Suicide Squad spinoff coming in January, first clip dropped today



eh! Looking forward to the series tho, I think Gunn wrote/directed every ep

this is out! First three eps dropped today

ep 1 was...a mixed bag. The trailer definitely was indicative of the humor of the show unfortunately, i.e. a lot of the jokes didn't land for me. Think I laughed like once

that said, Gunn sure knows how to direct a fun action scene, even on a TV budget apparently. That alone made me wanna stick with it

ep 4	+
the Matter Eater Lad namedrop!! I hope he has a cameo at some point Vigilante is slowly growing on me after HATING him at first. Still feels too Deadpool-ish tho

plot's getting more interesting, humor's still just as iffy, the action is still good even though they've yet to top the end of ep 1

The intro really does get better every time

🧜‍♂️

ep 5

+

what a cute ep for the most part! Knew some shit was gonna have to go south by the end, the team was getting too happy-go-lucky. Adebayo going ahead with planting the diary was way more brutal than the ending. Though it seems like she's less assuming her role as Waller's daughter and more just too scared to defy orders. Either way p sad :( I liked the scene of them together before that knew that escaped gorilla was gonna come into play somehow (: The whole sequence in the factory was p fun. The x-ray kills were a NEAT idea

iirc Gunn said ep 6 was his favorite of the show so that's p exciting

the police station scene was gr8. Show's definitely picking up

ep 6	+
kinda confused about the diary thing tho. So Waller told her to plant it, which paints Peacemaker as a crazy person who killed an innocent senator's family for no reason...which ultimately the butterflies take advantage of. So is Waller a butterfly then?? Not sure what it was SUPPOSED to accomplish otherwise

ep 7	+
that moment with Eagly hugging Peacemaker while Adebayo watched on was like the quintessential Gunn scene. Weirdly emotional despite the absolute absurdity of it all. Harcourt saying goodbye to Murn's butterfly was kinda along those lines too the White Dragon plot ended up being kinda w/e tbh. Vigilante could've died there, he still does pretty much nothing for me
