Kick-Ass Revels In Oddball Violence

Kick-Ass is not your regular superhero movie. It is over the top but still way more realistic than what the MCU and the DCEU gives us. If we had to sum up Kick-Ass in one word, we would term it ‘weird’. The Suicide Squad’s weird humor has nothing on the oddball violence that is Kic-Ass.

Starship Troopers

Many failed to understand the movie back when it was released. But Paul Verhoeven’s movie is indeed one of the greatest space satire movies ever made. Johnny Rico’s bug killing spree look so realistic and the parody was so subtle that we all forgot the actual purpose of the movie.

Deadpool 2 Does R-Rated Action Better Than Any Other Movie

Deadpool 2

Deadpool 2 may not be the best superhero movie ever made. but it sure is a lot more entertaining. There is a weird on screen chemistry between Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool and Josh Brolin’s Cable that kept us on the edges of our seats. It is outrageously funny and nobody can deny that.

The movie ends with everyone dying. That alone makes it ‘Suicide’ Squad worthy. Rogue One has been called the greatest new age Star Wars movie ever made. We would be lying if we said we didn’t agree.

Fury Is Tanks, Toil, Terror & Tact

David Ayer’s Fury is all about fighting against evil at all odds. And the heroes would use any strategy imaginable, even something as dishonorable as playing dead, to take down the enemy. With a stellar star cast and an even better production value, Fury is a really good WW2 action flick that rides well on the suicide Squad theme.
