The Suicide Squad Film Follies

used... condoms? ffs

dear boy, why not try acting?

I dunno, the 'new design' is basically just "1) It isn't the one-piece from the animated show 2) It is still in black and red 3) Other than that, go nuts". But this doesn't even hit #2: all of the shots I've seen of Margot Robbie are in red white and blue.

i mean i think the real answer as to why they changed the design is 'tits', pure and simple

More 'skin', I'd say - image google Harley Quinn costume and see how it was drawn when not on the animated series, 'tits' is not not a factor there.

Also yeah people will cosplay as anything, but they'll cosplay more as something they can also wear out.

wonder how dude reconciles his veganism with mailing a pig's head, maybe he just tells his assistant to do it so he keeps his hands clean.

c'mon, are you telling me 'tits' is not a motivating factor in this redesign?

I'm saying, it doesn't make a lot of sense to describe that as a redesign - Harley didn't look like that in the actual comic, or in the games since or before, or in the Connor / Palmiotti comic. 'more skin' is the common factor in all those depictions (though obviously anything is more skin than the original).

i don't think i'm following you here - harley quinn had a 38-issue solo series where she wore the animated series-derived costume then (iirc) the new 52 suicide squad series gave her the tits-centric makeover

Didn't that new design originally come from some Batman video game?

Anyway, Andrew's point was that the old comic book Harley's Quinn's skintight costume, like most superheroine costumes, emphasized her tits well enough. The new costume shows more skin, but the shape of the boobs was already draw in detail in the old costume too, as the cover you posted shows.

Yeah, my bad, the 'actual comic' I meant there was New Suicide Squad, which the "tits falling out" cover is not representative of iirc (not that NSS was a bold step forward or anything). But it's one cover in one comic in a vast range of stuff which is basically "Harley's not wearing the one-piece any more" so I'm not sure it makes sense as a "this is what the redesign was about".

NB I am really really not defending basically anything here except maybe the Connor / Palmiotti, one-piece 4 lyfe.

ahh, okay - sorry, i totally got the wrong end of the stick there

tits/no tits whatever. jester hat or gtfo.

true

she's always been drawn as cheesecake tho

yeah geez protecting the honour of harley by referencing her comic book past is kinda eyebrow raise imo.

Yes, my main point in this thread is that the old design was a model of propriety.

Wtf at 'used condoms'
Thats a joke right

I fuckin hope so

so crazy, man

Dunno. Jared Leto has always seemed a little off to me.

he tries really hard

Holy crap. I just went to wikipedia to hopefully find an article titled "Jared Leto and What Is His Deal, Anyway" and I had had no idea that he was the guy everybody crushed on from My So Called Life.

this whole thing just screams 'terrible pr campaign' to piggyback off of poor ol dead heath ledger's joker

I haven't seen a whole lot of details about the gifts. Was the dildo inside of a jack-in-the-box? Were the used condoms part of a squirt flower or something?

I know he's probably a human being and just living out his hopes and desires and taking work that interests him, but I really feel like he has two modes of "making people love Jared Leto"

there's the pretty boy/rock star side with his My So Called Life and music endeavors, and then his "oh wait, I can make people think I'm cool/cerebral" side he went into after a 99/00 run of "edgy" films

I still have no idea why the hell he did that movie where he plays Mark David Chapman

is his band bad, or like, really bad?

Actors, generally speaking, are pretty stupid and highly susceptible to outside influences. That's why they're actors.

rude

I taught a 17 y/o student from Italy a few years back, very smart girl academically, who idolised Leto to an irksome level, to the extent that she'd find a way to twist almost every assignment to being about him. It got boring quickly. I checked out 30 Seconds to Mars on the back of that, they are really not good.

Odds on whether his summer media campaign will be pulling pranks on Fallon/Kimmel vs. "melting down" on same.

reminds me of a recent David Fincher quote, when his daughter told him that her friend Max said Fight Club was his favorite film:
"Don't be friends with Max"

I'll bet there are some Suicide Squad cast members who feel like destroying something beautiful just now.

Something so beautiful, it hurts to look at it.

DO U GET MY JOEKS

Theres no way they'd get away with Suicide Squad Lego, so they chucked Deadshot and Nu52 Harley into a random set with Batman and some bat pods.

Still, I dig having a Deadshot Minifig:

dig the figs

^ fig digger

does that come with a tied off rubber

no but everyone who buys one of those sets could be one of just 25 lucky winners who will find a golden ticket certifying that their batman minifig passed thru jared leto's digestive system before being put into the box

world's most expensive coffee lego

Who needs the ticket: they've already done ultra rare gold minifigs

my children will never receive facsimiles of Deadshot's guns

just the real thing, right

I'm not trying to get them killed quicker

We live in a world where police killed a teen for cosplaying; in that world, my kids get nothing that even remotely look like weapons.

an unfair but good point

ach Harley Quinn SWAT soft weapon features a series of sounds that play when swung through the air and on impact!

'your kids will be thrilled by the realistic sounds of skull fragments being driven through brain tissue!'
