Why Suicide Squad will not Flop

Don't you worry DC and Warner Bros

Why Suicide Squad will not Flop

If anyone has been keeping up on DC Comic's latest movie, Suicide Squad, then you probably know that the critic’s reviews for it haven’t been so stellar.

This has apparently struck panic in Warner Bros and DC because Suicide Squad was supposed to be their jump start with DC comics and help excite people for their new phase of movies. Because if you haven’t noticed, DC’s superhero movies kind of suck. Or at least I personally don’t like them. Yes, even the much praised Batman trilogy. (Also everyone knows who Batman and Superman is, why not introduce other, cooler DC heroes instead of all these remakes? Just a thought).

Doing a little digging, I found out that Suicide Squad is supposed to live up to lots of expectations: not just for the the audience, but for the people behind the movie too. In the end, the most important thing is that the movie needs to rake in enough money to break even (and probably then some). I think that Warner Bros and DC shouldn’t be too worried about losing their money over this movie though. Here’s why: They used some big-name actors to help bring in non-superhero crazed audiences, the cast is a good mix of race (for Hollywood) and (binary) gender, and then the advertising. Oh the advertising.

As a loyal Marvel fan, I actually got really excited when I saw the first teaser trailer for this movie, and yes, I was shocked that DC was producing something that looked so cool. So far, the trailers for the movie have been amazing and it has drawn a huge audience in for the movie’s premiere. Also, I don’t know if you have noticed or not, but Suicide Squad has been plastered all over social media. They even got their own little Discovery Story on Snapchat earlier last week, and pop culture news outlets and publications have snuck some bits of the Squad into their pieces and/or features.

The hungry DC fans are more pumped than anyone about this movie because it is their time to bask in the glory of a (hopefully) fantastic DC movie. One particular fan even started a petition to take down Rotten Tomatoes after Suicide Squad’s terrible reviews, and boy did that take off. However, it was later found that the petition was started kind of as a joke, and the owner of the petition wants to take it down because he didn’t mean to spread vicious hate that some DC fans have for the critics.

Overall, I am going to wait a good week to see this movie because I know the theatre is still going to be packed with people anxiously waiting to finally see this. The hype was so real, that it seems like the critics reviews aren’t really making too big of an impact on the box office. Fans and anticipating viewers are still going to watch it, and probably enjoy it, even though there will be people who will easily admit that the movie had problems. But even with those problems, it’s probably still worth a watch.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
