EFAP Movies #22: Suicide Squad with Southpaw

Now that we have fully recovered from both cuts of The Justice League, I believe it's time to rewind JUST a little bit and visit the one that got away.
The one that everyone enjoyed, the one that's getting a sequel that hopes to ignore it's defective brother's existence.
The Snyder Cut shall be seen once again in an EFAP Podcast episode but hopefully this abomination can be sequestered to one video alone. Strap in, gamers.

That was my biggest problem with this film. That's like Batman 101. The Snyderverse even has it lightly snowing when his parents are killed. For all we know this is the exact same alley! He even says he doesn't want to do this in front of his daughter! Well then don't do it! Wait till he drops his daughter off at her mom's or the daughter is asleep and confront him then! Bruce would be all about not emotionally scarring young children for the rest of their life in dark alleyways by ripping their parents away from them. If there was one thing you wouldn't catch Batman doing ever it would be that. And they had him do it.

​​@@valentinegonsalves7322 ​ the difference between women cosplaying and the "male gaze" argument is that: 1. Margo Robbie was uncomfortable with the costume 2. Her whole framing in the movie is in fact that of a "drunken stripper" - she's just there so you can get horny to the barely clothed crazy chick. The OG "male gaze" argument is that women are overly sexualized for no reason and often have no role besides being a sex object. Which is sexist, no matter how you look at it. Now, there's nothing wrong with fan service. But if you're doing fanservice why isn't it equal to some extend? And why not give her personality that's not just being hot? Catwoman is a good example I think - she's a seductive, highly sexual character that wears bare minimum of clothes a lot of the time... She's still her own character lol. Edit: uricksaladbar did a great video about the topic "Writing Women Heavy Rain vs Disco Elysium". It highlights why certain writing is sexist without falling into the puritan "anti-fanservice" trap, and also explaining it from the writing perspective.

One of the main issues here is that the Suicide Squad are not meant to fight high level threats, but are meant to do covert jobs and be the fall guys if anything goes wrong. I always preferred the idea that this movie's plot should have been about how Cadmus sends this team to try and recover Zod's dead body (that would have been at a Lexcorp). P.S it is clear they cut out so many Joker scenes, but maybe that is a good thing because they lowered the cunning and resourceful aspects of the character to double down crazy egomaniac.

honestly this just highlights the singular greatest flaw in the entire DCEU : they don't know how to write anything but apocalyptic events. Everything the main characters face has to be a world ending event, and that just makes it all so ridiculous. Imagine if this had been more of a 'heist' movie because the main bad guy was working closely with, say, a non-idiotic Lex Luthor who's too powerful for even the government to work against directly. Would have been a great chance to set up the dynamics of the underworld of this universe, which has always been a much stronger element in classic DC than in Marvel nope, the world's ending (again), send in one useful fiery demon man and a bunch of expendable redshirts....

Here is my understanding of the story behind how this movie came to be and where we are now: Ayer pitches the movie to the studio, and they love the pitch. They immediately greenlight the project, but to fit in with their slate, they need to fast-track the movie. So Ayer is told to have the script written and delivered in 6 weeks. As to why Ayer decided to write the movie rather than hire a screenwriter, I'm not sure. I don't know of any time he's addressed the subject. Anyway, when Ayer wrote it, Steppenwolf was the villain. He was supposed to be a precursor to Darkseid who was supposed to show up in Justice League. Then, Snyder changed his mind and wanted Steppenwolf for JL part 1 (at this time, the movie was supposed to be a 2-parter). So, right about the time the movie is about to go into production, Ayer learns that he needs to rewrite his script with an entirely new villain. The movie goes into production, and trailer 1 shows off this moody, grimy, nasty-looking crime movie that Ayer says he wanted to make. The movie continues to shoot. Trailer 2 comes out right before BvS. This trailer company decides to market it as a completely different movie than it was at the time using Queen in the soundtrack. The trailer EXPLODES in popularity. Meanwhile, the movie is having troubled pre-screenings. BvS happens. It's a disaster beyond the studio's wildest imagination. JL now is mandated to no longer be a two parter; Snyder and Terrio need to retool it to be a 1-parter. This sort of makes their previous decision to use Steppenwolf as a precursor villain to the main event kind of dumb and thus the last-minute rewrites of a hastily-put-together screenplay also more dumb than it already was. Among the criticisms of BvS is the problem of lack of levity. Studio sees the popularity of the Guardians-of-the-Galaxy-style Suicide Squad trailer and says, "Make the movie like Guardians of the Galaxy." Reshoots happen, and wider universe elements of the story are dropped to be more standalone. More jokes are added to the movie. Still not doing well in prescreening. WB actually hires the trailer studio to recut the film to be more like the trailers. Yes.... They hired a TRAILER COMPANY to edit a MOTION PICTURE. Among the things they do is add tons of licensed music and drastically reduce screen time for the Joker. Ayer objects. WB says "let's prescreen both versions and see which does better." Apparently the trailer company's version is received better. So WB decides to go with that version as the one they'll finish and release to theater, and Ayer plays nice supporting the movie in public. After much of this leaks he sticks by his company man stance and states "this is my cut." Fast forward a few years. Zack Snyder is releasing images of his original cut to drum up support for a new cut. When it becomes clear that the movement is gaining in popularity, Ayer starts to do the same thing for his version of Suicide Squad. He starts to answer questions about what his intentions were originally and what was cut. He says he should've just dropped Enchantress and just made the movie about trying to capture the Joker, but hindsight is 20/20. Says "my movie was no masterpiece, but it was better than what you got to see." Zack Snyder's Justice League gets announced. Now Ayer drops all the professional niceties. He starts hyping more images of his cut of the movie. Supports his own hashtag: #releasetheayercut. Changes his tune about the quality of his original movie and says "my movie was great, and we were all robbed." Has nice things to say about James Gunn, though. And continually hopes that Gunn's upcoming Suicide Squad attempt is well-received. And that ends my telling of what I understand to have happened from the time the movie was pitched to right now.

[@matthewmuir8884]

As I understand it, hiring the trailer park to do an alternate cut of the film happened before the reshoots. If I recall correctly, neither cut did well in test screenings, then came a round of reshoots and a compromised third cut that mixed the reshoots mostly with the original Ayer cut, but while also keeping elements of the trailer park cut. That compromised cut was then the cut that ended up in theatres.

So she wasn't a commentary on sexuality and identity and gender and abusive relationships and empowerment and objectification and loyalty and what have you. She was a crazy person who though helping Joker would make him appreciate her because no one else ever did. And Joker not doing that, was simply to say, "There is no point in doing bad things just to be liked and validated by people. Because chances are they're bad people, so it means nothing to them and instead they'll use you to get their work done." The end.

And if she already is, then why not use that ?

Given the numbers that means thousands of people were slaughtered at the minimum; to compare franchises it's a massacre of civilians as bad as in OmniMan's fight with Invincible in the season finale, just minus the gore. Then Again I didn't see Man of Steel so maybe that's just normal.

[@stephw1702]

@@majordbag2 Hope they are killed being turned into the goopy monsters, otherwise it would really suck being one of those turned then killed by the sword that traps their souls forever.

Let's all take a moment to be thankful that EFAP won't have to suffer through the (nearly 3-hour) Ayer Cut of Suicide Squad. Edit: Actually it may have been 142 minutes, not almost 3-hours. It's unconfirmed what the actual runtime would be.

Deadshot’s scene of showing off his shooting skills is my favorite scene in the movie. Him loading the gun, to the “comedy” of him pointing the gun at that guy, even Waller’s little line of following up on Deadshot assuming the bullets were blanks, daring him to pull the trigger. And then just him making his demands and such.......but then the fun’s pretty much over for me after that.

“No one likes this version of Joker. He’s too cringe.” Sadly, you’re wrong. I know one person who likes Jared Leto Joker. It was one of my old college roommates. He genuinely enjoyed Jared Leto’s “F*ckboi Joker” (his words, not mine) over Ledger or Phoenix’s interpretation of the character. And he wasn’t kidding, he legitimately thought Leto Joker in Suicide Squad was the best version of the character. I wish I were joking...

[@mrshmuga9]

Just... how? Not even from a taste standpoint, but Jared Leto is barely in the movie to begin with to get much of an idea to his character. He gets maybe 5 minutes of screen time, and they’re all random scenes. Outside Harley’s origins with the toxic waste, he could’ve been any random crime boss and nothing would be different.
