so you're telling me that I have to now tolerate sigmafied edits of Ranbir Kapoor in Animal being a chauvinist abuser to his onscreen wife and killing hundreds of people for his "love" for his emotionally absent shitty father?? as if watching sigma edits of Kabir Singh and American Psycho was not enough?
#does the director not realise that this is the Tate era for young boys trying to figure out masculinity?#and that glorifying these characters is literally the worst thing he could do in this time#I'm pretty sure he realises because there's no way you make a movie justifying literally the worst traits a human being could literally#possess by saying “he doesn't think he acts on impulse that's why the movie is called animal” so he's mentally ill then? he's a psychopath#and needs help? is what you're saying#ki he doesn't have cognitive thinking ability so that must mean he needs therapy first and foremost?#but no#Vangaa went and depicted this trainwreck of a character as a “traditional man” and an “alpha male”#and the justification for this is “this movie is about violence”#bro...making a movie about violence does not mean making a movie glorifying violence it means showing how fucked up violence is and that it#has consequences#ab kuch bolo toh ppl will say “tum feminist log ko har cheez se problem hai it's just an action movie bro”#like ??????? so?????#action movie bana raha hu bolke literally kuch bhi glorify karoge random kuch bhi rage bait mysoginist dialogues doge and then#put dialogues insinuating that this is what a “real man” behaves like#bhai thik hai banao violent movie banao action movie even make an antihero film sab thik hai but when you start treating the character of#the antihero like a hero that's where the problem starts#american psycho and joker and all these films me at least there was some acknowledgement ki the characters are WRONG and MESSED UP phir bhi#random 14 year olds and mentally stunted tatefans make sigma edits of these characters#aur idhar toh no acknowledgement only as if he's encouraging young boys to see this character and make it a role model#as if ye 'misogyny violence abuse as a form of love and anger as the only emotion valid for a man to show' these are the ideals boys should#follow#it's so stupid honestly and im literally dreading seeing insta pe edits of these movie with some heroic background music as if kitna hi swag#wala kaam kar diya isne by being an absurd psychopathic freak#im so sick of this director bhai isko kabir singh bana ke akal nahi aayi ki ab phirse ye karna laga?

I watched The Suicide Squad and James Gunn worries me.
Ultraviolence is not my thing. This is ultraviolence, right? If it's not technically ultraviolence than that is worse. Why does it feel like this live action movie was more gleefully ultraviolent than the cartoon?! I grew up on Fullmetal Alchemist! That's supposed to be the advantage of animation, it lets your get away with more! But Creature Commandos is somehow the nicer and softer of the two!
That's what gets me, is the glee. The comedy bit of getting attached to the first team before realizing they were just the diversion and then the song "DIED! DIED! THEY ALL DIED!" rocking over their dying corpses. Are you okay, new architect of the DC universe?!
I mean, it's a damn good Suicide Squad movie. It certainly is anti exploitation and maybe anti-war...to some degree? It certainly has that sentiment, but I don't know. I'm having trouble seeing past all the bashed in faces.
Horror and gore is not a bad thing, it's just...weird because to me DC stories are more about ideals and moral values than Marvel, but ever since Nolan and Snyder, these movies have been militarized to a T. There have been exceptions.
But it feels wrong that it's an ultraviolent Suicide Squad movie that gives the executives at Warner Bros hope that they found their guy to reboot the DCU.
I mean, it's definitely anti-war. Gunn isn't exactly praising the idea of forcing mercenaries to fight for US interests at gunpoint to do regime change in a foreign country, killing many of its citizens in the process once it turns out that regime change is maybe more complicated than it seems at first. But it's like the Rick and Morty effect, you know? You can't have awesome, gruesome battles in an anti-war movie and expect people not to glorify the war and violence.
And I know that James Gunn is passionate about depicting bullying in many forms, and you can see that in pretty much of his superhero stories. It's just jarring to see such sympathetic emotionally vulnerable characters blazing through human lives like they're potato chips. And it makes me nervous that it's a trick, that maybe Gunn just knows the buttons to push. Things like randomly killing off Nina's dad. Or Nina for that matter.
Like I said, this level of violence just isn't my thing. And I'm exaggerating when I say I'm worried about Gunn. Writing violence and horror is no indication of someone's character, it's just strange to associate it with the home of Superman and Batman. Gunn is a great writer and his influence will probably steer the DCU in a workable direction from now on. I'm just curious to see what happens when a horror writer reboots an idealistic superhero universe like DC.
