@Tupka217: I'll give you that it seemed kind of ridiculous to see Katana. I had been reading about it a bit, and thought, "She's not a bad guy. What is she doing here?". Flag certainly didn't need a body guard ... but having her character play off the others did a lot to bring to the surface how each one was looking at the world through their own perspective and the things that were simmering inside.

People didn't go to see SS because they wanted to use it to do something. If someone wants plot mechanisms with arms and legs they could start a a Black Widow standalone movie petition, or something else Marvely. DC has always been character-centric.

People don't remember Star Wars because it had a good plot. If anything it was kind of sub-par because the death star could have just warped over to Yavin right away. Or they could have used a single space ship to pull out of light speed and destroy the planet by hitting it at that speed (ask a physics person). Star Wars inspired because Darth Vader in his evil found a greatness that far surpassed the shabby achievement of common people and Luke's ability to overcome his attachments and believe in people in spite of their past. (OK, some flashy swords mixed in).

In SS they really parade around Margot Robbie's body and the prison goons drool all over her. So I asked myself, "Were they thinking I would go see a movie just to see MR with some glib, semi-sarcastic mixed in a substitute for irony?" Flag and Deadshot went a long way to turn that question I had around, but Katana did it all by herself and she could hold a movie all by herself.
