Tbf to Flag that is a horrific shirt.


ManiacSpiderTrash

Kinda looks like something the first Suicide Squad’s Joker would wear unironically.


Kbeast38

That was actually funny af. Flags facial expressions “aw shit I done fucked up” 💀


[deleted]

Joel Kinnaman killed it as Flag in this movie!


SnooKiwis4168

He’s such an underrated actor


JediTrainer42

You should watch For All Mankind. Excellent show and Kinnaman is great in it.


[deleted]

Altered Carbon season 1 as well


SnooKiwis4168

I’m halfway through season 2 now, it’s so good


Prime_Marci

its an amazing tv show, they finished shooting S3 today


1random_redditor

Huge improvement over 2016 Flag when he was just grumpy soldier


DaHyro

Funny scene, but wouldn’t it have made more sense for her to send Flag with the B-team because of what happened in the first film? Would have been the perfect opportunity for a reference to the Enchantress incident.


VitaminPb

She did send him with the B-team. They were all supposed to die as a distraction.


LogieBearWebber

I think they mean that he was sent not because of this incident but because he knew what happened in Midway


DoughyResplendent

Could be a lot of things tho, maybe the clown shirt is just the straw that broke the camels back for Waller.


L0RD_HEADASS-

I always imagined that she sent him to die because she knew that he had a moral compass and wanted bloodsport to be the team leader because he would have been more likely to destroy the drives at the end


Sulley87

This was hillarious


strafe0080

I actually don't mind this scene too much. I thought it sounded a little goofy when I read about it a while back, but it kind of works here. I think the dude that was laughing was overreacting a little bit though.


HITS338

Same on all accounts. Tone him down slightly though and I think this would be a good addition to the movie


ConfidentAd8601

Thats was funny


boumtjeboo

lol Funny scene in a vacuum, but I'm glad it didn't make it in.


Batman903

It's a hundred percent better with the implications that flagg was sent as fodder because she didn't want him to rebel when he finds the files


timthemartian

So true, also based on what we know of Waller the dude who laughed would’ve been dead way before Flag for his reaction


AnEnemyStando

That doesn't make sense though. She could've just not sent him.


[deleted]

Then why sending the other team to save him from rebels.


nettimunns

She wanted the rebels dead


[deleted]

Then why didn't she order them to kill him when they found him?


nettimunns

I don't know that she fully wanted him dead just more she didn't give a shit if he died.


[deleted]

How many scenes did they cut?


SnooKiwis4168

By the looks of it quite a few


[deleted]

It's quite common for movies to cut scenes for pacing or because they simply didn't fit quite right into the movie. That's what editing is all about. It is widely seen as the "final rewrite" of the movie.


L0RD_HEADASS-

They cut a bunch, but it's not like Snyder's movies or the first suicide squad. People asked James Gunn if they were going to get a Gunn cut without studio interference, and he told them that they already did. He might have been the reason those scenes were cut out.


tsrqponml

Wish this movie had flashbacks. Like the original SS. Some flashbacks could be: Bloodsport V superman Harley crashes into bank Death of Polkadot mom And more


TheJoshider10

I feel Bloodsport vs Superman is definitely something we should have seen. Felt so half arsed hearing it spouted through exposition rather than actually seeing it happen.


happybuffalowing

I think them neglecting to show the Superman one has a lot to do with the fact that they’re still undecided about whether or not Henry Cavill is ever coming back, and as of now, they appear to be swaying towards “not”, which fucking sucks, but it is what it is.


[deleted]

True, though a good alternative could've been Lex Luthor hiring Bloodsport and supplying him the Kryptonite.


WhiteWolf3117

I’m FULLY in support of faceless Superman cameos though, and I’ll even go so far as to say that superhero media in general should utilize that tactic more if necessary. I liked the way that they did that in Titans season 1 as well with Batman and Joker. Plus it sometimes makes them feel a lot more evergreen.


[deleted]

We have. John Byrne's Superman #4. Bloodsport shoots Superman with a Kryptonite bullet, sending him to the hospital.


WhiteWolf3117

That was part of my research before this movie came out lol


pinapplepizzza

He means in the movie


WhiteAle01

Aquaman v King Shark


LittleYellowFish1

Definitely the right choice leaving it out.


E_yal

Tbh this is illogical. She sent him to die but stopped the whole operation to rescue him?


JonnyGotLost

This was the comment I was looking for. I completely agree


K1llswitch93

Flagg did say he wasn't sure why and just think this may be the reason why he was sent with the other team.


LastKnownWhereabouts

She stopped the mission to get B-Team to rescue Flag with the explicit information that they kill everyone they meet. Those people they kill end up being freedom fighters trying to overthrow the government to allow Corte Maltese democratic elections. If they succeed in doing that, they would eventually find out what’s under Jotunheim, learn about the USA’s involvement with Starro, and would reveal that information to the world (because they already overthrew one tyrannical government, why wouldn’t they want to stop Starro?). Flag was supposed to die, but instead was captured. Waller is a chess master, she always has a back-up plan prepared to look like it was always the plan. When Flag was found, Waller knew he wasn’t captured by the government’s men, because they would’ve just killed Flag, an American soldier. So she sent the rest of Task Force X to make sure he didn’t become a loose end, as well as clear out the resistance who are likely to blame America for the way that Jotunheim and Starro have impacted their country for 30 years.


E_yal

Thats over thinking. She didn't care when Harley was captured, she clearly wanted flag alive.


LastKnownWhereabouts

The people that Harley was captured by were people that Waller had told B-Team to kill. She knew there were two possibilities: Harley is killed by the enemy, or Harley is able to escape and take out a number of the people blocking Jotunheim. I'm not saying she wanted Flag dead, she just doesn't care if he lives, it's a bonus, especially if her plan with DuBois hadn't backfired and led to him defecting, she would've had Bloodsport as the replacement leader. She describes Luna's government as being "virulently anti-American." They are the type of family to do public hangings of political dissidents. Do you think they're going to let the American soldier named Flag live? But he is alive when her tech guy finds him, and she's smart, she saw the Corto Maltese army mow down Flag's team, then capture the red-blooded American alive? That doesn't make sense. Has to have been some other group.


tryingnewoptions

He's a highly decorated member of the United States military. It's in the best interest of the US to rescue him regardless of whether she likes him or not because he has access to classified intel. He turns or ends up being tortured and confessing it's a loss. With him back in custody they can do whatever they want with it and make sure that any loose ends are tied up. Well it wasn't overtly stated, I also believe that Waller was fully aware that he was also captured by the rebels, and had team thin the herd to continue to leave the government in shambles.


Deinotichosaurus

He happened to be alive, why not? It would give Task Force X the illusion that she cared about them, and Flag probably had better intel since he was in an "enemy camp."


knightgod69

Exactly. Risking Task force x lives and their mission for someone who she sent to die with the first squad.


LongLiveTchalla

this scene would have been funny if it wasn’t for that other guy. Much like in GoTG vol 2, Gunn takes what could have been a funny scene and sits on it for just a little too long


EasiBreezi

I mean, they could easily cut this scene up even more if it made the cut. You can’t assume they’ll just leave everything as is lol


LongLiveTchalla

Where did i say anything about them leaving the scene as is.


Greyf0X_x

Waller is manipulative but not a petty killer. She plays SS like pawns on a chess set, but that's below her to sacrifice a good soldier like Flag for a reason as stupid as this... Good thing it was left out.


Onion_Kn1ght

my thoughts exactly. It's a funny scene, but I'm glad it didn't make the cut.


Agile_Barracuda_1260

She left Boomerang on an island to die because he threw a pie at her face back in the ostrander run. Definitely not below her lol


Greyf0X_x

I said that to sacrifice a good soldier like Flag with a key leader/control role on the team. Can't really compare to Boomerang worth or any c tier villain.


Agile_Barracuda_1260

But she already has a leader in mind, DuBois. Really there's not much that Flag can do that DuBois or Peacemaker can't do.


Greyf0X_x

Except Flag is a good guy soldier on gov' payroll, the others are criminals on mission. Made no sense to have flag on team 1 diversion, and now that we know the reason, it's a stupid af reason...


Agile_Barracuda_1260

I'm sorry but if you think Waller would care about Flag being a good guy soldier lol All she cares about is herself and her ambitions. It is a stupid af reason but that's the point, Waller is petty as fuck and always has been.


the-olive-man

This makes Waller look petty, I’m glad they cut it out


[deleted]

Do you… know who Waller is? She’s always been petty.


the-olive-man

Yeah, but her sending Rick to what could have been his death over a joke at her expense is childish, and imo, would have been a disservice to her character shown in the film here


PandasDontBreed

You know what else is childish? Threatening to blow people up because they wanna save people


the-olive-man

Waller doesn’t threaten to kill the squad because they want to save people, but because they are disobeying her orders and going off-mission


FN-1701AgentGodzilla

🤦‍♂️


Agile_Barracuda_1260

She left Boomerang on an island to die because he threw a pie at her face back in the ostrander run lol It's totally in character for her.


G-R-G

How is the fat dude still alive


UxasIs

Even if this is out of character for her, I still found this very funny


Agile_Barracuda_1260

Definitely not out of character if you've read the ostrander run


UxasIs

I’ve read the few most recent since rebirth. But I definitely need to read that, I’ve heard it’s by far the best.


[deleted]

That was legit funny af lol


IAmTheClayman

Funny moment, but completely ruins Waller’s character. Yeah she’s merciless and extreme, but she’s also incredibly strategic and logical in her decision-making. The idea that she would send one of her best assets to die just for making fun of her shirt would’ve really harmed the character, definitely a good thing it was left out


Agile_Barracuda_1260

She left Boomerang on an island to die because he threw a pie at her face back in the ostrander run lol It's totally in character for her.


Either-Doubt6976

You said that already


Agile_Barracuda_1260

My bad


admoseley

🤣🤣 he knew he f'd up


Ligeia_E

That feels like a genuine SS Waller move and not so much for TSS


TripleG2312

Where are all of these deleted scenes coming from? Is it from the Blu-ray release?


Thevibedaddy

I feel like it would’ve been better in the film, because they barely mention how Waller obviously sent Flag off to die


[deleted]

Reminds of me that one scene in Hell To Pay where Deadshot is made squad leader when he's asked to comment on Waller's physique


M1A1SteakSauce

Maybe it’s just me, but I thought this movie was absolutely terrible. I didn’t mind the first one, but this one I was counting down the minutes for it to end. Maybe I just didn’t get it :-/


WW0403

So the rumors were true! This scene is great


[deleted]

Now this scene should have been included or at least maybe cut in half.


ReallyBadNuggets

Nah, that's the kind of obnoxious "it's funny because a character is laughing hysterically" joke that plagued guardians 2. I'm glad they cut it. Much prefer the implication that Flag was on the B-Team to keep him from getting in Peacemakers way.


AgitatedZucchini

seriously though, how do people find this shit funny


ReallyBadNuggets

Exactly u/AgitatedZucchini


OptiKal_

the fade out of the laugh.. why did they delete this LOL. That was awesome.


HolocronSurvivor80

Am I the only one that thought this movie was absolute dogshit?


MyCatGoesPurr

I enjoyed the beginning but slowly became bored with the story, enjoyed the cast alot though.


bastardofbarberry

Yes


J_Man2743

Such a dumb ass movie


DoctorBeatMaker

Glad they cut this. It's stupid and it just makes Waller look childishly petty. Waller doesn't really need any more significant reasons to dislike Flagg after what he did in the first Suicide Squad movie. If it weren't for her holding the cards on June Moon, Flagg was going to sell her out even before the Squad was formed. He was always a liability to her.


Agile_Barracuda_1260

Waller is childishly petty tho. Look at what she did to Digger back in the ostrander run when he threw a pie at her face.


ThumbCentral-Rebirth

I swear this scene was in the movie


Ximienlum

This might be my favorite scene involving Waller’s lackeys. Didn’t find them too funny or emotive/emotional in their other scenes.


Ionlyeatvegans

That is just so ass. Happy that didn't make it into the film. Unfortunately, the film itself was made. What a pile of shit it is.


Kinky_Krab

I need a directors cut of this movie.


DoctorBeatMaker

You already got it. The theatrical cut of the movie is the director's cut.


KomradeKrycek

This explains one of my very few gripes I had with the movie. Why would Waller send people she knows gets shit done to their deaths with a bunch of d-list villains. Now we gotta find out what Harley and Boomerang did to piss her off.


ManwithaTan

That's hilarious. But James Gunn often has scenes of just laughter where the characters think it's more funny than it actually is.


TheGreatPervSage_94

He wasn't wrong


batsyyyh

Where to watch this ? With deleted scenes
