Is there a betting pool on who dies in Suicide Squad yet? Just from the trailers, so far I've got these:

Sean Gunn weasel guy
Michael Rooker
Captain Boomerang (bummer)
Nathan Fillion
Pete Davidson (good)
Mongal
Javelin

With strong "maybe" vibes for Rick Flagg and King Shark, and for the polka dot guy too just on general principle.

Everyone not heavily featured with the group in the newest trailer imo. Plus one or two of the characters featured heavily in the trailer.

Adam is only a villain half of the time. He's basically Namur of DC.

Captain Boomerang is one of two good roles Jai Courtney has ever played (his role in Spartacus was fine), so I'd be sorry to see him go just because.

Also hilarious that Ashur is the TV Boomerang.

Boomerang is his best role, but I thought he did good work as the henchman in Jack Reacher and in an Australian film called Felony.

But yeah, Boomerang is for sure dying.

Yeah, I'm a bit hesitant about the politics myself. Recasting Idris Elba as Deadshot, then changing the character to a different Male Black Lead with a near-identical backstory, is not the most promising sign. Also: the movie is about a CIA death squad invading evil not-Bolivia to hunt WMDs. Which is kinda sus. But there's also the potential to be subversive with that kind of material, and I like everyone in it, even if the writing is already looking shaky, so I'll give it a shot.

It's a CIA death squad made up of psychopathic murderers and man-eating sharks, not exactly sure that's projecting a pro CIA angle

Yeah, but they're also lovable goofballs, and the trailer gives the vibe that they (and Waller) are being positioned as the Necessary Evil to fight the greater threat of not-Fidel Castro's pet C'thulhu WMD in a vague banana republic. As far as the premise goes, I don't think it's unreasonable to be a bit cynical going in.

I fully expect Polka-Dot Man to survive the entire way through the movie, learn to love life again and want to keep on living, only to die at that very moment to some random accidental bullshit.

The first one really foregrounds how they're slave soldiers and had Waller as the true villian with enchantress just an extension of her fantasy of power.

This one could easily retain that angle. But this is also sort of a remake of the previous skwad, isn't it? If WB brought in Gunn to just do Guardians of the Galaxy but with different names, well I could see them going for "this is good actually" angle. I enjoy the GotGs but their politics are def problematic

He hasn’t really done anything wrong but people hate him because he’s young and dumb as a brick. He’s covered in tattoos (which is not inherently bad but people judge for that,) he proposed to Ariana Grande on their first date, he made fun of an actual fuckin fascist (Dan Crenshaw) on SNL and then felt the need to bring him on the show to personally apologize to him because he had military service.

I don’t really have a problem with him as an actor.

Davidson also had a whole routine about how cancel culture is bad and college students are too sensitive for real comedy. This included him defending R. Kelly and saying people only turned on Harvey Weinstein because he was fat.

Oh, he's that guy. I remembered that story. Ironically, SNL actors apologising to fascists for making jokes about them is, in it's own way, funnier than anything else SNL has done in the last decade or so. Like, not haha funny, more 'laugh crying' kind of funny.

As far as the Crenshaw thing goes, as I understand it, it wasn't that he made of the guy, it was that he made fun of the eye patch. That covered the eye. That Crenshaw lost in his military service. So it's not so much that Davidson kowtowwed to a fascist. It's that he wanted to walk back and make right coming off his an Ablest rear end in a top hat.

Pretty sure mocking a guy who lost his eye doing something stupid while doing something evil isn't ableist, esp[ecially when it's a guy who's parlayed that stupidity in the middle of evil into a career doing way more evil. The same way making fun of kamala harris for being awful isn't inherently misogynist.
