There’s a difference between status quo and complete amnesia. The Bond movies generally operate on status quo, but there’s still some continuity between films.
This is apparently something else altogether—a movie trying to be both a sequel and a standalone film, which doesn’t say much for how it views itself.

Re: The Suicide Squad 2021
I don't have high expectations, but I'll watch it just for King Shark. I like the casting of Stallone, although I am not sure he can compete with the King Shark from the Harley Quinn show.

Re: The Suicide Squad 2021
Let me see if I got all the squad
Rick Flag - non criminal, soldier, team leader. Shoots people with guns.
Harley Quinn - crazy psychiatrist, joker hechgirl, super acrobat, hits people with bat
Bloodsport - Deadshot replacement. Super tech suit and guns
Peacemaker - Former diplomat. Shoots people with guns
Captain Boomerang - aussie. Throws boomerangs at people. Sometimes they explode.
The Thinker - Flash villain. Telepathy and Telekinesis. super genius.
Sol Soria - assuming this is genderswapped version of a low rent guy who could unlock any lock with nanites.
Blackguard - forcefield suit
Polka Dot Man - high tech suit covered with polka dots that can transform into things
Savant - genius, martial artist
Mongal - sister of Mongul. Powerful alien, superman level strength
TDK - the detachable kid. Probably has the power to detach his arms.
Ratcatcher - mentally control rats
King Shark - superhuman shark man. strength. breath water. bite people.
Weasel - human weasel. weasel powers.
Javelin - throws javelins at people
Wow. First of all. that is a LOT of characters. Of course I expect most of them to die in the first couple acts and only a handful to make it through the movie. I think this squad will be a LOT bloodier than the last one with team deaths.
Who do I expect to come out at the end?
Flagg (obviously)
Quinn (obviously)
Peacemaker (already has spin off)
Boomerang (obviously)
King Shark (too cool to die)
Not sure on
Bloodsport (probably survive, but might die heroicly)
Weasel (played by Sean Gunn so might make it)
Ratcatcher (feat. predominately in the trailer, romance arc, so might make it)
Who I expect to die?
TDK
The Thinker
Sol Soria
Blackguard
Savant
Mongal
Javelin
Polka dot man

Re: The Suicide Squad 2021
I'm actually looking forward to this one. Schlocky dumb fun with goofy golden- and silver-age villains sounds a lot better than the endless procession of grimdark happening in (almost) the rest of the DCEU.
And for the love of god, I hope Gunn ditched that awful "what if Superman flew off with the president blah blah" pitch. That's never what the Squad was for. They're a wetwork squad under Waller's thumb whose actions she can credibly deny because they're criminals. In fact, make the entire first movie a vivid hallucination cooked up by Harley Quinn's nutty brain or something.Plague Doctor by Crimmy

Re: The Suicide Squad 2021
The little kid immortal who kept suckering in immortals with a helpless act then stabbing them in the back was cool too. And yeah as the seasons went on it started to lose ground with me as they had to keep escalating the stakes and creating crazier adventures to try and keep things interesting. Didnt they introduce the four horsemen as being immortals? I think i remember duncans buddy being one of them but its been so freaking long I cant remember clearly.

Re: The Suicide Squad 2021
Second trailer makes it seem almost palatable, but I feel like the first trailer is closer to the true spirit of the film.
Almost feels like they were presented in the wrong order.

Re: The Suicide Squad 2021
Just watched the second trailer.
"If we find out you have personalized license plates, you die" is not that funny a joke. I am surprised they used it in both trailers.

Re: The Suicide Squad 2021
Eh, they used a lot of the same footage in both trailers. Honestly I half wonder if the fact that the trailer released on April 1st, and so soon after the first one, means that the whole idea for it was to make the film taking itself seriously an April Fool's joke in and of itself.

Re: The Suicide Squad 2021
Trailer 1 was a Red Band Trailer
Trailer 2 was a Green Band Trailer.
In early 2000s they *gestures* (collapsing history) made new rules with movie trailers where if the trailer is showing rated R like content such as obsessive violence, profanity, etc (other rules I am forgetting without looking it up) ... that you should not show this rated R like content as a movie trailer before a G, PG, or PG-13 movie.
Thus "red band trailers" were created and were only supposed to appear before other rated R movies. Now you can still show green band trailers of rated R movies at a PG-13 movie and so on but the trailer will not give you an accurate representation of the final product.
-----
Fast Forward 8 or so years (not going to look up the precise dates) we see Red Band trailers being part of viral marketing with the rise of video websites such as YouTube. Now each of these Red Band trailers are supposed to ask you are you 17 as a dialog window, or have asked you in the past such as you being signed into YouTube and so on.
-----
Since Trailer 1 and Trailer 2 are released so close together that means the marketing people are seeing this as parallel marketing. Knowing Trailer 2 will not be available in some places or merely having two trailers will help with marketing buzz. Yet they will have lots of overlap since the marketing people are not sure you saw the Red Band trailer.Stupendous Man drawn by Linklele

Re: The Suicide Squad 2021
SS is actually my second favorite in the DC universe. Having said that, I've only seen the extended edition, which I've heard is better than the theatrical release. Speaking of...
SpoilerNot sure if this is different from the theatrical version, but in the extended she didn't beat the system but was busted out by Joker."That's a horrible idea! What time?"
