Suicide Squad: General Discussion and Speculation - - - Part 20

if a weak villain hasn't hurt the mcu then we shall be all good

I know that, you know that.

Lets hope critics treat Suicide Squad the same...

Critics do love that

 

[AbradolfLincler]

Considering the nature of this film, I think they probably mean "a weak antagonist".

Surely, if the protagonists of this film are resonating with audiences, then we have a ratio of 8 strong villains to 1 weak villain.

 

[Victarion]

The villains in the comics haven't been that memorable. Cool powers, but nothing to write home about.

But then again, Bane was my favorite Nolan Bat villain. So I may well end up liking SS's if it plays out like I'm guessing it will.

 

[OutOfBoose]

Sounds strange in a film full of villains.

Does anyone know any movies in recent times that got bad reactions at test screenings?

 

[Greens]

The weak villain thing doesn't surprise me, with all the great villains as protagonists. The subway monster stuff never really jived with me.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

I can already feel the nightmares I'm going to have over that Rick Ross song with Joker in the music video. Jesus.

 

[AnneFan]

I agree with this.

 

[brandeezy89]

As long as the movie is great then i don't care about the villain. The whole movie is about villains anyways

Really not bothered about a "weak villain" when people seem to be resonating a lot with the protagonists... who are also villains.

Also, we don't actually know the length of the movie, do we? Or did I miss that?

I'm more a fan of the concept that we have something infernal as a villain as opposed to another extraterrestrial.

Let's hope. But I won't be surprised if they use this against the film

But SS has so many villains. Depending on your point of view, amanda waller could be a villain to the other villains. t:

If the villain is genuinely a weak aspect of the film, why shouldn't critics "use" it in their reviews? Their job is to weigh the pros and cons.

you and me both, brother.... just why?
Why just not use already seen footage from the movie?

Because it's so cheesy it's fun. Come on, this is THE character to do this with. It harkens back to when Freddy Krueger appeared in that music video.

 

[matt47]

lol yeah I'd love to see Joker doing some singing. Hell have him singing "I started a joke"!

 

[Victarion]

It reminds me of the Prince thing Joker did in b89. Harmless, campy fun.

 

[Greens]

Skrillex should make Batdance part 2.

 

[Aquafinn90]

hmmm I was/am pretty excited for Enchantress actually, so its disappointing to hear she's a "weak link"

I also wonder how much WB can/will change the movie based on these reactions. It's not like theres time for more reshoots...I guess it comes down to editing

 

[OutOfBoose]

Without going into spoilers, Enchantress is a weak link why? Acting or plot?

Thats the big unknown really

I realize I am only going off one line but I quite like her delivery of "let's do something fun"

 

[Victarion]

Do we know if Joker and Harley shoot up a nightclub, or do they gas it?

Where the **** are these pics coming from?

this guy's so lucky, the best extra job ever.
