Episode 7 – Suicide Squad from Another World

There are two things I want to remember about episode seven: the morbid choreography and the incredibly strong facial expressions. Some of the close-ups in this episode really made me squirm in my seat because of how mean-spirited they were, but that’s a real compliment. I mentioned that last week opened the door for the show to explore more psychological elements, and this episode carries that torch forward. If animation needed to retell Harley Quinn’s backstory for the fiftieth time, I’m glad they creatively did it. It’s smart to have the Thinker delve into Harry’s mind, only for her to go crazy and turn the tables. This proves that she’s the one to take out his people, because you could argue that the rest of the Suicide Squad might be more capable; their predictability could also be easily exploited. Harley is pure unpredictability, so it’s satisfying.

Some of the payoffs aren’t satisfying, like the whole joke about the Peacemaker’s helmet. Why did he make such a fuss about showing his face? I thought they were keeping this to save the day or because he has facial deformities and he’s trying to hide it under his helmet, but that’s not the case, he just looks like John Heenan. Wait, is this supposed to be a joke? We “can’t see Him” until He is ready to reveal Himself? I honestly don’t know if this is smart or stupid. Don’t get me wrong, this show does have a lot of silly moments because it counts on you getting into the adrenaline-filled rush and ignoring the details. I’m generally on board with this, but the details of this episode are a little hard to ignore because the plot hinges on specific details. A team taking advantage of the elves’ hive mind by torturing one of them would be pretty clever if it weren’t for the fact that we’ve already seen a dozen elves die in brutal ways and it never had a negative impact on any other elves.

That said, I like the final setting. That means we’re finally getting back to the real world to talk to Waller and update her on what’s going on. Like I mentioned a few episodes ago, it feels weird that we continue to show Waller in the finale when she’s barely an entity to the show itself. However, my biggest curiosity is probably the Queen. I don’t really know what her deal or angle is. Does her anger at her team’s success mean she wants her team to fail in some way? Maybe it was more about keeping the war going for some reason. I hope the reward is worth it!

I hope Dubbing Not the later episode. Considering how confusing some scenes can get, I was happy to be able to watch the English premiere and enjoy everyone’s jokes while being animated. I was a little caught off guard Sentai movie works Processing Dubbingbut I can confidently say that this is probably one of the better dubs they’ve put out in the past few years. Brandon Hernsberg As exaggerated as it sounds, Joven Jackson’s attitude is all Deadshot, and Sean Patrick Judge Trying to sound like John Heenan In the best possible way. The highlight so far is Carly Hoch as Harley Quinn. Part of me wishes she could put more emphasis on the accent, but she nails this crazy energy so well.
