In 2016 WB put out Suicide Squad, written and directed by David Ayer.

It was met with mixed results but garnered enough praise/profits for it to get a sequel five years later. The new Suicide Squad, titled The Suicide Squad, is written and directed by James Gunn. It more-or-less takes place after the first film but with no real connective tissue besides the central cast/characters.

It just came out this weekend and, folks, it rules.
Its fun and colorful and gross and a great time.
It features:
Margot Robbie as Hot Topic, the girl you absolutely avoid at Halloween parties now
Idris Elba as First-Person-Shooter, the lead character of every PS3 FPS
John Cena as Serious Sam, the lead character of every 90's FPS
Daniela Melchior as Pied-Piper, the MVP of the film
With a bevvy of other actors/characters.
This thread can be open spoilers? Is that fine? Does that seem reasonable?
If so, lets talk about this cool movie.

The goddamn dick measuring contest between Bloodsport and Peacemaker at the rebel camp had me chortling despite how absolutely war-crimey it was and knowing what the punchline would be soon as it started.
Anyways when does his show come out?
Nobody likes a show-off
I also really liked Waller. Except for when she was threatening to blow up the squad for wanting to kill Starro. It's like, Waller, do you really want Starro just rampaging out in the open? I'm pretty sure that's a cataclysmic event that could destroy America. But she managed to do all the things that the first movie said she did, and with aplomb.
EDIT: Did anyone catch what Starro's last line was? I couldn't quite make it out.
This Starro could've been a gentle soul, but it got fucked up in the name of 'Murica
Said it was happy floating and staring at the stars
It clearly is. Several of the characters have interacted with each other. They are bad guys to do a mission. That's the end of connective tissue. Not like the first one left open threads to further explore.
Resurrect captain boomerang
honestly I was surprised they did it! like i said earlier, they swung hard
I think its easier to go real big with performances in a film like this, and thus get something like Margot Robbie has been delivering (which isn't a negative as to her performance). But having to go the other way from that, as to not suck up all the oxygen in the room? That's another stellar choice and one that I think both Daniela Melchior and David Dastmalchian did very well.
"They do when it's fucking awesome"
That whole exchange was great
Elba was expectedly great in this.
i appreciated that if they weren't gonna make her the wall, that they turned her into a straight up cartoon. her getting clocked ruled.
I don't thing america has reached the point where it is willing to accept a black fat women who takes no shit as absolutely right about everything
That movie fucking ruled
what
I mean I don't think America should have an intelligence/black ops director with unchecked powers shown as being always right
Wait…what?
I have one little quibble though
Harley had that javelin the entire movie and in the end, did nothing with it. Like I was ready for her to jump at its eye and spear it, and she sort of does, but instead she like...falls into the eye as if it was a pool of water? And the javelin just sort of disappears. Unless I missed something, like it popped the eye and allowed her and the rats to get in?
Yeah she pierced the eye with the javelin when she dove in
It was literally Chekovs gun.
The only other thing that hurt Starro was turned into paste thirty seconds earlier.
Come Overwatch with meeeee
The limp wet slapping sounds as his arms ineffectually smacked at people
His gruesome, stupid death

I understand this desire but DC has hundreds of other characters to utilize & expose new audiences towards, and I'd rather they introduced someone new instead of revived fan favorite.
I also appreciate the stance that Amanda Waller fucking sucks

I was really getting curious about his character. Like everyone else are getting bribed or forced into the mission, and most of them are just a bunch of psycho loons anyway.
And then you've got Rick, who has no powers, his coworkers are psychos, his boss is the absolute worst, and all hes getting in compensation is a salary... And he rather seems to like his job? And actually tries to get along with all the psychos?
Its Rick who was really the crazy one!
But then he dies so we dont really get to get into his head at all.

Speaking of, this the first time it felt like Harley being on team made sense and contributed anything - all her random chaotic bullshit added up to the win.
Absolutely loved how tired Bloodsport was.
Followed shortly afterwards by aaaaaagh rats!
For being a giant starfish Starro's body language was pretty readable as it went from like "the heck is that?" "Eww they're on my feet!" to "oh god they're eating my insides!!"
