They're probably gambling on the already disastrous and in need of a reboot DCU running for a long time and don't want there to always be the gross subtext of Harley being a Stockholm syndrome victim of shaggy 2dope, which is probably the first and last good decision they've made.

I'm also really curious now about how this'll resonate with the fangirls. Will they still love a non-abusive Joker? Or is that pert of the charm.

Isn't a huge part of Harleys character the fact that she's a tragic Stockholm victim? Lol nah lets just cut that part of her character out cuz that's yucky.

Gutcruncher posted:Isn't a huge part of Harleys character the fact that she's a tragic Stockholm victim? Sort of? IIRC she was a psychiatrist who went crazy dealing with Arkham patients, and the Joker was just so insane she followed his lead. But I'm sure someone will say some weirdo MRA writer changed the backstory in issue 1154 so she was raped by the Joker for 10 years until she finally cracked because comic books are loving awful.

Xenomorph, you're a smart dude and I appreciate your posts. Don't let the cineD idiots get you down. Have we decided who dies first in suicide squad? It's gotta be knottyman right?

PERSONALLY I like the narrative of Harley being a psychiatrist who fell in love with the craziest dude in Arkham and decided to let loose and go a little crazy herself, rather than the Joker loving torturing Harley until she broke and went insane and then (???) fell in love with him

Drunken Baker posted:It seems multiple scenes from SS have been cut. Namely any scene that shows Joker abusing Harley. Slapping her, the torture sequence etc. I'm wondering if they were cut for moral reasons or if they wanted to push their romance without the weird kink stuff. I guarantee you that these played out a lot worse than they intended once the film was in post and some editors/directors went 'yeah naaaaaaah' imagining the shitstorm that would ensue from the media Like I get that they prolly went for typical comic Joker/Harley thing maybe even pushing for slapstick but in life action it just made everyone really uncomfortable about putting it in a movie meant to be more fun and lighthearted Gutcruncher posted:Isn't a huge part of Harleys character the fact that she's a tragic Stockholm victim? Her character is she was a therapist at Arkham and got a little toooo interested in the patients and went nuts herself. Sure there's prolly some undertext of Stockholm in there but you don't need scenes of Joker abusing Harley to get to that.

Enchantress is the villain. 95% chance of death. Katana is unbelievably disposable. Ethnic actor. 90% chance of death. Rick Flag is a disposable good guy. 75% chance of death. Killer Croc requires a practical effects budget. Ethnic actor. 50% chance of death. El Diablo requires cheap effects. Ethnic actor. 30% chance of death. Captain Boomerang is a semi-popular character from the villain-desert Flash comics, played by a waning flavor of the month actor. 25% chance of death. Will Smith won't do a sequel but he's Will Smith so he'll probably walk off into the sunset. Harley/Robbie is under contract. Joker/Leto is under contract. Batfleck and The Flash obviously won't die.

I would also give Rick Flag a no-zero chance of death, just because he's the audience insert character for white males. Killer Croc and Katana will likely survive since they're Batman characters, so under 50%. Enchantress will redeem herself somehow so I give her 50%.

A few sites reported recently that Smith will be coming back for the sequel next year and Robbie will be in a spinoff with a bunch of other female DC characters but they based that off "unnamed sources" and pointed out that "Warner Bros. isn’t commenting". Possibly because they're bullshit internet rumours and no one bothered to ask WB.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_Squad_(film)#Sequel

there's a lot about suicide squad that i find strange, but i think the fact that Will Smith is still actually in it is the craziest thing Tom Hardy was clever to escape this mess of 12 characters

Tom Hardy is frankly too good and handsome to be in a movie with poo poo tier idiots like Jai Courtney and Jared Leto. Especially if he has to play second fiddle to a Shyamalan alumni.

I thought this WAS the Suicide Squad thread. Joker is absolutely a dick to Harley, but you don't need to refilm Hostel to get that across.

Hopefully Leto either goes Ledger and dies from shooting demerol into his dick, or goes Romero and just does the character under contract but refuses to shave or work late so he just becomes a bit part.

To be fair Tim Burton and Chris Nolan are overrated as hell in hindsight and all they ever really tried was Batman which is the pumpkin spice latte of superheroes for basic bastard boys. Batman is so flexible that while those guys did good work even a remarkably hack director like Snyder and mediocre actor like Affleck ( I like the guy a lot but it's true, he's a way better director than anything) can make him work. This is from someone who looks back on both avengers movies and thinks that whedon succeeded in spite of himself, mind you. I'm not looking to poo poo on Warner Brothers in particular. Suicide squad will clean up and Margot Robbie is going to make stupid amounts of money once Warner Brothers and her agent realize she's the only thing they've got that is 100% working across all demographics. I've never been a big harley fan but I get the appeal and Robbie seems to get what her job is. The rest of the movie looks like garbage. It honest to god looks like David Ayer couldn't afford a full lighting set up. Say what you will about the marvel movies looking basic but even in their physically darkest movies you didn't have to squint to get a sense of what characters are on screen. Hell even Bryan Singer doesn't fall prey to that in his Xmen movies and he's worse than Snyder. I'm still laughing at big Willie style in this though. I'd kill to be the fly on the wall of his trailer as he had to relearn how to not be the center of a movie's attention.

The first death is Slipknot. Boomerang does that thing in the comic and convinces him the bombs are a bluff and his head explodes.
