Ayer Cut of Suicide Squad

WB looks pathetic and incompetent already, them releasing another alternate cut would make them "do-over: the studio".

I'll watch anything with Harley but I sincerely doubt much different and better version movie by Ayer exists

 

I really was into the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut movement, but cannot relate to this one.
As long as I would have preferred to see a more dark SS movie the movie has been totally directed by Ayer and the result is horrible.
What happened to JL was a hole different thing.

 

I see it the opposite way. They already look pathetic and incompetent and that's not changing anytime soon. I don't see an Ayer Cut releasing as adding to that, I'd honestly think that it would help their image. Admit they made mistakes with their meddling, give us the original visions and pledge to do better in the future.

 

Suicide Squad Editor Shares The Major Changes Made To David Ayer’s Version

Spoiler

It was well over a million feet of film that we shot for Suicide Squad, and it was such a big, big ensemble movie having so many characters that you have to introduce and set up their backstory and the end develop a camaraderie between them all. So, Suicide Squad was a challenge because we had so many characters and at some point we screened it for the studio and they wanted to take things in a different direction. [Warner Bros wanted the] origin of the characters to happen much closer to the beginning and insert a level of comedy into the film.

We ended up having to restructure how the characters were introduced. That was something that we toyed with right up until the movie was finished. In the original structure, the characters are kind of introduced in linear fashion and the way that it ended up, we spent the first 20 minutes like bam, here's this guy, bam, here's this person, here's their origin, here's their backstory. So we kind of shoved everything into the viewer's face right up front so that we could get the story going. Whereas in the original structure, it kind of happened in many events. So you're, you know, 45 minutes in the movie and now we're meeting this person and seeing their backstory. So we found a way to make the film more efficient as far as opening up and introducing all the characters.

 

I would like to ask someone who is a good 3D designer to TRY TO make David Ayer's STEPPENWOLF as a improved concept art like those made by Jerad Marantz who made Steppenwolf for Zack Snyder's Justice League:







Would anyone know why this version of Steppenwolf has WINGS???

I think we’ll end up seeing this version of the film at some point. It’s a no brainer to release it they stand to gain nothing but profit.

 

Maybe a few months after the Theatrical release of James Gunn's The Suicide Squad.

 

I think it’d probably be a little longer, if things get worse with the pandemic it could be sooner as they may want something to release while they would have to delay films again. I reckon it’d likely be early 2023 at the earliest though tbh.

 

Hopefully because to me its less about the movie itself and more about getting this whole thing out of the way, ending the chapter and all that.
It cant get worse than the whole thing with Snyder, if anything it solves a PR problem because people wont stop bringing this up since they already had success with the Snydercut.

Best to get this out and let that topic end.

 

I truly hope that at some point in the future, we get a tell all documentary about what the hell was going on at WB between 2012 and 2018.

The catastrophic mishandling of the DC IP across the board has got to be one of the biggest screw ups in Hollywood history.

 

This is what I really want to see. I have faith that there is a great movie hidden away. It is time to release the Ayer cut. **** Sarnoff.

 

I want to see it.

 

I tried rewatching this after TSS last night and forgot how bad it really was. Not sure how much a directors cut would improve it.

First, the use of pop culture songs is way over the top. It’s four different songs the first four scenes. It plays like a Thats What I Call Music album after someone saw GotG and wanted their own soundtrack. Except the songs don’t really add to the scenes but distract from them. Unless Ayer had an amazing score we didn’t hear, then I assume the soundtrack stays in.

Second, the story makes no sense. Waller proposes getting a bunch of metahumans together for missions. But then recruits Boomerang who is just a common thief, and Harley who has a pyscho boyfriend?

Hi, here’s Slipknot. His super power is climbing a rope. We didn’t even bother doing a backstory for him because it’s obvious he’s a sacrificial lamb.

Here’s Katana who isn’t even a villain but we wanted someone with a sword.

Diablo spends a day with these people and has a “We are Groot” moment.

And every time Leto is on screen, it’s the opposite of seeing Ledger. I want to turn away and wish he’d hurry up and leave.

So yeah, unless the director’s cut completely changes these story choices, I don’t see much of an improvement.

 

* The Theatrical Cut was edited by Trailer Park, the Original was edited by Lee Smith, who in past had worked on movies like Dunkirk, Inception, The Dark Knight, 1917, Spectre, X Men First Class. So, better editing .

* The Ayers Cut contains no songs.

* Original score by Steven Price is not drowned out by Songs.

* The part where Harley Quinn was mentioned as an accomplice to Robin's murder was added by Geoff Johns in the Theatrical Cut, no mention of that in the Original version.

* Characters and their back story is more fleshed out in the Original version.

The first photo released by Ayer of Arkham Asylum, it gives entirely different vibes to what we saw on screen.
