of course he was, how cool is a boy scout who can tie knots? they followed the source material pretty close with captain boomerang testing the bombs.

I can see why Ayer chose his characters, and totally love it.

Slipknot - we needed someone to be a lesson about.

Flag - someone not dedicated for the squad. He pretty much only stayed for June. He could give less of a **** for the mission.

Boomerang - my way for justifying him is how he does not follow the rules. Someone who isn't gonna be killed off, but needs to be shown how you cannot two-step Waller. Plus I feel he was used to show off Flash and connect more outside of Superman or Batman.

Deadshot - he was used to show a leader and someone that is human. His character and reason for doing the mission regardless of the bomb, is for his daughter. He does everything for her, and that is all that matters. He cares what she sees and thinks about him. He's not a Joker. He's a bad guy, but not psychotic.

Diablo - a villain who reformed himself before going in. He is someone that is very realistic. He is someone with power, but afraid of losing himself. He doesn't want to be treated as a weapon, he wants to be a man seeking redemption.

Croc - Waller said he was chased out of Gotham seeking sanctuary. Sum it up, he felt like he was part of something. Everyone was disgusted by him, but notice no one on the Squad said jack **** to him. Harley only messed with him.

Harley - she's probably the best choice. Someone crazy that seems so lovable despite being so...****ing...crazy! She is a very fleshed out. She is someone that seems so lost between Harley and Harleen. Notice the little parts where she analyzes people, but also where she enjoys being the crazy person. She isn't evil like Deadshot. These characters either question their motives, in either a positive or negative way; or ultimately are misunderstood. Their story isn't meant to seek pity, but are misinterpreted by everyone.

I can go deeper into it, but my table just got called for dinner.

If you reversed the captions on those two pictures, photoshopped a **** ton of potholes onto that road, and had it break off into a deadly cliff at the end, we could agree about Suicide Squad.

I don't agree with pturtle's opinion that Trank should be respected for telling the truth and Ayer called out for lying about his creative decisions.

Ayer has shown maturity by proving thru his actions that he can work within a system that is ALL about collaboration, he's a big person for seeing the job thru to the end EVEN in the face of a massive attack from the professional critics. He stood his ground and said "THIS IS OUR MOVIE, THIS IS MY MOVIE, DEAL WITH IT!"

Trank is a small man, pathetically unprofessionally, a whining child who crumbled because he couldn't handle being around teams of adults working towards a common goal so he decided to lash out with a mind blowing career ending suicide statement which showed just how truly incompatible he was to a system that heavily relies on a give and take process.

If Ayer's end result is that he also saved his ass with his studio-film support statements then good for him, he's fighting for a career he cares about, to live and fight another day.

I remember reading an interview where Ayer said one of his biggest goals was proving to himself he could make a CB movie, - and the dude put the closest thing to a comic book on film for his fist time out.

Goes to show that he can do his job, even if it's something he's unsure of (like Trank) and point his finger towards himself or whoever is responsible honestly. guy has my upmost respect.

I never said Trank should be respected, but I do find it weird that people are getting upset at him for basically telling the truth, but people are praising Ayer for lying. I'm looking at it from a consumer POV. These men will be making decent money for the rest of their lives, I'm sure even Trank will find work soon that'll you pay more than most of our jobs do.

I don't care about either one of them personally, that's what I'm getting at, but if I'm paying hard earned money for a movie, I at least appreciate Trank's tweet whether it came from a good place or not, he saved a lot of people money from watching some crappy movie that the studio tried putting together late in the game. Ayer might be more mature, but he's still lying in order to get people to pay to see a movie he probably didn't even edit, or considers good so that the studio that probably ruined the movie can make their budget back. How does that help us in anyway? I really don't care what either guy does for his own well being or the studios.

You're going to feel a massive wave of indifference when you get home from work and see it.

I just saw it!

Jye's comments weren't assumptions though? All we can go by the internet reports and Difabio, and I trust Difabio a lot more than the internet so Jye is technically the one that's reaching here

Who goes into Hollywood expecting to have things go 100% their way?

He should've never been in that system to begin with.

Besides, I don't need Trank to save me my $20 because I went to see it anyways.

Yea same here

I'm not saying 100% his way but based on reports on that movie behind the scenes was rather unique.

He made a solid movie that made them loads of cash before that so I can't say he shouldn't be working in Hollywood as a director, but all I'm saying that movie didn't deserve to make its budget back and I'm glad it didn't. Ayer or Trank's career has nothing to do with me, only my 20 bucks I care about and my time at the movies

My issue with Trank was that he acted like his **** was the cure for cancer and then would occasionally throw at us a "**** you" here and there with MBJ.
