If that is the case, then the magic weakness is non-existent. If the magic weakness *does* exist, then it very much indeed matters whether the fire is being generated by the power of a magical being or not.

Not necessarily. For example if you use magic to make water, its still water you're producing is it not regardless if magic was used to make it? Or does it do something that regular H20 does not? There's no reason to believe the fire Diablo has is any different from regular fire.

Question for everyone am I the only one who hated BvS but loved and enjoyed Suicide Squad.

I like it better than both versions of BVS but that is not a very high bar to jump or even step over.

 

[DeadStroke]

Hopefully we see more of Joker's gang in future films.

Even though a couple of them died.

The second one from left look like Carnage.

So there mission was to retrieve Amanda Waller? And a team of highly trained soldiers couldn't do that... Why?

What was the plan for Enchantress and Incubus? I must have missed it.

I assumed the reason they sent in Task Force X was because they were required to kill civilians. Mutated civilians, but civilians. That sort of thing needed to be off the book--and the civvies were superpowered, so a little beyond a normal military unit.

...But then the film never bothered to confirm either of those assumptions. Hell, it didn't even bother explaining why the hell Harley Quinn was on the team. If Superman was a bad guy you'd send in... baseball bat girl?

As far as I could gather there was no plan for Enchantress and Unnamed Villain. But then, the entire plot seemed incidental to the film. I couldn't believe the stupidity of showing me snippets of the "set up" where Enchantress took the city, and then revealing those exact same snippets as if they were a "twist" later.

I guess that's what happens when you hand a film to a trailer studio.

 

[Reek]

second from the left... the flayed man??? interesting.

 

[Guts]

It's a shame that White Phil died.

Suicide quad is, without question, a more poorly constructed film (on almost every level), but I don't harbour a visceral hatred of it, as I do for BVS.

BVS's content was offensive to me on a fundamental level, such that nothing short of a different film could have corrected that problem.

Suicide Squad, while deeply stupid, woefully incomplete, and ineptly put together, was at least fun to watch.

 

[Sleiek]

Gotta say that Deadshot Character bio card scene like it's ripped straight out of one of the cartoon/comic posters with bullet shells raining on him while he is posing. Don't care about the practicality of it because IT LOOKED ****ING AWESOME in live action. GLORIOUS.

I support the above message. It's funny how BVS does cause such a negative reaction from me. It's just that I deeply care about these characters and they have been mistreated.

I see you replied again so in your mind I clearly must have offered up something you had not "disproved".

I just replied to your deplorable attempt to twist my Stalin reference, because I enjoy pulling legs off spiders. All the rest you said was such repetitive nonsense I couldn't be bothered.

As Willow would say, "bored now."

 

[Sleiek]

And here we go again, a bunch of BvS complaints on the Suicide Squad thread.

 

[Quasimod0]

Did anyone else laugh at that super random moment where Rick Flagg was eating fried chicken by the hotel window?

 

[Guts]

Ayer is trying to tell us that Suicide Squad needs it's own Theon Greyjoy or Rickety Cricket. Joker could have had that role.

In the middle of the night as well.

Please don't get bored... this is exciting.

Your logic is sound.

LOL! Thank you. I'm so glad I wasn't the only one.

 

[Boom]

I mean the superpowered civvies theory goes out the window the second Harley is able to take one out with a baseball bat. What did any of the squad do to the eyeball monsters that heavily armed soldiers couldn't do? If anything, more guys with guns would've been more efficient than people with bats, swords, boomerangs, and whatever the hell Slipknot was supposed to contribute.

And the entire city was evacuated, so it's not like keeping this mission a secret would be all that tough. So why did it matter if they used Task Force X or SEAL Team 10? Though I'm not exactly clear on why rescuing a high-ranking government official from a hot zone needed to be a secret at all.

I don't know. He looks more like he came from Attack on Titan. I do like the look of his henchmen (I wonder were the Batman henchmen is?)


Sleiek, I know what you mean!t:t:

Ha, fair.

Well, like I said, they were killing civilians. You not only need people whose actions are completely deniable, but who are also okay with doing that. Or, at least that's where I assumed the story was going once it was revealed they were murdering civilians en masse. They didn't bother actually going there, though, because the film is incompetent.

I never noticed the pinhead guy in the movie.

I can't quit thinking about that sweet orchestral portion of Gangsta lol damn it

As if we are all above the occasional late night snack

I quite liked the whole acoustics of that scene. I would normally abhor modern music (especially with lyrics) being played behind such an integral moment, but it truly fit the lovingly twisted dynamic between the two.
