They've done "real life" works like this in the run up to PPVs in the past, so I don't know why anyone would be surprised.

The single biggest plot "convenience" in the entire film, is the three of them showing up in Siberia at the same time. That's actually kind-of a compliment, because while it made for the most dramatic series of events, it wasn't technically necessary for Zemo's plan.

Surprised they would want to help people learn English - it'd make it much easier for them to understand whatever limited information they receive from the outside world.

I still think my favourite thing by them is "It's time for Tim & Sid! It's time for Tim & Sid!"

I look forward to Drax and Thor having a conversation. Or Starlord and pretty much anyone from Earth, considering how out-of-date his cultural point of reference is.

This is an article? Hey, guess what "news network" you were indirectly supporting every time you watched The Simpsons, or saw a 21st Century Fox movie, the past 20 years.

He thought a DC movie was going to be "more artistic" than what it ended up being? Give me a break.

Suicide Squad is having virtually the same drop-off as BvS did - 67%, instead of 69%. I highly doubt anyone at WB is toasting these weekend numbers.

The stories about how "method" Jared Leto was, kind of went from insufferable to hilarious, in light of how terrible his portrayal of the Joker ended up being. So much ink wasted on talking about how deep he was diving into the character, only for it to end up being a sprinkle of Scarface, and a massive dollop of Jim

If he sent actual "used" condoms to people, he'd have been fired from the movie, and probably subject to a lawsuit by whoever the victims were.

Not true. He decisively loses a fist fight in that nightclub, and gets thrown down onto the dance floor by the dude who played an agent in The Matrix. And the guy would have finished him off, if Wick didn't have an ankle piece.

Or have him break something, but then meekly apologize afterward.

I loved The Force Awakens - my big problem was just how obvious it was that they were essentially soft rebooting A New Hope, and telling mostly the same story.

I think it's the fact that the third act of superhero movies still always goes for the gigantic action set piece with everything exploding.

Suicide Squad should have taken place after Justice League 1 or 2, when they had some sort of HQ, or even the Watchtower. And much like the "Task Force X" episode of JLU, it should have featured them breaking in to steal/do something, while various members of the League make brief appearances just doing day-to-day

"The Incredible Hulk" has always held a strange place in the MCU canon, because outside of one line from Ruffalo about "breaking Harlem", and General Ross' sheer existence, they haven't really acknowledged the events in it. I constantly forget it's even part of the MCU.

Killing Joke and TDKR also feature pretty sinister versions of the Joker.

In the TAS episode I was referencing, Joker pushes her out a window while she has a look of shock on her face.

The thing that amuses me, is the realization of how often the writers for the CARTOON versions of these characters, ostensibly marketed at kids, often do a better job of portraying them with depth, and heart, and emotional layers.

Yeah, sometimes these lawsuits can be specious (I'm thinking of Paul Walker's family trying to sue Porsche, or the families trying to sue that theatre in Colorado because an asshole shot members of their family in it), and driven more by lawyers giving grieving people opportunistic legal advice, but this is not one
