All right guys, time for some real talk.
I really liked Suicide Squad, in spite of its obvious flaws, because it spoke to me. No, I'm not talking about Margot Robbie's ass in hot pants, although... Okay let's not go there. Its entire off-kilter tone is something I could identify with.
See, I have never been part of the "in" crowd. I played Pokemon well past when the rest of my middle-school class dropped it. I was a right-wing student on a campus in Wisconsin during the anti-Walker protests. I could go on, but point is, when Harley Quinn says "Normal is just a setting on the dryer," I was like "Fuck yeah." And when she gets zapped into a fantasy of a normal life, I was still like "Fuck yeah. I feel you, movie, because you fucking get me."
Well, David Ayer tweeted out a message to his fans. And, wow. He went for it. And I salute him for it.
Yes the label is "DCCU" instead of "DCEU" because as far as I'm concerned it's a cinematic universe rather than an extended one. An extended one would incorporate the shows instead of shafting them.
