Struggles of Being a Marvel Fangirl

Suicide Squad w/spoilers

Suicide Squad is by far probably DC's best movie so far next to the Dark Knight Trilogy. (Which is really one really long movie cut into parts). Lets get right in shall we. It opens up at the prison where Deadpool, Harley, So Diablo and Killer Croc are held. Only Deadpool, Harley Quin and, Killer Croc are shown in this scene though and right off the bat we can tell just how poorly they get treated.

Next we have Amanda Waller who you would never want to get mad. (I honestly think she should have died but that's just me...but really why didn't she die.) Walter introduces her plan for "Task Force X" to her other government buddies. She convinces them and we head into the basic plot of the movie. We are soon introduced to June Moone/ Enchantress and Rick Flag. They are dating in the movie which I personally thought was cute. They had a nice relationship it added some nice points to the movie.

Some back stories are provided and we are able to see Joker in Harely's. They use the tradiotional origin story of Harley being Harleen Quinzel who is supposed to help Joker recover but ends up falling for him instead. (I mean with a face like that I would too. ...I may need help...) Walter describes them as the "King and Queen of Gotham. And God help whoever disrespects the Queen." I really liked this portrayl of Joker because it showed how he was abusive (when he let her basically drown in the river) but that he was really protective of her (killing a man because he "stole" Harley, jumping into the acid after her because he KNEW she couldn't swim, BREAKING HER PUT OF THE HIGJEST SECURITY PRISON. The list could go one because in almost every scene we see him in (and that's not a lot. Its a max of 20mins in an almost 2hr movie.) he's trying to get Harley back. #Dedication.

I personally like their relationship but that's for another time. Anyway....so they whole team forms which is Deadpool, Harley, Slipknot, Captain Boomerang, El Diablo, Katana, Rick Flag and, Killer Croc. They said Enchantress is part of the team which she was supposed to be. But she wasn't about that life so she went into this whole "take over the world mood". Walter promised the Suicide Squad 10 years off their prison sentence if they sucessed with the mission. 10 years off what I don't know. I always thought they automatically had life in prison. Maybe not. Maybe of depends on the person and the crime. I don't know. All I know is that they get 10 years off.

I really liked Enchantress. She was a very good villain. She had a goal and she was going to carry it out because humans betrayed her and her brother. I liked the graphic with her powers. I liked her personality. I just liked her. She was good. Cara Delevingne did really good.

They had some fighting scenes. Slipknot was killed off before anything even happened by Flag because he was trying to escape along with Captian Boomerang. (Who also should have died with his annoying self. Like no one liked him anyway. Or may be you do my bad. I just really didnt him all. Always drinking an Arizona Ice Tea behind a car.)

So Diablo refuses to fight until maybe the last 15 or so minutes of the movie. He has fire powers and they fuel off his emotions and power. So if he gets too angry he could basically burn everything down. He doesn't want to hurt anyone so he just kinda stands there like that one loner kid at a party his friend dragged him to but lost the friend. He liked being with Killer Croc though. They seemed to be really good friends through out the movie. Speaking of Killer Croc...was he anyone else's spirit animal because he sure was mine. "Not be honey. I'm beautiful." same Croc same. "I live underground. You guys are just tourist." I loved him. And he seemed very happy with his tv at the end of the movie.

Deadpool added a good since of comedy to the movie along with some seriousness. I really liked his character. I felt that I could relate to him. He was just so much fun and he knew he was the best and if anyone crossed him they'd die and he was not kidding.

Harley got to be kinda this "independent woman" during the movie where she could handle her own just fine (flashback to that elevator scene) but still wanted a man to call her own. (Flash back to that helicopter scene that no one saw coming.) I want to say that in this movie she was a good role model but then that might raise some eyebrows so lest just say...she took the phrase "independent" to a whole new level. The movie showed that she wasn't just a girl obsessed with Joker. Sure you could tell she still loved him but he wasn't on her mind 24/7. Sure she would run into his arms every time she saw him but when you're taken away from your boyfriend and sent to prison for who knows how long I'm sure your arms would be open to.

The fight scene with El Diablo and the brother was fantastic. It was just a good semi-end battle. (I guess i don't know what to call it.) the end battle with all of them though was really cool. I don't think they needed as much slow motion as they used but it was still really good. In the end they all got what they wanted. Except one of them...RIP Diablo. Even Joker for his Harley back.

All in all the movie was really good. Some parts I did go into detail to. You'll just have to watch it. But if you're reading this one then you already did and already know what happened. I would go see it again if I could. The Batman and Flash cameos weren't as bad as I excepted them to be. Ezra was really good. Ben was also really good. I think they could have replaced them with more Joker scenes and it would have been even better. Jared Leto says there are enough Joker scenes to make an R-rated movie. Which is amazing but then I wouldn't be able to see it... So I'm glad they kept in PG-13.
