Spoilers Suicide Squad - Grading & Discussion
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
A handy excuse from a movie studio that's made thirteen movies (with a fourteenth coming soon), each and every single one of which star white men. I love the MCU, but their movie diversity record doesn't exactly give them much credibility here.
Maybe we should reserve our indignation for the hundreds of millions of Chinese denied basic speech, religious, and political rights by their authoritarian government, rather than the fact that our mega-budget popcorn flicks are being tweaked to appease their censors. Despite what the movies playing at our multiplexes may suggest, the world doesn't always revolve around us Western geeks.

That's kind of what I'm getting at, it's become so matter of fact that we now just drily discuss just how we can best censor movies to appease that authoritarian government.
We?
Is anyone here getting a cut of the box office?
The only benefit we get from China adding to the Body Odour is the now near certainty of a sequel.
Although on the flip side, it means that movies that don't get into China maybe don't get sequels.
I looked up the four minutes of extra footage in Iron Man 3.
Not English.
Just a man and a woman washing their hands before surgery.
"Sigh"

I hope this motivates WB to commit to a JL Dark film. That would be awesome.
SS is now sitting at #8 of the top 10 highest grossing films of 2016. Pushing past Kung Fu Panda 3, X-Men Apocalypse (which is sitting at #10) and the Chinese film The Mermaid. SS still has markets to open in overseas too. Germany and Japan being the biggest two left.
No more June.
No more enchantress.
it's not that she wasn't enchanting, it's that I hate it when they have to bend a sequel over backwards to bring back a dead character to the fore.
"Yes, this is June's twin sister April. She has a thing for taking her sister's boyfriends, so watch it Flag."

Gandalf returned, why not Enchantress? Magic is magic. I don't think anything is out of the realm of the possible if magic exists in that universe. But in the end, just give me any magic user vs Superman. It's something that hasn't been done on film before.
I've seen this movie twice, but had to read just now that El Diablo died in the end.
I must have just assumed that he fell over and was going to get up in a bit.
My bad.
More readings are saying that June is a magical container.
Which means that the Enchantress, after getting "killed" can come back in a different body, or June can have the Enchantresses powers without having the enchantresses personality in tow.

No harm done. And I too didn't realize Diablo died until some time later. Just be sure to have your power ring charged. We may need it. Damn magic users...
Also, Batman Begins already did it.
His mind is in touch with the Chaos Dimension. This gives him extra-sensory insight (nice and vague) but has driven him mad like a character from a Lovecraft story.
Most of the people I've shared drinks with in actual cantinas have never heard of Star Wars. The clientele on this world also makes the clientele in Star Wars look like something from a swanky reality television program.
Wow. That link tells me a few things. Box Office is definitely not an indication of the quality of a film. Man of Steel and Batman V Superman must have made the execs very happy in both cases. DC has put out a LOT of crap over the years.
Or "Flag Raising"?
They also changed The Mandarin, so this isn't the first time they've changed an Asian character to avoid stereotypes.
I know it's probably not what you mean, but we are already getting JLD movie.
Perhaps more relevant is the fact that Harley Quinn stabbed the Enchatress with Katana's sword, ie, the sword that captures the souls of its victims. Seems like a pretty obvioius setup for bringing her back in a sequel to me. In fact, given how absolutely no use was made of Katana's character at all and the fact that she, as a character, doesn't even fit into this group conceptually to start with, it would not surprise me at all to learn that the sword and its usefulness was literally the only reason the character was even included.
