David Ayer's Academy Award winning "Suicide Squad"

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Re: DC's "Suicide Squad" (August 5th, 2016)

Oh the soldiers fared better against the monsters than Harley? I guess I stand corrected then...

If you want to believe that makes any sense...cool, bro. What was her skill again? Oh right, she can use a gun and a bat.

Make sense? Who said anything about making sense? If a real martial artist actually grabbed a bunch of grappling gear and put on a bat costume and tried to attack gun toting criminals in alleys and on rooftops he'd be dead in less than a week in real life (or if he's lucky simply caught by cops and put in jail.) Who goes to these movies to watch things that make sense?

That's why I quoted T2 with the whole "in an insane world" line. These are movie rules we're talking about, and all SS had to do was show that Harley prevailed where the soldiers could not to maintain its own internal logic. And it did.

Even by movie logic this fails miserably. I won't argue the obvious anymore, so if you think this team is effective against an ancient god, cool. You like the film...no big surprise there.

. . . . keep it from being another Batman Begins or Civil War . . .

Batman Begins has a stupid vapor and microwave emitter plot. By the movie's logic, if someone in Gotham boils their water and accidentally inhales it, they should start spazzing out in fear. Not to mention people are mostly made up of water. The Wayne's leaving an elite establishment like an Opera house through a back side door into an alleyway is also kinda dumb. Why does Ra's claim that Bruce left him for dead when Wayne clearly saved his life from the explosion, fire and falling? The villager he leaves him with even tells Bruce that he'd tell Ra's that Bruce saved his life.

Civil War, Iron Man black mails a kid into fighting for him after he feels responsible for the death of that woman's son. He puts another kid in danger to fight a battle he wasn't even really needed for after preaching to the team that the Avengers have been reckless. Zemo's plan hinges on Tony Stark following Cap and Bucky and seeing a video of Winter Soldier killing his mom and dad (also, the Starks didn't have tighter security?) Why didn't the all powerful Vision accompany the Avengers on their mission to Siberia?

Idk what movie you saw but batman certainly did not "fight" doomsday.

Yeah, he mostly just narrowly escaped being killed several times and took a couple pot shots from a distance while WW and supes whooped up on him.

Clown Prince are you in blind "follow the sheep" mode? Hmm? Maybe a little?

"Effective" is a relative term.

Spoiler:

The team actually was COMPLETELY ineffective at destroying Incubus. They literally couldn't take him with their powers and skill sets. But that wasn't their job. They were sent to simply protect the soldiers from the goons and distract Incubus while the bomb was delivered. And they were expected to die in the process.

It can. I've actually taken Kung Fu classes and do you know what? One of the first things they teach you is that speed ALWAYS trumps belt color. If her technique is **** but she's faster than everyone guess what. She'll win.

Your passive aggressiveness is hilarious when you try to defend something you like

They did beat the main villain...and only one character was actually somewhat useful. Not to mention the all powerful ancient god using H2H combat with the crappy team of anti heroes because...bad writing. They should have used a better team of characters to go up against Enchantress. Maybe you'll get it one day

Were you wearing high heels too?

That was Lesson #2: High heels and short shorts trump less restricting attire.

Short shorts can work as a distraction.
