First Time Watching - The Suicide Squad (This Movie Has an Important Message!) 

One of the best things to come out of this movie is the Peacemaker series. It's so unbelievable how they managed to turn this pretty one-note anti-hero into a three dimensional character you really understand.

Fun fact: the guy who is shown injecting the explosive into Savant is played by John Ostrander, the comic book writer who re-invented the Suicide Squad in the 80s.

James Gunn has a way to get to your heart with even the smallest of details. Like ratcatcher crying while holding a piece of cloth from polka dot man's suit. Not only shows how sweet ratcatcher is, but how sweet it is that this guy, who most definitely had no one to mourn his death a few days ago, now will be missed by at least one person.

26:14 if you’re into superheroes with parental damage as their origin story you should watch peacemaker . It seems like a show right up your alley

This movie and The Peacemaker show were honestly some of the best DC content out (peacemaker actually gets really deep with the messages tbh)

I never expected to say this when it was announced, but the Peacemaker show really works together with this movie in a way that improves both pieces of media.

This is honestly one of my new favorite comic book movies. I’m fully convinced that James Gunn can do no wrong.

I haven't seen if someone else mentioned it but Margot Robbie did the scene where she frees herself. James Gunn was kind of mad that he hid her face behind her arm in that scene because he didn't want people to think she had needed a stun double for this.

People always underestimate Harley Quinn, you have to remember She is a certified doctor. She is very smart, outside of the crazy she presents as

Peacemaker has his own show now. That's what the after credit scene was setting up. It's a good show, would love if u would react to it.

Personally my favorite movie of 2021. I went in expecting a good time due to James Gunn and the cast, I was not expecting to be blown away.

The guy who plays Polka-dot man has been in a bunch he DC series. He was in the dark knight, Kadabra in the Flash, one of Jerome's followers in Gotham, Calendar man in the long Halloween, and he's also part of Ant-man's crew in the MCU

You should react/watch the Peacemaker series! It builds on this movie and these concepts so beautifully!

I forget a lot of the details of it but if I remember correctly theres a comic where one of the little starro's survives a fight with the Justice League after the main Starro dies but has amnesia (because Starro is genuinely evil in the comics) and Batman ends up taking care of it naming it Jarro and makes him an honorary Robin. There's one panel in the comics where its Batman hugging him and it is absolutely adorable and one of the most heartwarming things I've ever seen in comics.

Polka Dot Man had no business being as good of a character as he was, but he was absolutely amazing. This movie just has such a charm to it.

I loved this movie. I refer to it at Starro the Conqueror the Movie because they got it so right with how they did that character. This one is definitely superior to the other one especially as someone whose primary fandom is DC Comics

Everyone’s going to pitch Peacemaker, which is a great show. But if you haven’t seen it yet, watch Birds of Prey, with Margot’s Harley front and center.

Thats the thing about villains, they're usually victims of circumstance and some see themselves as heroes in their own story. In this film we have: Peacemaker and Bloodsport, who were both raised to be the best killers. Ratcatcher II, who raised on the streets by a junkie villain(Ratcatcher I) Polkadot man, who was experimented on by his mother. Then we have King Shark(Nanaue), who's actually a demigod, son of the Shark God. It's not his fault he needs to eat lol. And Harlequin, who was a normal psychologist that just fell for her patient... at the asylum for the criminally insane, who then proceeded to torture her till she was just as insane.

Waller has done some pretty messed up things in the passed. Pretty sure she had a part in Ace's upbringing in Cadmus in justice league unlimited. That was really messed up. And recently in the comics, she wanted a kyptonian as part of the suicide squad, so she got general Zod and that backfired horribly

I really hope, we somehow get to see Chloe/Ratcatcher 2 again somehow, loved her! Also, if you want more of Margot's Harley, watch the Birds Of Prey movie. It got mixed reviews overall, but is also loved by many people (including me), for sure not flawless, but a big ton of fun with fabulous characters and actresses and actors!

Harley/Robbie is amazing in this. Not only does she have this fantastic mini-arc, when Polka-Dot Man sets off the explosives her reaction is to shove him behind cover, and when King Shark's "new dumb friends" attack him she doesn't hesitate to run up and try to pull them off, regardless of the potential threat to herself from the NDFs _and_ King.

That whole scene where Harley unlocks her chains with her feet was all Maggot Robbie. No stunt double and done in one take.

You have to watch The Peacemaker series, it's amazing!

This was so much more than just a reaction video. You said a lot of beautiful things there at the end, some of which I really needed to hear. Thank you.

“Tighty Whiteys???? Really??!” “Now that’s just racist.” One of the funniest moments ever 😂

The first SS was by David Ayer, the man who made Training Day. Unfortunately for him, the studio interfered and hired a music video company to edit the film, so his original vision has never been seen. This one is by James Gunn the man who did the Guardians of the Galaxy. He is now in charge of the DC cinematic universe which he's in the process of rebooting

When I first watched you I was 13!! I'm now 16, you and abbi both helped me grow as people and I love watching your channel. Thats all lol

The Harder They Fall is a tremendous movie that also has Idris in it

Im only watching this reaction now...but your laugh...LMAO I love it! It's so genuine and infectious! Hope you react to (or are already reacting to) Peacemaker! Such a good and hilarious show! Loved the post movie talk, really felt that. Thanks again and thanks for the laughs!

Birds are a symbol of freedom. Caged birds is a theme in this movie.

This movie was good love the video imon Nation stay motivated dream big 1 mill on the way

"Art has something deep." Is quote of the year for me lol. I want that on a T-shirt

Oh oh! The Peacemaker series is the continuation and it's comedy gold while exploring deeply mental stress and mental differences dealing with ptsd and etc

I really liked hearing your thoughts at the end, thanks for sharing your perspective. :) It’s so true what you said about how a supportive family makes a world of difference. But I feel like the idea of acknowledging areas of privilege does have merit in certain contexts? Particularly when it comes to illustrating how flawed our culture of “Everyone has the same level of opportunity, you just have to work hard!!!” is. Like for some folks it’s basically saying “we all had the same odds to win this race, you just have to run fast!!!” to someone who was forced to wait 100 metres behind the starting line lol (not impossible, just waaay harder). For people in positions of privilege who’ve internalized the whole “poor=lazy, just pick yourself up by the bootstraps” mantra, hopefully they’d gain more empathy by understanding that even if they worked just as hard, their current situation could have been totally different if they were born as a different race, gender, orientation, socioeconomic class, etc. But at the same time I totally get where you’re coming from, because the whole online discourse around privilege often devolves way too quickly into tallying up perceived privilege points and scolding whoever has more. It’s so frustrating because that approach just ends up creating unnecessary conflict and division among oppressed groups/the working class in general, which in turn fails to serve anyone except those who are already at the top. Ultimately, it’s important to be mindful of exactly what you said: Each of us is here for a purpose, and we could all stand to put more effort into understanding and empathizing with each other’s struggles.

Polka Dot Man literally changed my life. LOVE THIS MOVIE

I love the way you think, and you seem like such a good person, it’s a pleasure to watch your videos ^_^

You proper laughed so much to this! I'm glad; a lot of people didn't find it funny. But there's a good handful of worthwhile moments. And Polka dot man was so good and messed up. I'd watch him in a solo origin movie; going through the science experiments, catching the interdimensional virus and somehow ending up in prison.

I definitely think you should watch Peacemaker after this it's genuinely such a brilliant show, superhero or not. It's incredible how a spinoff of this movie grew to be such a moving piece of media

Dope reaction I enjoyed it keep it up 🙌🏽👍🏽

basically, this film is about anti-heroes, it can be interpreted, that don't judge people by their appearance, sometimes we have made mistakes in the past, but humans can change and realize that what they did was wrong

Ha! So glad you liked this one Imon! Only James Gunn could take a ridiculous group of misfits like this and turn it into movie about family. Before I had seen Guardians of the Galaxy ,if you told me that a director wanted to make a Suicide Squad movie featuring Starro and Sylvester Stallone as King Shark I would have laughed in your face. I tried to explain this movie to someone and ended up sounding crazy. "So there's this giant mind-controlling star fish from space, right?" Yet, somehow, it just works. There's a sweet and touching message at the very heart of this really fucked up and gory story.

It's official. Imon is such a lovely person ❤❤❤

I really liked this movie more than I thought I would. I especially loved violent brutal no holding back John Cena as peacemaker. Peacemaker became one of my favorite characters

Peacemaker is one of the best shows that came out last year.

Can’t believe you hadn’t seen this already. I *can* believe you totally forgot the first film. Not exactly a winner, that one.

This is genuinely one of the best things to come out of the DCEU.

You gotta see the series, Peacemaker! It's one of those 'things to watch before you die' thing. It's gold, I promise 😀

Peacemaker is a great follow-up to this film. James Gunn directed most of the episodes. Idris Elba was fantastic in The Wire, one of the best shows ever made.

Advancement is so funny to me because we are looking at space yet still have racism, homophobia, ableism, misogyny etc. I don't care what's in space, I'd rather everyone advanced by learning about one another and having respect for each other rather than the segregation we have

I love the way you take meaning out of stuff

Got this in my recommendation today, probably since I’ve been watching a lot of videos for the Suicide Squad video game coming out. But loved that I found this, one of my favorite movies loved the reaction and really hope you continue with it and check out the Peacemaker series that follows this up.

I saw my beautiful queen 👑👑👑👑 here... clicked ... I may watch it now or later.... but when I see a beautiful person (inside and out) I can't help but love them.... people love you... get content out there... people want to support you!!!!!

Legit reaction. I like the green shirt on you❤

RIP Blackguard Captain Boomerang Mongal Javelin Savant Rick Flag Polka-Dot Man (TDK was in critical condition according the vitals monitor.)

Glad you enjoyed the movie, definitely better than the first one! please do a reaction to the Peacemaker show you'll be surprised at how good it actually is!

Daryl's brother's name is Merle(Michael Rooker).

I was surprised when Imon said she's a mom herself, she looks so young.

Yayyy!! Wanted to see you react to this movie for a while. Now Peacemaker next please!

I haven’t rewatched this movie since watching peacemaker, it’s kinda cool seeing them pre the show

Idris Elba had a prominent supporting role as "Stinger Bell" in a few seasons of HBO's "The Wire".

The message you found is beautiful. I am autistic too and I relate a lot to many of the things you put on the table. I just wanted to suggest that maybe it would be a good thing if you could stop and think for a while, maybe write the general ideas you want to touch before making the after-movie talking. Because you go around things for a while and it would be clearer if you could organize your ideas better. Also, improvising like you do has the risk that you could end up saying things that you wouldn't want, or that you don't notice you are saying. It happens a lot to everyone but I noticed that it happens more easily to people like us. Because of the way our attention works, and how passionate we are, we tend to speak too much when we get excited. Anyway, your reflection is very interesting, thanks.

The political portion of this film is great! Also, Sylvester's voice coming out of King Shark's mouth is perfection.

If you want more Idris Elba, you could check out his newest one by Ridley Scott, it's called "Three Thousand Years of Longing". I think you'd like it!

The Peacemaker show is a must watch after seeing this. Also in the prison when they introduce Polka Dot Man the guy that shouts "hey Polka Dot Man! Etc." That's Sean Gunn, James Gunn's brother.

I'll give you a movie with Idris Elba to see: Molly's Game. He's the number two character in the movie, but it is all written by Aaron Sorkin so it is damn chocolate for the ears and I adore the film. You should see it! So there. :)

I put this movie up there with the Deadpool movies for having that right amount over the top gore, leaning into the ridiculousness of a world inhabited by super-powered individuals while having so much heart. Something honestly missing from the Snyderverse era where those characters would be the ones to have this level of development, optimism and flawed individuals coming together to do some actual good. And hey, you want more check out the PeaceMaker spin off series, they really made a pretty good continuation of this movie's universe

I forgot Doctor who was in this 😄

Oh wow fantastic! Are you gonna do Peacemaker now? (If she says, I haven't actually started the reaction yet so call it a comment for algorithm)

I agree with a lot of these comments, peacemaker should be a show you watch. It is really short

If you liked this, then you'll love the Peacemaker show. It was a huge surprise to me as someone who went in with pretty reasonable expectations. One of the best shows of this genre, John Cena absolutely killed it.

"Killing kids, kind of a red flag." She would know. Since, you know, Jason Todd.

33:19 unfortunately it is. In real world history, it’s much much worse. We took in Nazi scientists to get to the moon using rocket technology they used on the V2 rockets primarily used on civilian populations. Unit 731 who committed atrocious war crimes, and pointless torture on prisoners including vivisection without anesthesia just to see what would happen to the victim, and the US pardoned the captured scientists of the unit in exchange for their research. There are countless atrocities committed by every government in the world throughout history and a lot of them went unpunished and even pardoned because… it is.

I'd love to see you react to our flag means death! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the characters and themes

26:00 welcome to James gunn filmography

you gotta watch the peacemaker show after this, its the sequel they were hinting to and gives alot more depth to those computer room characters and peacemaker of course

I had the same reaction to the overhead projector and I’m 22 😂 😂 😂

I hope this means you plan on watching peacemaker, I personally think its the best dc live action property at the moment and its even better than almost all the marvel shows.

Yeah, I like the red herring-team in the beginning.

While I love Idris Elba, and he does a great job in this movie I still would have proffered to see him as John Stewart. I was a big fan of the Justice League series so my main familiarity with Green Lantern was started with John Stewart.

Ohh Idris Elba gives an awesome performance in Molly's Game.

If you want Idris Elba movies and comic book stuff you should check out "The Losers" from like 2010. It's one of those indie comic movies that went way under the radar. It also has a small Chris Evans and Greofrey Dean Morgan before they were all super big.

I am sorry to ask this question here but have you dropped chainsaw man?

now time to watch the peacemaker show ... lets go !

You have some amazing and beautiful insight. Coming from love and stability are a privilege. But if you didn't have that, then you have another privilege. If you grew up having been taught deep down in your formative mind, that you are nothing, worthless, stupid, here is what you do have. I am not rich, or successful by any modern measure. But I have a superpower. That power was and is to tell my son I am proud of him. He is grown now, strong and confident, a kind caring man to a spouse and daughter of his own. And the greater part of that good comes from his mother. As parents, that simple power, to simply not break them, like we were broken, to never undermine their self worth, even when they mess up, and you have to be strict or disappointed with what they've done, that they still know they are loved. That is how we get back to a world of kindness again. And that feels like a Superpower to me.

The most recent movie I can remember with Idris Elba is beast

The actress who plays Rat-catcher2 is 26

@Imon_Snow have you read or watched Bleach ? If not it would be cool if you started seeing as the newest arc is being adapted. The second half is to come July 2023

In the DCEU, the Suicide Squad is a random group of super villains who were in jail for various heinous crimes. They are offered time off their significant jail sentences if they agree to go on extremely dangerous, almost impossible missions where they will most likely be killed. The missions are sponsored by various branches of the government in secret. Amanda Waller supervises the group directly. That's the Suicide Squad in a nutshell. 😉👍🏾

The Harder They Fall on netflix is a good western with Idris Elba in it

You gonna watch the PeaceMaker series (HBO) Imon? Actually a good watch too lol.

Since you watched Suicide Squad you should really watch the series Peacemaker. It's kind of a sequel and it is very good.

Peacemaker series after Sandman is done?

Now you HAVE to watch Peacemaker! It's sooo good.😀

Unpopular opinion, this is my favorite DC movie

Idris Elba is in Sonic 2 he plays Knuckles also John Cena in “Peacemaker” has a show too on HBO

I recommend you Super from James Gunn is his first superhero movie and the protagonist is Rain Wilson from The Office

One Idris Elba movie you should check out is called Takers. It's got "As mentioned" Idris Elba, along with: Michael Elay, Hayden Christensen, Zoe Saldana, Chris Brown, Tip T.I. Harris, and Paul Walker It was made in 2010 and I believe it is on Netflix (Don't Quote me)

Fake Moustache! That's the worst fake moustache I've ever seen.

I remember tv show Luther with Idris Elba. it was damn good

Beasts of no nation = the movie of idris elba’s that you should watch. It got robbed by the Oscar’s because back then netflix movies weren’t allowed to be nominated.
