The blood and brain splatter created by the bomb Amanda Waller detonated in this coward’s skull spells a lovely “The Suicide Squad” lettering across the waves. It took two movies for that to prove true in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, but Rooker’s Savant doesn’t even make it to the end of the opening credits here… well not all of him. Michael Rooker is the actor James Gunn casts when he wants to give a character an epic death scene. They just snicker as he writhes in pain, feeling how his detached arms have been shot to ribbons.

Okay, as soon as you realized the secret superpower of Nathan Fillion’s character was something as lame as “detachable” limbs, you also knew he was dead meat, right? This character is so lame that Gunn doesn’t even show the Corto Maltese military putting him out of his misery.

We guess this puts an end to any chance of him showing up in The Flash movie! T.D.K. At least he and Harley got to share a few laughs beforehand. The first really major death of the film came when Captain Boomerang, Jai Courtney’s holdover from the 2016 movie, also bit the big one from the same fiery blast that took Mongal. Unfortunately, she didn’t really think about a personal strategy as she rode one helicopter all the way down into its fiery ‘splosion. Let it not go unsaid that Mayling Ng’s Mongal made an epic introduction and exit when she took down several choppers all by herself. Alas, it was not meant to be since Javelin was blasted fast on the beach, barely having a moment to entrust Dr. Even his accent was absurdly disarming, as Harley quickly noticed. All that time in prison and Blackguard never learned what happens to snitches… Javelinįlula Borg’s Javelin cut an amusing figure, as if he wandered in from some low-rent 1970s superhero television series. Instead it gets him obliterated by a hail of bullets. He thinks this will get him in good with the new government. With the exception of a fakeout (more on that in a bit), the mildly divisive SNL alumni goes out in gruesome fashion when he reveals on a Corto Maltese beachhead that he somehow communicated with the local military that a U.S. You can’t help but wonder if Gunn intentionally cast Pete Davidson as the first Squad member to get put down. So if you had trouble keeping up with who died, and in what gnarly and grotesque fashion, we’re here to offer a handy dandy list of which members of the Suicide Squad walked away from Corto Maltese, and which were carried away in bags. Major characters from the first film, and a slew of new ones Gunn personally introduced, were pushing up daisies before the movie’s opening title card. While we may remain skeptical if Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn and a few others were really that expendable to Warner Bros., Gunn’s finished film speaks to just how much freedom he was allotted in slaughtering potentially valuable DC IP. How times have changed.įor the entire rollout of his pseudo-sequel/reboot, writer-director James Gunn has insisted he had carte blanche to kill off any character in his The Suicide Squad roster.

We have a spoiler free review here.įive years ago, Will Smith uttered the instantly meme-able line, “So that’s it, huh, we’re the patsies, we’re some kind of Suicide Squad.” Yet by the end of that 2016 film, barely anyone in that squad was put six feet under.
