David Ayer responds to Suicide Squad comparisons

The Suicide Squad is receiving almost all positive reviews. This film's positive reputation has begun to draw some attention to its 2016 predecessor. David Ayers Suicide Squadif that is even possible, was received with a kind of tepid shrug when the film arrived between Batman V. Superman, Wonder Woman, and Wonder Woman. Its most striking feature was Jared Leto's unpleasantly methodical approach to portraying the film's abruptly cut take on the Joker. The elements that worked in Suicide Squad have been carefully culled and harvested. Margot Robbies Harley Quinn was made into her own movie, while Gunns movie clearly takes a build-yourself approach to the original characters and details. Ayer was apparently unhappy with his movie's treatment. While the anger of Training Day writers at Warner Bros. was quickly eclipsed by the subsequent fights between Zack Snyder, the studio, and Justice League, the calls for The Ayer Cut were a low-key part of the DC film fan revolt over the years.AdvertisementThis all seems to have come to an end today when Ayer wrote a lengthy letter via Twitter in response to negative comparisons between his movie with Gunns. (It is worth noting that he did not include Gunn in his fury, but he expressed his pride in the work of his fellow directors in restoring the franchise. Ayers' post was responded to by Gunn and Birds Of Prey director Cathy Yan with words of support. Ayer begins to talk about his movie, laying out his life story. He clearly does not mean the 2016 Suicide Squad cut. You can read that again. Ayer claims that his Suicide Squadals are not the 10-week directors cut. This is an intricate and emotional journey that includes some bad people who have been discarded.Ayer claims that his cut was edited by Lee Smith using work by John Gilroy. This is a deliberate attempt to portray the movie as chaotic and Skrillex-backed. Ayer previously spoke out about how Deadpool's success caused executives to attempt to remake his movie to be a light-hearted and high-energy comedy. This transformation can easily be tracked by looking at the original Comic-Con tease, which was built around a slow, creepy cover version of I Started A Joke, to the Bohemian Rhapsody-tracked trailer. It is not clear whether either of these movies looks like a good time.He claims that Ayers' film has great performances, traditional character arcs and a solid third act resolution. Only a few people have seen it. A few people claim they have. Ayer made public calls last summer, when The Snyder Cut was announced, in order to have Warner give his film the same treatment. All of that has apparently been done: Ayer said that he won't speak publicly about the studio cut of the film. This letter will be his last word on the matter.
