Like I said, pretty much everyone in my group agreed with me. Some even liked it more than Civil War.

The ones that thought SS was a better quality film than CA:CW, well, they need to be culled from society for the greater good.

630-650 is where it should land.

Kind of pointless, don't you think? They'll always be people who have preferences like that.

True, there will always be stupid people.

Must make you guys angry, right? 😂

Like stupid people who trash movies they have never seen.

I find people who insult others on their personal preference on the internet funny. Most of you probably wouldn't say that to someone's face.

It's just a movie, guys. 😂

A movie you're desperately trying to promote for almost 140 pages. It was the same with BvS.

Tell me, how much they pay you monthly for that? And... do they still hire? haermm

Yep.

Seeing as I've seen this movie, you just proved my point.

LOL I wonder how exactly names like Harley Quinn and Deadshot became the next "Transformers" franchise.

Sub-par/bad movies making tons of money. Sounds familiar to me 😬

Transformers has a huge name though. And almost everyone loved the first movie.

Where did Suicide Squad build a brand name from?

I didn't.

From the marketing. Batman, Joker are the most popular characters in DC. Harley is up there too. Way more popular than the transformers name before the movies came out. Even after the transformer movies came out Batman and the Joker are bigger names and SS was marketed showcasing them.

Most people I know don't even know who Harley was. lol. Marketing, they scaled back Batman/Joker for the most part. The marketing HIGHLY focused on the team, not Batman/Joker.

People I know who asked me about this film to a man assumed that Joker was the main villain since he's been featured in so much of the ads as well as the music videos and media coverage about Leto's pranks on set while getting in character for Joker. Joker and Batman are known commodities to the viewing public at large, particularly in a post The Dark Knight/Heath Ledger world. It makes good business sense to showcase Joker like WB did, but it's some used car salesman level ethics considering what you actually get in this film.
