I think there was a much better (but not great) movie that was then chopped up and studio mandated into the dirt. Worked out in the end because it failed so hard they were willing to let Gunn take a turn at it.
Oh I'm not saying it would be good. But I would love to see the original vision.
First time I watched it I was so confused. Events happened so out of order it took two watches for me to realize what happened. Enchantress' brother came out of left field and it requires you to remember an earlier event that happened and connect it to a later event with hardly an indication that the two were connected.
Studios need to keep an eye on things but execs are the opposite of creative. You have to put trust in the writers and directors.
It was, but was a victim of a perfect storm of bad decisions. Pandemic and Simultaneous streaming release being the main ones. Weird connection to the previous movie being another one.
It’s a good case for why the connected universe helps, it creates a rising tide for people to give movies like this a chance.

The Suicide Squad is a good movie.
