I still can't get over how brilliantly the scene transitions and title cards in The Suicide Squad captured the feel of a comic book, just one of the many things that makes it easily make my top five comic book film list. Plus no weak links in the characters, I remembered my friends and I talking about how any one member of the team being someone's favourite was hard to argue with. For me though Polka-Dot Man stole the show, great performance, fun practical effects and man I can't remember the last time I cared that much about a character death in a comic book film.
@rennythespaceguy7285
@rennythespaceguy7285 2 ай бұрын
I think Polka dot man's story is made all the more powerful by the fact that it's sorta metatextual. Until this movie he was only ever treated as a joke past his debut, anyone who knew him knew him as a joke and he'd get brutalised or killed whenever he'd show up with very few exceptions and the readers were never supposed to care. In a way, far more than any other character who's been given arcs like this in different stories, Polka dot man was a character who didn't have a reason to live as the text he was in never cared for him, him finally being able to see himself as having worth before he dies is so powerful because neither the writers or most readers saw him as having a purpose and despite that he found one himself. I love that the final note for the character is ratcatcher keeping that fragment of his costume because it shows that he managed to make at least one person care about him

Hot Take: I think Peacemaker is the best thing James Gunn has done with the superhero genre, based on him merging his own style and the genre tropes and the runtime given for him to explore the characters.

It seems like so many content creators like to feed off of negativity and drama, because humans are naturally pulled towards that stuff. It's like junk food for the brain. But when you realize it's not helping, that it's pulling you down with it, and what truly helps you feel better and improve yourself is positivity, you can unlearn that vicious cycle of being drawn to negativity all the time. I used to be subscribed to a lot of drama youtubers and now I rarely watch that stuff. Plus I try to not get drawn into the negativity of the world around me that's constantly pushed into your face in the news and social media. I try to focus on my own little slice of life, what I can control, what I can improve. It really does help. I think most people now a days are stuck in this vicious cycle of negativity and drama pulling them down and that's all they see in the world and so it just feeds into them feeling awful and depressed. Sorry for the rambling comment. Just stay safe ya'll and focus on the positives, however small those may seem. Try to improve your own sphere of influence one little thing at a time. If we all did that, the world would become a much better place. Not to say this is a cure all, but it definitely helps and is a step in the right direction. Enjoy the positives in life, because unlike what the media and people try to tell you, there's a lot in our modern world that has improved for the better and can help bring you joy and meaning!

A sigh is the minimum reaction the whole Batgirl situation can generate, you don't just nuke a pretty much already made 90 million dollar movie that sounded better than at least a third of what WB released with the DC IP. You can't convince me that Batgirl would've ruined DC as a brand when these guys released movies like Catwoman.

The tone for that film would be confusing for audiences. Her costume looks like a cartoon, but it’s supposed to be in the dark and scary part of the DCEU. And they probably thought that the race swap made her unrecognizable to comic fans. Which isn’t her defining characteristic, but it adds to the confusion. At least that’s what I think the SUITS at WB thought when they cancelled it.
@jayjohnscreations
@jayjohnscreations 2 ай бұрын
​@marcamusprime9513 I would buy that the suits would think something like that. Don't forget that the film was supposed to release post The Flash and feature Micahel Keaton as the default universe Batman. Then they decided to walk back that decision, removing Michael from The Flash's ending and his cameo in Aquaman 2. I'm guessing he was a bit more than a cameo in Batgirl meaning reshoots would cost more than the budget allowed, so they crunched the numbers and decided it would be more financially viable to just scrap it for taxes. Thing is they didn't even need to walk back the Keaton thing cause they were rebooting by the end of that same year, so it wouldn't matter anyway

Margot is extremely talented, but Birds of Prey shouldn’t have been a birds of prey movie in the first place. Just call it Harley, don’t call Cassandra Cain “Cassandra Cain”, and I might’ve been more onboard. But I didn’t really dig the Black Canary’s fight style (an aspect of the character that matters), or Helena’s characterization. Harley and Ewan McGregor’s Black Mask was fun though.

Bingo, done. I’ve been very critical of ZS ever since BvS and retroactively man of steel I felt BvS dropped the potential ball I thought could’ve redeemed MoS. Despite my problems with his take on DC, I genuinely enjoyed his JL. But the slowmo, the chanting during the slow mo, the future segment. It’s like he was so close. There was no reason it had to be 4 hours. The part where the villagers sing as Aquaman walks into the ocean, I was super scared the movie was going to be the worst. I think he just needed someone to mitigate some of the pretentiousness.

Praise for The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker has been dealt en masse so I want to appreciate the appreciation of Birds Of Prey. I told everyone to go watch it and that it was great but few people listened and it's so validating to hear it praised as it deserves.

The Dim Mak scene was a central scene for the SS movie to me. Everything about the team's chemistry put into simplistic form.

Birds of Prey was mislabeled. It should have just been Harley Quin. I would have preferred a Mad Love movie though.

According to Variety, BOP was budgeted between $82-100 million, and factoring in marketing and distribution, and it's break even point was $250 million. (Theaters get half of the box office). It made $205 million. It lost money.

It’s funny after a rough start they generally seemed to find their footing with Wonder Woman(step in the right direction), Aquaman(Saturday morning cartoon), Shazam(charming), Birds of Prey(underrated), Snyder’s JL(by far the best of his trilogy flaws and all), The Suicide Squad(the best) and Peacemaker(better than any marvel Disney + show). Yea there were some rough spots(JL and WW 2), but they were honestly looking better than Marvel for a brief time.

I feel like everyone has Stockholm Syndrome with the Snyder cut of Justice League, yes it made more sense than the theatrical cut, but 4 hours for that story is crazy and the two scenes where Joker talks to Batman and Batman talks to Martian Manhunter are worse than anything int the theatrical cut by far.

Going back to the discussion of Harley’s close in birds of prey, the worst part of suicide squad is that they made literally the best Harley Quinn suit that could’ve possibly been made and then had her wear a boring red dress for 95% of the movie. I also really liked Kristen Wigg as cheetah it was my favorite part of the movie but I get it kind of clashes tonally

How did they not animate a more believable shockwave for a stone structure hitting the ground next to people? That impact would took folks off their feet

I'm glad to hear someone celebrating Harley Quinn. I loved that movie but never knew any of all the BTS production, no wonder. Those "second phase" post JL films, Shazam, Harley, and Aquaman, along with Wonder Woman, really felt like they were achieving the WB/DC pitch of director driven movies to make movies that were creatively unique and different yet I could see all functioning in the same world. Very comic book. To me it was looking like a promising future.

My biggest gripe was that after the snyder era (MoS to 2019's Aquaman), there was a huge tonal shift in DCEU movie. after 2019, all of the movies felt like a rip-off of a MCU movie. People were already started to become bore of MCU style movies at that time. DCEU failed to capitalize that. Instead joined the league of mediocre safe superhero movies we are getting now.

My big problem with shazam was the disconnect between asher angel's moody teen and zach levi's man child performance. Levi's billy actually felt much more immature than asher's billy. Both performances were great in their own right but never felt like the same character.
