The Martha Scene

Actually, there is another stupid moment in the movie, way dumber than Enchantress fighting the Suicide Squad on the team’s terms. And that moment is when Diablo decides to fight Incubus and sacrifice himself for the other heroes to survive.

Why is it dumb? Because it’s out of character. Pretty much like the whole Martha scene from Batman v Superman. In the entire movie, Diablo doesn’t want to use his powers. Regardless, he does so, but only when pushed – literally, he is bullied into doing what he doesn’t want to do.

So how come the Suicide Squad is his new family? What actually convinced him that these bad guys (and we are reminded they are bad continuously, throughout the movie) actually have a connection with him?

Yeah – he died heroically. However, in aligning himself with the bad guys he stupidly considers family, he actually forgets why he has sworn never to use his powers. Basically, this is the second Martha scene in the DCEU.

Did you know that Aquaman’s father is named Tom, while Bruce Wayne’s is called Thomas? That’s how Aquaman will be convinced to join the Justice League.

I’ve lost all hope.
