“The Suicide Squad” is a 2021 film that serves as a soft reboot of the 2016 film of the same name. The plot revolves around a motley crew of supervillains who are conscripted by the government to complete a dangerous mission. Led by Amanda Waller, the members of the Suicide Squad, also known as Task Force X, must infiltrate an island called Corto Maltese to destroy a secret laboratory and stop a threat to the world.
The film is characterised by its absurd and insane nature, which is reflected in various ideas and scenes. One of the most absurd scenes is certainly the scene in which Harley Quinn (played by Margot Robbie) is kidnapped by a giant star ray and goes through a kind of love affair with this creature. This surreal situation gives the film an unexpected twist and shows the unique humour that director James Gunn is known for.
Another hilarious moment is the scene where Polka-Dot Man (played by David Dastmalchian) uses his special ability. He can drop glowing polka dots from his body, which then explode. This bizarre ability leads to some visually stunning yet hilarious moments in the film.
Another absurd idea in the film is the character of King Shark, a humanoid shark who is a member of the Suicide Squad. King Shark is a mixture of brutal violence and childlike naivety, which leads to some unexpected and amusing moments.
