Suicide Squad: General Discussion and Speculation - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Part 32

[Cats]

That was literally the only story thread this film had to the Snyderverse, and it's ultimately the one which completely crumbles the entire concept. Had they simply focused on how to make SS work in and of itself without tying into BvS, they would have been better off.

The scene with the man selling shirts was enough to tie in BvS in my opinion. And maybe just a vague note about the Superheroes being preoccupied with something else.

 

[KillerWolf]

So why did they need the others if they had the Enchantress? She could have handled pretty much any situation on her own.

So that Will Smith could give a suicide squad line, instead of:

"So that's it huh? She's some kind of enchanted hoe?"

 

[Boom]

a contingency, for what eventually happens in the movie - her going rogue ?

But then these guys are able to take down the character that was supposed to be able to take down Superman?

It's flat nonsense.

 

[Jekecy]

We are back to square one in that they are literally ants compared to anyone remotely on Superman's power levels.

Contrived events in the film notwithstanding.

 

[Boom]

Yeah. I guess Enchantress had a colossal brain fart at the end and forgot that she, you know, had magical powers and stuff.

She could've vaporized the squad without giving it a second thought, but instead she engages in hand-to-hand combat with them? Why?

 

[PacificBoy]

Didn't bother me as I enjoyed the squad, but the writing for Waller's reasoning for assembling the team could be better. For handling Superman-level threats and combating the meta-armies of rival powers, she picks an insane criminal queen pin in Harley and a step-up from street criminal in Boomerang. It undercuts an otherwise great performance and character in Viola Davis' Waller.

 

[RadioSha]

I love that man selling the Supes t-shirts. Felt very real.

 

[tanita_mors]

why are you peps looking for logic where non is ???

 

[Spiderine]

She was so busy doing the tootsie roll dance she didn't have time to vaporize them.

 

[tanita_mors]

she was totally coping queen of the damned, body rolls, hand waves and all

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

Lol when she was like moving her arms around, I couldn't help but hide my amusement...seriously? I bet her arms were sooo goddamn sore after...all that arm flailing around.

 

[KillerWolf]

she was totally coping queen of the damned, body rolls, hand waves and all

Yeah, that's the impression I got as well.

 

[samsnee]

In case anyone wants to see what Enchantress looked like at the end

Spoiler

I liked it, a nice touch. Reminded me of Spiderman 2.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

Well...I might as well laugh out loud now cause...oh man, funny s***.

 

[tanita_mors]

the only thing that saved it for me from going into complete ridiculousness was that enhanced voice they gave her and the fact she spoke a language i didn't understand.

btw, was that a known language or did they invent some crap.

 

[Artorias]

I wonder why we haven't seen or heard anything from Geoff Johns in the past week (or even weeks) since he is basically DC's Feige now, you would think he would be out there talking up the film.

I just hope him, Berg and the rest of the DCEU brainstrust are taking a long hard look at what is happening and finally are starting to get it so they don't mess up WW and Justice League.

 

[MyDudeSpidey]

After having watched this film, I seriously have no idea how the hell it's at a 26 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Not deserving of that at all imo.

A interview from last year said that Cara would spend time in the makeup chair by working on the voice for Enchantress. I think you can hear it in the Bohemian Rhapsody trailer with that "Lets have some fun" line. Either nobody told her that the voice would be edited in post or editing her voice was a last minute thing.

What would you give the film on a scale of 1-10

He may now be president of DC Entertainment but there wasn't an announcement that WB is putting DC Entertainment in charge of the movies. So I wouldn't say that Geoff is DC's Kevin Feige.

Well if he's not then what the hell?????

He's supposed to fix this nonsense!

Geoff has some creative control with the movies but the WB execs can still get involved with the movies and change them.

agreed, I think it belongs right below Man of Steel, like in the 45-50 range.

 

[Loki882]

Yeah there is no Kevin Feige-type who oversees all of the DC films. There's several people, who all have input, and the chain of command is muddled.

Also add me to the list of those who found Enchantress's posing/dancing goofy. IDK if it was meant to creepy, or sexy/alluring, or whatever. But it was none of those things, it was just ridiculous (and not in a good way).
