>If DC is the conservative comic-book universe to Marvel’s pseudo-progressivism, it couldn’t be more unpopular among kids who enjoyed the ludicrous platitudes of Avengers: Age of Ultron.
>They both (Snyder and Ayer) approach a childish genre like adults — and that’s what annoys the Marvel kids, whose bad rap on Suicide Squad has already gone viral.
>Think metaphorically again, and see that Suicide Squad entangles post-Vietnam and post-9/11 notions about heroism and citizenship. Deadshot does the right, patriotic thing, yet compliments Waller, his treacherous superior, saying, “That’s gangsta!” This use of hip-hop cynicism speaks more directly to modern confused ethics than most lines from other movies and most politicians. Suicide Squad is The Dirty Dozen for millennial viewers (and voters), who think their patriotic moral conflict is new.
Cause nothing says approaching something like an adult, more than blaring Kanye West and Eminem in scenes where they don't fit.

they can't >yfw Enchantress' zombies were literally Marveldrones, enslaved by enticing but fleeting pleasure and fantasies in order to do the bidding of a tyrant (Disney), who has the goal of homogenizing opinion and attitude, destroying individualism
Logan Lewis
I can dig Armond's reviews but this movie is shit. I can't believe he's defending it.
Connor Ramirez
Is Based Armond right?
Sebastian Cox
Well it's rotten on RT, so this isn't surprising in the least.

CIA, does he has a dick?
Chase Peterson
Armond thinks Transformers 2 is a masterpiece.
Luis Evans
So in CA: WS if Captain tells Robert Redfords character thats gangsta they are on the same level
or would Cap have to tell that to Stark when they are talking about creating Vision?
either way its sounds like a cheap way to distinguish the two
Camden Wright
isn't there some irreconcible contradiction in approaching, as an adult, a format built around people dressing up as clowns to punch each other?
> It is baffling to me that a critic could praise "Transformers 2" but not "Synecdoche, New York." Or "Death Race" but not "There Will be Blood." I am forced to conclude that White is, as charged, a troll. A smart and knowing one, but a troll.
Nolan Jones
CIA confirms it.
Will that closet case suck it?

>not listening to the lyrics >implying it wasn't clever to use pop songs to pin each characters' personality and pop archetype
>These comic-book characters are interesting in ways that abandon the nihilism Christopher Nolan brought to the previous Batman franchise, which merely continued Tarantino’s jokey, sadistic film noir. Snyder and Ayer are temperamentally opposed to such agnosticism and so find themselves competing against the most popular (commercial) aspects of the superhero genre. Yet they’re also more skilled filmmakers. Each Squad member’s backstory is introduced with a pop-song signature (Kanye West’s volatile “Black Skinhead” makes Deadshot’s the most powerful).

He praised Transformers?

Transformers 2 was on his top 10 of the year from memory.
Guy is a clickbait contrarian. There's a reason he's no longer with a reputable publisher and his review aren't used for metacritic or rotten tomatoes.
He simply says the opposite of the general consensus in horrifically verbose pseudo-intellectual reviews.

Henry Hill
Most of that piece is actually a good defense of Armond White, I agree with the original piece more than the edit at the top.
Oliver Bennett
Imagine what his review would expect like if the film was critically acclaimed
Camden Baker
Probably similar to his Dark Knight review, he pretty much spent the entire review trashing Heath Ledger's acting.
Brayden Barnes
if I pull that mask off, will you die??
Oliver Watson
d-did he say ideology?
Jonathan Ward
Well he sounds like the guy in high school that always looked for a philosophical meaning on a blank wall or a toilet paper
