When less is more. The new Suicide Squad trailer proves it. It feels almost as bad as the godawful Dawn of Justice trailers. The last trailer they did for SS was enough, but they just couldn't help themselves, they had to keep going until it got awkward. Like the DOJ trailers it's overlong and badly slapped together. But unlike the DOJ trailers, you don't get the feeling that the material being used in the trailers is just as awful as the trailer itself. The least cringey parts of a total shitshow.

At this point, the movie looks like it won't turn out too badly, that's the feeling I get. But DC's handling of their product seems nervous and shabby as per usual. It's like they're a sports team who puts effort in, but they don't really believe they can win the game, so it all comes out unpolished and sloppy. Frustrating to watch.

It's hard to get your head in the game when everyone around you is literally criticizing you and telling you you're just riding on the coat tails of others but that you HAVE to do it anyways. And that every mistake you make is going to make things worse and worse for the rest of your life.

I don't even watch DC trailers anymore. They have a bad habit of showing the entire film in a few minutes, which makes it hard to be surprised when anything happens.

Oi its fucking badass fyi

No, just DC in general. No matter what DC does they're going to get shit for it. Either they do what they're doing now and commit to their EU but get yelled at on one side with "Riding Marvel's coat tails!" "You'll never be as good as Marvel!" "Marvel is way better!" or they don't do it at all and get yelled at from the other side "You HAVE to do this!" "Where's our JL movie?!" "DON'T YOU FUCK THIS UP!"

There's literally no winning for DC in this position.

Talking about Zack Snyder?

Yeah. I'd give it a 6/10. If they absolutely had to cram all of that godforsaken plot into one movie, then they did it. But I wouldn't say they did a great job of it.

Brownie points for Batfleck and Wonder Woman, a retraction for the unnecessary change of Lex's character. And the DAROS adaptation in the last 20 minutes was really unnecessary. Would have been a better movie without it.

I'm reserving my judgement until I see the film.

I think the trailers have been decent so far, but nothing has really sold me on whether or not this will be a good movie. I appreciate how little they've given away about the plot within all the trailers but with four months to go I'm sure this will change.

There's plenty of potential for this to be great. Most of the characters have never been on the big screen so it should be a playground for anyone that appreciates the material. The director and cast is solid.

I'm staying optimistic at this point, although if it sucks, this will be DC's third strike for me and I'll have lost faith in the entire franchise.

Yeah, I feel optimistic at this point. The acting looks solid enough, it's simply a matter of how they put the film together. That was basically DOJ's biggest weakness... it was like they filmed all the scenes, threw em in a loose but workable order and walked away or whatever. So much could have been cut. The part where they preview the other Justice League members felt like a cheap piece of television and spoiled the mood (such as it was) completely. But that sadly doesn't even excuse the essential parts that were bad. Worst Batman origins scene ever.

I see EVERY move you make. I have back-up accounts and they're all subscribed to you as well. I keep a journal of notes for a book. And once the book has been published I'll read the 'All characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental' part to myself with great satisfaction. I tell you this now because I believe that nothing can stop me.

Well I legit am fictitious so jokes on you.
