 * Big Bad: Starro.
 * Bloodier and Gorier: To help benefit from the R-rating, there is plenty of bloody violence.
 * Broad Strokes: The film only uses some continuity from the first film.
 * Darker and Edgier: There is more profanity and sexual content this time around.
 * Denser and Wackier: The film is more comedy driven.
 * Funny Animal: King Shark.
 * Literal-Minded: Ratcatcher 2 took Peacemaker's talk about an island full of dicks literally.
 * Loads and Loads of Characters: So much characters that there are two teams of the Suicide Squad.
 * Refuge in Audacity: It's a James Gunn movie, so this is naturally expected.
 * Shark Man: King Shark.
