It feels like they've been trying to make the suicide squad a success for 10 years now and failing so hard
All they have to do is stop forcing zoomer Harley and use less known villains
Suicide Squad sucks
A Deathstroke game would have been better.
Anon I hope you see this post but you are literally so fricking right about this and also probably everything else
This, but they would still find a way to frick it up.
They aren't trying to make Suicide Squad happen they are trying to make the Suicide Squad into their Guardians of the Galaxy, quirky team of misfit outlaw anti-heroes.
This is mostly a movie thread.
But... yes, it's actually fricking surreal.
The amount of money being pumped into Birds of Prey and Suicide Squad and... just the entire DC universe and all its associated marketing is almost incomprehensible... But every single thing it has produced has been an unbearable flop of corporate produced slop.
Like we talk about soul vs soulless on this board.... but it's not actually hard to give something a little soul, or accidentally make soul while fumbling in the dark.
But there's none of that here, in the entire franchise.
The entire thing is extruded corn snacks, except they couldn't even get the ridiculous fake cheese flavour. So they're all plain. It's just plain corn puffs from floor to ceiling.
While we are at the food analogies, I'd say most of marvel is like mcdonalds food, but they even forgot to add the artificial flavoring that addicts you to the food. It's bland and made to repulse the client.
they keep the same lineup in most of the media they're trying to shill, aka Harley Deadshot Boomerang King Shark etc. with some variations here and there which misses the point, it's not a villain Justice League it's literally a bunch of disposable criminals
>they keep the same lineup in most of the media they're trying to shill
Which is why this concept will never EVER work
>Boy oh boy i wonder who will die, the homosexual that hasn't been in any mainstream media since the fricking 60s or the girl that DC is shilling in fricking everything
>*snaps SAG-AFTRA whip*
They will learn to lose money and like it. I know it's their fetish.
>*snaps pay cut whip*
I'm genuinely wondering how they keep making this idea flop so hard so consistently.
I feel like the premise isnt even nessarily bad but some how ALL the projects relating to it has just been back to back failures and lukewarm responses
They only got two movies and one game. Which is a lot more than many other comics get I admit but it's easy to understand the push. They know Joker and Harley are popular so they want to cash in on that and they want to have some sort of quirky obscure team like Guardians of the Galaxy, it's why they hired the director of those movies to make the second one. The game is the weird thing but I assume it's the only DC group that you can sort of turn into a live service shooter which is what WB wanted to make in the first place. What else were the gonna do, a Sgt Rock live service shooter?
Make a street level criminal thug game fashioned after GTA online. The wanted system at 5 stars deploys one of the Justice League to take you down.
Boom. Game of year.
they keep treating it as a superhero thing when it should be spec ops with superpowers
It's because Harley Quinn hijacks everything she's in, and the character was not designed to be anything more than a comedic sidekick for the Joker. When she is the protagonist or the primary antagonist, she generally falls flat, and since she has no superpowers, she offers nothing to a team like Task Force X.
But they keep pushing her because:
A. They want her to be DC's Deadpool
B. She sells to the female market
It's so dumb, you know who the primary audience for Madame Web was? MALE. Do you know who the primary audience that watched The Marvels was? MALE
IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT DUDES. GET MONEY FROM DUDES, SUCK THEIR DICKS DRY OF MONEY. FRICK WOMEN.
They refuse to learn this lesson because the dollar signs appear in their eyes. They know that if they can capture even a small portion of the female demographic without losing the males they've already got, they'll make bank. But the reality is you cant tweak the formula much without losing as many men as you gain women. Women just aren't interested in comicbook movies. Never have been, never will be.
>suicide squad movie is one of the biggest box office successes of the dc movie universe along side aquaman
>it was absolutely destroyed in post production and was disliked by critics
>THE suicide squad movie was one of the biggest box office bombs of the dc movie universe
>total creative control for the director and considered one of the best movies to have come out of dc ever
Why are people like this
Every single DC movie was garbage
>see suicide squad
>god that movie was dogshit
>see they're making a sequel to the worst movie you've ever seen
>don't go to see it
Have DC never heard of the phrase fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me? Who would ever go see a sequel to this garbage no matter how good?
I don't understand why they keep trying to make the suicide squad think work. If I had to guess it's because they want Harley in their movie but they can't get a non girl boss version of her. Didn't she have a solo movie that sucked ass too? I forgot it even existed. But her solo movie failed to work they decide to go back to suicide squad because she still gets to be girl boss there.
Everyone fricking hates this shit and they can't get it to work because movies costs too much now to take actual risk to make the story in any way interesting (you can't get them to be legit c**ts, you need them to be edgy justice league because the audience might not like that!)
>Have DC never heard of the phrase fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me?
Holy frick, are you a wizard?
Not yet, but I'm under 3 years of becoming one.
I hope I get to be a thunder wizard.
The only good depiction of the Suicide Squad is in the Flashpoint Paradox animation.
That is what they should be. Expendable superpowered goons going all out on other superpowered goons without holding back, unlike the superheroes. Fricking DC keeps turning them into edgy justice league instead of leveraging their villanous nature to show metahumans using their powers to kill instead of protect.
Look dude, they made this complicated because they wanted to be hipsters. They could have just made a straight up game. But they didn't and now David Zaslav is about to slit their throat. This was all preventable. Never be a hipster if you want money.
honestly I like the shark and boomerang guy and wish they were in a completely different game
WB is just chasing that Suicide Squad movie pre-release high.
God she's ugly.
The face animation is very good, yet still ugly
Ugliness can be endearing, but flat asses never are
ew
Why make it a shooter? They could have kept the BamHam formula with some retooling to make every character unique
>Deathstroke is the stealthiest one and can use guns after achieving 'X' hit combos for quick ranged kills, besides that he's the most Batman-like in gameplay
>Boomerang is squishy but relies on throwing boomerangs with their niches like freezing (just say captain cold made them for him), stun, scanning, etc. He's the best when it comes to crowd control
>HQ is the demolitionist expert, she's squishy but unlike Boomer she's fast and hits hard, like in her dlc after getting 'X' hit combos she enters a frenzy mode, as i said she uses explosive jack in the boxes, grenades tied to balloons and shit
>Bane/King Shark is a tank through and through, he can take everything you throw at him and hits like a tank, but you need to perform executions or else you'll become weaker
fun game, shame the Gankereddit hate campaign gave people the wrong opinion about the game, but I guess thats modern gaming for you
nothing but shills and bots at this point
>said the DC shill
How come Arrow never joined the Justice League?
I would have killed for a Suicide Squad game if it was more like Commandos/Shadow Tactics/etc where you have a preselected or chosen team to run stealthy missions sneaking in and getting back out unscathed. Every character has their own unique abilities to distract or eliminate guards. Some levels would have an actual superhero on patrol that you would have to jump through extra hoops to avoid or incapacitate.
Would it have sold like shit? Maybe but frick so did this turd. And at least it would be more novel than yet another numbers go up battle pass looter shooter.
The funniest part of the scene where they kill batman is that the morons included a loud sound effect of a casing hitting the ground after Harley shoots him WITH A REVOLVER. The creatures who made this game are clinically moronic.
The original Ostrander Suicide Squad run was so good but now we're stuck with awful Harley Queen Suicide Squad forever.
They have, and it has. In all fairness though, Peacemaker was pretty solid, but it had nothing they could parlay into the larger SS project.
I think they could make a Peacemaker movie actually do well if they went nuts with it. Just make something totally fricking DGAS out there, and put one or two other SS characters in it in subroles and give them an equally bizzare treatment. The only thing about TSS that really worked, was the willingness to just be weird.
Afterthought on my own post, that's actually what made Doom Patrol work out as well.
Seems like they only do good work when they're doing something off its nut.
looking forward to see how many players balatro will get
need more examples for men in suits at AAA to see how wrong they are
>high casualty rate expected
>different abilities
>enemies can we whatever
Remind me why the concept of the suicide squads isn't perfect for an XCOM-style game?
Because we need Fortnite money
because they don't want the squad to be actually expendable (except for the absolute D-listers) they want another super team "but villains"
i wanna play it cause i like capeshit but i dont want to pay for it. you know how people like to say that games on pc go on sale quickly especilally if the game flopped? well this shit is full price everywhere and shows no signs of going down flop or otherwise and it has devuvo so cant pirate
