Suicide Squad: 12 Last Minute Concerns You Won't Admit

12. Generic Enemy Mooks Don't Replace Substance

If there's one thing you can say negatively and without question about the MCU, it's that they don't really know how to do villains. They've had a couple of successes with Loki and Ultron and Red Skull to a lesser extent, but the majority of them have been under-fleshed and insubstantial. That goes doubly for underlings and foot soldiers, who are no more than cannon fodder (see, in particular Ultron's robots and The Avengers' Chitauri).

The end result of that sort of thing is that nobody actually cares about them: they might as well be walking targets given their lack of credible threat or substance.

And there's a horrible sense that the Eyes Of The Adversary - the gloopy, black eye-covered mooks doing their master's bidding in Suicide Squad are going to be more of the same. They're there for shear numbers only, to give the ensemble something to do while they're navigating the levels to the big boss.
