Setting an example

As said, someone needs to die just to set an example. And who could that be? Well, it will be a useless character, who is stupid enough to try and run away, despite what Rick Flag said.

And that character is Slipknot – whose skills aren’t too awesome. You might have figured that out, since he is missing from all of the scenes with the squad in action. However, the blitz trailer could have been too explicit and may have revealed his death scene (or, at least, what decides his demise).

Thus, when Rick Flag tells them no to flee because they will die, we see Slipknot using his ropes (what a superpower!) and leaving his team behind. We believe that this decides his fate. Will his head explode? We have no idea, though the blitz trailer is explicit when it comes to something being injected in the squad members. Will he be sniped? Still in the dark – but, no matter what, he will die before everything heats up.
