Can someone explain the used condone thing?

It was a press junket thing to make Leto's Method Acting seem Realistic. The tasteless part imo is the way they use Ledger's death as part of the Joker's mystique, not the fake stunts.

During promotions for the release of suicide squad, Jared Leto apparently sent his co-stars stuff like used condoms, anal beads, rats, etc. To show how into method acting the joker he was. But he has denied that he sent used condoms and that it was a joke.

During Skwad press tours rumors came out that Leto was sending the cast poo poo like the used condoms and dead rats to be method. Apparently it was super overblown.

Apparently the dude's still a piece of poo poo regardless of that, but I'll admit he had a good scene. His laugh was pretty much perfect.

I know he send someone a box of ammo in the mail...and assuming he just stuck it in the regular mail, he committed a federal felony.

The Thanos we got was alright, honestly pretty high on the marvel movie villains tier list (which is a very low bar, even speaking as someone who likes Marvel movies), but "loves death, as in the actual manifestation of death, all his genocide attempts are galactic dictator mixtapes for Death" is such a great concept and it was supremely disappointing to not see it realized on film.

They even trailed it with the 'to court death' line in the first sight of him, but then chickened out in favour of incoherent malthus.

WW knows how to make tea, the joke was Alfred being completely doting and particular about how tea should be made and put off at not being the person making it, like if you are making dinner and your mother comes in the kitchen asking if you need help.

David Ayer has confirmed that the condoms were opened (as in, removed from their packaging) but not "used" (ugh). Can we please stop talking about this now?

feel like this whole scene is the worst part of both cuts, the more I think about it. it's cool Wonder Woman gets to do some action things but just have her stop a violent art heist or some poo poo instead of "some guys want to suicide bomb a group of kids but also they put the bomb on a timer for some reason"

I actually enjoyed this for the most part until the last 20 minutes, which do nothing but detract from the film. We get the return of Eisenberg's Luthor and Leto's Joker, both of which remain utter embarrassments, a 5+ minute dream sequence, and the second of two pointless Martian Manhunter cameos.

I liked it overall, which is miraculous given that I loathed Batman v Superman. But those last 20 minutes are just a complete waste that ended the film on a hugely sour note for me.

Gal Gadot heroically stopping suicide bombing terrorists also rubs me weird. At least they're white, white collar nihilist-terrorists.

stuff like the Anti-Life Equation is so weird and cool conceptually and it's great seeing a movie where that isn't tossed aside for being "too comic booky" like Thanos wanting to marry Death.
The concept of the Anti-Life Equation is so cool:

--The idea that the opposite of life is not death but the loss of freewill
--When you think about what that means for Professional Nazi Hater Jack Kirby to make the ultimate expression of evil the notion of someone trying to eliminate all thoughts that are not their own, it's honestly a pretty eloquent summary of what evil is

every discord i'm in that did a group watch with subtitles on now has someone named "ancient lamentation music," it's so bad

otherwise the score is pretty solid but any time wonder woman popped on screen in a fight scene it was like bracing for impact as the wailing began once again

Would BvS be considered the minimum required viewing for this movie to work?

I think it'll be fine to go in unprepared. The idiosyncratic, heterodox interpretations of Batman and Superman from the previous films are pretty much resolved within them, so it's a noticeably more traditional group of Superfriends in this one.
