So one thing that confused me was why was Waller just ok with letting Starro go unchecked. Seems like that would be a threat that needs dealing with but she just tells to the suicide squad to just leave.
>>147127550Gunn is a hack.
>>147127550not in america. pretty sure she states that americans cant be on that soil doing military shit or whatever its called
>>147127550Nation was not friendly after the first revolution, black ops team in nation off the books, everything destroyed means no chance of being caught.
>>147127550Starro's rampage could cover up any sign of the Squad's presence being there. A giant starfish monster destroying shit will attract way more coverage than reports of a meta-human team that helped politically de-stabilize a small country. The Justice League also exists in this universe so chances are she was betting they would take care of it.
>>147127550It's not the suicide squad's job to save the world.That would be the job of the Justice League, or numerous other heroes willing to risk their lives.
>>147127550She can call up the justice league whenever she wants when starro ever gets close to anywhere it shouldn't, the suicide squad was sent because they're off the books and when starro makes it to anywhere important she doesn't have any connection to it being let loose, and Waller was going to leave starro knowing it would wreak havoc on its captors which I guess is some kind of allegory for american intervention.
>>147127550>So one thing that confused me was why was Waller just ok with letting Starro go unchecked.They would've called in Superman and/or sent nukes. She didn't want anymore attention.That team wasn't designed with the ability to solve such a huge fuck up.
>>147127550Because that wasn't their job.Waller knew the Justice League would take care of it, and the squad's mission was already done.
Gunn went with Starro because he likes the squid-like image. It's something that's been around since Slither
>>147127608>. The Justice League also exists in this universeNot anymore. Gunn said they don't exist yet.
>>147128868But they were present in peacemaker, which is directed by james gunn, and that takes place not too long after suicide squad
>>147128847Starro is a cosmic threat to the justice league and not a street level punk to be bested by the no one cares squad
>>147129027Starro's powers are pretty inconsistent. Also, it's Gunn's fault for not knowing how to show how big of a deal the squadron is. I know the movie was low budget, but that's his problem.
>>147128988Gunn retconned it and now that scene never happenedhttps://tvline.com/interviews/peacemaker-justice-league-cameo-non-canon-new-dcu-explained-1235384460/
The team she sent wasnt equipped to deal with Starro. She needed them out because their existence would implicate the US. She needed them out, once Starro is known to the world the USAF or the JL would deal with him.
>>147129094But at the time they did exist, so they would've handled itWe're not doing post release patches for movies
>>147129855I am not a pr shill. I denounce the talmud. Christ is King.I would rather they post release patches than cinematic universes be gobbldygook. I wish DC chose a single universe to make live action movies in and made them not shit. Star Trek had the balls to decanonize the nigress show. Star Wars should have the balls to decanonize the sequel trilogy.
>>147127550Because something needed to happen. Dumb zoomer.
>>147129066The Squad isn't a big deal. They're a bunch of losers sent to use their particular skills in desperate even suicidal situations for the benefit of glowie higher-ups. Maybe you just don't get it.
>>147127550I just hate that a character who's supposed to be so dangerous and threatening that the justice league had to be formed to stop him is reduced to "silly starfish, Harley stab him in the eye and make funny! Haha, people died! Movie silly!".
>>147127550Lol I dunno
>>147127550Why the hell does it have a big gelatinous human eye, anyway
>>147127550Movie Starro isn’t the same level of a threat he is in the comics.In the movie he was mostly a regular kaiju with some useful mind control spawns. Works better if used by a different country to kickstart a terrorist attack with his zombie starfishes.He is quite weak and a regular bombing would be enough to deal with him , or by just sending a team of supers since canonically the JL is a thing in this movie.So he can be free to roam and destroy Colto Maltese since it is a rogue nation until they will bomb him down.
>>147130257In the comics they were a big deal. The thing is, they're relagated to doing dirty work
>>147129027Not the starro in the movie. Og starro is a eldritch abomination, while movie starro was just an alien with mind control ability that the USA captured and turned into a kaiju.Those are two different characters
