Looks more like Arthur borrowed Ticks outfit, complete with muscle padding.

On the one hand this version of The Tick looks like poo poo, on the other hand the show is being produced by Ben Edlund who invented the character and drew the comics so I guess he's allowed to make him look like whatever he wants.Grendels Dad posted:I don't like this at all.

It's never even made clear whether he is wearing a costume or whether that's just what he looks like, his origin is never explained. In the comics he apparently escaped from a mental asylum, in the other versions he just turns up.

He looks better here, but you still get that weird 90's body horror vibe, I feel.

I kind of dig that he looks like a horrifying giant bugman of some sort. I'm interested to see how they play up the clash between what a horrifying superhero he looks like and what a mental case he is.

Suicide Squad review embargo is lifted today at noon EST. It's going to be interesting to see how it reviews. The first trailer had me really excited, but every subsequent marketing piece has filled me with dread. I'll end up seeing it regardless, but I hope we don't get another movie where the 10 minutes of Batman is by far the best part.

If the biggest complaint is "The Joker's not the same as the one from 8 years ago" I think it's going to be a good movie.

I suspect that Suicide Squad will not be for me. It looks like it's trying so hard to be edgy, which is more than a bit cringey. I'm sure the narrative could be solid and the pacing good and the story intriguing, but the characters look just on the wrong side of juvenile. Joel Kinneman has his gruff tough guy act artificially cranked up all the way, Will Smith looks like he's trying as hard as he can to look cool but ends up looking like Will Smith, and Margot Robbie's performance just seems obnoxious in all the trailers and TV spots so far to me. Not in that her character is supposed to be obnoxious to others around her, but that the "We're bad guys" and "Just kidding, that's not what the voices in my head said!" rub me entirely the wrong way. Then again, it's got a crocodile man who eats people and a literal witch and Jai Courtney drinking a beer in an alleyway in that one shot was amusing, so not writing it off entirely.

Judging from some of the snippets that have been released Leto's Joker may not be anywhere near the top of the list of problems. There are multiple other characters that I'm not sold on, but of course that's based on only a few short clips(that they decided to release in order to sell the movie).

What does backstory have to with anything? I don't think you actually know what characterization means. F&F is absolutely as popular as it is because of its characters, it's practically a superhero ensemble franchise at this point.

Ever since day 1 I've been low on Suicide Squad. The Joker reveal, the Ballroom Blitz trailer, all of it was transparently try hard. But I look forward to being proven wrong or right in an hour.

I also like how so much opinion is formed based off trailers and how hard they appear to be trying. Such criticisms will immediately evaporate once the movie comes out and nobody will ever mention the trailers again, just like in BvS. The real secret is stop watching trailers for any movies. Your enjoyment of movies as a whole will rise dramatically because you no longer have the unrealistic expectations that your average trailer imbues SolidSnakesBandana fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Aug 2, 2016 |

Suicide Squad reviews are starting to trickle in. Here's Empire's: http://www.empireonline.com/movies/suicide-squad/review/ "Like Avengers Assemble forced through a Deadpool mangle, Suicide Squad gives new life to DC’s big-screen universe. So bad-to-the-bone it’s good." 4/5 stars [edit] People are panicking over the RT score online again, hahaha. teagone fucked around with this message at 17:18 on Aug 2, 2016 |

When I was a kid, there was a commercial for some kind of play-doh type thing that was sparkly and had a sandy-type texture to it. I can't remember what it was called, but Tick's costume appears to be made out of it. That or paper mache. SolidSnakesBandana fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Aug 2, 2016 |

If the audience digs it it goes to series. The early reports for the show were confusing, saying that Warburton was going to be back, but later saying he was not in due to scheduling conflicts. Not sure if those stories were just wishful thinking or not. SolidSnakesBandana posted:This made me laugh really hard, thank you Floam.

If you're expecting a direct adaptation of any of the previous iterations, check those expectations now. Check out this interview for more. Anyway, despite that Empire review linked earlier most reviews seem to be fairly negative for Suicide Squad, calling it a mess beholden to corporate shared universe necessities and Snyder's stylings. Sounds like those "adding more action" reshoots they went back for made the 3rd act really bloated and cut down on their time to do proper service to character. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 17:34 on Aug 2, 2016 |
