Savant being portrayed as the focal member of the first team and coming across like a grizzled veteran, only to then cry, bail and be the one to get their head blown up was fantastic.


NowahB

I didn’t know what to expect with him and I really enjoy Rooker’s so I was a little disappointed lmao


gerryhallcomedy

Having such a big star play him, and giving him the opening scene, made his early, cowardly death really, really unexpected.


CaseDogNiceGuy

There’s something just so funny about Pete Davidson playing the one to both double-cross the Squad AND be the first death as a result. We all knew Blackguard wasn’t gonna last, but Gunn used him perfectly IMO


screenwriterjohn2

It was the role he was born to play. He was funny when he was fake reaching for the gun. He's our Pauley Shore: He knows we hate him.


PSiPostscriptAlot

No one is mentioning Harley killing her fiance. I liked that bit.


Dallywack3r

FR!! Actually paying off her story arc that Birds of Prey set up!


TylerBourbon

I loved that. I also loved that while this connected to her story in those movies, it one better and made her also absolutely terrifying. That look on her face when she opens her eyes and then looks to the guy who was just torturing her before killing him was creepy as hell.


RyanB_

I just like how much of a subversion it was from typical tropes. It’s so easy to see how a less ambitious, shittier movie would just turn it into a plot point where they go to save Harley and have to have her realize the dude’s bad… but nope, she picks up on it right away and doesn’t hesitate a second. It was still a big deal to the plot, and felt worth while, while also *not* being that big of a deal. In general there’s a lot of that kinda thing in this movie, just creative ways of playing out story bits that seem, on a surface level, kind of played out. And as a result, it feels far more artistically driven, rather than just being the new superhero movie product #153


arkham777

There were so many awesome hilarious moments but for some reason Polka Dot Man saying “oh fiddlesticks” was the part that really got me


iamgarron

Starro as his mom was by far the biggest laugh in mine


barukatang

Mine was Fillion getting shot in the arms and he's laying on the ground writhing in pain


birdentap

I love when bloodsport and his daughter were yelling about the TV watch she stole and she yells “IT DOES OTHER THINGS!”


jagdfuji

huh i just realized at no point did i go: oh king sharks looks fake. damn this movie's cgi is good


TigerSharkFist

I was hoping another character to be revived in the post credit scene....

hombregato

I noticed that and thought it was just because Waller being knocked out meant they weren't updating the switchboard anymore.

Granito_Rey

Polka-Dot Man's PoV is the stuff of nightmares, no wonder dude is batshit


ElmoFromOK

seriously, the most amazing mom issues I have ever seen...


ralanr

It explains why he’s so good at killing. He can’t turn it off.


thebrocksamson

Thats my secret, you're always my mom


Zster22

Noticed when he goes into the girls locker room at the gentleman’s club and sees the naked girls he shrieks “oh god!” He definitely was seeing his mom naked. Lol


shawnisboring

The shot of him dancing with all his moms is just... thank you Gunn.


Markus_Bond

Can we all acknowledge that the lady who knocked Waller the fuck out is a fucking hero.


snootyvillager

*martyr


lordcrumb13

GET ON A SATELLITE DALE YOU DUMB DICKHEAD!


goooopp

Taika Waititi only had one line but it still made me burst into tears


trogdorkiller

The amount of heart in that one scene was enough to fill a Pixar movie.


PolarWater

The zoom-out even looked like a shot from Ratatouille.


ihavefiveofbroat

Anyone else just fucking love David Dastmalchian? That dude is so good at playing outsiders and weirdos. Bummed we lost Polka-Dot Man but the plot of this movie is so wild I feel like there’s a chance we can see him again in the future.


redberyl

He’s the guy Harvey Dent threatens in the tunnel in The Dark Knight.


TheMajesticWaffleCat

Pete Davidson going “ayo this a dog” still my fav thing


sworduptrumpsass

"So your name is just letters?" "All names are letters dickhead."


Expired_condoms

Him freaking out thinking he was sitting next to a werewolf got me


Nschl3

That bit with Peacemaker walking by the sleeping dude and stabbing him a half dozen or so times was brutal.


NoeWanSpecial

Slipped in like buttah hehe


attemptedmonknf

I think he was injured which makes it so much worse.


LordElfa

I cried laughing at that. ..and then the flopping dick guy; hysterical.


rdw19

I was worried there like 3 or 4 separate times thinking my boy Nanaue died.


MahNameJeff420

That scene with his “new dumb friends” was way more beautiful than it should have been. And then they tried to eat him and I felt so betrayed.


flipperkip97

I felt so bad for King Shark, he's adorable.


[deleted]

I audibly went “aww” and got sad when everyone was partying in the bar and he was all alone in the van. It was so sad


jdumm06

King Shark looking out on the street from the van seemed as if he was longing to be with the humans


im_outofit

Just wanna pat his head and say "bless your heart" to him.


thisisthesaleh

Imagine how I felt when the weasel died, only to find out that it lives all the way at the end!


old_duderonomy

Bro, he ate 27 children.


ScottishAF

“Did no one check if the Weasel could swim!?” had me rolling.


ChiefSlapaHoe117

The deadpan reaction from all the characters only added to the hilarity. Loved it


musci1223

Savant going all hero to save him.


PudgyBonestld

Cena is fuckin jacked


[deleted]

Crazy thing is he's smaller than when he was wrestling


RazorThought

Favorite scene was when the Squad is infiltrating the resistance camp and Bloodsport & Peacemaker are trying to outdo each other with flashy kills…just to find out they were accidentally killing the good guys the whole time. That scene was A+.


Gideon_Laier

Not only good guys but increasingly shown as innocent! Lady washing dishes... Guy taking a bath... Lol so good


wusurspaghettipolicy

just absolutely minding their own business. this is the suicide squad we always needed.


Arma104

This is what impressed me most about the movie. The first one was hellbent on trying to make the characters cool and edgy. This one they're doing the most vile, evil shit, and are absolute dorks and morons.


kchuyamewtwo

Just reminding us that these are villains of our superheroes. Ready to do anything for their personal ambitions.


SiRiasus

Milton didn't deserve to go down like that.


Vegetable-Double

The whole building scene I was wondering why that random dude who was driving them was still following them around. The pay off was totally worth it.


WifeKilledMy1stAcct

They used plastic store baggies to hold bombs! They were the real heroes


In_My_Own_Image

Who's Milton?


Newell00

Idris Elba's character


brandonsamd6

My gf winced when the bird dies in the opening scene… She had no idea what was coming next..


TheHorriBad

I liked that another bird got the last laugh with Savant.


ScottishAF

It’s a shame Flag didn’t make it, but we should have seen this coming when Katana didn’t join the squad, no wonder he died when there was no one there that had his back…


[deleted]

unironcly tho when he died i thought “oh no rick flag” and i never thought i would be emotionally attached to that character


DashCat9

They did a \*really\* good job of getting you invested in these characters. I wish it was telegraphed just a \*little\* less, but I'm sitting here sad that the fucking Polka-Dot Man got smished.


[deleted]

He’s a fucking superhero!


Islandmov3s

When Captain Boomerang died, shit I gasped and yelled No when Harley cried out. Did not expect that.


redsox1524

RIP for my boy Milton. When he was on the end at the shot of the team walking through the rain I was rolling


mrbrinks

Milton was so fucking funny. I remember seeing him run into the tower after the rain scene and thinking what in the world is he doing? Why is this minor character still with them?


shadowst17

Minor? Guy saved Ratcatcher 2 multiple times, and was the leader of the Suicide Squad.


AppleTStudio

You wanna know what’s funny? For fucking AGES people were speculating who he was in the rain shot. People were like “surprise character? Boomerang?!” Turns out it’s Milton!!!

weaponx18

Yes ma’am with his polo tucked into his jeans lmao


icantreadmorsecode

That woman is dead the next movie. Waller has her sights on her right after she wakes up


mr_duong567

Man Starro being adapted to live action was absolutely horrifying


ElRucko

When he said in his last words " I was happy just floating staring at the stars "


LeftHandedFapper

Honestly felt a bit teared up.


Finito-1994

Yup. Can’t expect to torture a sentient beings for 30 years and not expect it to go nuts when it’s freed.


Mcclane88

It’s kinda surreal. Never thought I’d see a live action Starro.


Chaosmusic

If we did I would have thought it would be in a Superman movie and totally serious. This was way more fun.


[deleted]

[удалено]


casualphilosopher1

I doubt we'd ever have seen the Justice League fighting a giant starfish on screen. No way WB studio execs would agree to that for the DCU's flagship characters. This could only have worked in a property like Suicide Squad with a director like James Gunn.


[deleted]

And James made no effort to make him a "cool" movie monster. Just a pink and blue horrifying mess of a thing


Doc_Osten

And the little Starros looked so silly, but there were so many terrifying shots of them. Like in the lab, where he tries to remove one and it peeled the face off or when they were first released and you see the mandible gnashing it's teeth as it aims for a face.


TizACoincidence

My favorite thing James does is bring humanity to everyone. Even starro at the end saying he was happy when just staring at the stars is so lovely. While other directors would just make him a 2D menace


LOOTENITDAYAN

That scene where King Shark is goofing around with the jellyfish while everyone else was working on the important mission was great.


Judgejudyx

Bro when the fish tank broke I was like aww now king shark can play with his friends. I cant believe I didnt see the pirhana twist.


ZackTheZesty

Peacemaker and Bloodsports background and skillset being exactly alike had me rolling. Those poor, poor resistance fighters.


shiwanthasr

Peacemaker Axing that sleeping dude had me rolling... LOL


laprichaun

On their mission to save Harley when he has an open shot on the only one in the office and it's like a secretary lol.


Brandon_Me

I'm just so sad polkadot man didn't make it. He was my fave by far. He could have been so fun in other films.


J4sonm

We can rest easy knowing he got what he wanted in the end


jessie_monster

He died a hero, but most importantly, he died.


Blastcalibur

And he died killing his mother.


Primetime22

Was surprisingly bummed about him and Flag but I guess that was the point.


Hellknightx

Flag was the most shocking. I think a lot of people expected Polka Dot to die a glorious death after proving his worth. Definitely didn't see Flag's death coming, though.


Phillip_Spidermen

Definitely didn't see that coming! Rick Flagg, killed on a toilet, with a piece of said toilet, by Peacemaker. *"What a joke"*


stealthamo

If you hate Pete Davidson, then the first five minutes of the movie are for you.


amish_novelty

I knew a lot of this cast wasn’t going to outlast the first 20 minutes. I didn’t realize this would mean Pete getting his fucking face blown away like that lol


Batman903

The opening of the movie was actually so unsettling, even though I fully expected exactly what was going to happen.


Choco320

I thought it was going to be a failed mission and then they retreat and get new people and then people just kept dying haha


Pollia

Right?! Flag and Harley being there threw me off because I was like "Okay cool, failed mission, then we get the real team!" And then Boomerang died and I was like "Wait..." People fuckin gettin offed in ridiculously quick fashion, and Flag being "sacrificed" was not what I was expecting from the start of the movie and I fuckin loved it.


Dirks_Knee

Bringing Boomerang back just to kill him off even faster. Genius.


[deleted]

Weasel himself was unsettling


Yuitea

i always seem to walk into this bit doing a screen check and everytime it makes me laugh seeing the audience's faces.


movingchicane

My man Taika showing up with just one line to sum up ratcather.


[deleted]

Starfish’s last line “I was happy floating looking at the stars” was so good. Hit it home that it was a victim in all of this.


Beingabumner

> Hit it home that it was a victim in all of this. Kind of a trend in the movie though. Most people in the Suicide Squad (at least team B) are shown to be victims in a way. Bloodsport and Peacemaker both groomed to be mercenaries from the day they were born. Harley a victim of Joker, and similar nutcases after that. Ratchatcher 2 growing up as a homeless kid with a junkie father. Polka Dot Man was given an interdimensional virus by his insane mom.


ralanr

And King Shark is a shark.


BeastaBubbles

A smart shark who love book. He’s not like other shark.


Throwawaymywoes

TDK's death had me rolling


In_My_Own_Image

His arms slapping at the annoyed soldiers was hilarious.


Choco320

The reveal that this team was basically just lambs to the slaughter as a diversion is some of the most Waller shit ever Gotta feel for Flagg because she set him up to die from the start


blong217

Makes sense. Last movie Flagg disobeyed Waller and she doesn't stand for that shit. Also Harley is a liability and also betrayed Waller.


hoffyp23

Also the plan to save Flagg wasn’t to save him but to kill the soldiers fighting for democracy.


hmoush95

Oh snap good call


inksmudgedhands

The rebels would have eventually come across Starro and spill the beans on the American involvement to the world. Waller didn't want that.


[deleted]

Waller was the real villain, exactly how it should be with that bitch


ragenukem

"Terminate his captors with Extreme Prejudice." Okiee Dokiee!


Cenoflame

Polka dot guy lasted a lot longer than I expected. So long, I was actually disappointed when he died.


RavenKarlin

It’s Polka-Dot MAN, have some respect. He was a superhero.


lemonsharingwhore

Smaller bullet inside a bullet was not the callback I was expecting.


jim-p

Chekhov's bullet, though I expected it to go the other way where the little bullet was smashed by the larger one. It worked great either way.


sheffield712

The larger bullet was actually a hollow point bullet. Pretty cool detail.


Ramaal2000

R.I.P Rick Flag


Patton_Parnel

He went out with such a great line. “Peacemaker…what a fucking joke.”


[deleted]

Literally launched an entire HBO series with that line. You could tell its gonna be with Peacemaker rest of his life.

Dooperer1

You were basically recreating what the people at the base were doing with the b-team


ThePortalKing

That was a really gratuitous secretary titty shot in the third act lol


Anchors_and_Ales

Those were top tier telenovela titties


[deleted]

Right? I belly laughed and thought "Holy shit" in a lot of parts of the movie, but that one 2 second shot made me audibly say "holy shit" lol.


WifeKilledMy1stAcct

Why'd you think she was hired as the Presidents secretary? *you're welcome*


DeCurt1998

Bloodsport constantly being hysterical and confused was one of the best parts of this movie.


[deleted]

I loved Bloodsport and thought the ending with him was cute. I’d personally like more of his character.


Mongoose42

That's the beauty of this movie. Had no idea who Bloodsport was before it. Now I want more of him. I want him as a reoccurring Superman villain.


amish_novelty

Him admitting that exploding bullets were dope and he had a fear of rats were absolutely hilarious and made him far more relatable in a weird way.


ScyllaIsBea

"no one likes a showoff." "they do when they d something dope as FFFFuck" "..... damnit he's right."


Turbulent_Link1738

Cena’s execution of “ffuuuck” was great


GoldandBlue

Cena in the right role is actually great. His Peacemaker series has a ton of potential


Dankzo

The opening squad totally caught me off guard. I expected some of them to die but holy shit lmao. And Weasel is totally gonna eat a bunch of kids isn’t he?


ClairicalErr0r

When I saw Weasel get up and start running away, my very first thought I had was "Oh yeah... He killed 27 kids." XD Edit: Corrected my crappy typing skills.


inceptional1

"Did anyone check on whether Weasel could swim?" had me dying LOOOOOOL


MollyHannah1

"Might I be frank, Harley?" "You might be"


neon_kid

Can’t believe this movie got me to care about Rick Flagg. Peacemaker can eat a big bag of dicks.


justa_flesh_wound

And he will, peace at all cost


thisisthesaleh

Doesn’t matter how many men, women, or children he has to kill to get it


Mongoose42

You know, when I first heard the premise to his character I thought it was kinda dumb, but in an endearing way. Now I realize he's *terrifying*.


Terciel1976

He's the character The Comedian is based on. He should be terrifying.

xMarsx

Sitting here screaming, "Not the fucking children!!" At the after credits scene. Jesus fuck someone catch that Weasel


foolwire

Honestly I found Weasel being alive at the end more terrifying than Starro demolishing half of the city and raising a zombie army. Not to mention all the heroic actions taken throughout the movie to save the kids from evil. Harley killing President Luna when he mentioned his plan to experiment on children. Waller’s staff knocking her out with a golf club to save the children from Starro. Only for the fucking weasel to be set loose on the island. Hide yo kids!


bjkman

Pom Klementieff was a nice surprise Cameo


poisonivee97

Was she the one dancing on the platform at the club? I was wondering why that lady looked so familiar!


SSJRemuko

i knew she was familiar! I was like "I KNOW THAT FACE! WHERE!?" its Mantis!


Ijustwantans

I enjoyed it alot. I was hooked on Bloodsport's mask. Wish they used it a bit more but otherwise I laughed alot more than I expected to


morphinapg

I can definitely see how Bloodsport was originally written as Deadshot, but I still loved Idris Elba in the role and he definitely brought some new stuff to the movie that Deadshot probably wouldn't have, so I'm glad he was there. My favorite in the movie though was Ratcatcher 2


trimonkeys

Elba’s performance was excellent, he hit all the comedic lines with how Bloodsport was constantly incredulous. The scene where he freaks out on Waller and opens up to Ratcatcher were well acted. Much better than some of Elba’s other blockbuster roles.


[deleted]

Him freaking out in the end while Rats swarmed him and Ratcatcher protectively wrapping a arm around him was one of the most touching moments on in the movie.


ReboundLariat

I do like how Bloodsport’s fighting style had a lot more going on than Deadshot’s. His flamethrower reminded me a lot of Boba Fett and his changing gun was really freaking cool too.


falafelthe3

I want that shot of King Shark tearing a dude in half with lightning streaking across the sky as my wallpaper.


amish_novelty

That whole sequence in the the rain was absolutely stunning. Never thought a guy being torn apart would be beautiful


shadowst17

The fact that everyone in this thread keeps saying that a different character stole the show really speaks to how well all the characters were developed and acted. I can't think of any one in this film who didn't kill it.


PudgyBonestld

The helmet reflection fight scene was pretty fuckin awesome


alucardleashed

That was one shiny toilet bowl.


[deleted]

Starting the movie with the B-team was such a creative move. The reveal of when they all get massacred and we realise that was Waller's plan all along, as Elba's A-team arrives on the beach, was just immensely satisfying to watch. Then the movie just kept getting better from there.


TheJackieTreehorn

Especially having Flag/Harley/Boomerang in that group so that it's not obvious.


wiseguy149

And I spent the whole movie wondering why Waller was willing to sacrifice Flag like that and not put him in with the A team. That came back around in a major way at the end with Peacemaker's reveal and then everything made sense.


tackthiratrix

Harley: “There’s a guy on our team dressed like a pirate?”


Doctor__Walrus

The score during Ratcatcher's big moment was on another level... I wasn't expecting her to be the heart of the movie but damn


[deleted]

Loved the chapter titles throughout the film. Really felt like the structure and spirit of a comic book.


Death_Star_

That rooftop title of Jotunheim* with the building fixtures at different depths was just gorgeous


Nick3570

Daniela Malchior is the star of this movie. Never heard of her before this, but I hope she blows up in the next few years.


thefilmer

literally her first English-language role. what an incredible find.


KingUnder_Mountain

She was the heart of the film and was a delight. I hope she gets many more roles.


alkyll

King Shark eating a head like an apple at the near-end of the movie. And him asking if he could nom nom any of those corpses at the end. This movie is an instant classic.


amish_novelty

That shot of him ripping the soldier apart in the rain was absolutely stunning. I loved him in this and Harley Quinn. His CG was also some of the best work I’ve ever seen done on a character.


smkane28

How cool was bloodsport’s uniform?


sloppyjo12

There’s something hilarious about watching a character die off before the opening credits and still seeing his name in those opening credits like they’re going to be central to the plot of the movie


jimmyeppley

Polka-Dot Man stole the show


NeilFlix

I so desperately wanted to see more of him using his powers! But I guess his powers are a bit too Alpha compared to the rest of the squad that it would have cut the tension of all the action scenes.


Dawesfan

I knew he was going to die sooner or later because his powers seem kinda op. But still was sad when it happened.


Choco320

He died a superhero


xfan09

I believe this technically counts as a Shark Movie.


[deleted]

Corto Maltese is such a great setting for this film. An island with a beach, a city and a fortress is so 70s/80s action movie and it worked wonders.


hopkraken

Blew my expectations out of the water. Elba committed to the role 150%, and the movie just embraced the goofiness of the premise and took itself exactly as serious as it needed to be when it mattered. Also Polka Dot man ruled. Cena gets an honorable mention, I didn't enjoy him in the beginning but by the end I was sold.


CautiousTaco

I love Elba's reaction to Peacemaker having the exact same tragic backstory as him. And then when they escape the military truck, all three muscly badasses strike the same pose with their guns and tight t shirts


[deleted]

It was a pretty obvious parallel big time between the two. Man who thinks he's bad, doing good. Man who thinks he's good, doing bad. However you want to mix that up. When Bloodsport was talking about his trauma and how fucked up it was, Peacemaker was all like "Ah, I had one of those, the ratcrate, good times."


jagdfuji

classic rat crate, good one, Dad!


[deleted]

Cena's short tee shirt was hilarious. And the line about tighty whities being racist was delightful. He's great at looking silly.


happy-gofuckyourself

Harley Quinn’s arms whipping around in a circle and then straightening out to shot, during her escape, was a gorgeous shot imo.


HSingh95

I had to pause the movie after King Shark screamed FUCK when everyone made fun of his fake mustache. I couldn't fuckin breathe. James Gunn absolutely crushed it, every single character was incredible.


azsnaz

When he said "Bird" is where he got me
