I think you’re overthinking it. And the whole genre.I don’t understand this movie. They made a Suicide Squad a few years ago. Is this a sequel, remake or re-imagining? It’s got the same female actor in both as the CIA boss.

Shhhhhh!Fight Club.
Clunked my way through half of Terminator Dark Fate last night before I fell asleep on the couch. From what I remember it was pretty good though, the fight scenes were f***ing excellent and the premise and the whole augmented future human thing is kinda cool.
I think this is about where I fell asleep. The idea of a T800 developing a conscience and helping raise a family evidently got a bit too surreal and it was time to check out.
The first one was "Suicide Squad" this one is "THE Suicide Squad"...its a sequel...or really with all this superhero crap another episode movie...I don’t understand this movie.

The new one is a very different beast I hear. It's James Gunn directing it for a start. He did a bang up job with Guardians of the Galaxy and while the sequel could have done with a bit of trimming, I can put that down to Marvel's excess.I grew up reading and loving the comics from DC and Marvel. And have seen almost all of them (don't watch WW1984, it's terrible I hear).
Suicide Squad 1 was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Bear in mind I got to see it for free, with a choc top and popcorn and I couldn't get out fast enough. No amount of Cara Delevingne cavorting around on screen can polish up that turd.
This current one will never get my time either. Even though I love the genre, I absolutely will not watch drivel just because it's based on superheroes.
It's FOC for me and I'd need paying to watch it.
The issue I have with the DC universe is that Warner Bros (or whoever) just don't have any confidence in the direction they want to take the franchise. So we get flashy bullshit with no context or backstory and asinine characters (Suicide Squad, original Justice League), movies like Batman v Superman trying to jam too much into too little time then trips down memory lane with dark, gritty stuff like Joker. Mostly with a faintly desperate air of trying to squeeze even an iota of popularity out of what Marvel can reliably bank on by just copying their formula without understanding what makes it work.Super is an absolute cracker of a film and from the sounds of it, DC are continuing down the path of gratuitous, schlocky fun that they've already trodden with Doom Patrol and the Harley Quinn series. Gunn's with his B-movie heritage is a perfect fit.
Yeah, there's absolutely no coherence with them although I think that can actually be a good thing as it means that shows like Doom Patrol and Harley Quinn can still get made in spite of them taking some serious liberties with the Big Name characters...The issue I have with the DC universe is that Warner Bros (or whoever) just don't have any confidence in the direction they want to take the franchise.

The Jack Snyder Justice League version proves they can make original, interesting takes on superhero stuff when they have faith in what they're doing (although that really should've been 2-3 movies rather than one that went for a million years).
Definately going to check out more of their offerings. We were all captivated. Truly great stuff.All the Studio Ghibli stuff is wonderful. Puts the kids in a very different mood to screechy preachy American stuff.
One of my favourites, tbh. Watch some of the other Miyazaki Ghiblis too, Princess Mononoke, My Neighbour Totoro, even Ponyo.Spirited away.
