>GOTG comes out >MARVEL MARVEL YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN >MARVEL CAN'T LOSE >THE BOX OFFICE IS PROOF THAT MARVEL HAS FOUND THEIR WINNING FORMULA >UNPRECEDENTED SUCCESS, AND IN AUGUST NO LESS!!!
>Suicide Squad opens >Yeah, yeah, big opening weekend - but it will sink like a stone >DC just can't seem to get it right >Disastrous reception all around >Should the DCEU be rebooted? >WB better get their fucking act together >DCEU is an unmitigated embarrassment >Hopefully they can turn it around
Why are the standards for success so different for these two companies?
Cus one was good and didn't make as much money. The other was worse but made more money cus it was marketed falsely to a wider audience. It's actually very simple
Levi Price
One came first. It's as simple as that.
Robert Cox
The critic sites are run by faggy sjw nu-males. Batman punched a women in the face. How'd you think these fucking four eyed losers would react.
Aaron Brooks
Guardians is going to outgross Suicide Squad domestically, it already beat Batman v Superman and there's no way Suicide Squad is gonna beat Batman v Superman.
Jaxson Stewart
>one was good They're both capeshit, so "good" does not apply to either.
Logan Collins
lel wat
Carson Gray
>>GOTG comes out
LOL FUCKING WHO MARVEL'S FIRST FLOP, MARVEL IS FINISHED
fixed that for you, you sure have a bad memory pal.
Bentley Martin
Conversation is terminated now that you've made a general judgement about a genre as a whole so can't look at things objectively. What a shit guy
Wyatt Ramirez
God you DC cucks are pathetic, this movie was absolute garbage.
Alexander Kelly
Because Guardians of the Galaxy was a novelty - something new and a risk for Marvel.
Suicide Squad ain't nothing special any more
Parker Flores
Without GotG boldly an nobly blazing the trail, Suicide Squad would have failed.
Ayden Mitchell
>GOTG is ANNOUNCED >LOL FUCKING WHO MARVEL'S FIRST FLOP
>GOTG is RELEASED >MARVEL CAN I SUCK YOUR COCK AGAIN
Fixed that for you.
Robert Fisher
And then the other so obviously copied that.
Nathan Wilson
What, because of the soundtrack?
Camden Foster
>movie heavily marketed with joker and batman (who combined have no more than 7 minutes of screen time) and Harley Quinn and will smith made more money that literally who: the film
Colton Young
It's fucking outrageous. Marvel has never copied DC. How is it even legal?
Joseph Russell
I'll give you Joker... but fucking Batman? There were one - MAYBE two shots of him released in trailers.
Nolan Cooper
>Dark knight quadrilogy was dark and successful >all DCEU is dark and unsuccessful
What is happening? Is success so elusive?
Nathan Baker
Keep backpedaling, Sup Forums was even rallying behind TMNT to beat it at the box office which it did for like 2 weeks before it went to number 1 again.
you sure seem hung up on penises.
Nathan Phillips
>A rag tag bunch of B-List comic book characters reluctantly band together to defeat a common enemy in an end of the world scenario with plenty of quips and cameo appearances by characters within a shared universe But yeah, just the soundtrack.
Jose Ross
>bat mobile shot >shit of batman diving off something >shot of batman entering water >shot of batman latching onto street light with his grappling gun >shot of him carrying Harley Quinn to bat mobile
They exploited him as much as you could exploit 40 seconds of total screen time.
Ryder Campbell
>This is what DCucks actually believe
Nolan Baker
>Guardians of the Galaxy was a novelty - something new and a risk for Marvel. >it ends up being a success FUCK YEAH MARVEL finally a movie for us nu males! Take that Alpha DC bros!
>Suicide Squad was a novelty - something new and a risk for DC. >it ends up being even more of a success Wtf I hate DC now this is literally the Donald Trump of cinematic universes, sexist, racist, fascist even. Vote Marvel and vote for Hilary in 2016!
Ryder Wood
This iteration of the Suicide Squad predates Marvel's iteration of Guardians of the Galaxy. But no, you're right, it's clearly plagiarism.
Elijah King
>good
Both had shitty villains but besides Bradley Coopers 2/10 voice acting I enjoyed guardians more
Though from a purely technical view point both are probably 7/10 FlŁÏÇKŠ
Robert Flores
(You)
Sebastian Rivera
But Skwad has no chance of beating GotG in the box office. Your argument couldn't be more invalid
Carter Reed
>Faggots actually believe this Can you only think of things in terms of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton or are you just pretending to be retarded?
Nathaniel Phillips
To be fair, the retro-cool pop music soundtrack built into the movie as a commentary on the narrative was a really cool touch. Back when I saw it in Zack Snyder's Watchmen.
Brandon Gonzalez
I'm sure you will get the same answers as the last time you made this thread you dumb piece of shit
Justin Long
>it ends up being even more of a success
Suicide Squad won't beat Guardians, its frontloaded as fuck. It'll even out at the 600-650 mil range leaving Guardians on top.
Xavier Nelson
You DC and marvel fans make console dick riders seem tame by comparison
Colton Smith
Because one of those movies was a nice surprise that nobody thought would be successful and the other has some of the biggest names in comics and fell flat on its face because of editing and a horrific story that made no sense.
Adrian Reyes
We aren't talking about comic book iterations here, friend.
Jace Butler
BvS didn't beat GotG at the domestic box office
I guarantee SS will be far from beating it when it's out of theaters
Gabriel Baker
your tears make all this more enjoyable
Cameron Rodriguez
SS made more on the Monday than Civil War and Deadpool, but you won't find any sites writing about that,
Why are bloggers/journalists constantly writing about SS being a "box-office failure" but they barely write shit for movies like X-men or Ghostbusters?
David Ward
Suicide Squad needed heavy marketing by Batman (their most popular hero) and Joker (their most popular villain) and Harley to trick people into seeing the movie.
GOTG was an unknown property that turned out to be really good on its own. Without featuring any popular Marvel characters to help it out.
William Reyes
Literally the only reason SS gets so much hate from critics is because they thought the abusive Joker/Quinn relationship was problematic.
If Quinn had some agency and refused to be 'saved' from prison in the end this would have gotten at least 80+ % on RT.
Ian Ramirez
>turned out to be really good on its own
le talking tree man dancing xD le raccoon so funnay :^)
Found the reddit
Nathaniel Thomas
>DCucks take this movie seriously >Director call this shit "art"
Angel Watson
gotg = 9gag ss = ifunny
Nicholas King
Wait, is this actually in the fucking movie?
They introduce the characters with title cards?
Adrian Johnson
everyone was hyped about the movie because the trailer looks cool but ended up being dissapointing
very simple reasoning, DC tricked you
Noah Murphy
yep
Christian Gomez
>A bunch of nobodies (BOTH CHARACTERS AND ACTORS)
>3 of the most popular DC characters (Batman, Joker and Harley, and I'd even dare to say "THE 3 MOST POPULAR"), plus Will Smith and Cara Delevigne
Gee I wonder why do they consider it a flop?
Nicholas Diaz
WHEN WILL THE WARNER BROS SHILLS LEAVE
ITS NOT FUNNY ANYMORE
Landon Thomas
Yes, and it's animated with cute SFX
Ryder Turner
basically
Luis Martinez
I like suicide squad im looking forward to dr.strange
There is a bias for marvel
I feel bad because movies like xmen first class got good reviews when it wasnt any better or worse than suicide squad.
Caleb Robinson
Literally cringed. Who wrote this a 13yo autistic kid?
Connor Morris
no one cares about harley
and i think no one cares about will smith now
Nathaniel Ramirez
Harley quinn is awesome
Christian Howard
Were talking movies and how DC is copying Marvel's formula for GotG.
David Watson
To be fair GoTG were no name actors and no name characters
SS has Leto, Smith and Joker, Batman.
If SS was good it would have made much more than that.
Dominic Foster
>no one cares about harley >Comic-Con most cosplayed character: Harley Quinn, normies and feminists loves her, Harley DLC for Arkham game has been the best selling DLC so far.
Samuel Jones
>Okay guys, these are obscure characters >No one knows who they are, so this movie is the perfect time to introduce them and help flesh out the world we're trying to build, and maybe through their interactions and experiences flesh out the heroes we're building up to with Justice League. >The best way to do this would be through their interactions with each other, their personalities, and the things they do during the movie, so anything that isn't explicitly spelled out can at least be discerned from subtle clues in the movie.
>But man that's a lot of fucking work and sounds really hard. >Dave, your 8 year old reads this comic shit right? >Have him write up a bio for these guys, then we'll slap it on screen for 2 seconds and call it a day.
Joshua Wright
this is Leto inspiration for the new cringy "joker"
Jacob Smith
>If SS was good it would have made much more than that. If we had Baleman vs Necksnapper, directed by Nolan, we had something to compete against Marvel, but WB picked the worse of the 2 directors and completely ditched TDK trilogy.
Angel Ward
>Good movie gets good reviews >Bad movie gets bad reviews
WHY ARE THEY SO BIASED
Kayden Gutierrez
>DCucks
Adam Lopez
You can literally see how Ayer's vision was scrambled by incompetent editors and execs. Real shame 2bh BvS was great tho
John Parker
BvS was poorly edited trash just like SS
Nathaniel Kelly
really makes me think
Jaxson Green
Suicide squad rode on guardians success. Marketing made it look like itd be dcs version of it. They hired the guys who did guardians trailer to edit their movie for fucks sake. So now instead of trying to compete with marvel instead of doing their own thing theyre copying them and hoping people dont realize. Its like that Asylum studio but the dc has a bigger name. And for the record everyone i know who saw the movie didnt like it, they were very excited from the trailer
Carter Torres
It was an editing masterclass compared to SS. SS was a music video tier abomination
Angel Nguyen
DC has gone full Marvel because they don't care about consistency, they want money.
WB probably thinks the capeshit fad is dying and is desperately trying to milk everything they can out of it.
Unfortunately, they don't realize they're the only capeshit movie company floundering right now.
Brandon Wright
>They hired the guys who did guardians trailer to edit their movie for fucks sake
Please tell that this is a joke.
Aiden Adams
It's true.
The thing that actually went around was that they "hired the company that made the Bohemian Rhapsody trailer", but it's the same company that made the GotG trailers, so...
Camden Brooks
>The critic sites are run by faggy sjw nu-males. I can confirm this.
Read this review: >Suicide Squad is a crushingly puerile semi-pornographic slog - review
>For here we have a motion picture in which a new incarnation of the classic Batman villain the Joker – essayed by Jared Leto as a kind of Halloween-themed version of Rik Mayall’s Richie, from the Nineties BBC sitcom Bottom – slurpingly offers up a sexual encounter with his girlfriend-stroke-protégé Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) to a fellow career crook as a kind of underworld bargaining chip.
>Here is a comic-book adaptation in which Batman (Ben Affleck) himself – one of the most universally beloved superheroes ever created – hauls Harley from the Gotham River, gives her creepily insistent mouth-to-mouth, then immediately pins her down by the throat, erotic asphyxia-style, when she comes around.
>Here is a film in which model-turned-actress Cara Delevingne gives not only a personal worst performance, but something close to a former-profession-worst performance, as a gyrating, bikini-clad villainess called Enchantress, who kisses men full on the lips to turn them into her slaves (of course!) and talks like Vanessa Redgrave on rhinoceros tranquiliser.
The guy gave it 2 out of 5 stars mainly because he hated the sexuality and adult themes in it.
And people say there is no Marvel biasism? YOU KNOW THERE FUCKING IS
And now I realized why WB trailers are better than the movies.
Jordan Torres
That doesn't mean the movie isn't garbage
Jayden Wright
it was an enjoyable fun ride from start to finish.
I do not understand the critics who fucking hate it to bits and give no positivity about it. SS was way better than BvS with fun and enjoyment
Eli Clark
he's 100% right about Delevigne being unbelievably bad though.
Andrew Evans
>this movie was absolute garbage. Suicide Squad is way better than Civil War with way better interesting characters and plots
Owen Reyes
Wow man you really are a great writer and critic wtf i love SS now
Caleb Butler
Okay, so a movie based on a comic book is not based on a comic book, but based on another movie based on a comic book because you made up a stupid opposite day rule? cool, friend.
>half the movie is them shooting helpless and harmless demon-things in darkly lit streets and buildings >fun
The bar scene was cool, and the Z-tier finale enjoyable in a so bad it's good way, and that's about it.
Isaac Perez
Yep. The movie will end around 600 million making it the lowest grossing DCEU film
Mason Morgan
Right, so I take it the Justice League movie is a rip-off of Avengers, even though the Avengers as a concept is a rip-off of the Justice League, right?
But as long as we're only talking movies, aren't all Marvel films just rip-offs of the old 1930's Superman adventure serials if you go back far enough?
Jace Roberts
good post.
Blake Kelly
Pretty much this.
Jeremiah Thomas
She was 100% cute on screen
Jaxon Richardson
And Superman is just a rip-off of the Odissey and the Illiad
Henry Myers
What the fuck kind of mental gymnastics are you doing? Suicide Squad, which directly takes it's story from two comic book storylines that predate the Guardians of the Giggleverse movie, is somehow ripping of Guardians of the Giggleverse?
Mason Gomez
>SS album no.1 on Billboard
>PEOPLE CAN'T BE ENJOYING THIS
Brandon Barnes
What the fuck does Superman have to do with the Odyssey? You had it with the Iliad, why keep going?
David Morgan
You are morons. Big budget hollywood adaptations of SS and JL are being released directly following marvel's equivalents.
Chase Evans
>>half the movie is them shooting helpless and harmless demon-things in darkly lit streets and buildings Did you even watch the movie? There was tons of subplots going on. There was only 3 small action scenes as well. Them roaming the streets didn't even feel that long at all.
What? This is seriously a lot more enjoyable than Civil War with way more interesting characters.
What would you rather watch Scarlet Johhansson's boring character over Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Joker, Batman etc?
Jeremiah Richardson
>no one likes the suicide squad soundtrack >is listed as a best seller in my store
This is all Marvel bias and propaganda trying to bring DC down and you all know it is.
I am not talking about the people on Sup Forums that say they hate it, I am talking about the thousands of reviewers who gave it negative reviews and didn't even mention 1 scene that they enjoyed out of it.
Yet the reviews say they cried during Civil War (no joke I read that) and that Civil War is the best super hero movie ever (one review said that).
Daniel Price
And Marvel Studios as a studio was established directly following Sony, Fox and WB's equivalents. Who fucking cares? If you want to argue who ripped off what you're fighting a losing battle. Marvel has been ripping off DC since before it was even called Marvel Comics. Marvel Studios did not invent the concept of the Superhero movie nor the Superhero teamup.
Jacob Butler
>Civil War is the best super hero movie ever (one review said that). Multiple reviews said that
Brandon Collins
This, half the critics are just nu-males angry they didn't get to see Will Smith fuck Harley.
Landon Bell
So what, does Marvel have a copyright on comic book movies now? No one else is allowed to make a comic book movie?
Hunter Lewis
You also won't ever see those reviewers give DC a positive review, even if that movie is great and panders completely towards them, because they're too deeply invested in hating them.
Christopher Howard
>He thinks critics give a shit about Marvel vs DC fanboy wars
Bad movies are bad no matter than type of fanbase they have.
