What Makes James Gunn's The Suicide Squad So Much Better Than The First Movie

As “The Suicide Squad” currently in cinemas as well as on HBO Max, some could be thinking, “Did they make more of these?” “Suicide Squad” — released in August 2016 almost five years ago, is not to be mistaken with this month’s “The Suicide Squad”. Both films have the same basic plot: a team of deadly, sentenced villains who are offered the option of completing a special mission in return for a shorter jail term, or they would die.

   
⁠

Is the 2021 movie, however, a sequel? A reinvention? Revamping? Yes. It is, indeed. In this quest, there are returning protagonists, new faces, and a fresh director, yet “The Suicide Squad” does not seem like the predecessor. The movie‘s obvious contrasts and change in the atmosphere are, in fact, part of the reason it was created in the first place. Here are the biggest differences between “Suicide Squad” versus “The Suicide Squad.
