Well when the tone of the discussion about TDK turns into a negative enough one to be equated with a dangerous racist politician and an unsanitary fast food chain, I'll gladly admit you were onto something.

I actually haven't read the thread, it's kinda small so I assumed mostly people liked it. Like their was nothing worth complaining. Whoops
I'd be happy if it's the last one. They nailed a perfectly weird and energetic tone that I don't need to even see more of what the mission is.
Speaking of, 2 months out from Batman v Superman we should be getting the final trailer for BvS soon.
We're not going to get another one this close. More like May/June.
They'll have to try hard to top this trailer.

What's the Rating? David Ayer doesn't really do PG-13, but the stylish tone makes it look like it's going PG-13 to hide anything R.
For what it's worth, Deadshot is nothing more than a gun-for-hire. Assassination is just a job. There's an inherent apathy when he's put on a job.
What a bad list.

We should probably not turn a trailer thread into a general superhero film ranking chin-wag.

No way this is R. Hard PG-13.
Really? I expected better from you.
WB already said they weren't going for an R rating.
Just good old fun trolling like duckroll is doing nothing wrong with that.
I'm gonna watch Civil War and will like it most likely. Some people just take this fanboy war too seriously.

What's going on h...
Maybe you misread but I meant Batman v Superman, lol. I was like "Why would they release a new trailer for a movie that's been out for 2-3 months?" But I made a small edit to clear it up.
Ah... true method acting, not like whatever heath ledger was attempting.
I still remember this:

And his meltdown yesterday on twitter just made it, oh so sweet.

No joke I think Faraci needs serious help.
Ah, gotcha. Yeah, we'll maybe get one more, but I assumed the last one was the final trailer. I mean I'm not sure what else they should be showing.
He refuses to think this is the tone of the movie, says it's red herring because David Ayer has never done something like this.
Then makes fun of DC fans for making fun of the humor in Marvel movies.
Okay, this has come up enough time sin the thread and in other places that's I'm really curious. What is it about the tone of the movie which people feel has changed in this trailer? Because it really doesn't feel that way to me. The tone of the first trailer an this one is similar, the only difference is there is more footage this time and there are lamer tag lines at the end (Worst Heroes Ever is stupid as hell).
When you see the new trailer do you really see an upbeat comedy with "bad" people like Guardians of the Galaxy? Because I don't. I see a bunch of crazy people who are clearly mentally unhinged and they cope by trying to be funny. There's a very hard edge doom and gloom tone, and the "humor" seems to be a defence mechanism. Don't really see this as that different from most films Ayer has done. Crime ensembles with character focus and people are going to die. That Guardians aren't bad people, they're just punks. The Suicide Squad are by and large.... very bad people. There's no redemption story here.

I'm impressed. This went from barely on my radar to front-and-center.
Also, caught this flashing onscreen really fast at the beginning (though I'm sure I'm not the only one):
Oh Joker! You silly little scamp!
Joker must really like of Mortal Kombat
The only line that anyone says in either trailer that sticks to me is Will Smith making a quip about saving the world. It's like WB's marketing department is antsy about the movie being centered around villains.
I don't think the tones were very diff between the two either.
I think people are just filling in the blanks since the trailer is so similar to GoTG's in style that just going to the logical conclusion of being similar movies.

So Rope Guy is essentially Noonan from Armageddon, one of Harry's oil crew guys that doesn't get any sort of introduction but is there and dies.
Poor rope guy.
Poor rope guy.
Yeah, was typing something up since I didn't think the tone changed that much, but this hits it better.

Nothing changed. The giant panda costumes, human crocidiles, soul stealing sword shit were all in the original trailer. I don't really get the comparisons with GOTG either. They were bad guys? What did they do that was bad?

I think it was the music.
I didn't see a change in tone. Just a change in music and pace of the editing. Sometimes that's all it takes to flip people. The Batman v Superman SDCC trailer was a big hit and that had one type of music and a slower pace, the second trailer was not a big hit and the only difference between the presentations was the music and faster pacing.
It's like everyone forgot Dirty Dozen existed.
I'm not even a Marvel fan. I'm a DC guy. I'm a huge fan of both Batman and Superman. And those were terrible Batman and Superman movies (and the movies themselves were kinda trashy), in so many different ways each.
The way the trailer tells it's story tells the audience what they can expect from the movie. If a trailer is boring and dull (like the 1st Suicide Squad trailer), then people will see the movie as boring and dull. If the trailer is funny, exciting, and cool (like this trailer) then the movie will seem funny, exciting, and cool.
I don't really see the comparisons with GotG as valid either but I'm guessing it's due to the early trailer with police lineup featuring the characters and what they're wanted for.

While this trailer's a lot of fun, I already think the comic-con trailer will be the one that's referenced more years from now.
Why?
Exactly, which is my point. The only difference was the presentation. The movie didn't change, the tone didn't change, just the presentation in the trailer. Are we getting Suicide Squad First Look as the final product? Or are we getting Suicide Squad Trailer #1? Who is to say...
Well, considering the amount of work they did to make that very complex and expertly edited new trailer, it's safe to say the movie is closer to that than the original one.
