‘Suicide Squad’ Director Wants To Go Back In Time & Fix His Mess Of A Film

 
‘Suicide Squad‘ was one of the most hyped movies of 2016, and when it came out, we all spent ~$20 to go and see the film that we hoped would be the resurrection of the DC Universe. 
What happened instead, was a steaming pile of hot garbage that we were forced to endure, and two hours and sixteen minutes later, we as a people were forever changed for the worse because of this terrible, terrible “film”. (Movies are of course subjective. If you liked it, that’s cool. You’re wrong, but like, it’s fine.)
The movie was critically panned, slammed, slaughtered, grievously harmed, murdered, and any other word that could be used in this context in place of ‘wholly and horrifically decimated’. Bruce Wayne‘s parents were more alive than ‘Suicide Squad’s praise-levels.
Now, David Ayer has responded to a fan account on Twitter, saying he… err – has some regrets. 
“I know Squad has its flaws, Hell, the World knows it. 

Nothing hurts more than to pick up a newspaper and see a couple years of your blood, sweat and tears ripped to shreds. The hate game is strong out there.
Wish I had a time machine. I’d make Joker the main villain and engineer a more grounded story. 

I have to take the good and bad and learn from it. I love making movies and I love DC. I’m a High School dropout who used to paint houses for a living. I’m lucky to have the job I have. 

I have to give the characters the stories and plots they deserve next time. Real talk. (And no, there isn’t a secret edit of the film with a bunch of Joker scenes hidden in a salt mine somewhere.)”

Hmm… we wonder how good he was at painting houses. #CareerOptions
