The Suicide Squad: General Discussion and Speculation

As someone who really didn't like the film...I think it is a case where James Gunn on a film like this (where he can be bizarre and wacky) is something critics will love and praise. He has built up equity with them.

 

Maybe I'm wrong and I just haven't explored enough of his material, but it strikes me that there isn't much sincerity and verisimilitude in Gunn's work. Everything's picked for the purposes of getting the maximum amount of irony out of everything. Not a criticism or a point of praise, just an observation.
