Also I agree about each DC character having a different tone. The idea I've had for a while now, is that, instead of Batman films or Superman films. Have Gotham City films, that way you can have characters in a film without having to have Batman. For example "Gotham City: Red Hood" or "Gotham City: Nightwing" etc. And have them taking place at the same to explain why Batman isn't helping out here or why aren't they teaming up, make the City feel alive with the characters doing stuff. Also a good way to use different villains in each film rather than waiting for a Batman film to introduce them.
Personally had the same idea too but divided by JL "branches" which deal with specific threats namely, physical, magical, or meta. Demons popping up? Get the JL Dark. Looks like Mongul's coming? Send the Odyssey team. Court of Owls causing trouble? Call in the Outsiders, and so forth.
@@comicsmisexplained ah maybe that's it, I was Emergency Awesome breakdown of the Suicide Squad and he said something to that number. I just remembered that Gunn is directing a large portion of the episodes
@@comicsmisexplained I just watched an interview where James Gunn said he directed 5 of the 8 episodes and hopes to direct all of them if they get a season 2
As a fan of the John Ostrander Suicide Squad, Boomerang getting killed off kinda pissed me off. It could've been a good running gag that he's the scumbag that survives the missions. that aside, i do appreciate that James Gunn left you on edge, not knowing how is gonna make it out alive. PS RIP Milton, heart of the team 😆
Yeah you are right. This was shot way before the pandemic, Benny's a little off base with the time table and reasoning. I think the joke between Peacemaker and Bloodsport was a kind of jab at how easily it is to sub in one "man-shooting-guns" villain with another, poking at the unsaid Deadshot similarity too.
I wish team A had a longer story, not necessarily half the movie, but I would have prefered to just kill them off in like three seperate scenes. They just spent so little time with the team that I didn't care when anyone died outside of Boomerang and Javelin, but that was only because I liked Boomerang in the first one and Javelin had my favorite costume and I like the weapon choice of spears and similar weaponry.
I loved this movie! So Good! Gunn was perfect for this movie. My favorite characters in this movie were: Poka-dot man, Ratcatcher 2, Rick Flagg, King Shark, Harley Quinn. One of my favorite moments in the movie was when that lady in the Office whacked Amada Waller unconscious, I was like "FINALLY! THANK YOU". I've wanted that to happen to Amanda Waller ever since I was first introduced to her in Justice League Unlimited.
I was disappointed they killed Captain Boomerang, especially so early. All I could think was "Great, now they can't use him as one of the Rogues in the Flash stuff."
First time seeing this trio review anything. Kind of a jarring combination of a braying sports morning show type, a genuine critic of movie materials with great insights, and a guy who's just happy to be here. How did this come together? Great stuff 😊
I think this one is in my top 10 comic movies list, only three of which are DC ones. This, Shazam and Phantasm. It's not on the same level as something like Spider-Verse but its a solid singular movie, with a tight story and it's own feel to it. I love that, and it entertained me start to finish. I was never bored of it, never groaning or thinking about what I want to eat. Never uncomfortable/awkward feeling. I liked who I was suppose to like, disliked who I should dislike, was sympathetic or apathetic to who I should be towards. Just... A real good F'ing movie. Also, Harley. This is the Harley I want in future projects. She was wonderful. Team her with Ivy and have them go on a wild chick flick slaughter spree trying to be good guys and failing hilariously. I'd buy that for two dollars.
The funny thing, I don't know if you'll mention it as this comment is like 5 minutes in, but there WAS a moment later where TDK would have been very useful after Peacemaker blew a hole in the truck
Cool movie i could watch King Shark plod about eating people all day...oh 1 question the woman who clocked Waller at the end to stop her blowing up heads...was she in the final scene in the office? Or is she in the next suicide squad ha
In the beginning of the movie when they are looking over the files they ask if Harley and boomer have worked together before. They said no. It’s a different earth
Zod, Ares, Steppenwolf and whatever DCCU villain that I missed had it pretty easy compared to Starro who got beaten, shot at, Lost his leg due to polkadots and then eaten alive. They massacred my boy⭐️💔
Hm. I dislike Pete on SNL but think his standup (albeit dark and ridden with childhood trauma) pretty decent. It seems like he's a decent dude with a lot of unchecked emotional issues. Which need to be solved going forward, but at this point are rather relatable. You know. In the fml type of way that we need to get over because we don't really want anyone to fuck our lives besides (at times) ourselves. 🤣😭🤣
I got a 16 minute scam video the other day. It was longer than the video I was trying to watch. Another time? 3 hour concert. Some orchestra or something. Vid I wanted to watch? I think it was a 15 minute review of something.
@@Bananahammock681 same! Ads for fake phone scams, lame music videos, or 30 min RU-vid originals. How do I turn it off?? I’ve tried changing my ad preferences constantly and it’s still the same crap.
If this guy reads comics he couldn't have guessed who Mongal is? It threw me off because she's Mongul level and there's no way she should be killed by a helicopter, but she's a minor villain so I really didn't care.
I liked the Captain Boomerang thing for different reasons than Sal. There were a lot of Suicide Squad apologists saying stuff like "well at least Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang turned out way better than expected!" So, seeing him as one of the first people to go was pretty satisfying if you just couldn't get into the 2016 movie, like me. 😁
