stealing, come on man

-My biggest trigger was Enchantress as the last boss. Everything about her was a damn joke. She doesn't make any machine at all, just some lightning that destroys things (and for some reason doesn't use it on the Skwad), she goes back into her dirty form for some reason for an impossible to see sword fight, doesn't use any of her powers until she decides "Oh wait I can take all your weaoibs, boop, no weapons" and spends the entire movie just monologuing. It really sucks because before she went into full god mode, she was pretty great.

Also not seeing the entire Skwad's fantasy sucked balls. Like it was pretty obvious the film had character priorities.
>>

>when Harley breaks into the shop window and starts stealing shit. The trailer leads you to believe it's part of a larger scene
wat? i thought it was pretty clear it would be a one off joke. what larger scene could center around Harley stealing a purse from a shop window in a warzone?
>>
>>85219328
I swear that joke was going to pay off when he got stabbed. But instead it was a stack of cash? Where the fuck did he grab that?
>>
>>85219413
The entire scene is literally copy/pasted from the trailer. Watch that one part, and you've seen the complete scene.
>>
>>85219391
Yeah, I wish they marketed and developed Slipknot as an actual member. I know they probably didn't want to waste time on him, but the shock factor was non-existant, and he was the only real death in the movie.
>>
>>85219243

You know what? That's fucking creepy.

WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT EVEN MEAN
>>
>>85219413
>what larger scene could center around Harley stealing a purse from a shop window in a warzone?

You're looking at this completely backwards m8. The scene shouldn't have centered on that joke at all. It would make sense if there was a larger, plot-forwarding scene there that involved them walking through town, with maybe some dialog or something, and then at the end of the scene she breaks the glass. Instead,we got a 20-second long scene that ONLY exists so we can see her break the glass. You don't make an entire new scene just to do a quick joke like that. It contributed to the disjointed feel of the whole movie.
>>
>>85219345
What is this from? The expressions on their faces are too perfect.
>>
>>85219444
Might have been in his coat from when Flash grabbed him, or a cut scene since this movie was clearly on the block.

>>85219573

>>
>>85219518
Yeah but they would have confiscated that when arrested, not leave with his other belongings. I really think that was from a cut scene similar to Harley stealing that purse
>>
>>85218766

Ivy gave her a serum that made her toxin immune and enhanced her physical abilities.
>>
I didn't like the modernization of any of the characters. It felt like one giant hot topic commercial. I hated the Joker/Harlee romance, I hated softy deadshot, I hated that everyone else was there for looks, and I didn't like the dirty homeless woman enchantress.

The script wasn't terrible. The plot wasn't bad. But what ruined it for me was the "lel so edgy" mid 2000s feel of the entire thing. Who thought that was a good idea?
>>
>>85219591
Congratulations. You're smarted than the average moviegoer.

Using reboot Suicide Squad makes the whole thing more understandable.

The movie group is nothing like preboot Suicide Squad.

New Suicide gave us Punisher-Deadshot, who's just a guy who wanted revenge on criminals for murdering his family as a kid.

Which I kind of hate.

Deadshot has always been a softy in a strange way. Like that ongoing subplot in the original suicide squad comics about how he doesn't actually want to kill Batman for some reason.

But on the other hand him not killing Harley to be with his daughter seemed out of character.

Despite BvS Batman being great, Suicide Squad Batman was terrible. Though the scene with him chasing Harley and Joker was pretty good.

Wasn't this pretty much the first JLD story arc with a Suicide Squad substitution?

>>85219666
He stole that origin from Deadshot Will. He's rich kid who killed his brother.
>>
>>85218553

>she wasn't in the comics

Confirmed for not reading 4 years worth of Suicide Squad comics.
>>
>>85219729
Are you counting his Secret Six appearances as reboot? Because he had quite a few scenes in that where he's a softy toward his kid or others.
>>
>>85219694

Remember, they want a REAL Batman who makes REAL LIFE choices.

In real life, sometimes you have to compromise with bad people.
>>

Deadshot in the comics would have absolutely shot that guy in the prison ward first chance he got.
>>
>>85219776

To get the information that he already had
>>
>>85219491
But you're wrong. The scene was to show Deadshot being Dadshot and looking in the window to the child clothing. Harley breaks the glass, which has him look over, and then see the kid's clothes.

It's like you cucks didn't watch the movie.
>>
>>85219788
>you didnt understand the cuck thing was all a set up?

that's obvious but what was the right choice there? If he fucked Joker's girl right in front of him would he be allowed to live?
>>
>>85219765

Oh no, he loves his daughter.

But they also don't soften him with it. At no point does his time with his kid ever diminish the bad things he does. His daughter isn't an excuse, he could do well at other things than killing, he just doesn't WANT to.

He ENJOYS what he does.

And then died? Doesn't seem very smart.

He also would have shot Harley for escaping.

which was why I said the breaking glass was only 80% of the scene instead of 100%, it was still nowhere near enough to justify an entire scene. As if we haven't been reminded about his daughter 5 more times during the movie anyway.

Deadshot and Catman adventures in shopping will always be the best.
>>
Anyone else think it was weird that Batman decided to arrest Deadshot in front of his daughter? He even said he preferred not to. Maybe its because it was a rare instance of Deadshot out of hiding? I only bring it up because it felt forced with the kid drama and the idea that Batman would risk a child getting hurt
>>
>>85219340
You see it longer than that. There's even a webm of it now and it's a good second or two of full face when he leans in for the 2nd kiddo.

>>85219953
I thought it was weird that Bats just showed up. He farts out of the sky, says his lines, and the movie doesn't care. I know they said they wanted to show Batman from the villain's point of view, but... they didn't. It just sucked.

I knew exactly what you'd be whining about without mousing over that.

Yore completely off base. Do you not remember BTAS and how saccharine Joker could get with her?

Harley loves Joker. Joker loves owning Harley. When she is taken to jail by Batman, Joker has had his toy taken away and throws a tantrum. He's always been possessive and prideful. Fuck, by negligence he almost kills her at least twice.

At no point does he say "Harley I love you."

I always remember Harley helping break him out, not the other way around. Not unless he needs something.

>>
>>85220004
You do realize Joker doesnt go out of his way to break Harley out right? Because there was that one time he was going to nuke Gotham and didnt think to pick her up
>>
>>85218288
He's good when he's in but most of his stuff gets cut. He uses his boomerangs like four or five times.
>>
>>85219988
But the relationship is still abusive and unhealthy.
>>
>>85219988
Just because she's always with him.
It's funny that she's so obsessed with him and he just uses her. Some small part of him might slightly care about her, but he's really just focused on how much fun he has fucking with her.
>>
>>85220033
>>85220044

This. Joker leaves her to rot all the time. Either she gets out on her own, or other events just result in her escape.
>>
>>85220050

2. And he misses both times.

Harley got mad at him in one episode because she was in Arkham and rather than attempt to get her out, the Joker held auditions for a new Harley.

>>
>>85218684

>>
>>85220099
Point is their relationship shouldnt be seen as "oh how cute!" and Harleys side should only be viewed as tragic and on sided

OP here.

Kinda sucks that half of you guys are just parroting /tv/ memes about editing and plotholes. I guess you guys just don't know how to read or suss out what the purpose of this thread is.

For the other half that are discussing anger about Captain Boomerang never throwing boomerangs or Deadshot being too forgiving against their comic book source material, carry on. You guys are not retarded like the rest of the faggots in this thread.

I mean the comics that were good.

I mean, yeah it wouldn't be inaccurate to put Iron Man as the main character of the Guardians of the Galaxy. But it'd still be pretty stupid.
>>
>>85218789
>>85218848

I don't get why this scene is so hard for people.

A guy walks in and oggles Joker's girl. That disrespects Joker as the boss. Joker is offended and teaches him a lesson. Joker tells the guy "alright, she's yours."

The guy has two choices- reject Joker's gift, offend him, and get killed, or accept, touch Joker's property, and get killed. That's why the guy freaks out. He KNOWS he fucked up.

This isn't hard if you've ever seen a gangster movie.
>>
There's also a small but subtle difference.

Preboot: Joker brainwashes Harley over time, she busts him out. He later tries to kill her. Ivy finds her, nurses her back to health, and gives her a serum that increases her physical abilities and makes her toxin immune.

Reboot: Joker brainwashes Harley over time, she busts him out. He then takes her to the factory that changed him and drops her into a vat against her will. The look of betrayal on her face is pretty awful. He's very surprised that she DOESN'T die, and finds her on the bottom after draining the tank. Skin got bleached and mind got borked.

The movie alters things further by having Harley almost VOLUNTEER for the abuse. She chooses to go into the tank and barely fights the Joker's electro-shock application. It makes it more "acceptable" to the modern audience by having her choose instead of the Joker forcing everything on her. Which is a mistake, as it downplays some of the abusive aspects.

Then you don't get Harley at all. Her entire life is based around the idea of an ideal romance.
>>
>>85217864
Already wrote about my biggest issue itt >>85217437

But to recap
>It almost seems like Ayer doesn't understand that the purpose of task force x is to get criminals to do illegal things, you pick criminals because they don't have a moral compass anyway, and because they are expendable, on both of these attributes, Ayers squad fails; they want everyone to stay alive and nothing they do in the mission is morally wrong(besides Harley stealing the purse)
>Starting a team to protect the nation/earth from meta threats makes sense, in fact it makes so much sense, that we are going to see a repeat of that same purpose for next year's justice league, starting it with criminals doesn't make sense, because you aren't doing anything illegal or morally wrong.
>None of the characters on task force x are remotely capable of doing what the team was set out to do; which was to stop the next kryptonian-tiet threat. WW, superman, zod, faora, doomsday, and flash can solo this team.
>Waller knew that WW, aquaman, flash, and Batman existed. She knew flash wanted to stop criminals and she already used Batman to apprehended deadshot, we don't know the extent of her knowledge on WW, aquaman, or cyborg, but she doesn't have a reason to not ask Batman or the flash to help out.

I keep trying to come up with analogies for how badly Ayer or WB managed to miss the entire purpose of task force x. It's not supposed to be a redundant justice league.
>>85219733

It was

>Nailed the purpose of the squad
>Nailed the purpose of the members of the squad
>Showed the squad doing illegal shit

People complained that supes didn't save anyone or he was too moody in MoS, making task force x a jr justice league is just as bad

And it didn't help that these "worst of the worst" were hardly even fucking 'Bad Guys' half the time.
Seriously, they act more like anti-heroes gone soft that just woke up on the wrong side of the bed.
Even Captain Fucking Boomerang acts like a complete bitch the whole movie, aside from punching out a guard or two.
And then they win the day with goddamn friendship.
Literally fucking friendship, goddammit.

>I already lost one family. I'm not losing another
I love how they've literally only known each other for, what, a day at that point?
And wasn't Diablo's whole thing that he wanted to repent for his criminal ways?
Why was it so easy for him to get so buddy buddy with known killers and thieves?

He went from "Im not one of you guys, I don't trust you" to "Fuck it, you guys are like, my best friends."

That was such a lame final zinger, too. Your entire marketing scheme was about how they're villains, but they really end it on the power of friendship? DC has no follow through.

>>85220892
People have gleaned all sorts of meanings out of that scene. But the movie is edited and acted so poorly that you have to think about a simple scene in order to understand it.
>>
>>85220610
I knew it was coming, but Ayer kept hyping up "bad vs evil", which implies neither side is going to be good, and that "bad" is going to break the law and do incredibly immoral things. Superman crashing the satellite at the end of MoS and Batman manslaughtering people in BvS are both much worse than anything the squad did during the mission.
>>

It really seemed like he was trying to see if that dude would mess with his girl and he was disappointed when he was actually loyal, so to make mom freak he killed him anyway.

It was a way for redemption for Diablo. He managed to get to know his teammates in the bar scene. Sadly there wasn't enough screen time for him to express it further. If you think about it these are the first people he has interacted since he burned his juicy ass wife and kids. He didn't want to leave them like he left his family so naturally he would see them as friends.

Things that didn't make sense or I apparently missed
Joker is a cuck?
Why the fuck is Katana even there?
Why didn't more Suicide Squad members die? I thought this was Suicide Squad, not the selfless sacrifice squad. The regular team members died more often then the 'suicide squad'
Why didn't the Enchantress just kill everyone? Even is she wanted to keep that one dude alive because host-feels, killing the leftovers should have been easy
They said they were building a Machine God, I didn't see a machine being worshiped.
Where was Batman or Wonder Woman? This was definitely a job for Wonder Woman.
So, Waller's plan was to just leave the City and call it a day?
Why was captain boomy being a bitch at the end?
Joker is a cuck?

I hate the tattoos. I can't take these characters serious in an attempt to make crazy, clown based villains. They look edgy in a pathetic way. I feel sad when I see them. Apathy is the term I'm looking for.
>>
>>85222057
Actually all Enchantress said was "they worship machines now instead of us" and basically made a "machine" which was really a spell that would kill everyone
>>
>>85221869
Not have them save the world, have them do something that is highly illegal and nobody in the gov is comfortable with, so you have to choose criminals to give yourself deniability in case it goes wrong. You have an entire universe of material to work with that they could be doing, like stealing lexcorp tech or breaking into star labs, I'm not saying it has to be either one of those, but having a team of criminals means your going to be doing something wrong. Danny ocean doesn't bring oceans 11 together to help the city clean up trash

She was in before everything went down, that was her base of operations

Chill out bruh. You look at something like Superman Earth 1, and it's not completely different kind of superman. Sure some things are different, but it's not something like Red Son.

Is there any word on whether or not we're gonna get a director's cut of this? Cuz my biggest problem with the movie was the absolutely shitty pacing and editing.
>>
>>85221748
Because Enchantress was let loose by the government. If it got out that the government released a world nuking witch just so they could use her as a weapon against other countries, there would be a global war

We can hope but I'm not sure how much pull Ayer has.
>>
>>85220237

Yes and?
>>
>>85222521
They didn't do anything during the mission that identified them as bad guys. There was one choice that might've been morally tough(killing Harley) and they didn't even do that

>>85222587
The government didn't force her to get infected with the enchantress, it was dangerous for them to use her, but they weren't causal in her creation.
>>
Speaking of cut content, I do really feel bad for Leto considering how much Joker content was cut. I cant fairly criticize his performance given how little he was in this. And while Im not totally sold on his new relationship with Harley, I really do want to see him in the Batman solo

Objectively this movie is poorly made, but I really liked it regardless. I can't say that anywhere but here because motherfuckers will viciously attack me personally for enjoying myself.

That said, this doesn't feel like a David Ayer movie at all and Leto is livid at how much of his work was cut from the film. Asking "Was there any that weren't cut? You tell me?" A LOT of those scenes featured Joker abusing Harley. (Hitting her, degrading her). I have a feeling we might still see a cut of the movie with that stuff in it. This movie wasn't near the character study I envisioned when I heard Ayer was directing a villain team-up but it was still enjoyable for me just seeing a lot of these characters on screen interacting with each other.
>>
>>85223290
>Objectively this movie is poorly made, but I really liked it regardless.
This is how I feel.

The music was obnoxious, the scenes jumped around, a bunch of characters did next to nothing, casting Eastwood was a waste, some of the "jokes" fell very flat, and the CG was so bad at some points.

But I still had a lot of fun, it was like the 80's movies I thought I was watching as a kid.

Look I wouldn't say it was absolute shit and there were a couple of times I had fun but all I felt after the movie was a big meh.
>>
I feel like one of the biggest issues with the movie is how large-scale the final threat was. When there's a world-threatening villain about to fuck shit up, it doesn't really matter who stops them as long as they get stopped. There was no reason to not have actual heroes deal with the situation, and that's not a mission the Suicide Squad would be needed for. The movie should have have a better mission, where a squad of criminals doing illegal shit for the US but not being affiliated with any government would actually be necessary

This was acceptable, she's still like a pet to the Joker but she's more like the dog you keep because you like seeing it rip people's faces off, not because it gives you warm fuzzies. That whole scene where she falls in the acid shows that she is devoted 100% to him and while he does do that whole "I realize I'm in love with you" thing he, unlike her, had a moment of hesitation.
>Still on Harely
Aside from giving joker a reason to be in a film about the bad guys of DC, she actualy felt like a natural fit. She was shown to be good at combat (killed/wounded several armed bellrev guards). Yea in grand scheme she was unneeded but she did provide the secondary conflict (Joker shit) and some decent eye candy.
>Deadshot
He felt like the only character that actually had some thought put into, his background/motivation was very clear and we got to see both his work side and the dad side back to back, covering all the bases needed for his character in the right amount of time and pace. Only complaint would be the "I missed" scene, yea their friends and Waller is the bbeg but it felt like it would have been more in charecter if he has shot her.
>On a related note
I would have liked it better if CB was the one who pieced everything together and found the binder. Would have made him coming back (hehe, boomerang joke) more meaningful.
>Moving on to CB
He felt like the only reason he was there was to fill numbers. In regards to the big plot only Croc, Diablo, Deadshot, and (arguably) Harely where needed. Everyone else (even the military dude) felt kind of forced.

>Enchantress and her brother
That whole thing was a mess. First she tells her brother to wait, so what does he do? He goes out and starts attacking shit. The double cross was played off well and the get around her heart being stabbed was acceptable, but once he shares his powers we don't see him get weaker at all while technically it was his power that was fueling the creation of the machine spell.
>speaking of the machine spell
Could have had lightning powers take control of a setalight or something, you know be ironic and kill them with their own tech kind of deal. Nice touch with her targeting classified facilities using Wallers brain tho.
>Dialbos arc
This felt nice, we see him go from someone casually incerating an entire prison to sad emo to fire God from hell. Sadly he felt like an after thought in terms of screen time and importance. He really nailed the super villains redemption part tho.
>also
How/why could he speak the same orherworldly language as the others all of a sudden? I feel like it's self explainatory but the explanation was lost somewhere.
>killer Croc is Killer Croc

Overall it's not bad, interesting in the fact we get to see good guy/bad guy reversed but ultimately I feel like it was trying to do too much and as a result did almost nothing. Music coming in and out I didn't mind so much but the variety of the music is what annoyed me, "spirit in the sky" started playing and all I could think of was Awsome Mix vol. 1.

The movie really felt like it was cannibalized in the editing stages. As it stands characters like croc and boomerang could be completely cut from the movie and no one would notice.
>>
>>85223434

I smiled throughout the entire first act myself. Felt awkward most of the 2nd because it didn't feel like the movie even remotely earned the sudden shift of being in the shit. The bar scene was my favorite in the movie because it was the only scene that felt like an Ayer movie. Probably a left over from his original cut of the movie. That's probably why the 3rd act was enjoyable for me. It was smoother than the 2nd and I got to watch characters than I already loved BEFORE I walked into the movie interact some more.
>>
>>85223798
See that's not how I feel. I'll repost my feelings on the acts from another thread

First act-character intro and forming of team: Great. Fantastic setting of the tone

Second act-Entering the city, first fights: Okay, starts to slow down but have some good lines, action sequences and character moments. Bar scene was quite good (even if they cut out the "what are you having" scene)

Final third-Last fight against Enchantress: Movie fucking drops like a rock. Everything just goes downhill. My friend and I laughed when Enchantress just jacked all the SS weapons after fighting them and just wondered why the fuck she didn't just do that before. It was like Fant4stic Doom levels of "I am so overpowered but am going to just not for some reason". Also way to have an ensemble movie and not show what the other members' biggest dreams were you editing hacks.

They had 66% of an okay movie and then just fucked it all up at the end.
>>
>>85223752
I feel like no one but autists will care about how much better this movie could've been cause it's "fun". Maybe. If it weren't for the hype, I'd say it'd end up like BvS. It's just sad.
>>
>>85223896
>mfw I'm an autist that acknowledges it could have been much better but was still an entertaining movie throughout
>>
>>85223593
Was it? I failed Spanish 1 (just didn't care) and it was hard to understand any words at all through the possessed voice sounds.
Movie said that the two where from another dimension or some shit so I assumed that's what they where using. That does make more sense now.
>>
>>85223928
No, the siblings were speaking weirdo language. Diablo's "It's on bitch" was Spanish
>>
>>85218670
I imagine it's because she understood that the squad was being forced to do things under false pretenses.
She's a crazy wild card, so I'm guessing Waller thought she might come in handy.
They were going to retrieve the "HVT" which means High Value Target. It's implied that the person they're getting is important.
Could be because she's crazy enough to make that her squad's first legit mission to further cement them as a viable option, or she just happened to be in her base of operations at the wrong time.
Yeah that was all fucking stupid, but it seems like that was another thing that was "cut and hope for the best."
My best guess is that other portions of the subway caved in enough to block the water from going anywhere, but by "sheer coincidence" flooding where they needed to be.
I don't know anything about Diablo as a character, but it seemed to me that he was extremely drained and weak from going ham on that dude, and is far more easily killable in his normals tate.
Harley imaging them having a normal life together isn't really all that weird to me, but I don't really read DC comics.
Another stupid thing that made me go "how the fuck didn't they see or hear that obvious bullshit?"
I feel like he actually had a far bigger role to play in this movie but WB decided to cut and edit a bunch of shit and basically turned what could have been a great movie into an okay one.
I'm really just mostly guessing because this movie requires the viewer to do a lot of their own guesswork and make their own assumptions purely because it's been edited so poorly. I'm hoping for a director's cut.
>>
>>85223921
Thing is, from what I heard the ultimate cut doesn't save BvS so my hopes for a proper Suicide Squad home release are slim.

I feel like these tactics show pure contempt for the fans, the only ones desperate enough to pay more than once for this.
>>
>>85224440
The difference is that BvS was bad from the conception, whereas it's very clear from viewing that SS's problems are all in the editing room.
>>
The whole point of the character is that Harley's love for the Joker is unrequited. No matter how bad Joker treats her, she'll always come back to him and do anything for him. Making the Joker love her back is idiotic.

I was really bothered by Waller just straight up gunning down a room full of techs just because they weren't cleared to work on that level of classification (Or more likely she needed to cover her ass) and she didn't need them anymore. Then again I haven't seen her much in the comics, mostly JLU, so.

Also worst part of the movie to me for some reason was Croc's "I like her" line after joining up with Waller. The delivery was shit, it was cliche, and only served to make her look tough which they were doing a fine job of already.
>>
>>85219328
>Doesn't actually go anywhere with this joke

The first 30 mintes of the film is great at the cost of ruining the rest of the film by putting what should have been backstory flashbacks scattered through out the film to break up and change the pace into a 10 minute sequence designed by a Snapchat/Instagram filter creator
>>
>>85219345
Yeah, but the payoff to that stupid line was so heartbreaking.

Although I didn't like how they showed Jared's face when he was a normal guy. It's like the one rule you don't break; you don't show the Joker prior to his transformation.

I dunno man, I think even with proper editing it'shard to see Enchantress, her brother, and her relationship with Flagg really working out. A lot of Enchantress's dialog was just unsalvageably terrible.

There was no good reason for everyone not to fuck off when Flagg broke his bomb remote. At least Boomerang should've stuck with it unless forced to rejoin, and "hurr durr he's a boomerang" is still fucking stupid.

Enchantress being the threat was way outside the scope of the Suicide Squad. They ought to have been doing black ops shit against a more normie villainous organization.

For being a bunch of villains, they sure did lack in villainy. It looked like their criminality was frequently targeted at other criminals. Deadshot should've been doing a hit on a politician or some other innocent bigwig, not a mob boss.

>>
>>85232302
>Deadshot should've been doing a hit on a politician or some other innocent bigwig, not a mob boss.
To be fair, the guy Deadshot killed was a mob snitch. Letting him live would have likely put a lot of horrible people behind bars and saved a lot of good people from being killed/extorted/etc. Plus from the way he talked about not giving a fuck, I wouldn't be surprised if he's done even shittier jobs before.

The Boomerang part was dumb as fuck though Even though I loved the initial part where he books it, they should have left in the part where he reconsiders leaving at least.
>>
>>85217864
I'm mostly curious whether this has spurred yet another pissing contest between shippers and SJWs. Nothing better than watching kids spout off their opinions of shit that's been discussed since the 90s like they're brand new and unique.

>>
>>85232713
I didn't pick up on the snitch part, but even a mob snitch is still often a bad dude, just one that's caught between a rock and a hard place. There's room in Deadshot's established backstory for him to have done worse shit, yes, but they should've shown it using that scene that would've required very few changes.

There's another thing I forgot to add about the whole villainy-free villains deal: They even showed that the prison guards are bad dudes themselves, so you don't feel bad at all when they get offed by the protagonists. Except that they totally forgot to have Harley and Joker kill the guard captain, even though they waved obvious flags for that to happen.

Okay, so who the fuck shot the Squad's helicopter down when they got to Midway? Was it The Joker? Those eyeball guys somehow getting an anti-air gun?

When I first watched the movie I thought it was the chopper behind them and figured the crew had either been turned by Enchantress or were working for Joker, but then they just land alongside them.

Also why the fuck did the helicopter carrying Waller out of the city divebomb close to the streets shooting all those flares? Did they think the monsters had missiles now? Why didn't they just fly off into the sky?
>>
>>85221576
Thing is, though, that they know all too well about that shit, and they'll get pissed that they're "glossing over" that shit.

This isn't an SJW film, this is a normie film made to sell merchandise. You really think anyone's gonna by any of that #relationshipgoals shit with Joker and Harley if it's a blatantly abusive relationship?

It'd be better, sure. But it wouldn't have been great.

The Enchantress/Flagg romance fell completely flat, the Incubus was almost a non entity aside from being a bruiser, Enchantresses plan was poorly thought out, etc.

The character beats could probably be salvaged, but the driving force of the plot was weak.

It was shit but not as shit as I thought. Leto tried way too hard. His off camera bullshit makes sense to me now after watching it. Also I hated how they become a "family" despite the fact that several characters never even interact with each other, or only get a few lines. It felt forced as fuck. In fact the whole movie felt forced. Also it seems DC movies are currently stuck in this limbo where they don't know if they want to be quip fests or dead serious drama/action movies. Diablos back story seemed tacked on for no reason other than to explain why he didn't just incinerate everything.

Right? Can you imagine if they went about this movie so it fit that aesthetic the whole way through? They really made something kickass but only used it on the title card and a few times for backstories. Like imagine if that colorful grit was used as a palette for every scene.

>Action scenes are in acid-trip rainbow color instead of grimdark edgy greytones.
>Bloom effected neon blood splatters (of course, of many different colors)
>2.5D effects. Imagine what a cartoon-y explosion looks like. Now overlay that over a 3D movie so that it fits into the scene but feels discernably comic-stylized
>Instead of having youtube tutorial-tier music selection, they have a gritty electronica original score, and the action is synced to the actual fucking score, as opposed to a poorly edited fight scene happening while "Another one bites the dust" plays quietly in the background. Poor example, but something like this plays during a fight scene while stylized combat happens in sync https://youtu.be/X3oOQ8XnQWU?t=74

It naturally creates dissonance, because the music and colors are fun and get you pumped, but you realize that it's playing while good people are being gunned down. It creates a macabre kind of hype.

Totally wouldn't be anything like DC or Marvel has made lately, but maybe that's a good thing.

Checked, and same, I really feel bad for him, he was clearly excited for this role and he had some big shoes to fill because of Heath Ledger's Joker, and I think he probably did much better than we saw but since a lot of the movie got taken out or edited badly, we won't see it until it the 'Ultimate Edition' comes out.
And his relationship with Harley...it was weird because in every previous incarnation, Batman was the subject of his attention, but in this he actually gives a shit about Harley, he puts in effort to get her back twice, and jumps into that vat after she does, plus "Would you die for me? No, that's too easy. Would you live for me?"
This just doesn't seem like the normal, abusive Joker-Harley relationship, which is weird but I didn't actually hate it.

>Waller knew that WW, aquaman, flash, and Batman existed. She knew flash wanted to stop criminals and she already used Batman to apprehended deadshot, we don't know the extent of her knowledge on WW, aquaman, or cyborg, but she doesn't have a reason to not ask Batman or the flash to help out.

She doesn't ask people like Batman, etc. because she's running a shady black ops unit doing shit off the books and using famous vigilantes goes against the very word of covert. Also criminals are already easier to control since they're in the system and going on a mission has more incentive than rotting on your jail cell, plus they're far more likely up for anything, including assassinations and collateral damage. Plus the bombs are there exactly ensure the squad follow orders, or do you think Flash would be just cool doing everything Waller says when she will kill government employees just to cover her own goddamn fuck up? And if the mission goes wrong, they can just put the blame on the squad, since they're known criminals. There's complete deniablity.

There is literally no reason to use heroes from Waller's POV unless she had ironclad way to make sure they complied with her orders, which is unlikely. Even Flagg, a decorated soldier who works for the government, was specifically manipulated to fuck June by Waller in order to get him under her thumb so he'd be pressed to follow her orders unquestioned.

As I understood it, he was giving her CPR when she woke up and started making out with him.
>>
Deadshot almost never wore his mask. He put it on like twice in the movie and took it off because we HAD to know it was Will Smith under it. It's the same shit with that Garfield Spider-Man, always taking his goddamn mask off.

The mask was the best part of the costume design.
>>
Joker wasn't funny. No visual puns, no dry social commentary, no gags, nothing.

But the bigger problem to me, is pacing. It feels like we're watching DC's take on Avengers, but without ANY worldbuilding beyond BvS, which was a bit of a shitshow in its own right. Imagine an Avengers filmed without Iron Man, Thor, or Captain America films. It would be fucky as all get-out because we'd get a cliffnotes-tier backstory on major characters, and as a result either not understand them, or you get nothing at all, which to me is what Captain Boomerang is.

This movie suffered tremendously, in my opinion, because DC jumped the gun and couldn't afford/couldn't be bothered to make a few movies in-universe to try to establish characters and setting.
>>
>>85244884
>he was giving her CPR when she woke up
That's not how CPR works
>>
>>85245032
This. The solo movies should've come out before B v S.

Also,
>Joker & Harley kill Robin
>Man on manslaughter tries to save them
>>
>>85244884
They did a piss poor job of showing that though. You don't really show someone doing CPR with birds-eye view.
>>
My only issue with the movie was the editing. I enjoyed BvS ultimate cut. And I think I will enjoy this movie too when they get around to releasing the directors cut.
>>
>>85217864
This isn't /co/ material anymore. stop trying to generate buzz and go back to your movie general. Movie dc/ marvel universe has been proven numerous times to be its own medium and holds no bound on canon.
>>
I think an ultimate edition restoring scenes of Joker abuse or any other scenes won't magically redeem the movie.

The "Power of Friendship/Family" ending will still suck.
Enchantress dicking around with twin swords will still suck.
>>
>>85245231
Yeah, that fight was underwhelming. I expected magic and shenanigans. Instead we got knock guys around fight.

>>
>>85245047

As far as I know, that's CPR. It was in-character too for Harley to do something like that, she might not have even needed to CPR and was waiting for a moment to attack Batman again, like how she faked unconsciousness in the car just a few minutes earlier. But instead she made out with him because lol so wacky and randumb. IIRC, Batman knocked her out right after that.

>>85245139
I thought it was clear enough, it never crossed my mind that Batman went in for a kiss.
>>
>>85245231

Haven't seen the movie yet - probably won't until retail release I hardly ever go into a theater - so won't comment on the value of it, but adding those deleted scenes back certainly looks like it would make it more palatable to me as an old comic fan, if not good in itself.

>>85245586

Dude, he dipped her and started making out with her, That was, in no way, someone performing CPR.

Mouth to mouth resuscitation then. Batman instigating the kiss makes no sense, Harley instigating it does, she's done it before for the shock value.

It's already been established that this movies problems lie in the editing room, so this scene could just be another victim of poor decision making.

After the TKJ, there where a lot of things that broke that rule, both comics and tv/movies. You can almost credit TDK for removing the emphasis on a persona before he was the Joker; at least as far as adaptations are concerned.

I love BTAS, but even they pulled this.I don't mind depicting the Joker's face before, but giving him a name and occupation muddies things up. Hell, even depicting his face can give away too much; Bolland drew him as a sad sack, and MOTP pre-Joker looked like a smug asshole. If he was definitely a criminal before, it makes the change less dramatic. I like how Moore added the ambiguity of the Red Hood being a persona for multiple people; it made it so that it wasn't clear if he was a criminal before, or if it was just a one shot thing gone wrong.

I didn't mind it since it was just Harley's perception of Joker with regular skin and hair. Not necessarily what he looked like before. For all we know he had a completely different hairstyle and never dressed in a suit before. This Joker wasn't really physically deformed like Nicholson's and Ledger's, so he can pass as an everyday person with some color changes.

>>85245522
Waller's interests are America's interests, silly. Whether the United States knows that or not.

>>
>>85247593
Because they weren't cleared for the mission. She says as much.

Only Waller was part of the mission because she was important. The others could spill the beans that the US Government released Enchantress and almost destroyed the world, as well as using her to steal international government secrets, either of which would be grounds to start a war with the US.

Reminder that there were two cuts that were combined to make the final movie.

One cut the director's darker vision.
The other cut, favored by the studio, made by a company that makes trailers, in the spirit of the pop-infused jokey trailer that tested well.

He landed on the planet because, as far as he was concerned, he was fucking invincible and wanted to gloat. He waited for the dance off to finish because he absolutely fucking astounded the guy was acting like a crazy person. Which was for all of like, 30 seconds, and there was no actual dance off because it was just Quill acting like a buffoon to distract him.

People act like GotG had some dance off ending when it was just a distraction and GotG actually ended with the power of friendship and genetics.

>I don't get why this scene is so hard for people.
>A guy walks in and oggles Joker's girl. That disrespects Joker as the boss. Joker is offended and teaches him a lesson. Joker tells the guy "alright, she's yours."
>The guy has two choices- reject Joker's gift, offend him, and get killed, or accept, touch Joker's property, and get killed. That's why the guy freaks out. He KNOWS he fucked up.
>This isn't hard if you've ever seen a gangster movie.

>mfw people whining that Bats holds her down by her throat after he resuscitated her

She literally tried to cut him while he was saving her from drowning and he knows how unpredictable she is so why is that such an issue for some people?

That "Joker Vision" stuff is pure garbage. Who thought that was a good idea.

Probably more a calming therapist so they didn't kick the shit out of Leto.

They talk it out so they don't beat him every day.

Knowing Waller, those flares might have just been markers for a strike bomber to take down the building the SS was up in. You know how she is about loose threads.

what is an adaptation?

For the first half hour, until it starts focusing on Joker and cheapens the first game's entire point with its finale.

>Joker actually loves Harley back in a romantic fashion in this movie. Still a fucked up version of love, but not the usual 'favorite gun or pet' that you see in comics. Actual, full blown, kissy kissy goo goo I lurv you romance.

You're all damned fools if you thought for a cunting minute that they would adapt Mista J's & Harley's relationship faithfully in this current political climate.

They apparently did, and then the Trailer Park Boys cut it all out.

That's why Leto is so pissed.

what?

It still wasn't comic book relationship Harley and Joker, but it was closer to it with Letoker being really abusive to Harlot.

that joke was definitely reshoot "we need to make this movie funny" stuff

yeah, It was painfully obvious that he only existed to show that the bombs worked.

This. Myself and all of my friends (who aren't even into comics) all understood immediately that Joker was fucking with that dude. It's not hard to pick up if you're not some autist who sees cucking in everything I guess.
