Though in all seriousness, it's not even the appearance thing. Even though it's definitely not my cup of tea, I also know there are a lot of people into furry characters etc. It's more the whole mass murderer who eats people and has the brain capacity of a severely mentally handicapped person element. It's like sexualising Forrest Gump if he decided to go on a random killing spree.

But hey, to each their own, I guess.

Agreed. I can easily imagine some weird chicks having a thing for X-Mens Beast. But for King Shark… that is super weird.

It's not that weird. Every metahuman and other fictional creatures have been sexualized on the Internet (whether we like it or not, some are truly disturbing).

As for Beast --- a classic example of zoophiliac fantasies, yes. Grant Morrison even pointed that out in the 616-canon New X-Men run.

King Shark is not a smart Shark, but he knows what love is.

I watched this again and it's so fu#king great. That whole last act is so bonkers and entertaining.

I wanted to learn some of the music that he used for the film before I watched it again so I payed attention to how he used the songs this time. It's so good.

looked like he was broken in like a canine when bloodsport beat the shit out of him. after that, if bloodsport ordered him to bite off ratcatcher's head, he probably would have (while being confused over it, of course)

The film's box office failure is a mixture of factors, despite it obviously being way better than the previous one.

COVID is a major complication for sure, but the previous film left such a sour taste in the mouths of fans, despite it's huge box office take. (DC was apologizing for it just days after the release.) People don't trust Harley Quinn movie projects it seems - Birds Of Prey was a major box office disappointment despite some good notices, and COVID didn't play a role there. I thought Harley had a cult that would follow her like Deadpool, but that's not the case.

Didnt help that Birds of Prey absolutely sucked.

The simultaneous HBO release also played a factor for this. But then that didnt stop Kong vs Godzilla making money.

The first bit of the movie was not what I expected at all.

I found BOP to be entertaining even though I didn't like Cassandra Cain's character. It's fresh on Rotten tomatoes, so it has to be decent, right?

Like the previous poster said, I wasn't expecting the first bit of the movie, which was bonkers. Overall, great film. Hopefully Peacemaker's show is good, too.

i really liked the film but the story jumps around too much which causes flow problems for the way the story is told

Finally watched this. It was better than the first film to be sure; it didn't get put through the editing blender like the first film, and you feel James Gunn's hand on the wheel. Still, I did feel like I had been shoved through a meat grinder by the end. The R-rating was likely another factor in the box office failure.

DC & Warners have got to stop with the R-rating, at least for the DCEU/DCU properties. They aren't good with it, not like the Marvel/Fox films like Deadpool and Logan. Deadpool is gory but funny, while Suicide Squad just feels trashy, like a megabudget Troma property.

^ I think they just gave Gunn free reign tbh.

It flopped for 3 reasons:

1) Bad taste in audiences from the first one plus more recently from the atrocious Harley Quinn movie
2) Simultaneous release on HBO (audiences werent fully back to theatres)
3) And Yeah the R rating didnt help the box office, but the tone of the film probably did require it.

In short, this movie never had a chance at the box office.

I mean, we were still in COVID land at that time too. Even the MCU films sans Spider-man (which released at the very end of the year) underperformed by their standards (but still made more than Suicide Squad admittedly, at least partly due to the reasons outlined most likely).
