Even then that movie was not Oscar worthy. It was shit for all it's own reasons and still somehow comes out better than the new film.
Not that this hasn't happened before given how near-universally panned Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer was and still ended up the better movie over the Fant4stic reboot that happened after.
Gee, couldn't also be the fact that you put it on streaming day and date and anyone who is savvy enough would pirate that shit....couldn't possibly be that? Or even the legit normies would just watch it on streaming platforms giving them no reason to go out and see it.
Yeah. The studios aren't getting that the streaming stuff is going to kill them in the long run with the box office shit because it makes pirating easier. Also people are just going to have everyone come over their house to watch the movie instead.
I saw this happen some years back with The Rise of Skywalker in a group chat. One guy enthusiastically asked who wanted to go and see it with all the replies mocking him for suggesting it in the first place.
It's one of those recent corp cookie-cutters filled with pompous celebs [Margot Robbie in general regarding her work surrounding 'so quirky psychopath Harley Quinn, and Cena's pro-China/anti-Taiwan groveling] that piles on senseless action and tries to grab fans' attention with nostalgia more than anything by including topical/popular/"popular" characters forced into a shit plot.
Even the 2016 movie was almost 'Assault on Arkham' and really speaking frankly they really should have just made a live-action Assault on Arkham as the only things missing from the animated movie and the live-action impersonation were The Riddler and some other randoms nobody cares about [minus possibly Tarantula who would get Spider-Man flak]. Both ended up including Batman and Joker so those casting cheques were already paid. The completely nonsense story with Enchantress and the utterly unneeded romance plotline with Flagg would have been avoided. Waller would have been just a bit more competent although still thoroughly lawful-evil [not that she's stayed that in recent comics]
Instead just like how Justice League should have been a live action Justice League: War [literally the same overall plot involving finding Mother boxes and Darkseid coming to Earth] every live action DC movie ends up being a pale imitation of a previously created animated works and also remains far worse in terms of quality compared to Marvel. Although Marvel itself does seem to now be at the post peak stage where it's sabotaging it's own brand in favor of more obvious woke agendas.
DC has such great animated properties under their belt, I still don't understand how they fail to live up to them every single time.
I mean, I know that it's mostly the ego's involved in the director and writer wanting to "do their own thing" with it, but just once they couldn't say: "take this extremely popular animated film we have and make it with people and CGI." Just once?
For the number of times they might be "trying their own thing" only for it to end up as almost a copy of an existing piece, just objectively worse, there must be next to no creative inspiration left there.
On top of the aforementioned Assault on Arkham and Justice League War the Star Wars sequels first movie is practically a reboot of A New Hope. Just with little in the way of character development/consistency/interest, zero potential for suspense, and overall very little world building for what was meant to be a new era.
More on topic there are also still a lot of other DC Comics animated features that would work as stand alone ish ensemble movies like the Avengers movies were. Crisis on Two Earths not only had an incredible opening theme track that really should have ended up as the live action JL track, but a viable plot that opens up the multiverse by bringing in the Crime Syndicate from Earth 3. Even the doppelgangers are different enough in looks it wouldn't need something like Cavil being greenscreened to fight himself because Ultraman doesn't look identical to Superman.
But no, DC continue to shit the bed when it comes to movies and then can their successes despite vocal fans asking for more [Snyderverse].
Those deaths can't matter. Because if they did matter, then leftist retards wouldn't be able to pretend this scamdemic is about saving lives and not rapid unilateral implementation of the leftist political agenda.
This. They hate the fact that they have to backtrack just to make up for lost money, and if their backtrack movie flops, then they'll just double down on the original narrative.
For the fanboys of this movie, there's little more entertaining than telling them it has nothing on the Oscar winning movie Suicide Squad (2016).
Even then that movie was not Oscar worthy. It was shit for all it's own reasons and still somehow comes out better than the new film.

Did it really win that?
[EDIT] Holy shit it really did for makeup and hairstyling: https://archive.ph/EqZeF#selection-3609.0-3625.63
Yup. It's my favourite movie fun fact that Suicide Squad (2016) won more Oscars than the Shawshank Redemption
Well, to be fair, it did star a white man who was innocent and a black man who was guilty...
Suicide Squad was this generations Mr Dumbass Goes to Washington.
The fans who didnt see it are
A: Misogynistic
B: Perpetuating Rape Culture
C: Anti-Maskers
or
D: The Producte of a Russian Troll campaign to undermine the career of the chick who plays harley quin who no one can remember the name of

“Wanna come over and watch the new Suicide Squad?”
“What? No!”

And rightly so.
"How about coming over and touching my new limited edition biden funcopops?"
Could... but won't.

Maybe thats because the people being chosen to direct are less literate than the people who are hired to animate all the other films.

It's because they gave Zack Snyder creative control.
That’s funny because it’s true!
CLOWN WORLD HONKITY HONK!

In SS3 they are going to go after all the evil anti maskers. And harley quinns now black. Take THAT kkk'ers/
Fed bucks will cover the loss.
And streaming numbers to hide the low physical turnout, just like they did with Black Widow.
This. They hate the fact that they have to backtrack just to make up for lost money, and if their backtrack movie flops, then they'll just double down on the original narrative.
I just want to take this opportunity to remind everybody that James Gunn is a pedo.
I'm glad I helped this movie lose money.
Think of it like a remake of the original.
Surprising no one. Ironic they blame the people that do not believe in the political virus and would have gladly gone out anyway.
Unvaccinated people could not have done this
Shitty marketing and trying to force a franchise did this
If a Hollywood movie loses money, they still make bank. It's all a scheme. It's the reason for the term "Hollywood accounting".
Movie wasn't as shit as first but it was still pretty shitty.
It isn't my fault, but if they're going to give me the credit I'll happily go along with it.
I didnt go because I am busy in august. They should have released it in may, june, or july if they wanted summer blockbuster numbers.
Ya already tanked Harley with Birds of Prey. It was foolish to think this would work after that flop.
what about white people? it has to be their fault too!
