And yet the simple backstory of Gunn's The Suicide Squad is full of so much more meaning: just a simple, unexplained and innocent alien lifeform -- kidnapped, tortured, and robbed of any liberty, happiness, or childhood -- now a hateful, vengeful monster.

Me in batnam future when he finds the justice league at the arctica but they were Controled by stsrfishes on their heada or chest. The Queen was controling Superman if i am correct. In invincible there was episode where Mark was on Mars and there was alien specie looking like alien Hand with eye on the middle and they Has mind Control ability when they stick to someone. I think it was refference to starro because invincible is All about making fun of other superhero shows.

super effective one-sentence humanization of a giant space starfish. When I heard its final line my stomach sank, like yeah it's a monster destroying an innocent city that needed to be stopped, but it's a tragic story with no winners - all because some yankee-doodle dandies had to capture and experiment on it. Really fits the entire vibe of the movie too, it was handled really well

@mjolnirfan 2 года назад

Personally, I never liked the Cobi origin for Starro, I know what they were trying to do for the character but I felt it took away from his uniqueness. He went from having a strange but unique look to having a generic alien warlord design, from what I gather post-New 52 this was fixed by having Cobi more of a host body for Starro rather than being the guy who took control of the Starro race.

@@Seasonal-Shadow_4674 I mean, Starro fits perfectly with how outlandish The Suicide Squad is. The Suicide Squad wasn't taking itself seriously, which is why Starro worked. Despite the fact that he was originally a Justice League villain, I just don't think a villain like Starro would fit the tone of modern Justice League movies at all, unless they acknowledge how ridiculous Starro looks.
