We have the new trailer for The Suicide Squad!
Which looks as batpoop bizarre as you'd expect, really.
Also - Harley Quinn in that red dress? *fans self*

They are really not avoiding social issues here, huh?
Although, seriously Marvel, the Queerbaiting?! Again?! Get them together and/or address it explicitly, or cut it out entirely, ok?
I'm totally loving this series though - hope it'll stay as awesome as it is now!

I watched the first Suicide Squad a while ago closer to when it first came out and I'll be honest and say I wasn't thrilled with it. I think I enjoy more light-hearted humour in my superhero movies. Harley Quinn looks stunning in this trailer though!
ReplyDeleteYeah I can understand that - there were a few narrative/structural issues with Suicide Squad too. But things like that and Deadpool totally appeal to my warped brand of humour ;)
DeleteAnd she most definitely does! Lol.
