Incoherent and sexist

Rating: 2/10 (8 August 2016)

Suicide Squad is a messy attempt to cash in on the edgy humor that made Deadpool so popular. Unlike Deadpool, however, this movie has a difficult to discern plot and 9/10 jokes flop. A big chunk of the movie's philosophy is what edgy weeaboos use to justify their pointless obsession with hating on people who they perceive as "normal". But what really bothers me about this movie is its portrayal of women. Harley Quinn is ~madly in love~ with the Joker, rather than being a victim of manipulation and abuse. June Moon has her autonomy taken away from her almost immediately, Katana hardly talks, and Amanda Walker has no redeeming qualities. One of the weirdest parts of the movie to me is when Amanda Walker walks into Harley Quinn's cell, and Harley, who apparently doesn't know her or anything about her, immediately asks if she's the devil. Harley Quinn sees a black woman who she knows nothing about, and the first thing out of her mouth is "Are you the Devil?". And in the movie, that's okay. The movie doesn't do anything to address how the Joker abuses Harley. Everyone is just okay with it. Harley's deeper character is taken for granted and she's just turned into this man- candy with excessive booty shots every two minutes.
