Suicide Squad 2: 10 Things It Must Do Better Than The Original

10. Establish A Higher Threat Level

One of the biggest problems with Suicide Squad is that it didn't live up to its name.

This was supposed to be an expendable group of villains, any one of whom could have bitten the dust during their high-stakes mission, but most of the gang were never in any real jeopardy until it all kicked off at the end.

Harley Quinn was always going to be fine, Katana was untouchable and the likes of Deadshot and Rick Flag felt like dead certs for survival from the off.

The only times Suicide Squad wasn't doing a disservice to its title is when Flag blew Slipknot's head off and El Diablo redeemed himself through self-sacrifice.

This is the kind of thing the fans want more of in the sequel - a greater threat with the potential to take down any member or members of the band, a higher death toll, and uncertainty surrounding who will live and die until it actually happens.
