Who dies? (It's called Suicide Squad for a reason)

[Guts]

My own take on the matter:


-Rick Flagg: 50/50. He really *should* be safe, given he's a major character in the comic, and logically the team needs to have *someone* like him leading it, so killing him off would be stupid and pointless. Plus, he was originally going to be played by Tom Hardy. However, its plausible they've decided to make Deadshot the team leader in the future ( illogical as this is ), and his relationship with Enchantress puts something of a death pendulum above them both. Plus, he's the boring good guy in a movie of charismatic villains.

Flagg did die in the comics. So if he doesn't die in this movie then maybe he will die in the sequel.

I realize that. Its just that, for the Suicide Squad concept to work, you really need *somebody* in the Rick Flagg role of "honest soldier keeping the team in line." If you kill Rick, you need to replace him with someone else serving basically the same function. . . at which point, if your basically just swapping in Rick Flagg 2.0, why bother in the first place? Bearing in mind that its a movie or three, not an ongoing comic, so doing a "Rick Flagg off the rails" plot would pretty much have to be the entirety of a movie.

I just can't really see it, unless they intend to swap Deadshot into the role against reason.

So its [blackout]Slipknot, Enchantress' brother and Enchantress the witch spirit.

I thought they would kill one of those Task Force X that made it to the final act, especially when they were up against Enchantress, maybe a death scene for one of them could have a bigger impact to the climax. Slipknot's death was really sloppy, and I was like "oh thats why he didn't get a segment at the start".[/blackout]
