Pipeline #1004 – 7 Lessons the Next Suicide Squad Movie Should Learn From Comics
Yes, that’s a long headline title.
I started to write a movie review and relate it back to what the comics did better. But that turned into a rant against the movie. To be fair, the movie is pretty awful on every conceivable level. I just don’t want to pile on.
I do. It would be so easy. The movie provides so much ammunition. It’s a great example of everything that could go wrong actually going wrong. It’s a complete Frankenstein of badness.
The movie is flat out awful, though.
Offering Suggestions
Instead, I wrote about seven things the comic book series did right that I hope they use in the next movie, should one get green lighted.
Yes, it’s a listicle, I suppose. But I support all my suggestions.
It’s live on ComicBook.com now.
When you say “Suicide movie” we assume you mean “Suicide Squad movie”, right ? Or is there a full US subgenre of movies about suicide ? I wonder.
It always amazes me how typos and mistakes I make on this site sometimes take YEARS to be found. It’s also slightly concerning that the link to the original article is dead. Buy, hey, if ComicBook.com is taking down my articles, maybe that means I can start posting them here… All my contacts there are gone now, but I doubt their lawyers would ever notice…. No excuse me while I go fix that headline so it makes sense. Yes, it was the “Suicide Squad” movie I was talking about back then. Good catch!
Update: All the columns are still there, but all the URLs have changed. I wonder if I care enough to go back into the archives and do all the updating…
you’re welcome.
Rereading old articles of yours is always a delight, sometimes the perspective has skewed a little making them extra funny, sometimes you’re still spot on.
And there are so many that I still discover some I have not read.
so sure, one vote from me to upload all your previous contributions, I’m sure they would not mind at CBR.
