If we're getting something that feels like Guardians of the Galaxy mixed with Birds of Prey mixed with The Dirty Dozen, I'll be damned happy.

So for some reason I get the feeling that... {Spoiler}The Suicide Squad we see with Captain Boomerang, Savant, etc. are part of are either all killed off or they become mind slaves for Starro because we see very little footage of them in this trailer that doesn’t look like it is all part of their “squading up” scene as it were, and that makes Amanda more or less go, “Ok...who the hell else do we have to us?” given the absolutely random assortment of characters we have for the main Squad in this film.

The trailer makes this movie look really fun. But then again the trailer for the first movie made it look fun too. It lied. So you'll forgive me if I have unresolved trust issues about this. Gunn himself was involved with the cutting of the trailer, so that alone gives me more confidence in it than the first movie.

Yeah, like, Gunn seems to have been given almost full licence to do what he wants on this so this isn't Ayer coming off (the slightly mediocre) Fury to fill a spot and then have his film cut to bits.

I’m one of the weirdos that liked the first one, and this looks like a blast.
Certainly a brighter color palette, which is nice.

So for some reason I get the feeling that... {Spoiler}{Spoiler}The Suicide Squad we see with Captain Boomerang, Savant, etc. are part of are either all killed off or they become mind slaves for Starro because we see very little footage of them in this trailer that doesn’t look like it is all part of their “squading up” scene as it were, and that makes Amanda more or less go, “Ok...who the hell else do we have to us?” given the absolutely random assortment of characters we have for the main Squad in this film. This is not far off from what I they should do with the movie - {Spoiler}Basically, open up with a team consisting of Flagg, Harley, Boomer, somebody in a Deadshot costume, and a couple of third-stringers on a mission when everything goes wrong. When the dust settles the third stringers are dead, Flagg is dead, Deadshot is missing and presumed dead and Harley has escaped (they ain't gonna kill off Harley and they shouldn't even try to tease us that they might). Boomer's the only one who not only survives but Waller manages to recover.
Suddenly a new problem pops up and Waller needs to put together a new team quickly. The bulk of the team she can easily populate with randos for cannon fodder, but where is she gonna find someone who can keep them in line like Flagg? She stumbles across Peacemaker, and after checking his record thinks he's perfect. Then the mission starts and everybody quickly finds out that Peacemaker is actually kinda unhinged himself, probably moreso then most of the actual villains, and Bloodsport is forced to step up as de facto leader.

also neat Detail I missed... John Ostrander, the creator of the Squad is the one doing the brain bombs

Finally saw the trailer, yeah, the way Cena said the "beach of penises" line with such sincerity was hilarious.
"Why would there be a beach full of penises?" "You never know what these evildoers would do!"

"You never know what these evildoers would do!" People say John has a lot of range but I’m not so sure. And I mean that in a complementary manner. He’s a ham. He’s a very genuine, charismatic, ham. That’s when he’s shined the most like in Trainwreck and Cock Blockers. I thought he was serviceable in everything else but when we’re allowed to laugh at him is when he tends to come off the best. So F9 will be very interesting.

You know, I do have to wonder...if Peacemaker makes it through this movie, with the recent announcement that a Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle movie is being worked on, could he cross over into that? I mean, pre New 52, he was part of Jaime's series for quite a while.

Yes it is.

Love me some Harley and Amanda. Add in Idris Elba and I'm definitely all in on this.

The fact it’s filming right now and things seem tight lipped on the plot...could go either way, really.

DC not doing a nice fat omnibus of the Ostrander run for this is dumb as f***.
I compiled a bind to 3 books, but given what DC can do and them not shirking from 1600 page omnis, they could do two really excellent volumes to collect this run
