This movie should be released only in theaters at least for few weeks as HBO max is open piracy. As I watched Godzilla vs Kong for free in my country on the first day of release. My country is in Asia and we don't have HBO max.

James Gunn put so much heart into every character. Like you said, even the ones you didn't expect to care for. I think the biggest surprise for me was Ratcatcher 2, just adored her character, and her flashback scene at the end had me in tears of joy. So many people are missing out on this incredible movie. I can't even decide which character I liked the best. They were all just fantastic.

They did gwt something right( in the comics after Black Canary got her ability and was apart of something else before she joined the league she sang, and then she joined the birds of prey after) however, she only used her ability onced(which was cool) but why did she pass out when those who have read the comics knows she had experience using it?? Plus the fact that Margot coyldnt maintain the Harley voice and BOP isnt her team its batgirl's she just joined later.
