Welcome back everyone this is going to be my new suicide squad trailer video even though it's april
fool's day they dropped a brand new trailer with a whole bunch of different footage a whole bunch
of new easter eggs and more of the team so if you're new to the channel be sure to subscribe
to get all the videos the other real big news also not an april fool's day joke is that dc
cancelled a couple of the movies that were in development so i'll explain that at the end of the
video too because the movies that they canceled weren't really related to suicide squad stuff
there weren't going to be big crossovers with this franchise the funny thing too is when james gunn
posted this he actually said that i always hate it when they post a green band version of the trailer
as the exact same trailer so that's why he asked them to put all different footage in this and he
did make a bit of an april fool's day joke he said you know even though it is april fool's day the
only joke are these characters just sort of hyping up the idea that the reason why he's using such
obscure characters such weird characters for this team is because it goes with the entire idea that
they're meant to be the most expendable people in the dc universe that amanda waller could find
like no one will care if you die no one will come to your funeral so if you do it's no big deal i'll
just find other more obscure villains put them on this team to deal with this problem that we
can't get the real heroes to deal with i do love the idea that they're using starro for the main
villain and he was the classic original justice league team-up villain but the justice league in
the dc eu for some reason is too busy to come deal with starro this time the scene that they
open on with them opening the back of the plane getting ready to jump out is very reminiscent of
the same scene of the justice league characters getting ready to jump out of the back of batman's
carrier the big final fight in the justice league snyder cut just to highlight the fact that we're
going from the a-list superheroes in the dc universe to the d e and f list superheroes
like not even obscure enough to be c-list i do love harley quinn's jacket though it says live
fast die clown which is another joker reference there's another joker reference in peter capaldi's
voiceover dialogue where if you had a hard time understanding him through his accent most british
people are like what are you talking about i can totally understand what he's saying they didn't
have captions on the official version of the trailer yet so what he's saying is super villains
sad souls and costumes wanting you to think they're all dark and deep what's it like living
your life is a punchline you have to imagine he's talking to them in a different scene they're just
mixing and matching this voiceover dialogue with this separate footage but the funny thing about
him referring to the characters as punch lines themselves is that they just introduced a new
character in dc comics called punchline and she's joker's new assistant that replaced harley quinn
they have like their own rivalry between them harley quinn versus punchline but i thought it was
a nice coincidence the way they mixed and matched this footage of him joking about them being punch
lines with harley quinn in her relationship with the joker then he says all it would take would
be one act of rebellion to restore all of your dignity so i'm guessing he's trying to taunt
the suicide squad members into rebelling against amanda waller which inadvertently even if they're
not really thinking about it would get them killed because of the bombs and planted in their heads
and they literally juxtaposed that dialogue right after this with amanda waller's speech
basically giving them the rules of the suicide squad you complete the mission
you get 10 years knocked off your sentence at bell rev prison and if you go rogue i detonate
the bomb in your skull like she even opens up the briefcase with all the buttons that she can click
some of this footage is from the last trailer so i'll try to focus mostly on the brand new scenes
but a lot of the repeated footage is of them going up against starro there's some brand new
footage of this beach assault it seems like it's going to be one of the biggest action scenes of
the movie but hard to tell when it happens during the actual film there's a bunch of new king shark
footage this scene of him just looking inside this fish tank and all these aquatic creatures
these also seem like alien creatures as well like this doesn't seem like anything you would find on
planet earth and there are a lot of cosmic things that are happening during the movie
because we have mon gal who's a cosmic character from the superman comics and obviously starro is
an intergalactic villain we get some brand new footage introducing some of the more obscure
members of the team like this is ratcatcher 2. inside her cell there's a picture of her with
what seems like her father who was probably the original version of ratcatcher within the dc eu
but they use these scenes to sort of show you how she uses her powers to command all these rats
they also use her character to react to a lot of the crazier members of the team like john cena's
peacemaker character or polka dot man we get a slightly longer version of the john ostrander
cameo scene if you're not familiar with him he is the original creator of the suicide squad in
the comics so they gave him a stan lee style cameo during the film he's the person or the
doctor who's implanting all the bombs in their heads james gunn said he did that on purpose
like who better to do this than the creator of the suicide squad love the scene of them going
to pick up king shark in his cell and he's trying to read the book but he's reading it upside down
he's trying so hard he's like a giant puppy dog or something like that the way they're using him
is actually very similar to the animated version of king shark on that harley quinn tv show if you
have been watching the animated show it's more of an r-rated comedic spin on the batman comic book
characters so it seems like they're using him the same way in this movie as they used him on
that series just a big dumb animal just trying to do his best this briefcase scene is also a clever
way of giving you another look at the roster just identifying the characters just because they are
so obscure people like wait a minute now who are these people again i have a feeling they're
going to be a lot of promos like this over the next couple of months where they keep repeating
the characters names on screen when they appear in the trailers just to remind you who they are
most of you will probably notice though there's a lot of characters from the first suicide squad
film the funny thing is if you actually look at the official description and the breakdowns of
the movie that the studio is given the way they talk about it this is the second version of the
suicide squad and the version from the first movie is meant to be the very first version ever in the
dc universe like amanda waller's first attempt at putting a suicide squad together even though
the suicide squad team in the comics goes back to the 1980s so the way they described this version
of the team is that it was a reformed version of the suicide squad that amanda waller puts together
with new members adding to the ranks of people who didn't get killed off or get released from
prison or escape to go down and raid a nazi base in corto maltese the trailers haven't conveyed too
much of what the actual story is in corto maltese just that they go there and they also have to deal
with starro and this other foreign dictator who seems like he's in control of the area
or maybe he's just a proxy for starro because the way they reveal star on the trailer like he just
bursts up from that nazi base it seems like maybe he'd been hiding there for years so it'll be funny
to see the way they weave starro like this giant version of starro into the history of the dceu as
far as we know it and all the films that we've seen so far like earlier in the timeline was
starro hiding out here manipulating people while the events of wonder woman 1984 were playing out
during the actual 1980s in what is the connection between starro and the nazis if this is a former
nazi base we get more captain boomerang scenes i wasn't really a huge fan of what they did with
the character in the first suicide squad film so it sounds like they're having a little bit
more fun with him this time around they also confirm by nathan philly in theory he's called
tdk but that's not a name from the comics but it sounds like it might stand for the detachable kid
because you literally see him detach his arms from his body they give you more footage with the
weasel character he's being played by sean gunn as an emotion capture role so it's sort of them doing
the same thing they do with him in rocket in the marvel universe the guardians of the galaxy films
like avengers infinity war avengers end game most of you know sean gunn plays craglin he's actually
going to come back during thor 4 love and thunder we've actually seen pictures of him on set he's
got yondu's finn now after the events of avengers end game and guardians of the galaxy vol 2. but
while they're filming scenes with rocket he also does the motion capture for rocket because bradley
cooper does the voice but he just comes in later after they filmed the footage to do the voice
over dialogue the funny thing that james gunn said about his character too because people were asking
him on twitter why is king shark wearing pants and he's a shark but weasel isn't wearing any clothes
and james gunn response was have you ever tried to put clothes on your cat before i'm
also curious to see how they explained the mon gal character and her presence here like why is
she being held captive in a prison is it because her father mongol from the superman comics doesn't
care about her who captured her did superman capture her because she is a superman villain
they show you a little bit of her abilities during the trailer like she has enhanced
strength and durability like she jumps up on that helicopter and takes it down just by herself
in the way they're pitching this too like this is meant to be the full roster for task force x
the suicide squad notice that you don't see peter capaldi's thinker here so it seems like at least
part of their mission has something to do with his character and then it spirals up into the big
starro plot i have a feeling that it starts out as one thing and then turns into the star oh plot
like the mission that amanda walla recruits them for is not starro it's something else happening
in corto maltese and then it turns into the big starro plot and if you notice the thinker poster
for peter capaldi's character they released has starros all over it so it's just implying that
he has some connection to the starro character that they haven't revealed in these trailers yet
like either he's trying to double cross them and he's working with starro or they're just
trying to use him to help counteract the effects of staro's psychic abilities so that they don't
all get mind controlled a lot of this footage of them running around in plain clothes like their
street clothes reminds me of pulp fiction too like they all have their full-blown comic book costumes
that you see them in most of the trailer but then in some of this footage they're walking around in
their street clothes but you see all this footage of them parting together one night maybe there's
some attack that happens while they're out of costume in their playing clothes so they have
to roll in and they don't have time to put their costumes back on they show you a little how polka
dot man's powers work all the polka dots all over him can be turned into other things so some of
them can be turned into bombs some of them can be turned into projectiles so this was happening
when he's throwing them at these people here the different colors turn into different weapons and
i love the way john cena's character goes out with his dialogue too like i love peace so much i don't
care how many people i have to kill to get it but if you spotted any other new easter eggs in the
trailer footage here that i didn't mention during the video just write them below in the comments
most of the other stuff i already covered in my last big trailer video so i'll link that at the
end of this because it's all different footage but just to explain the big announcement today about
the dc movies that warner brothers just cancelled it's actually the new gods movie that eva duvernay
was doing with tom king and the aquaman spin-off movie about the trench so it's actually not that
big a deal the trades like variety hollywood reporter deadline that are reporting the news
say the new gods movie was cancelled because they didn't want a movie featuring darkseid
so soon after seeing the version of dark side in the justice league snyder cut like for
whatever reason they felt like it was too soon to show you a different iteration of dark side
the funny thing about that is that we just got done seeing multiple versions of the joker and
we're probably going to see another version of the joker in the matt reeves batman trilogy at some
point in the next couple of years the whole thing with them cancelling the aquaman spin-off about
the trench the response from the studio was they felt like aquaman 2 was all the aquaman stuff that
they needed going on in the future until we get to the next justice league film so i'm not too broken
up about the trench news or the new gods news i'm sure we'll see future versions of darkseid once
they spin up in more cosmic dc films my next big video will be my falcon and winter soldier episode
3 video that'll post friday then after that i'll post my godzilla versus kong breakdown video on
easter eggs there's also a brand new space jam trailer that's gonna be dropping this weekend so
i'll try to do a video for that too if i have time while you wait for everything click here
for my godzilla versus kong ending and then credit scene video and click here for that other suicide
squad trailer video thank you so much for watching everyone stay safe and i'll see you guys tonight!
