Going out of his way to help his rouges gallery turn their life around
It's ROGUE, God dammit!
The only media with the Suicide Squad that was good was that animated movie
Are you talking about the one where they're fighting over a get-out-of-hell-free card? I suppose it's Citizen Kane next to this slop, but that movie was pretty retarded for dragging in Vandal Savage, the man who's only known for being a cave man and being
immortal, into a feature where everyone is fighting over an artifact that impacts your afterlife.
It also annoyed me that Bronze Tiger, a street level martial arts crook, was able to get one over on Thawne because "he was dying from a bullet wound and couldn't use his speed force to full potential." 0.01% of a speedster's full potential is still effectively godmode against any street level rogue. Thawne was still able to do his phasing through matter bullshit, which means that anything Bronze Tiger could have potentially thrown at Thawne would have been perceived by Thawne through bullet time, I don't care how cocky Thawne gets.
But those were typical comic nerd complaints. At least a bunch of the
Suicide Squad members got killed and the cast were generally in character. I despise how SSKJA made Captain Boomerang an insufferable wigger. I thought after the Vanilla Ice movie Americans vowed "never again."
Notice how the entire game takes place en media rez. There was little lead-up to the attack and why the Justice League even became mind-controlled. This is to say that the people who boast their skills at writing didn't even seem to understand how to go about putting together a proper setting and reason for everything. The chief end of all the pieces seems to be to give four misfits the opportunity to kill three beloved heroes just...because.
These people who boast their skills as writers can't even properly build a world for their little postmodern fantasy. It's like they started with "Brainiac controls the JLA" and that was it. Now they can kill the JLA without remorse and blame it on Brainiac.
10 fucking years in development, and they didn't even get their story past its abstract.
I've noticed that is a quality of AI script-writing. Instead of coreographing a fight scene when given a prompt, AI will often say "and then they fight," and move on to the next plot beat. Each member of the JLA is taken down the same way. You can't beat them on your own, so you get a doohickey that "just works" so you can continue the bland run and gun gameplay. "And then the Suicide Squad finds an item that keeps the god-tier superhero from instantly cloud-killing them and they fight." The only one that pretends to play differently is Batman's, which is "walk from point A to point B while listening to cringe characters vomit cringe soliloquy about their cringe fears
and then engage in a bland run and gun boss battle where you just evade demon Batman's attacks and shoot him until his hp bar is depleted.
I think even the Harley Stan's know that this game killed, not just Batman, but Harley too. Harley is now going to be as hated and reviled as Abby. Good job WB.
Harley has been shit for a while now. She was wildly popular when the Arkham games were coming out and WB execs have seemed to want to capture her marketability by cramming her into fucking everything, even if she doesn't fit the product. Her anti-hero arc is super fucking annoying because Harley is not someone anyone should be looking up to. At best you would pity her for being such a gullible loser.
Better yet, why the hell did they attach this to the arkhamverse at all?
Because the Arkham games made a ton of money and are remembered fondly. It's not a big mystery. Yes, it makes absolutely no sense from a literary or even fan perspective, but you have to understand that WB is run by out-of-touch elites who have so much money they couldn't tell you the last time they opened a car door. You wanna know how you got Iron Giant? Warner Bros handed Brad Bird a wad of cash and forgot he existed for 3 years. When these people take an interest in the art they commission it immediately turns to shit because they just staple things to the project that have shown a high return on investment. That's why this is a dogshit live-service game more intent on keeping the shop page online than the 1-player campaign mode.
I am convinced this hack-fraud bitch confused Kevin Conroy being professional and polite about his work with full-throated support for the garbage she put to paper.
What is it with managerial types and being retarded? In all fields of business, they tend to cause more damage to the company long term than actually fix. Most companies would be better off getting rid of these types and investing in their employees. Unlikely as fuck, but they should have the sense not to trust any retard whose "skill" is managing projects unless they have a proven track record and a sound leadership style. It's like these faggots are so desperate to make money, they will undermine their own product to make it look like they will make money rather than do what they need to do to make something that will make money hand over fist.
The professional managerial class is more akin to a priest who happens to pray for rain just before it rains than a competent leader. Their entire skillset is taking credit for things that went right and finding believable fall guys to take the blame for when things blow up in their faces.
