A bit of a frustrating discussion with this Suicide Squad podcast because Gunn is quite wishy-washy with some aspects, like wanting Margot Robbie as Harley back, but not sure if The Joker exists and insistent on Boomerang being dead.
>>156110086>is anything in suicide squad canon?>maybewhat was the fucking point.
>>156110103quick cash grab for retards
>>156110086Can't wait for Captain Boomerang Sr.
>>156110086Just say everything is canon except for anything that’s obviously a Snyderverse reference. The Joker exists but he’s not the Leto Joker and Deadshot did have a run-in with Superman early in his career.
>>156110134Bloodsport*
>>156110086>not sure if The Joker exists>not sure if one of, if not the most popular villain in the entirety of DC exists
>>156110134>>156110214It'd be really funny if this was the DCU Joker.
>>156110228Gunn and Phillips have beef. Won’t happen.
lol
>>156110086>Two captain boomerang movies came out before a flash movieWhat are we even doing at this poiny?
>>156110086Oh don't worry. He's Boomerang. He'll come back.
>>156110103Are you retarded?
>>156110134The fact that the DCU isn’t a completely clean slate is asinine
>>156110086>like wanting Margot Robbie as Harley back,lmao no he doesn't, he clearly just wants her and everyone else to forget she's even on the table and move on.
>>156110086He was never gonna decanonize his movie. Sucks that Boomer's dead but he's already caved on the podcast and said characters can easily come back as variants or clones, or in media set earlier in the timeline, it's clear he very much regrets killing some characters off in The Suicide Squad but wants to commit to it so death doesn't become completely meaningless ala BVS into JL. So just expect an alternate universe Boomerang to pop over thanks to a future season of Peacemaker or something, like how Peacemaker season 2 still used Rick Flag Jr
>>156110214Bad wording. Obviously the guy who becomes Joker exists, Gunn is just unsure if he's a character whose origin has already happened, or one that will be depicted onscreen.Really, all this talking he does about who is or isn't active right now is only hurting him. Just don't answer these kinds of questions. Nobody was asking Kevin Feige if the Great Lakes Avengers or Machine Man were knocking about some place or not, and if those questions were asked, he was smart enough to ignore them.
>>156110103The first movie made 700+ dollars and WB wanted to capitalize off it.
>>156111372> Bad wording Well I am glad, Gunn went out of his way to make a podcast about this just to word things badly and further confuse people. What was the point of this podcast if he didn't have a solid clear explanation. The only people watching a podcast about a five year old movies are people already interested, so why not just have an actually continuity outline or rule set prepared. Because Gunn doesn't know what the fuck he is doing.
>>156110086A reminder that James Gunn is pro-Palestine and has quoted Hasan Piker recently, which also means he is a fan of Hasan.Based Gunn
>>156111990I’m not surprised given the incel gooners in Creature Commandos, Not-inyahu going kersplat in Superman and him being a staunch athiest.
>>156111990Meanwhile he keeps giving Tom King projects
>>156112133King's a glowie. They've been doing everything they can to destabilize the country for decades. Denigrating our culture is just one more pie to put their finger in.
>>156110086At some point the superman curse evolved and damned all DC movies to be an endless cavalcade of incompetence.
>>156110086James 'irrelevant time wasting answer' Gunn
>>156110086so was gunn just highwhat was the point of this fucking thing
>>156110926But it is accurate to most comic reboots, like all the pre-Crisis stories that “still happened” post-Crisis.
>>156112169You’re that one poster who spergs in nearly every James Gunn thread. You’re not good at masking, you have certain tells.
>>156112976I'm actually not. I suppose you won't believe me, but this is my first post on /co/ regarding that subject.It's just a good rule of thumb to not trust the supposed intentions of anyone with a CIA background. There's no such thing as "former" CIA.
>>156113013>There's no such thing as "former" CIA.Already knew that, anon.
So, uh,m what happened?
>>156110086James Gunn is a fucking retard who doesn't understand comics.
>>156110086Sucks
When MoT inevitably flops and makes even less than Superman (2025), Gunn is done, isn't he?
>reboot universe >half the universe is dead or old >also its not actually a reboot and idk what is or isn't canon Great work Gunn.
>>156112964That's not a good thing.
>>156110228The shitty thing is, he probably could do a really good, legit Joker if he wanted to, but he chose to be that torture-porn bullshit version for artsy reasons.
>>156115138>for artsy reasons.it's more like the boys where it's unwatchably bad on purpose to epically own the twitter chuds
>>156110086I've actually been enjoying these new DCU movies but Gunn being so "interactive" with his fans kills my interest. There's no reason things should be so convoluted, just make the movies and be vague with your answers or avoid/jump around them all together like Kevin Feige does when someone wants more details. I don't give a shit if Clayface is set is set in what universe or anything, I just thought it was a neat movie and if that same Clayface appears in further movies, then cool! If Harley comes back and is still Margot, neat! If she's recast, let's see if see actress can do better!The whole canon confusion can be avoided by keeping it out of an audiences minds and just giving little hints in the movies/series.
Did Zack Snyder ever talk about continuity like this? Genuine question. I don't remember.
>>156115611No
>>156110086This guy is a mega retard.
Why would you do your movies like this? This isn't casual-friendly.
I'd rather Margot star in a Crocodile Dundee-type movie rather than more capeshit.
Marvel Studios never bothered with this bullshit.They want to change an actor that previously played a character? They just do it, like with Don Cheedle, and then in the movie itself they throw a quip about the guy looking different and that's it.
>>156116709It's like the DCU's made for autists.
>>156111450>The first movie made 700+ dollarsI make that much in a week as a wagie though
>>156116758>>156111450The first movie wasn't directed by Gunn, and apparently isn't canon, might i add.
>>156112964So what if it’s coming accurate? Just because it’s in the comics doesn’t make it an inherently good idea. If the next Spider-Man movie adapted One More Day or the next Batman movie adapted All Star Batman and Robin, would those movies being shit be redeemed by going >ngl bro it do be comic accurate doe
>>156110086It is weird because he also said the Blue Beetle movie is non-canon but the character from the movie is.Very inconsistent on what Gunn chooses what is and isn’t canon.
>>156110878Ask that to James Gunn.
>>156115611There was no confusion because the Snyderverse didn't build off the Nolan movies, the Reeve Superman films (of which Returns is canon to) or Green Lantern 2011. It was a clean slate.
>>156110265It'd be easy to bring him back if they wanted.
>>156110086They're still trying to make DCU a thing?
