James Gunn's Suicide Squad 2 is filled with the most dangerous villains in the DC Universe. Speaking of evil, however, Amanda Waller in this movie is definitely one of the most annoying characters.
In the film, Amanda Waller can kill Task Force X agents when she thinks she needs to. If her men didn't listen to her orders, she could kill them. Speaking of Suicide Squad 2, director James Gunn once said that not everyone in the film will live to the end. However, to the surprise of many, the beloved character Rick Fryger was also killed. So why did James Gunn kill the character?
The opening of Suicide Squad 2 is not only planned, but also spectacular. Naturally, what struck us most was Amanda Waller's cruelty. She sent one team as a "death squad" to be used as bait, while the members of the other team were her real pawns. However, in the thrilling battle of the first act, Fleg eventually survived, which was clearly outside Amanda Waller's plan.
According to James Gunn, Amanda Waller actually wanted to get revenge on Colonel Rick Fryger. In an interview with Script Apart, James Gunn revealed that in the original Suicide Squad 2 movie, there was a flashback scene showing a very humorous exchange between Amanda Waller and Rick Fryger. Unfortunately, Amanda Waller couldn't handle the matter very well.
In response, James Gunn said: "We deleted one thing from the movie, and sometimes I think, I wish I hadn't deleted the scene. Because this shot explains why Amanda Waller put Fleg in the team that was ready to be sacrificed by her. Because in the original shot, Fleg mocks Amanda's clothes, thinking that her clothes look like a clown pulling on it. As for the others, Amanda just thinks they don't, like Harley Quinn. ”
From that point of view, if you live in the DC Universe, I will tell you not to mess with Amanda Waller. Yes, she was so careful. Because her shirt is insulted, she wants to kill you. By the way, James Gunn said the shot was removed in the film. So, if you really want to see this scene, you might only be able to count on the home version of Suicide Squad 2. Of course, whether James Gunn will add the story to this version is still a matter of consideration. Because I think, even without this shot, the whole movie is perfect. Because although Fryg escaped the first difficulty, he did not survive in the end.
Although Rick Fryger survived the ordeal on the beach, he eventually died at the hands of The Peacemaker, one of the most heartbreaking deaths in Suicide Squad 2. Although it was a tragedy, this moment still made Joel Kinnaman's Freiger in the middle of the night an admirable character. Of course, the story of Suicide Squad 2 will certainly continue, at least the story of the Peacemaker. So, although Fleg said goodbye to us, he is still the most memorable character in the movie.
