David Ayer Introducing Suicide Squad Says: "F*ck Marvel" After A Fan Yells It First

Classy.

Suicide Squad current RT: 32%

David Ayer responds to 'Suicide Squad' mixed reviews by comparing his plight to Mexican peasants

With the reviews coming in mixed (but more positive than BvS), director David Ayer took to Twitter last night to respond. Maybe it was the pressure of knowing the DCEU is sitting squarely on his shoulders. Maybe it was an attempt at a fist-bump of solidarity with the fandom. Or maybe it was just indicative of a man who would yell “F**k Marvel” at the world premiere of Suicide Squad. Whatever the case, Ayer quotes Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata.

Prefiero morir de pie que vivir de rodillas - Emiliano Zapata
— David Ayer (@DavidAyerMovies) August 2, 2016

The translated quote reads, “I'd rather die standing than live on my knees.” Ayer later clarified:

Zapata quote is my way of saying I love the movie and believe in it. Made it for the fans. Best experience of my life. ??

Serious business.

Oh man, what's the reactions like from that youtube guy that was claiming Marvel was paying off reviewers for BvS? Is he okay?

 

[aBarreras]

What do you think about Thor 2? And is it better then Suicide Squad?

DCEU was a mistake. It's nothing but trash.

Unlike BvS, however, I actually expected this one to be good considering how well made and fun the trailers looked.
At this point I don't know if they can actually salvage this cinematic universe thing without at least a soft reboot.

I love how there's fans for a movie they haven't seen yet

talking about evans(not really related) is that paul rudd on your avatar? haha

 

[roflwaffles]

"I made it for the fans" is basically saying the movie is shit but you fanboys will eat it up.

I check out the DC Extended Universe FB page once in a while just to see the wildfire going on haha.

Yeah this shit is infuriating. Hey WB guess what, I am a fucking fan too and your end product doesn't please me one bit.

They should change it to "I made it for the stans".

 

[Broken Joystick]

Thor 2 exists on its on plane of existence. The only thing better than Thor and Loki bromance is a Thor and Hulk bromance.

As soon as the "this was for the fans, not critic" bullshit starts coming out, you know the movie is awful.

Instead going after WB they go after a website..yeah it is kinda sad now.

 

[NastyBook]

I want an Invincible series, dammit!

Invincible on Netflix would be dope af. And bloodier than Dead/Alive, so visual effects would take a backseat to practical ones. Beyond on board.

Ehh, 13.000 out of millions of other fans....Sad sure, and pretty dumb too.

It's better than BvS at least.

Agreed.

What the hell? Not even that bar scene with the drinks made it in?

^ Bar scene is in. Harley never asks what they want iirc, but it's in.

Saw SUICIDE SQUAD again. Big hit with the whole family. The characters land, and that makes all the difference.

I think someone mentioned the bar scene, so it's still in... That line from Harley is cut, though

Ah, I was about to say.

 

[Obliterator]

Yeah despite the reviews I'm going to see it this weekend still for sure. BvS was reviewed horribly, and frankly it had more issues than I can name, but I still thought it was ok and worth seeing in a theater.

This is reviewing slightly higher than that so I won't be surprised if I have an ok / decent time with it

I have a feeling this movie was a victim of WB wanting a PG-13 rating and not an R.

He's like: 'Oh no, bad childhood memory flashback.... nonononoooo

 

[John Dunbar]

so have the bad reviews had any effect on the box office or is the movie still expected to get 140 million or something obscene like that during the opening weekend?

 

[old manatee]

Russell Brand is really taking it to Pee Wee Herman.

 

[spookyfish]

Well, with the BvS movie, the Ultimate Cut was announced even before the movie released in theaters.

But, from what I'm hearing, I hope an extended cut is in the offing.
