How To Build Your Own Suicide Squad

After a solid year and a half waiting for the new movie "Suicide Squad" to premiere, I finally got to watch the spectacular film Thursday night, August 3, 2016. Before purchasing the tickets, my friend, sister and I looked online at some reviews of the movie. Most were poor reviews, so immediately, as expected, my hopes sunk to the ground. I started to give it a second thought, wondering if I should really waste my time and money on a movie that received so many awful opinions. And yes, I take opinions very seriously. But, I got talked into watching it regardless and so here I am, waiting to see if the movie I was so desperate in seeing will actually live up to the hype that I was giving it.

After two hours and 10 minutes of suspenseful, mind-blowing, skin crawling, nail-biting, seat grabbing action, I found myself stuck (metaphorically) in my seat. I sat there for a good five minutes, just really processing what I just watched. It was one of those moments where you just sit and kind of replay an entire scenario in your head. I mean, I was just sitting there thinking, “What did I just watch, and why do I want to see it 1,000 times over again?" You know when you watch a movie and it really resonates you, to the point that when you’re watching it, you feel as though you are in the movie? That’s how I felt. Even when it was over, I still felt like I was a super villain, just like them. They really made me believe that I was apart of the movie. It felt so alive and real, it truly altered my perspective on everything.

Enough about the movie. After I watched it for the second time today, I was thinking of ways that this could actually apply to the real human world. What if, suicide squads actually existed? Would you know who to put on your team? Would your squad dominate all the other bad guy squads?

Based off of the movie, I can just give silly, non-applicable (but very cool) tips on who to put on your squad based on the characters from "Suicide Squad."

First, you need someone quick and nimble. Like Dead Shot. He aims with precision and 100 percent accuracy every time he used a gun. You need someone who’s agile and can sense danger from miles away. Someone with perfect vision, never needed glasses in his life. And he or she needs to have fast reflexes.

Secondly, you need some sort of animal-like person on your squad. Like Killer Croc, this member has to have animal like instincts. Preferably can live outside or inside of the water. Should be a very good swimmer and must be strong.

The third member has to be all sorts of crazy. Like the infamous Harley Quinn, the Joker’s girlfriend. Find someone who is fearless, reckless and psychotic. Someone who can kill anyone and not feel anything about it. Someone who will risk her life just because she thinks it’s “thrilling."

You then need someone who is all about crime-committing. They have tricks up their sleeves that nobody else knows about. They can help in very mysterious ways. And it is better if they are more on the ferocious side, like Captain Boomerang. He is described as a “violent thug who uses a variety of high tech boomerangs to commit crimes."

Lastly, on your team, you need someone who has supernatural powers. But doesn't play the bad guy, he actually has a lot of good in heart. Someone who is the strongest out of the team, who can knock everyone out with a single flick of his hands. But must have good intentions or he could destroy the entire world. He is critical to be on the team because ultimately, he will destroy the villain.

You also need someone who will defy everything and everyone. Someone who has a partner on the other side. Someone like the Joker, a ruthless, unforgiving, unapologetic, morally incorrect, unsympathetic evil soul that you will ever encounter. At the end, he will probably take over, so make sure he stays on your side and doesn't turn his back on you. Also, make sure he's good looking, he has to be the looker on the team.

And then of course you need a bunch of good guys, a boss leader who is definitely a woman, a commander in chief of the so called human army and a wicked, witch creature, possessed enchantress who plays the bad guy and has supernatural powers and is very difficult to defeat. And then you can basically make your own suicide squad or pretend to have one.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
