So a previous criticism from the last movie was its third act since a group of dangerous criminals saves the world.
I really doubt that this made anyone clutch their pearls and blush at the thought that a group of ruffians do something good, it was more about this point:
"They fight some ancient deity capable of leveling an entire city with his dark and twisted magic within a few hours, so what the fuck is Harley gonna do against that with nothing other than a fucking baseball bat and hotpants?"
You had two powerful supernatural beings trying to take over the world on one side and some chucklefuck with a boomerang and his friends on the other. In the end, the one guy who can turn himself into some giant fire-golem thingy saved the day while the others were relegated to cheerleading.
This movie needs to avoid the same pitfall, they want to make the threat something huge and imposing, but on the other, they got Margot Robbie with a stick to fight it. If this boils down to "One of the villains is super powerful and thus the only person to go toe-to-toe with the BBEG" it does raise the question: What the fuck is the rest of this team doing there?
Also, fuck Margot Robbie. She whined about being forced to wear skimpy clothing for the Harley Quinn role to get brownie points with the feminist crowd, now she's back.
Or, they could also be going the Deadpool route-- which is a brand of comedy that you are either on board with, or not at all on board with.
The movie could turn out decent, I liked GOTG... but how sad is it that this movie, yet once more, can at best aspire to be a derivative DC version of a Marvel hit?
I loved Deadpool and its comedy, but saying the word "dick" over and over again in what I assume was the writer's idea of "Tarrantino-ing" is just unfiltered raw sewage.
