Is it just me or WB's seems confused what to do with Harley? Margot Robbie is great in the role, but it's not working in BoP or TSS. I still think her best outing was SS, she seemed more of a character unto herself in that - they've lost something in translation in thinking her problem was being tied to the Joker, because whatever it is I think they killed what made her work in that film.
As I think about it, I agree with you. Though I didn't like the first Suicide Squad much, they probably did handle Harley better than the other films. Part of the problem may be that Harley is good in small doses, but if you overexpose her then the flaws become more and more evident. When she first showed up it was fairly novel and interesting (even though many of us were very familiar with her from the Animated Series), but the character doesn't have anywhere else to really go from there. I feel the same way about, say, Deadpool. A little goes a long way. But since she is essentially the DC equivalent of Deadpool they want to maximize her popularity by putting her in everything.

Yeah, at first I thought it was kind of mean to kill Polka-Dot Man but when I think about it as much as I liked him seeing his mom everywhere I don't think that that joke would have had the longevity to continue on into future films.
See I think he had a lot of potential to grow as a character and to be used in different ways in different films. He starts off as suicidal, has major issues with his mom, but starts to develop some confidence and friendship, then. . .gets killed. Unlike Harley. I guess it's character development that she goes from loving Joker to wanting to kill Joker, but she doesn't really learn anything or change over time. She's just wacky and unpredictable, enjoys committing acts of violence, has a tendency for getting out of tight situations you wouldn't expect her to, etc., but is who she is so you know precisely what you are getting in the next film.

To Marvel's credit, they certainly do let characters grow and change--e.g., Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Scarlet Witch, etc.

I'm not sure I understand this poster.

Its not action heroes of the 80's... not only because Vader is there but also '92 Batman and '91 Arnold.

It's not Big Stars... again, Vader and Robocop.

It has to be.... Famous Sequels.... or maybe Satisfying Sequels? But then, what's Robocop doing there?

Just a cool poster of action heroes. Some of you are too far gone now. 😆

RoboCop looks to have the darker blue sheen from RoboCop 2. Can anyone place the car crash? Looks familiar but that obviously wasn't the style of car used for the police in the RoboCop films.
 

I'm happy enough with my Vader, Robo, and Terminator figures but HT really needs to take another shot at Indy and bring him up to today's standards. I love the DX05 as a set but it's really looking dated nowadays. The next time someone sees Howard Chan they need to ask him if he actually hates Harrison Ford and if we will ever see Han or Indy again. I'll give Howard a bit of credit, in his last interview he seemed pretty willing to speak his mind.
 
Deathstroke is too badass to fit in this movie. I'm glad he wasn't in it and deserves a bigger stage. Why there isn't an HBO MAX series with Joe Manganiello is baffling. Instead, we get ****** bro (who actually wasn't bad in it).
