>Lol so edgy criminals who have to do what we say cause they got bombs inside them cuz we're the big bad evil shady government lmao!

Feels like the worst kind of 90's dick cheese in comics, yet somehow we're getting a movie that takes this stupid concept seriously.

War stories Suicide Squad is a better concept.

Villain Suicide Squad is just a revolving door for criminals.

I trust the longer term comics might be better, but the adaptions in previous animated material seemed stupid.
More than half of the time:
>we have a system to force the villains to cooperate!
>the villains end up removing the bombs or whatever and Waller essentially lets the villains back on the streets

Not far from the truth mate.

FFL (French foreign legion) did a similar thing not even 80 years ago with prisoners to be executed if they misbehaved/fled. It's an ancient concept that dates back to 14,00bc. Prisoner soldiers are still used today in afganistan by our enemies.

what is with everyones autistic hate of "edge" on this board?
>>
>>81159274
I don't know, but if anything we could use more edge in these stupid quip filled movies that don't take themselves seriously at all. It's hard to give a shit when everything's a joke. Though Suicide Squad looks like the worst of both worlds by simultaneously being too edgy AND not taking itself seriously.
>>
>>81159274
Its a typical internet thing.
when something is called edgy (not the internet version the actual term) it typically means 'on the edge' or differing from the norm in some typically severe method. Which is why when a character normally portrayed as kind of cartoonish is made more realistic and 'gritty' people woudl say 'tim burton gave us an edgier batman'.
Teenagers feel the need and desire to be edgy, to be different than the norm, to set themself apart. its a typcial and common kind of thing.
So basically what you have here are a bunch of early twenty somethings who are so fucking desperate to not look like the teenagers they just were and appear to be mature in both their opinion on things and in their personality they cannot stand things being like they were as teenagers.
So edgy is only used for its negative connotation even though it isn't inherently negative. It is one of the many ways the internet and 4chan are absolutely destroying language.
For example...your use of the word 'autistic'.
>>
>>81158176
Do billionaires actually dress up and fight crime under secret identities?

Levels of plausibility. The only reason this idea is plausible within their universe is because the criminals are actually pretty super enough to make it worth it.
>>
>>81159274
>>81159303
How about people stop using the word edgy when something dark happens in a comic or when a character kills someone or refer to anything that isn't sunshine and lollipops.

>>81159368

>>
>>81158881
SIR, ONE MOMENT PLEASE!
>>
>>81159368
I also see it as a bit of social infantilism directed at anything that could be remotely controversial or upsetting. Hence why you see even gratuitous violence readily accepted by many people as long as it's toward faceless antagonists. Kill a bunch of Stormtroopers with a blaster or X-Wing? Totally fine. Blow up millions of them in their star base? No problem, they're clearly evil and it's not like we see anyone under those masks. Same with HYDRA soldiers, Nazis, etc. Batman crippling a dude trying to rape a girl? Woah... that's dark man...

lots of concepts can seem edgy and/or stupid, what sets it apart is execution. For instance, the setting for Avatar with elemental magic and an evil empire setting would seem super generic on paper, but the superb art direction, the vivid details they put in the setting, the characters, and going out of their way to show that the Fire Nation and its people aren't all bad, are what made it incredible.
