Why ‘Suicide Squad’ Is a Failure

Guardians of the Galaxy has a non-wow story, but got good ratings because of the humour and good-feelingness — even through the thin plot.
Suicide Squad didn’t have that. There was so much potential for Suicide Squad, that I feel like the director and writer needed an additional year or two to really come up with a good story.
Stopping Enchantress from creating a machine to destroy everything is not a good plotline.
We need mystery, surprise, delight and humour, not shallow emotional weight.
