Suicide Squad/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 5:

** Amanda Waller herself was a walking mine of awesome moments. Laughing off as her rebellious subordinate desperately held a gun to her face, and ''daring'' him to shoot. Utterly crushing Kobra's Janus Directive plans. [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|Easily mending the relationship between her son-in-law and her daughter by force of pure, unadulterated]] [[Sassy Black Woman|Sassy Black Womanhood]].

** Shattering the Thinker helmet counts. To wit, she's destroying a powerful piece of technology simply because it made her ''doubt'' if she was in charge of her life.

** The [[Pie in ~~The~~ Face|Mad Pie Thrower]].

** The [[Pie in the Face|Mad Pie Thrower]].

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Deadshot. The series put the character on the map and is largely credited for his popularity amongst fans. Because of this, he became the team's de facto field leader in the New 52 series.

** The squad itself in appearances in other books. Virtually every time they've shown up in guest spots, it's someone's depiction of a "classic" line-up, leading to people hoping for a revival.

* [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel]]: {{spoiler|As of issue 6, Yo-yo is still alive inside King Shark's stomach and he appears briefly to beg for help.}}

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Count Vertigo and Kanto wind up fighting each other in Issue 35, which is funny considering that both characters would later be voiced by Michael York in the [[DCAU]] shows (the former appearing in an episode of ''[[Batman ~~the~~ Animated Series]]'' and the latter in an episode of ''[[Superman ~~the~~ Animated Series]]'').

* [[Replacement Scrappy]]: The 2011 Squad reboot in general, in the eyes of many [[Secret Six]] fans.

* [[Rescued From the Scrappy Heap]]: The guy's name is Captain Boomerang, for crying out loud, yet he's one of a handful of characters to survive the whole series while going on most every mission, even ones where his teammates actively try to kill him.

** Of course. His name is Captain Boomerang. He always comes back.

* [[Tainted By the Preview]]: The New 52 reboot of Suicide Squad didn't make the best first impression. A lot of the people who would have eagerly supported such a book were put off by [[Secret Six]] getting cancelled seemingly to be replaced by the new Squad, and the new costumes (particularly for Harley Quinn) were... not well-recieved. Since the book officially launched, it has attracted a fair share of negative buzz for its gratuitous violence, characterizations that seem a bit off, and Amanda Waller's slimming-up.
